This article describes a functional model of social competence involving a stimulus situation, a behavior, and a set of outcomes. Socially competent behaviors are assumed to be affected by functional capacity, social awareness, temperament, and learning history. Four outcomes are suggested as requirements for socially competent behaviors: behavioral, communicative, instrumental, and affective.
