meetreactiviteit

Meetreactiviteit, also known as the meeting reactivity scale, is a tool used to assess the reactivity of individuals during meetings. It was developed by Dr. Robert Cialdini and his colleagues at Arizona State University. The scale measures how easily individuals become reactive or defensive when confronted with criticism or disagreement during meetings.

The meetreactiviteit scale consists of 10 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." The items assess various aspects of reactivity, such as the tendency to become defensive, the likelihood of interrupting others, and the frequency of expressing negative emotions.

High meetreactiviteit scores indicate a greater tendency to become reactive during meetings. This can lead to less productive discussions, increased conflict, and a less positive meeting environment. Conversely, low meetreactiviteit scores suggest a more open and receptive approach to feedback and disagreement.

The meetreactiviteit scale has been used in various settings, including organizational meetings, team discussions, and educational workshops. It can help individuals and organizations identify areas for improvement in communication and conflict resolution. By understanding and managing reactivity, participants can foster more constructive and collaborative meetings.
