Correct Answer:

Verified

High context communication is "one where most of the information is already in the person, while very little is in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message". In other words, people rely on shared knowledge, the situation, and nonverbal cues to give meaning to communication. High context communication tends to be indirect. Low context communication is communication where the "mass of the information is vested in the explicit code". Low context communication is more direct, specific, and literal with less attention placed on gathering meaning from unstated contextual cues.

Imbalances in ______ are often pivotal features in conflicts in interpersonal, intergroup, and international/global contexts.
