| Abstract | This study investigated the influence of perceived competence (PC) on communication dynamics and communication network structures among collegiate Taekwondo Poomsae athletes. Anchored in social network analysis (SNA), the study used Gephi, a network visualization software, to generate sociograms that visualized the communication patterns and interactions in both task- and relationship-oriented communication. Self-perceived competence and peer-rated competence were collected through online surveys. Centrality measures and network density were evaluated to assess key actors and the overall interconnectedness of both communication networks. Descriptive results showed high self-perceived competence scores (M = 4.50, SD = 0.21) compared to lower peer-rated competence scores (M = 3.72, SD = 0.44). Communication dynamics revealed high acceptance (M = 5.72, SD = 1.21) and low negative conflict (M = 2.30, SD = 1.04) with moderate levels of distinctiveness, positive conflict, co-rumination, and emotional support. Self-perceived competence was positively correlated with task and relationship communication network centrality measures: task indegree (r = 0.645), task outdegree (r = 0.662), relationship indegree (r = 0.671), and relationship outdegree (r = 0.706). Regression results showed PC significantly predicted centrality positions, explaining 41.6% to 49.8% of the variance. Sociogram analysis indicated that highly competent athletes were more central, while reciprocated emotional and personal advice ties were limited. The findings suggested that perceived competence influences athletes’ communication roles and information flow within the team. |
