Uncertainty, Information-Seeking, and Liking during Initial Interaction.
Douglas, William
Western Journal of Speech Communication, v54 n1 p66-81 Win 1990
Examines interlocutors' uncertainty, information-seeking, and liking for each other during initial interaction. Finds that (1) uncertainty decayed across interaction segments; (2) uncertainty reduction was associated with decreased use of question-asking but with increased levels of disclosure; and (3) uncertainty and social attraction were inversely correlated.
