This list of 16 compliance messages stood out for me. Of course I have a long way to go before having to deal with an unpredictable teenager, but it occurred to me that parents must have to use many of these strategies on a regular basis if their child is not compliant. Their typology is over 40 years old and I think it’s still extremely relevant. What I like about this list is that it’s very comprehensive, to the point of being almost universal. We’ve talked (the textbooks has mentioned) cultural differences in communication as a major theme, and I believe this list applies to all cultures. They are practical strategies we can use to try to convince the other person.
