Considering the conceptual diversity of the field of Social Skills observed among different authors and in different works of the same author, this paper analyzed the definitions of social skills and social competence, based on the different works of Del Prette and Del Prette. Definitions of the concepts were selected from books and theoretical articles of those authors from 1996 to 2012, and comparisons were made in chronological order. Based on these analyses, important differences were observed in the definitions of social skills and social competence all over the works of the authors, which are product of revisions, additions, and improvements of conceptual, empirical and methodological knowledge that occurred over the time
