Abstract
We investigated the relationship between communication apprehension and satisfaction for a sample of 504 persons. The analyses supported the expectation that apprehension and satisfaction would be related negatively. Apprehension in dyadic contexts and with friends related most strongly to dissatisfaction. We discussed the implications of these results with particular attention to chronic apprehensives.Keywords
