Agency, Communion, and Gender as Predictors of Communication Style and Being Liked in Adult Male-Female Dyads.

Leaper, Campbell

Sex Roles, v16 n3-4 p137-49 Feb 1987

Self-perceived agency was significantly associated with verbal assertiveness: high-agency persons used fewer indirect statements and fewer passive self-references than low-agency persons.
