For example if my colleague was struggling to connect with their graduate student, and we found ourselves at a function with other advisers, I might casually ask a group whether they’ve experienced trouble connecting with their students and, if so, how they managed the situation. One approach involves covertly providing practical support, like cleaning up the house without being asked.Īnother could involve helping broaden people’s perspectives indirectly by, for example, talking in general terms about others who have dealt with similar experiences (for example, ‘it’s amazing how stressful everyone finds parenthood’), or by soliciting advice from someone else but without signalling that the questions are meant to help the person in need. In such situations providing support invisibly, without people being aware you’re helping them is useful. Ethan Kross isnt just a world-renowned scientist, hes an expert storyteller too. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still ways of helping others when they experience chatter and don’t ask for assistance. Offering advice about how to reduce chatter can backfire when people don’t ask for help it threatens people’s sense of self-efficacy and autonomy.
