Direct and Mediated Effects of Perceived Father Criticism and Sarcasm on Females' Perceptions of Relational Partners' Disconfirming Behavior.
Beatty, Michael J.; Dobos, Jean A.
Communication Quarterly, v41 n2 p187-97 Spr 1993
Finds that adult males' perceptions of criticism and sarcasm from their fathers significantly and independently contributed to males' perceived confirmation from their fathers. Shows that a causal model using these three variables to predict females' reports of males' relational communication accounted for a significant percentage of variance in their disconfirmation behavior.
