| Analyzing the table, I see that I easily fall into the category with high individualism, the reason being that I am not a person who gets very attached to people. although I come from a collectivist environment, that is, this society taught me about individualism, about respect for hierarchy. I also feel that monochronism suits me. probably some problems in communication will be more with very confident, family-oriented people, that is, more collectivist, because they are usually very free-spirited people.

| Analyzing the table, I see that I fall into the category with polychronism, the reason being that I am a person who gets attached to people very easily and in a group I always orient myself to create a relationship with those around me. That's why I feel that polychronism suits me, at the same time I don't set a specific time for completing each task.

| When I think at myself and my personal communication style, I can identification with the affective style. Depending on my interlocutor, I am always trying to find a common ground and to adapt my speech in order to make them sympathise with me. I think I might have problems in communication with persons with a contextual style, because they seem very oriented on this hierarchical positions and honestly I feel like the way I comunicate should not be so based on social aspects.

|
| By analysing this table, as far as I am concerned, my communication style is not "pure" at all. I fall for both poles, for instance: in my mind I feel like I am more problem-focused in disscusing with someone, but when getting to express my thoughts, I will be more transmitter-oriented, caring about the existent relationship or trying to build one with my interlocutor. Sometimes I am like a psychologist - I will not tell you things you do not want to hear at that moment, but I will try to transmit my message anyways, without triggering you. Or, at least, this is how I want it to happen :))

| After analysing this table, I find it very hard to place myself in any of the specific categories. I think communication is highly dependable on the situation. I did some research on how people in Nordic countries typically communicate in these categories and it was personal and instrumental. I would agree on preferring to be clear on context with all communication and confidently express my personal opinions with choosing words carefully depending on the receiver. Communication should not be based on hierarchical positions and everybody should be free to express their opinions. Typically while doing team work I try to encourage others to express their opinions, because it's essential to hear others opinion before making decisions ("Good" decisions are made after evaluating all the opinions).

DARIE I. LAVINIA TEODORA
|
| After analysing the table, I came to the conclusion that I am more transmitter-oriented, focusing on building relathionships with the people I talk to. It explains a lot, since I usually tend to adapt my vocabulary, tone and subjects depending on the person or the group I face. The affective style fits me well, the same as the cultural dimension of collectivism. I sometimes get angry and have a hard time understanding problem-solving type of people, since I take into consideration many relative factors and to me, it seems in stressful times that they are unaware of these factors.

| About my communication style, in classification A, I tend to have a context-based style, because I find myself in many formal environments where hierarchy is important, but I also consider that I have a personal style in situations where I can. As for the B classification, I tend to move closer to an affective style, since I like to be empathetic and I worry about the bond with the other party.
Regarding cultural dimensions, I think that depending on the context I tend towards collectivism or individualism. In formal situations I tend towards collectivism and in other environments with more freedoms I tend towards individualism. I also tend towards polychronism, due to my interest in building relationships over time. Perhaps in situations focused on problem solving, I identify more with monochronism. In the case of personal style, problems that may arise are misinterpretations of informality or hierarchy conflicts. In the case of contextual style, implicit communication challenges may arise as the listening party may have difficulty discerning the intended meaning, leading to misunderstandings and expectations of formalism. In the case of instrumental style can emerge differing priorities and time management challenges, and in the affective style, maybe there is perceived superficiality and also time management conflicts.

| In classification A I would say I am leaning more towards the Personal style in most situations I find myself in, however sometimes in formal situations I might stick to formalism if I judge that individual style would be inappropriate for the occasion.
In classification B I would say I am leaning towards the Insturmental style as I am a problem-focused person and very topic focused in case it is a formal conversation or anything problem related.

