Abstract
The study examined the effects of interpersonal perspective, as measured by Edwards' [1973] Situational Preference Inventory, upon certain noncontent communicative behaviors, specifically, unwillingness‐to‐communicate, predisposition toward verbal behavior, and disclosiveness. Significant differences were obtained among persons with analytic, cooperational, and instrumental perspectives on a linear combination of (1) predisposition toward verbal behavior; (2) depth of disclosure, and (3) honesty/accuracy of disclosure.
