Expletives: Men Only?

De Klerk, Vivian

Communication Monographs, v58 n2 p156-69 Jun 1991

Examines the effects of sex, age, and type of school on expletive use in a sample of 160 adolescents. Fails to support stereotyped expectations of coy, nonswearing females, but supports the hypothesis that there is a relationship between social power and expletive usage. (RDS)
