Etcetera principle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Etcetera principle describes the behavior pattern of people in which they accept the lack of or lack of clarity of information when receiving messages without asking, in the expectation that open questions can be clarified in the course of communication. The term is common in ethnomethodology and was coined by the founder of this science, Harold Garfinkel .
