Descripción
Sumario:This study addresses the relationships between communication styles of university students, their connectedness to university life and psychosocial adjustment. Ten communication styles were analysed in order to predict students' relatedness to university and their influence on the level of anxiety, dysthymic disorder, and alcohol and substance dependence. A questionnaire was given to a representative sample of 529 college students. Results show gender differences in some communication styles but not with respect to university connectedness. There were also statistically significant relationships, although not very high, between certain communication styles and students' ability to connect with university. Both communication styles and connectedness contribute to the explanation of affective disorders, but only the contentious and friendly communication styles contribute to explain substance abuse.
