Abstract:
We examined how the experience of high-quality listening impacts speakers basic psychological needs and state self-esteem when discussing the difficult topic of a prejudiced attitude. We hypothesized that when speakers discuss a prejudiced attitude with high-quality listeners, they experience higher autonomy, relatedness, and self-esteem than speakers who share their prejudiced attitude while experiencing moderate listening. Two experiments that manipulated listening through in-person interactions with high-quality or moderate listeners supported these hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, with a focus on the role of experiencing high-quality listening for speakers state self-esteem during difficult conversations.
