Abstract | Defining "willingness to communicate" as the degree to which an individual will talk to others in various situations, a study was conducted to test the hypothesis that a linear composite of the dimensions of communication apprehension and willingness to communicate is significantly related to a linear composite of the dimensions of communication competence. Approximately 300 undergraduate students completed three survey instruments that measured (1) willingness to communicate; (2) communication apprehension; and (3) communication competence. Data were analyzed using canonical correlation analysis and the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. Results supported the hypothesis. A relationship appeared to exist between communication apprehension, willingness to communicate, and perceptions of interpersonal communication competence. Most of the weight for those relationships, however, fell with dyadic and group apprehension. Willingness to communicate appeared to have an effect, but the effect was not large. (Copies of the three survey instruments, tables of data, and 30 references are appended.) (FL) |
