“…Several studies have attempted to identify various dimensions of communication competence that are important in specific contexts, such as the ability to communicate with empathy (Carkhuff, 1969;Fine & Therrien, 1977;Rogers, 1961), use non-judgemental listening (Cline, 1983;Gibb, 1961;Ruben Kealy 1979), demonstrate interpersonal respect (Rogers, 1961;Ruben Kealy 1979), display informational congruence between message intended and message received (Powers & Lowry, 1984), and manage interactions (Ruben, 1979;Wiemann, 1977). By integrating research findings from communication competence research with data concerning relational aspects of health communication, interpersonal health communication competencies can be identified.…”

In this chapter we set out to provide an epistemological overview of the world of communication competence research. We start by examining the notion of "competence" as it has weaved in and out of the writings about communication starting with Grecian ideas and ending with postmodern critical perspectives on the topic. We then attempt to explore the various ways modern scholars have attempted to define and explain what "communication competence" is and how it can be studied. Then using Cone's (1978) Behavioral Assessment Grid we outline a variety of different issues related to the study of communication competence. Lastly, we explore some issues regarding the selection and utilization of appropriate measures of communication competence within modern research endeavors.

“…BCF is defined as "the degree of congruence between the cognitions (mental images) of two or more individuals following a communication event" (p. 57). The original body of BCF work focused upon measuring the capabilities of only the source of a communication effort and exploring perceptual distinctions purely as a function of the skills of the source (Powers & Lowry, 1984a,b;Powers & Spitzberg, 1986;and Powers & Love, 1989). The BCF measurement procedure recognized the significant impact of receiver listening skills and controlled for that by using the average receiver score as the indicant of source BCF.…”
