Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between receiver apprehension(RA),an anxiety-related construct associated with inadequate information processing capability,and listening style in the context of the college classroom.Two of the four hypotheses tested indicate no relationship exists between the varibales.One hypothesis indicated a negative relationship between the varibales,and one hypothesis could not be tested due to insufficient data.Additional research needs to be conducted to determine if relationships do exist between these varibales.
