Jesse Delia believes that there is a crucial behind-the-eyes difference in people who are inter-personally effective. His theory of constructivism offers a cognitive explanation for communication competence.
Delia is the former chair of the department of speech communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and now serves as the executive director of international research relations at the school. Along with a network of constructivist researchers, he uses Walter Crockett’s open-ended Role Category Questionnaire (RCQ) to help us “get inside our head.” So that you fully understand the theory and what it says about your communication, take 10 minutes to respond to the RCQ before you become sensitized to what the survey is measuring.
