The Influence of Responsibility for Stigma, Coping Effort, and Message Visibility on Online Observers’ Emotions and Verbal Person-Centered Responses
Online social network members provide more varied and impartial support within a reduced-risk environment; however, not all online observers react favorably when viewing a support-seeking message. Grounded in the attribution-emotion-action model, this study examines how responsibility for stigma, coping effort, and message visibility influence observers’ emotions and verbal person-centered responses when viewing a support-seeking message on Faceb…
Can emojis replace the embrace? Evidence from an experiment
Through a 10-condition experiment, participants imagined their grandmother died and then imagined receiving either a hug from a project partner or a text message containing varying frequencies of hug emojis (up to 20). Between 1–5 hug emojis provided similar levels of support quality as a real hug, while sending 20 hug emojis offered the lowest support quality, and was rated the least appropriate response. The average number of emojis participant…
Examining the Attributional Links Between Message Quality and Outcomes of Emotional Support Received on Facebook
Facebook users can receive high quality emotional support in response to their posts, but not all emotional support is of the same quality nor does it all benefit support receivers. Receivers’ perceptions of supportive messages influence the outcomes they experience. This study assessed support receivers’ attributions for the helpful support offered to them on Facebook to understand how their perceptions of the causes of that support may explain …
“Thank you for being there for me”
The current study investigates how channel publicness and the expression of gratitude in support-seeking messages on social network sites shape support providers’ impressions of a support seeker and likelihood to offer help. Participants (N = 255) completed an online survey in which they were randomly assigned to view one of the eight hypothetical support-seeking messages that varied according to the publicness of the channel, expression of grati…
Seeking Support Online
The affordances of online channels can influence communication, and communicators sometimes value affordances differently in different relationships. This study examines how two affordances, anonymity and visibility, combine with relationship closeness to shape how people seek support online. Participants ( N = 171) composed a support-seeking message they imagined sending to various audiences in one of several online channels. Participants and ou…
Family communication patterns, mediated communication, and well-being
This study investigated how technology use, as understood through the communication interdependence perspective (CIP) and family communication patterns (FCPs), influence well-being in parent-adult child relationships. We proposed a model in which beliefs and attitudes about family communication shape adult children's interdependent use of multiple modes of communication with a parent, which in turn impact their loneliness, psychological well-bein…
Illness-related partner communication predicts better health, Covid, and social-contextual outcomes amid the Covid-19 pandemic
In this longitudinal study of students with concealable chronic health conditions (CCHCs), we applied components of interpersonal disclosure process models to investigate how illness disclosures and perceived partner responsiveness conferred health and social benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students with CCHCs and in relationships completed online surveys at the beginning, middle, and end of the academic year in which they returned to camp…
Online daters' reactions to sexually explicit initiation messages
This study used expectancy violations theory and uses and gratifications theory to conduct an experiment investigating how the content of relationship initiation messages, recipients' gender, and recipients' motives for using online dating applications shape whether and how the initiation message violates recipients' expectations. Participants ( N = 275) were recruited through an emergent adult population at a large Midwestern university and iden…
Online support-seeking in the context of grief
Indirect effects of video chat on outcomes of receiving support
This study integrates theorizing about supportive communication and computer-mediated communication to investigate how features of the interactional context, social presence, and evaluations of supportive messages shape recipients’ emotional improvement. Participants (N = 139) reported to the lab with a friend, where they were randomly assigned to experimental conditions that varied the lighting quality of the physical setting and screen size of …
Broadcasting for help
Social network sites are desirable media through which to seek supportive communication, and users can signal a need for assistance to large, diverse pools of potential support providers with a single message. According to social information processing theory, support seekers adapt to the lack of nonverbal cues online by leveraging the verbal elements of messages. This study classifies the variety of verbal strategies that Facebook users employ t…
Receiving supportive communication from Facebook friends
This study distinguishes perceptions of, preferences for, and outcomes related to people's social ties online. It expands understanding of when and why using social network sites (SNSs) provides people with several types of supportive communication by integrating users' social capital and preference for weak tie support. Prior research is synthesized and extended to build a heuristic model of social ties and supportive communication in SNSs that …
You Shouldn't Use Facebook for That
Facebook users who choose to seek emotional support publicly via Facebook Timeline posts must balance their needs for emotional comfort with norms for appropriate behavior within the Facebook context. Although Facebook promotes access to diverse social contacts who could serve as emotional support providers, the norms of Facebook use often prevent users from explicitly and directly venting their affect and requesting emotional support. A communit…
