Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described in the question is an example of communication accommodation theory, where individuals adjust their communication behaviors to match those of the people they are interacting with. Brenda has been trying to fit in with her American friends, while the friends have also been adapting to her communication style, even if it is not a conscious effort. Culture shock, evolutionary psychology theory, and contact theory do not necessarily relate to this specific scenario.
