Social Consequences of Apologetic, Assertive, and Aggressive Requests.
McCampbell, Elizabeth; Ruback, R. Barry
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v32 n1 p68-73 Jan 1985
Examined the behavioral reactions to and perceptions of assertive, apologetic, and aggressive requests. Subjects (N=60) were involved in situations where compliance with requests involved high or low sacrifice. Increasing sacrifice for the subject decreased the request's effectiveness, in that fewer subjects complied with it, regardless of the request style. (BH)
