Abstract

Abstract Communication traits have been found to explain much of a person's communication behavior. Verbal aggressiveness is one of two aggressive communication traits which influence people's behavior when engaged in interpersonal conflict. Verbal aggressiveness is the predisposition to attack the self‐concept of another person in order to inflict psychological pain, hurt, and embarrassment. The consequences of trait verbal aggressiveness and the use of verbally aggressive messages have been found to result in negative outcomes in a variety of interpersonal communication contexts including family, dating, marital, and instructional. As such, verbal aggressiveness is considered a destructive communication trait.
