Abstract

This study examined the relationship between communication apprehension and power strategy use in marriage. Data were collected from 42 non‐student married couples and were analyzed using the couple as the unit of analysis. ANOVA showed that one‐sided, noninteractive indirect‐unilateral power strategies were more likely to be used by couples in which both spouses expressed a high level of spouse communication apprehension than by couples in which both spouses were less apprehensive in communicating with their partners. The results have produced evidence that communication apprehension is a significant variable that has an impact on marital communication and interaction.
