“…The instrument has been found to possess sufficient internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha for each of the four constructs: People (α = 0.678), Action (α = 0.662), Content (α = 0.612) and Time (α = 0.681). These are below the commonly accepted level of 0.80; however, as each construct consists of only four items this was considered good internal consistency and is similar to what has been reported elsewhere [17][18][19] . In test-retest, the LSP was found to be stable over a two-week period [17] .…”

“…Research suggests that most people have preference for a particular combination of styles. This preferred style is often related to habit rather than adopting the most appropriate style for the particular situation [17] . Awareness and concern for others' feelings characterises the 'People' style.…”

Objective: In nursing, where communication is crucial for collaboration with colleagues, informing and reassuring clients as well as advocating. Use of appropriate styles is fundamental. Consideration of nursing students' listening and communication styles is necessary to understand whether this area needs further enhancement in the curriculum. Yet, little information exists for nurse educators around this area. Methods:A cross-sectional study of Bachelor of Nursing students from one Australian university was conducted using paper-based versions of the Listening Styles Profile (LSP) and Communicator Style Measure (CSM). Findings revealed strong preference for 'People' listening style and 'Friendly' communicator style.Results: There were no significant differences between students across different stages of the course and only slight differences in preferences between genders. Preferences indicate appropriate communication for nursing, indicating underlying concern for the welfare of others. Conclusions:Results suggest that participants' education had no effect on their preferences and may provide some information for educators aiming to develop such skills. Longitudinal studies of these attributes into the graduate year are recommended.

“…Much research has been carried out about listening styles. One that has been used widely and even made it into the popular domain, is the Listening Styles Profile (LSP-16), developed by Watson, Barker and Weaver (1995). It is a sixteen-item inventory to assess four distinct approaches to receive information: people-, action-, content-, and time-oriented styles.…”
