Abstract
This study investigated the influence of parental and peer modeling on the development of elementary communication apprehension. In Phase 7 scales were developed to measure parental and peer modeling. In Phase 2 elementary and junior high school students (N = 1614) responded to measures of elementary communication apprehension, parental modeling, and peer modeling. Each participant took a packet home to their parents which included measures of communication apprehension and spousal communication apprehension. Results indicated a significant relationship between parental modeling and elementary communication apprehension but no significant relationship between elementary communication apprehension and parents’ communication apprehension or spousal communication apprehension.Keywords
