Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empathic listening involves attempting to feel as the speaker feels, trying to understand their perspective and emotions without judgment or personal bias. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option A (subjective) refers to personal opinions and biases, which are discouraged in empathic listening. Option C (nonjudgmental) is important for creating a safe and open space for the speaker to share, but does not necessarily involve attempting to feel as the speaker feels. Option D (active) is a broad term that can refer to any type of engaged listening, including empathic listening, but is not as specific.
