Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An institutional setting refers to any organized context in which people engage in communication for a specific purpose, such as in a workplace or educational setting. In such settings, communication is governed by rules and norms specific to that context. This is different from a personal or informal setting, in which communication is less structured and governed by personal relationships rather than organizational rules. A therapeutic setting, on the other hand, is a specific type of institutional setting where communication is focused on facilitating personal growth or healing.
