Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost everything that matters to humans is derived from and through communication. Just because people communicate every day, however, does not mean that they are communicating competently. In fact, evidence indicates that there is a substantial need for better interpersonal skills among a significant proportion of the populace. Furthermore, "dark side" experiences in everyday life abound, and features of modern society pose new challenges that make the concept of communication competence increasingly complex. The Handbook of Communication Competence brings together scholars from across the globe to examine these various facets of communication competence, including its history, its essential components, and its applications in interpersonal, group, institutional, and societal contexts. The book provides a state-of-the-art review for scholars and graduate students, as well as practitioners in counseling, developmental, health care, educational, intercultural, and human resource management contexts, illustrating that communication competence is vital to health, relationships, and all collective human endeavors.

Download or read book Competence in Communication written by Robert N. Bostrom and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bostrom's book avoids a narrow view of competence (solely in terms of interpersonal communication) and attempts to draw models of competence that are applicable to communication in general. Scholars from journalism, mass communication, organizational communication, and communication education examine the concept of competence in terms of their own discipline: a competent journalist may be quite different from a competent bargainer. At the core of the concept are certain fundamental assumptions about competence in linguistic and verbal skill, interactional patterns, interpersonal awareness, and the ability to observe variations in that competence. The book presents theoretical approaches to competence: its development, definitions, and the relationship between communication competence and other competencies; it also discusses the arenas in which competence is a key factor in communication, and tries to extract basic principles from the various approaches.
Download or read book Communicating Science Effectively written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and technology are embedded in virtually every aspect of modern life. As a result, people face an increasing need to integrate information from science with their personal values and other considerations as they make important life decisions about medical care, the safety of foods, what to do about climate change, and many other issues. Communicating science effectively, however, is a complex task and an acquired skill. Moreover, the approaches to communicating science that will be most effective for specific audiences and circumstances are not obvious. Fortunately, there is an expanding science base from diverse disciplines that can support science communicators in making these determinations. Communicating Science Effectively offers a research agenda for science communicators and researchers seeking to apply this research and fill gaps in knowledge about how to communicate effectively about science, focusing in particular on issues that are contentious in the public sphere. To inform this research agenda, this publication identifies important influences â€" psychological, economic, political, social, cultural, and media-related â€" on how science related to such issues is understood, perceived, and used.
