Women Professors' Assertive-Empathic and Non-Assertive Communication in Sexual Harassment Situations

Pages 91-104 | Published online: 11 Nov 2010
 

Abstract

This study attempted to identify when, how and why women professors use assertive-empathic and non-assertive communication in sexual harassment situations with other faculty members. Of thirty women professors interviewed, only a few reported using assertive-empathic communication; most women relied on non-assertive communication. Reasons for using assertive-empathic and non-assertive communication were based largely on instrumental, relational, or self-identity communication goals.
