AbstractThis study examined the relationship of high and low communication apprehension levels to multidimensional constructs of self-disclosure and disclosiveness. As expected, apprehension was found to be related primarily to the general disclosiveness of the individual and secondarily to reported self-disclosure levels. A fuller understanding of this relationship was provided by the expanded multivariate models. Additional informationNotes on contributorsLawrence R. WheelessLawrence R.
