Question

In order for communication to be considered competent, what are the two dimensions that

must be taken into account? Please give me an example

Answer 1

Interpersonal communication includes two dimensions: the explicit content dimension and the relational dimension that conveys meaning tied to the affective state of the interlocutors and their relationship. To summarize: The content dimension corresponds to what is said or expressed. For example, a competent communicator will engage in turn taking when in conversations instead of interrupting. A competent communicator would know when it is appropriate to ask questions to further the conversation, and read nonverbal cues/feedback from the receiver to know when the conversation is over.
