Communication Competence
EditCommunication competence is the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately across different interpersonal, social, and cultural contexts. It involves the integration of communication knowledge, motivation, and skills, enabling individuals to convey and interpret messages, manage interactions, adapt their communication behaviors, and respond to the expectations of others [1][2]. Effectiveness concerns the extent to which communication achieves its intended goals, whereas appropriateness reflects its suitability to the norms, relationships, and circumstances of a particular interaction [1]. Communication competence is context-dependent and can be developed through experience, feedback, education, and deliberate practice [2][3].
