Communication context encompasses the circumstances and conditions in which communication takes place and through which messages are produced, conveyed, interpreted, and understood. It includes physical and situational features, the relationships between communicators, and broader social, cultural, psychological, and temporal factors [1][2]. These elements influence how individuals select communication strategies, assign meaning to verbal and nonverbal cues, and interpret the intentions of others. Communication context is therefore not merely the setting in which an interaction occurs; it is an integral part of the communication process. Its influence can extend from individual interactions to wider social and media environments [3,4].
