Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a healthy interpersonal relationship, both participants should be actively sending and receiving messages in order to maintain open and effective communication. This includes listening to each other and expressing oneself clearly. The other choices are not indicative of a healthy relationship - having one partner dominate the conversation is not fair or respectful, avoiding interactions with others is isolating, and using mediators to settle disagreements suggests a lack of direct communication and problem-solving skills.
