The Effect of Self-Imposed Brevity on the Structure of Dyadic Communication.

And Others; Ford, W. Randolph

Journal of Psychology, v104 p87-103 Jan 1980

Subjects asked to be brief tended to use messages concerned with the exchange of information more than messages dealing with rate of communication, judgments, and feedback. These subjects also used higher percentages of nouns and adjectives and lower percentages of pronouns, verbs, prepositions, and articles than unrestricted subjects. (Author/RL)
