How does emotion effect your listening?
I'm not as likely to listen if I'm tired or I find the conversation boring. Other than that, emotion doesn't have much effect on how I listen.
How does your physical environment effect your listening?
I don't think my listening is really effected by my physical environment. I suppose, though, that if I'm really uncomfortable, I'd probably be paying more attention to getting a more comfortable situation.
Do you ever create bias between certain genders that effect your listening?
I don't think so.
Does your culture affect the way you listen?
Probably. I was raised in a culture where you listen, and not interrupt the speaker.
Have you shown any disinterested non-verbal facial expressions when listening?
Only on purpose. Usually if I've hinted at the conversation being boring and they still aren't getting it. (I've only done this once, maybe twice. Now that I think about it, that was an awful date...)
Does the age of the person you talk to effect you’re listening?
It doesn't have an effect on whether or not I'm listening, but on how I'm listening. It requires more attention to listen to and understand a young child than an adult. I'm not saying I listen to them more, but that it's a more involved listening.
When you talk to someone do they exhibit any disinterested expressions or behaviors?
Yes, that's happened a few times, but it happens less and less often.
Which do you think effects listening the most Gender or Culture and why?
For me, it's culture. We (as in the US) live in a culture where men and women are mostly treated equally, or at least that's the ideal. BUT, in other cultures, especially those cultures in which women are not as highly valued or respected, gender has a huge role, but a lot of that has to do with their culture. Culture and gender, when it comes to things like this, go together. Culture effects how gender is viewed.
During conversations what turns you off?
If the person listening is not giving their full attention to the speaker, or if the speaker incorporates a lot of ums and erms in what they're saying. Lots of pointless pauses will very quickly cause me to lose interest in what the speaker is saying.
Any misconceptions within listening?
(I'm not sure what's being asked here. Maybe how are things misconceived in a conversation?) There is more to listening than just what the speaker is saying. Not everything somebody communicates is communicated through voice. Much can be heard and understood through a person's tone, body language, and facial expressions. The same words can be said, but mean different things when paired with non-verbal communicators.
