Kubany, Edward S.; And Others
Adolescence, v27 n107 p505-16 Fall 1992
Investigated communications of negative feelings between adolescents in close relationships. Twenty high school students imagined discussing relationship problem with close partner and rated likely reactions to assertively expressed distress, assertively expressed anger, aggressively expressed distress, and aggressively expressed anger. Accusatory "you" statements were rated as more aversive and evoked stronger antagonistic response inclinations than assertive "I" statements. (Author/NB)
