African American Women's Language Use in Response to Male Partners' Condom Negotiation Tactics.

African American women are vulnerable for sexual health risk; thus, condom use is essential. Guided by research linking goals to communicative content, this study explored women's use of I-, you-, we-, and hedging language during condom negotiation. Female participants ( = 193) engaged in a condom negotiation role play with male confederates, where language use measures were coded.
