When there are deficiencies in these abilities, alterations in the social relationships that the person has can be generated, reaching in some cases even psychopathological disorders. Training in social skills is an option that has been effective for the treatment of various situations; for example, in psychopathologies such as social anxiety or schizophrenia, to generate the ability to resolve interpersonal conflicts, strengthen socialization.

Lack of systematic emphasis on motivational considerations is discussed as a major reason for limited generalization and maintenance of skills learned in social-skills training programs. In this connection, motivation is explored as a primary focus of interventions designed to help individuals overcome interpersonal problems. Specifically, it is suggested that strategies to improve skills for interpersonal functioning are best accomplished in interaction with systematic strategies to enhance motivation for avoiding and overcoming interpersonal problems.

Criteria used to evaluate socially competent behavior of women are described and critiqued. Many definitions of social competence do not employ a process view of social behavior in which individual goals and values as well as specific verbal and nonverbal behaviors are considered. This may result in the imposition of artificial goals on consumers of assertion and social skills training programs and the neglect of individual goals. The relationship between the definition of competence used and the assessment methods relied on is discussed. The advantages of focusing on specific goals are noted and a checklist that consumers can use to review the content of training programs is provided.
