watching them do the first time

victim’s view or the traffic obstruction view and then have 
different perceptions 
• (b) Experiences : past incidents, reading etc affect responses 
significantly 
• (c) Interpretations : Combines perceptions and experiences 
and come out with some other view 
• (d) Generalizations : Not giving importance to the present 
incident, you might say that generally such things happen 
because…. 
• A person’s responses indicate his perceptions, experiences 
and interpretation and serve to view his mind – so that you 
can frame your own response

• If some one is very persistent and you must avoid him, 
say a definitive “NO” as a complete sentence 
• Ask for some thing in return – which is equal to NO 
• Say YES, but recount what you can not and do not 
want to do and what you can and do want to do in the 
process

• How you say NO matters more than what you say. 
Your NVC must match COMMUNICATION it favourably