| After confronting the data, I believe i´m kind of a mix because I can see a part of all of those styles, depending on the situation. Howsoever, I think that I lean more towards being transmitter-oriented, because of the way I typically adjust the way I act and talk to different groups, in order to establish connection with the individuals/groups I engage with. |

| In Spain, we are very bomistas, very funny and sympathetic, (especially the Andalusians), in fact it has happened to me to have these contrasts between different areas of Spain. I consider that I have a personal style. It has happened to me that in more serious contexts, I have had to change my way of speaking and I didn't know how to control my sympathy, so to speak. |

| Based on the classifications provided, my communication style aligns more closely with classification A(personal style). I tend to focus on individual opinions and value equality in discussions, preferring a less formal approach. This style reflects my individualistic tendencies, as I prioritize open dialogue and the sharing of personal ideas. When interacting with individuals who have different communication styles, several problems may arise: Misinterpretation of Intent-For example, if I communicate with someone who has a Contextual Style, they might perceive my casual tone as disrespectful or inappropriate, especially if they expect a formal approach based on hierarchy; and pace of Interaction- In contexts involving Affective Style communicators, my preference for directness may clash with their need to build emotional connections. This can create tension if I come across as too blunt or dismissive I have encountered such situations during group projects in university. In one instance, I worked with peers from different cultural backgrounds, including those with a more Contextual Style. While I valued open discussion and sharing ideas informally, they preferred a structured approach, focusing on established roles and hierarchy.

| An example of communication style differences I encountered was when working with a German exchange student in a group project. My style, leaning toward Personal and Instrumental communication, prioritizes efficiency, directness, and equality, but I also tend to be more flexible and open to unexpected discussions or shifts in priorities. In contrast, my German teammate followed a Contextual and Instrumental style, which combines respect for hierarchy and structure with a strong focus on task completion. This difference became clear when we were assigning roles and setting project deadlines. I approached the task as an equal exchange of ideas, expecting us to suggest roles based on preference and availability. However, my teammate followed a more structured approach, where he subtly took on a leadership role, outlining tasks and deadlines with a high degree of formality. At times, he would use formal language and expect the group to strictly adhere to his proposed structure, which I found surprising and, at times, restrictive.

| Based on the table, I have an instrumental style of communication, which means I focus on achieving practical outcomes and solutions through my interactions. I also do have a collectivist approach, ensuring that group harmony is maintained at all costs. When individuals with different communication styles interact, conflicts are likely to arise regarding how tasks should be performed and how communication should be conducted. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with people who have varying communication styles, often leading to differences in approach or opinion. Issues typically emerge when some individuals are more self-centered; they concentrate solely on their part of the project rather than contributing to the overall success. While this can be beneficial as it allows individuals to excel in their specific tasks, it can hinder teamwork and ultimately jeopardize the project's success. This can be compared to a football striker's role. If the striker believes, "I’ll only focus on my part when the ball comes to me," the team may miss out on scoring. In contrast, if the striker engages in team play, facilitating key passes to set up the final goal, they enhance the team's chances of success.

| Reflecting on my communication style, I’d classify myself as leaning toward a Personal, Instrumental Style. Coming from Croatia, I tend to focus on individual opinions, equality, and direct problem-solving. My approach is receiver-oriented and efficient, valuing clear communication over relational elements. While this is effective with like-minded individuals, it can lead to misunderstandings with those from Contextual or Affective Styles, who might value formality, implicit understanding, or relationship-building more. One memorable instance was during a group project with a classmate from a collectivist culture who preferred a more relationship-centered approach. My direct, task-focused communication style seemed too abrupt to them, leading to tension that affected our collaboration. They initially perceived my brief responses as disinterest, which we eventually clarified by openly discussing our expectations. This experience highlighted the importance of adapting my style when working with others who value different communication approaches. Adjusting my style to include more relational conversation has helped me foster better understanding and cooperation across cultural and communication divides.

| My communication style blends personal and instrumental approaches. I value individual opinions and prefer informal settings, fostering open dialogue. At the same time, I focus on problem-solving and addressing the needs of my audience. However, this can create challenges with those who have a contextual or affective style. For example, in a meeting with a hierarchical organization, my informal approach may clash with their expectations, leading to misunderstandings. I’ve faced situations where this mismatch caused tension; once, a colleague focused on relationship-building perceived my directness as insensitivity, straining our collaboration and delaying project progress. This experience highlighted the need to adapt my style for better connection with diverse communicators.

When I talk to someone, I focus on topics we both have in common, which helps me connect with them and stay on track. I also like to share stories from my life that relate to what we’re discussing. This makes the conversation more personal and helps build a stronger connection. By sharing my experiences, I aim to make the conversation both relevant and engaging for both of us. This way, I keep the discussion focused but also add a personal touch that brings it to life. |
