Abstract
This study explored the extent to which cultural variables, specifically religious identity and individualism/collectivism, related to communicative traits in France. Communication apprehension (CA), self-perceived communication competence (SPCC), and willingness to communicate (WTC) were examined among self-identified Catholics and Muslims (n=533). Correlation analysis revealed that CA is negatively correlated with both SPCC and WTC, whereas SPCC and WTC are positively correlated. Regression analyses revealed that Muslims have higher levels of CA and Catholics have higher levels of SPCC. Additionally, higher levels of collectivism are related to higher levels of CA and to lower levels of SPCC and WTC, while higher levels of individualism are related to lower levels of CA.
