Appendix I:
Handbook for the Communication Skills Test
General, description:
The CST requires observers to make a 5-point rating of each statement emitted by subjects during their problem-solving interaction.
The observer attends only to the speaker and rates the speaker's statement: very negative — 1 negative — 2 neutral — 3 positive — A very positive — 5
Observers follow a two-step procedure in making CST ratings.First: As the speaker talks, the observer scans the speaker's statement
for the occurrence of Individual positive, very positive, negative, and very negative communication/problem-solving behaviors (as defined within this booklet).
Second: When the speaker is finished, the observer then makes a judgement of the overall "positiveness" of the entire statement on the basis of the individual behaviors emitted by the speaker during that statement using the scoring sheet.
These ratings reflect the degree of communication proficiency exhibited by the speaker.
Observers are given the following guidelines for judging CST scores:
When either positive, very positive, negative, or very negative behaviors occur within the context of otherwise neutral behaviors, the entire statement is rated in accordance with the type of positively or negatively valued behavior that occurred.
When both positive and very positive or both negative and very negative behaviors are combined in the same statement, the more extreme rating of very positive (5) or very negative (1) is given to the statement.
Statements containing only neutral behaviors are rated neutral (3).
Frequently behaviors with different positive and negative valences occur in the same statement. In this case observers are Instructed to judge the relative contributions of the individual behaviors to the statement as a whole and to produce one CST rating that best reflects the overall level of communication skill exhibited in the statement.
The Communication Skills TestVfijci Positive = 5 pointsA) Summarizing other or both:
Reneating back the content of what the partner has said and/or what both partners have said up until that point before going on to present another point of view or solution.Ex: "So what you're saying is ..."
"What you've said so far is...""What I understand is that..."
Your notes:
B) Checking out:Similar to summarizing but the goal is to make sure that the listener actually heard what was really meant by the speaker. To see if intent equals impact.Ex: "I don't think you've been a spendthrift ijt that's
what you felt I was saying...""I feel like you're making fun of me; Is that what you mean tn do?"
Your notes:
Very Positive continued = 5 pointsC) Opinion/feeling probe:
The speaker asks the listner how s/he feels or thinks about what was said or the topic at hand.Ex: "What do you think febout that idea?"
"How do you feel about going out?""What's on your mind?"
Your notes:
D) Specific plan:The speaker suggests a specific plan for solving the problem under discussion. To be specific, the plan is to include who is to do what under what circumstances (who, when, where).Ex; "I think we should divide up the housework so
that I do the dusting and vacuuming on Saturday mornings and you clean the bathrooms and mop on your day off.""I could get the children bathed while you cook dinner on week nights and on the weekends we could switch."
Your notes:
E) Specific feedback:The speaker tells his/her partner what he/she thinks about what the partner has done or :said and why.Ex: "I like your idea because it gives each of us
some time to ourselves.""I got angry when you criticized me in front of your mother."
Very Posjtive continued = 5 pointsH) Validation:
Similar to summarizing except that in addition to repeating back the content of the speaker's message the partner also repeats back the feelings the speaker has expressed. Validation deals more with the affect of the cnmmunicat'* on.Ex: "You're feeling real bummed out about not getting
that promotion.""It's exciting for you to get to plan this year's family reunion."
"It makes you angry when I talk to other women at parties."Your notes:
87
Very positive continued = 5 pointsYour notes:
F) Back on beam:
The speaker says something to get the discussion back on the original topic. This usually occurs in response to the partner having gotten off the topic but the speaker can also pull him/herself back on track if s/he has strayed from the discussion.Ex: "Let's get back to discussing how to discipline
Tommy""I'm sorry, I think I got off track. What were we talking about?"
"We need to stay focused on the problem at hand before we start talking about that."
Your notes:
G) Metacommunication:The speaker makes a statement that ties together the preceding discussion.Ex: "Not only have we discussed how little time we've
been getting to spend with each other but we've actually come up with some good solutions.""Although the problem seemed to be that my mother interferes with us it has turned out that I'm really not assertive enough with her."
Your notes:
Positive = 4 pointsA) Feeling statement:
The speaker expresses his/her own feelings in a direct and specific way. I feel _______ because________.Ex: "I was angry when you came home.late last night."
"I feel good when you compliment me.""I get upset because you are yelling at me."
Your notes:
B) Agree or disagree with rationale provided:The speaker agrees or disagrees with what his/her partner has said and gives a reason for his/her disagreement or agreement.Ex: "I agree that we need to take more time with the
children because our work schedules have gotten busier.""I don't think that is such a good plan since we already told our parents that we would alternate spending holidays with them."
Your notes:
C) Plan suggestion that is not specific:The speaker makes a general statement about a possible course of action or problem solution but does not describe the who, were, when, and how of implementing the solution.Ex: "We need to do more things together."
"The problem is that we have too many debtd so we need to spend less money."
89
P.o.sLtiye continued = b points Your notes:
D) Compliment:The speaker says something nice to his/her partner or makes some other positive comment to the partner regarding his/her appearance, behavior, and/or ideas.Ex: "You sure have a way with words."
"You did a nice job re-papering the kitchen." "That's a great idea*"
Your notes:
E) Clarification request:The partner is asked to be more specific in his/her communication or is asked to clear up a possible mi scommunication.Ex: "I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to
say.""Would you explain what you mean?"
Your notes:
F) Accept responsibilityThe speaker describes some way he/she is involved in the problem under discussion.Ex: "I know that I have a tendency to interrupt youand that this makes it difficult to talk with me."
Positive continued = k points"I probably haven't been doing as much housework as I should."
Your notes:
G) Empathy:An expression of understanding that is less specific than that found in validation.Ex: "I know how you must feel."
"I can understand that you're upset.""That must be tough to take."
Your notes:
H) Summarizing self concisely or to clarify a point:The speaker repeats what s/he was trying to say in a sentence or two without more elaboration. S/he may use this to clear up a possible misunderstanding.Ex: "What I was trying to say is that I care about you
"As I said, I disagree with that plan."Your notes:
I) HumorA partner says something light or funny during the discussion that does not appear to be sarcastic or a put down.
Occurs when discussion of one problem area drifts into discussion of other problem areas without any of the problems getting resolved.Your notes:
B) Kitchen sinking:Occurs when the discussion starts on one issue and, before there is time to explore that issue, one partner or the other drags in other gripes that may or may not be related.Your notes:
C) Mind reading with negative affect:Mind reading occurs whenever one person assumes what another person is either feeling or thinking without asking.Ex: "I know you like romantic-type movies, so I made arrangements to go to see the new picture in town tonight —
I'm sure you'll like it.""The problem is that you feel that the house is a mess all the time — and that's just not true."
Your notes:
D) PutdownEx: "You're an idiot."
"I can't get over how dense you are."
Your notes:
96
Very negative continued = 1E) Summarizing self
Occurs when each person continues restating his or her won position. Each person is so sure he or she is right that they both think it's a waste of time to try to hear and understand the other person’s viewpoint.Your notes:
F) BlamingEx: "It's all your fault that it's taking so long."
"If it weren't for you, I'd be a lot happier."Your notes:
G) Character assassinationOccurs when one partner attributes bad or insulting characteristics or qualities to the other partner.Ex: "You're an insensitive person."
"You're just like your mother, never satisfied,""You don't help around the house because you're lazy."Your notes:
H) Yes, but...Occurs when one partner's every attempt to make a suggestion or to state apoint of view has something wrong with it.Ex: "I know, but..."
"But I do things that way because I love you."Your notes:
