Listening and Communication Competence |
 |
 |
Confident individuals listen to message content better than individuals who lack confidence (Clark, 1989).
People with less confidence in themselves tend to be better listeners for the emotional meaning of the spoken message (Clark, 1989).
Being more willing to communicate and less apprehensive about listening and speaking is an indicator of better listening comprehension (Clark, 1989).

Spoken words only account for 30 -35% of the meaning. The rest is transmitted through nonverbal communication that only can be detected through visual and auditory listening (Birdwhistell, 1970). |

On average, viewers who just watched and listened to the evening news could only recall 17.2% of the content when not cued, and the cued group never exceeded 25% (Stauffer, Frost, & Rybolt, 1983).
