• Measuring Online Communication Attitude: Instrument Development and Validation (2009, background): “Wilson and Sabee (2003) argue that researchers should not consider communication competence a construct, or latent variable indicated by a stable set of manifest behaviors, but rather a theoretical term whose meaning differs across classes of communication theories.”
• The Relationships among Attachment Style, Personality Traits, Interpersonal Competency, and Facebook Use (2012, background): “…competency as consisting of “procedural knowledge at multiple levels of abstraction, including low-level knowledge,” as competent communicators coordinate these multiple levels of action smoothly within a well-timed performance in a given social interaction (Wilson & Sabee, 2003, p. 24).”
• “Guys Can't Say That to Guys”: Four Experiments Assessing the Normative Motivation Account for Deficiencies in the Emotional Support Provided by Men (2005, background): “However, contemporary models of communicative competence (for review, see Wilson & Sabee, 2003) emphasize that sophisticated messages are a function not only of underlying abilities (i.e., skills), but also of the motivation to exercise these abilities.”
