Communication skills research focuses on understanding the various factors that contribute to effective communication, such as verbal and nonverbal cues, active listening, empathy, assertiveness, and the impact of technology on communication. Researchers in this field investigate how individuals can improve their communication skills, both in personal relationships and in professional settings, in order to enhance understanding, collaboration, and conflict resolution. Studies may also explore cultural differences in communication styles and how they can be navigated effectively. Overall, the goal of communication skills research is to help individuals communicate more effectively and build stronger, more meaningful connections with others.
