👉 Noncoercion, also known as non-accusatory or neutral language, is a concept in communication theory that refers to the principle of not imposing any direct or indirect influence on another person's behavior. It implies that the speaker does not directly influence the listener by making statements or actions that could lead to harm or offense. Noncoercion is essential for effective communication because it ensures that both parties are aware of their rights and obligations, which can prevent misunderstandings and conflicts from arising.
