“ If paying compliments Is such a
simple way to win friends and
Influence people, why are they so
awkward to give and hard to take?
There’s more to the give and take
of positive feedback than meets the
eye, but it’s a communication skill
anyone can leam, say two North
Carolina State University speech
communication professors.
Dr. Rebecca Leonard and
Dr. Ruth D. Anderson, who teach
positive feedback to interpersonal
tk» students at NCSU,

> motivate people.
it’s manager to em
ployee, parent to child, or friend to
friend, positive feedback is rein
forcement for good behavior,”
Leonard said.
Because society has taught us to
be humble, however, we often re
ject the positive feedback, she said.
A typical response to a compli
ment about a new dress might be,
“Oh, this old thing,1 or, “Gee,
I’ve always thought it looked like
something my mother wpuld —ar"
Leonard said.
Anderson said these inadvertent
putdowns make us reluctant to offer
positive comments again.
'When we respond in a negative
way, we haven’t been modest at all.
WeVe suggested that the person
lacks judgment or has poor taste,”
she said. “A more appropriate
response to a compliment is a simple
thank-you.”
But u* moat people, reacting to
compliment doesn’t come easily, so
Leonard and Anderson teach N.C.
State students basic techniques that
will help them be more comfortable
when giving and receiving compli
ments.
A good compliment is one that is
specific and can only apply to the
recipient. ,
"The specific compliment says
that we’re paying attention to the
person. Don’t just admire a friend’s
golf swing, tell him what you liked
swing, ^ou kept'^our °heai .
down and followed ‘ that
time. Have you been 1SF~ '
sons?”’
The tag line or question, "Have
yon been taking lessons?": makes
the feedback personal and gives
your friend an opportunity to re
spond without feeling obligated to
return the compliment, she said.
