College Students’ Use of Energy Drinks, Social Problem-Solving, and Academic Performance
Energy drink (ED) use among college students to improve academic performance (AP) has skyrocketed. A growing body of literature indicates that the risks associated with ED use may outweigh the perceived benefits. In this study, 486 undergraduates were surveyed on their general substance and ED usage, Social Problem-Solving (SPS) ability, and AP. It was hypothesized that: (1) ED use would be a negative predictor of AP; (2) SPS would be a positive …
Do We Need to Put God into Emotional Support
The current study explored whether ethnicity influences young adults’ evaluations of two different sets of comforting messages: those in which concepts such as God, prayer, religion, and faith are woven into low, moderate, and high person-centered strategies (called “religious strategies”) and those in which such concepts are not embedded (called “non-religious strategies”) into the messages. One hundred ninety-seven college students (63% African…

Ethnicity and emotional support in same‐sex friendship
Emotional support is a central feature around which white, middle‐class adults organize their same‐sex friendships. The purpose of this study was to examine whether emotional support is accorded the same significance in the friendships of Asian‐ and African‐Americans. Participants included 199 students (60 Euro‐American men and women, 80 Asian‐American men and women, and 59 African‐American men and women) attending either a state or private unive…
Men's and Women's Evaluations of Communication Skills in Personal Relationships
Much recent research on gender and communication has emphasized differences in men's and women's communicative conduct, with some theorists going so far as to claim that men and women constitute different cultures. However, comparatively little research has assessed both similarities and differences in men and women's communication to determine whether the sexes are more alike or different. The present paper provides such assessments with respect…
Are There Gender Differences in the Relationship Between Academic Performance and Social Behavior
A growing body of research suggests that peer-related communication skills and experiences may facilitate academic achievement, especially in the college environment. However, there is substantial evidence that men and women differ in peer-related interaction skills and patterns, suggesting that there may be gender differences in the relationship between academic performance and interaction with peers. Thus far, only one study has systematically …
Behavioral Complexity Is in the Eye of the Beholder Effects of Cognitive Complexity and Message Complexity on Impressions of the Source of Comforting Messages
Recent theorizing suggests that exposure to sophisticated or behaviorally complex messages (i.e., messages that reflect a concern with multiple goals) may enhance the cognitiue development of message recipients. Reasoning that persons attempt to accommodate their cognitive structuring of an environment to the level of complexity in that environment, it was hypothesized that persons exposed to behaviorally complex messages would form more differen…
Consistencies in theoretical and naive evaluations of comforting messages
Assesses the extent to which naive actors' perceptions of comforting strategy correspond with the formal analysis of comforting strategy sophistication embedded in the constructivist hierarchical coding scheme. Concerns that motivate interest in how actors evaluate different comforting strategies; Methodological implications associated with the study; Background on the constructivist hierarchical coding systems

Decision-Making Procedure and Decision Quality
Although communication scholars usually have assumed that social interaction is intrinsic to the process of producing good group decisions, some writers have argued that social interaction actually may harm the quality of group decisions. Consequently, several noninteractive group decision-making procedures have been proposed; among these are the staticized group procedure and the nominal group procedure. While some research suggests the effectiv…
