What is the main difference between a confirming and a disconfirming response to a message? Provide an example of each.

-A confirming response causes the other person to value himself or herself more while a disconfirming response causes another person to value himself or herself less.
-An example of a confirming response would be,"I'm sorry,Becca,I know how frustrated you must be waiting for your test results-I know those results are important to you," to Becca's statement,"I'm worried that my cough may be something serious."
-A disconfirming response would be no response whatsoever,either verbal or nonverbal,or "Becca you're such a worrier-I had a cough a couple of weeks ago and I'm okay now.It's just something going around."
- Student examples will vary.
