Modification of Question Asking Behavior in High and Low Assertive Women through Modeling and Specific Instructions.

Wallston, Barbara Strudler; And Others

Social Behavior and Personality, v6 n2 p195-204 1978

Tests effects of two interventions upon question-asking behavior. Both treatments decreased latency of asking the first question, but only specific instructions affected total number of bids for clarification. Women predisposed to be high in assertiveness were facilitated by any intervention. Shorter latencies were associated with more knowledge. (Author/BEF)
