The main factors influencing the willingness to communicate

One of the most important factors that affects a person’s willingness to communicate are situational variables, such as how a person feels on that day, whether he knows the speaker or not, and how this person looks and presents himself in communication, what he can gain or lose in this communication, the demand of the time and the atmosphere of the conversation, etc. Based on this, one could say that the willingness to communicate mainly depends on the situation. Nevertheless, some researchers have noted permanent personality tendencies explaining why one person is ready to communicate under any circumstances, while the other is not.
