Communicators, in one of four groups based on their assertive and responsive behaviors, were investigated for differences in their interpersonal motives for communicating. Competent communicators (high assertive, high responsive) communicated from needs for affection, pleasure, and inclusion more than noncompetent (low assertive, low responsive), submissive (low assertive, high responsive) and aggressive (high assertive, low responsive) individuals. Aggressive types communicated more from control needs, while noncompetent communicators communicated from escape needs. Implications for future research are discussed.
