포괄적 대인 의사소통 능력 척도개발 및 타당성 검증

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The main purpose of the current study was to develop a inclusive interpersonal communication competence scale which would tap diverse and critical sub-dimensions of interpersonal communication competence. Although so many scales or measures tapping the construct have been developed, most of them focused on a specific area or sub-construct such as empathy, self-disclosure, and immediacy. Administering so many lengthy scales simultaneously takes too much time and causes survey respondents' fatigues, which may affect the validity of the study. To develop a scale relatively short but reflecting all core aspects of the construct, based on previous studies, a total of IS sub-dimensions were identified. Out of each dimension, three statements were selected and created to form the scale. The best item from the statements then was chosen to form the final IS-items scale. The scale indicated a sufficient level of reliability. To check the concurrent and convergent validity other previously constructed scales such as the communicative competence scale, communication adaptability scale, and self-perceived communication competence scale were used. Results showed the scale had significant correlations with all other criterion-related scales, which suggests the validity of the scale. To make the scale more reliable and valid, some recommendations were discussed.
