Communicative behaviors are psychological constructs that influence individual differences in expressing feelings, needs, and thoughts as a substitute for more direct and open communication.[1] More specifically, communicative behaviors refer to people's tendency to express themselves using indirect messages.[2] Much of our communication is, in fact, non-verbal.
Any behavior (or absence of it) may be judged as communicative if it intends to convey a message. For example, an expressive hairstyle, a show of a particular emotion, or simply doing (or not doing) the dishes can be means by which people may convey messages to each other.
Behavioral communication can be understood as a variable of individual differences. Some people, more than others, tend to engage in indirect or behavioral communication, whether consciously or unconsciously, despite the different alternatives to verbal communication.[1] An individual's behavioral style significantly affects verbal and nonverbal communication.[3] Someone rarely utilizes all behavioral communication styles. Identifying one's behavioral style requires a high level of self-awareness.[3]
There are different way to communicate such as direct and indirect communication. Direct communication clear states what their intentions or instructions are, while indirect communication relies on different forms of communication to relay their meaning or intentions.
Direct communication strategies: using imperatives, statement of prohibition, instructions, statement of permission/preference, or suggestions.
Indirect communication strategies: using questions, attributed directions, appeal to feelings, or rationals/hints.
