Abstract
Rapport, an important factor in provider-patient communication and a key component of relational communication, has been inconsistently defined in the literature. Additionally, researchers have found it difficult to measure to its complex and often ambiguous nature. This project provides a conceptual and operational definition of rapport, as well, as identifies some of the measurable components of rapport.
