On conceptual, theoretical and empirical treatments of feedback in human communication: Fifteen years later

Earning Influence by Communicating Respect: Facework's Contributions to Effective Instructional Feedback

“…Much research has modeled how evaluative feedback is shared and processed (e.g., Booth-Butterfield, 1989;Frandsen & Millis, 1993;Lizzio & Wilson, 2008;Wanguri, 1995), as well as its roles in hearers' motivations, self-regulation, learning, and interaction choices (Book, 1985;Butler & Winne, 1995;Cusella, 1987;KerssenGriep et al, 2003KerssenGriep et al, , 2008Pintrich, 2003;Sabee & Wilson, 2005;Ziv, 1984). Although studies often show learners doing better when they attend to feedback (e.g., Butler & Winne, 1995;Smith & King, 2004), research reviews also demonstrate that FIs' effects on performance vary (e.g., Balzer, Doherty, & O'Connor, 1989).…”

What is feedback in clinical education?

“…24 Instead, they describe 1 or more characteristics of feedback such as its purpose, target, content, dimensions, type and source. Secondly, other writers do not specifically define feedback but refer to definitions of feedback from the literature 15,17 and discuss their limitations. 13,25,26 Thirdly, some define a derivative of feedback, for example feedback interventions 27 and 360-degree feedback.…”

“…The term ‘feedback’ is now used and interpreted in many different ways. There seems to be little consensus about its definition 10,11,13–17 …”

“…There seems to be little consensus about its definition. 10,11,[13][14][15][16][17] The aim of this report is to propose a research-based operational definition of feedback for learning situations in clinical education. To achieve this, we addressed 4 questions.…”

Translating scholarship into practice: Communication studies reflecting the value of theory‐based research to everyday life

“…O'Reilly and Anderson (1980) found that information, in the form of supervisor performance review feedback, increased an employee's trust in a supervisor. Similarly, Frandsen and Millis (1993) reviewed the functioning of feedback-process mechanisms. They stressed that the inclusion of such mechanisms improved information flow in complex organizational systems.…”
