Styles of Communication Discussion

I don’t understand this Sociology question and need help to study.

Each of us has a preferred style of communicating with others which can be characterized as emotive, reflective, supportive, or directive. Identify and discuss your preferred style and its benefits. Next, identify roadblocks that may occur when behaviors associated with your style are displayed to excess. Last, but not least select one other style apart from your own that you may be willing to flex into and why you selected that particular style.
