“… 3. Messages were similar to those used in multiple comforting studies (Burleson, Holmstrom, & Gilstrap, 2005; Burleson, Liu, Liu, & Mortenson, 2006). They were rated appropriately as low person-centered (LPC), moderate person-centered (MPC), or high person-centered (HPC) messages by two expert judges.…”

To test a recently proposed dual-process theory of supportive communication outcomes, participants (N = 328) assumed they had experienced a mildly or moderately problematic situation. They then evaluated supportive messages varying in person centeredness, purportedly provided by either an acquaintance or a friend. Participants' perceived support availability (PSA) was also assessed. As predicted, the recipient factor (PSA) individually and in conjunction with the contextual factor (problem severity) moderated the effect of the message factor (message person centeredness) on helpfulness evaluations. Modest support was observed for the hypothesis that the source factor (friend vs. acquaintance) influences evaluations when messages are processed less extensively. Implications for the dual-process theory of supportive communication outcomes are discussed.

“…Salient scholarship has explored the effects of sex, culture, and ethnicity in relation to emotional support skills, messages, goals, behaviors, and values during relationship development (e.g., Burleson, 2003;Burleson, Liu, Liu, & Mortenson, 2006;Xu & Burleson, 2001). Although relatively sparse, comforting communication has also been studied within organizational and team contexts (e.g., Ray, 1991Ray, , 1993Sass & Mattson, 1999;Zimmerman & Applegate, 1992).…”

This study examines the relationship between intercollegiate forensics competitors' organizational identification and organizational culture. Through a survey analysis of 314 intercollegiate forensics students, this study reports three major findings. First, this study found male competitors identify with forensics programs more than female competitors do. Second, this study found African-American competitors identify with their programs more than other ethnicities do. Third, the correlation between organizational identification and organizational cultural understanding is multidimensional with positive and negative correlations between organizational identification and different factors of organizational culture. The nature of forensics and team social support are discussed as reasons for student identification.

Purpose This study aimed to explore sex differences in the association between emotional support and self-rated health among the elderly. Design This was a cross-sectional survey based on the sub-project of China’s National Basic Public Health Service Project—Health Management Services for the Elderly. Setting Participants were recruited from ten rural townships in Jingyuan County, Gansu Province, Northwestern China. Subjects 1405 subjects aged 60 or above. Methods Emotional support (consisting of 5 items) and self-rated health (evaluated by EQ-VAS) were investigated in this study. Multiple linear regression was conducted to consider the potential relationship. Results The frequency of children visit and the number of providers of emotional support were positively associated with self-rated health among older women (β = 1.13, 95%CI = 0.25-2.02; β = 1.80, 95%CI = 1.01-2.58), whereas the number of close friends had a positive association with self-rated health among older men (β = 1.11, 95%CI = 0.20-2.01). The number of close relatives and the frequency of seeking emotional support were not found to be associated with self-rated health among both older men and older women. Conclusion The study has found that the relationship between emotional support and self-rated health was differed by sex, calling attention to the need for sex-specific interventions.
