Some Facts Psychologists Know About...
SOCIAL SKILLS
Rewarding and enjoyable communication between people is one of the most important components of life. Throughout each day most people are exposed to a wide variety of interpersonal situations. On campus students interact with their peers, professors, coaches, and supervisors. In order to meet the needs of everyday living it is necessary to deal with bank tellers, cashiers at shops, the registrar, financial aide officers, doctors, and the mailperson. Skills that enhance developing and maintaining relationships are also important, as well as our more intimate relationships with significant others, partners, close friends, and family. In each of the aforementioned situations, adequate social skills make life easier.
