Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is In evaluating my communication competence in the context of an interpersonal relationship, I can see that I engage in a range of behaviors, including active listening, assertiveness, and nonverbal communication. I am able to choose the most appropriate behavior based on the specific situation and the needs of the other person. For example, if my friend is going through a tough time, I am able to show empathy and provide emotional support. On the other hand, if we are discussing a disagreement, I am able to assert my own perspective while still being respectful of their feelings.

In terms of my skill in performing certain behaviors, I believe that I am a good listener and am able to effectively express myself. However, I could improve my ability to manage conflict and navigate difficult conversations. I also perceive myself as having a high level of cognitive complexity, as I am able to consider multiple perspectives and understand the complexity of interpersonal dynamics.

In terms of empathy, I believe that I am able to understand and share the feelings of my friend, and I am able to demonstrate this through my actions and words. However, I could improve my self-monitoring in this relationship, as there are times when I may not be fully aware of how my behavior is impacting the other person.

In this relationship, my friend also exhibits a range of behaviors, including being a good listener and being assertive in expressing their needs. They are also empathetic and understanding. However, there are times when they may struggle with self-monitoring and may not always be aware of how their behavior is impacting me.

Overall, I am committed to this relationship and value open and effective communication. I am willing to adapt to the behaviors of my friend and work on improving my own communication skills in order to strengthen our relationship. I believe that by continuing to work on my communication competence, I can contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with my friend.
