- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference between 1st and 2nd year graduate social work students argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness. When these variables are used during interpersonal communication, there is a significant need for them to be identified through empirical research, and alternative forms of communication explored in order to enhance the professional and personal self of the social worker. To examine this purpose the researcher conducted an exploratory descriptive research design. A self administered 48-item questionnaire was given to 50 graduate social work students. A nonprobability convenience sample was used for this population. The null hypotheses of this study were rejected at the .05 level of significance. Results revealed that there was no statistical significant difference between 1st and 2nd year, male and female, graduate social work students argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness.
