Annotation

This comparative study explores to what level Swedish (n = 103) and American (n = 113) college students' cultural background affects their communicative attributes, in particular their communication apprehension and willingness, self-perceived communication skills, in-class participation, and (motives for) out-of-class communication with their instructors.
