The sibling relationship is an involuntary one that individuals often maintain throughout life (V. G. Cicirelli, 1995; M. A. Fitzpatrick & D. M. Badzinski, 1994; P. Noller & M. A. Fitzpatrick, 1993). The authors investigated interpersonal communication motives in sibling relationships to examine the way in which siblings voluntarily maintain their relationships with one another over time. R. B. Rubin, E. M. Perse, and C. A. Barbato (1988) identified 6 primary motives that people have for communicating: affection, control, escape, inclusion, pleasure, and relaxation. Participants were 323 individuals who reported on why they communicated with 1 of their siblings. The authors found differences between male and females participants and between intact and nonintact families. The number of siblings and the birth order of siblings also appeared to affect motives for communicating. The authors discuss the implications and limitations.

“…The current research stems from interest in two areas of interpersonal communication claimed to be central for positive relational outcomes, these being assertiveness and empathic responsiveness (Anderson & Martin, 1995;McCroskey & Richmond, 1996;Richmond & McCroskey, 1990). McCroskey and Richmond (1996) developed concepts and measures of BIG-5 TRAITS, ASSERTIVENESS AND LISTENING 5 socio-communicative orientation and socio-communicative style to reflect individual differences in what they claimed were genetically based cognitive components of general communication competence.…”

“…Concepts shown to be important to information seeking can be grouped into 3 areas: factors related to the source of information, such as source credibility [3][4][5][6][7] ; factors regarding the message itself, such as the clarity or ambiguity of the argument or information; and characteristics of the individual seeking the information, such as perceived task importance. 4,8,9 Few studies comprehensively examine patient approaches to HISB and diabetes self-management.…”

PURPOSE Diabetes self-management is essential for diabetes control, yet little is known about patient preferences for sources of health information or about the extent to which information is sought directly or received passively through various media sources. The aim of this qualitative study was to identify how individuals with diabetes seek and use health care information. METHODSUsing a health information model to guide our research, we conducted 9 focus groups with 46 adults with a diagnosis of diabetes and then analyzed the transcripts and notes from these focus groups.RESULTS Five themes emerged: (1) passive receipt of health information about diabetes is an important aspect of health information behavior; (2) patients weave their own information web depending on their disease trajectory; (3) patients' personal relationships help them understand and use this information; (4) a relationship with a health care professional is needed to cope with complicated and sometimes confl icting information; and (5) health literacy makes a difference in patients' ability to understand and use information.CONCLUSIONS Patients make decisions about diabetes self-management depending on their current needs, seeking and incorporating diverse information sources not traditionally viewed as providing health information. Based on our fi ndings, we have developed a new health information model that refl ects both the nonlinear nature of health information-seeking behavior and the interplay of both active information seeking and passive receipt of information.
