Communicative styles refer to the various ways in which people express themselves verbally and non-verbally when communicating with others. These styles can include direct or indirect communication, formal or informal language, assertive or passive communication, and various non-verbal cues such as body language and tone of voice. Communicative styles can be influenced by cultural and societal norms, personal experiences, and individual personalities. Understanding and adapting to different communicative styles can improve interpersonal relationships and facilitate effective communication.
