Results of a study with 64 female undergraduates show that Ss (communicators) were more likely to transmit bad news (p<. 005) and less likely to be concerned about what the recipient thought about them (p<. 025) if, from the communicator's perspective, the recipient believed that both she and the communicator would receive the bad news fate than if the recipient believed that only she would receive the bad news fate (electric shock in an experimental task). These results are consistent with a fear of negative evaluation hypothesis. A guilt hypothesis was not significantly supported. Although communicators who believed that they would not actually share the fate with the recipient felt significantly more guilty than communicators who believed that they would actually share the bad news fate, they did not transmit bad news significantly less.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
