DOI: 10.24411/2470-1262-2020-00001

Abstract:

The research study focuses on persuasive communication and its incidence in the prevention of school adaptation difficulties. The authors worked with two groups of respondents: students of ninth grade and teachers. The aim was to determine the level of school adaptation of the students and the main difficulties they encountered at the beginning of high school; the level of persuasiveness of the teachers. Instruments used: AISS (Adjustment Inventory of School Students) Questionnaire (A.K.P. Sinha and R.P. Singh, 2004), “Adaptation versus Adaptation Difficulties” Questionnaire, so far unpublished (C. Adascalitei, 2019) and “Are you persuasive in communication?” Questionnaire (adapted after E. Ţărnă, 2017). The presented data are the result of the determined study regarding the correlation between persuasive communication and school adaptation.

Keywords: communication, persuasion, persuasive communication, adaptation, school adaptation difficulties
