Explaining the Relationships among Supportive Message Quality, Evaluations, and Outcomes: A Dual-Process Approach (2012, background): “Although assessing message evaluations is generally much easier, safer, and cheaper in studies of supportive communication than is assessing outcomes such as affect improvement, the latter are generally of greatest interest (Jones & Wirtz, 2006).”
“You Need to Stop Talking About This!”: Verbal Rumination and the Costs of Social Support (2013, background): “Support that is more person-centered has been associated with greater emotional improvement compared to lower person-centered messages and could provide a more hopeful interpretation of stressful situations (Jones, 2004; Jones & Guerrero, 2001; Jones & Wirtz, 2006) and reduce rumination.”
Psychological, Relational, and Emotional Effects of Self-Disclosure After Conversations With a Chatbot (2018, background): “…on the work of communication scholars who have either focused on resulting perceptions but not bene ﬁ cial outcomes of disclosure (Birnbaum et al., 2016; Gong & Nass, 2007) or on bene ﬁ cial outcomes when the listener is always human, but not when the listener is a computer (Jones & Wirtz, 2006).”
Emotion in Teaching and Learning: Development and Validation of the Classroom Emotions Scale (2010, background): “Jones and Wirtz (2006) also observed the positive effects of nonverbal immediacy on people’s perceived emotional improvement in controlled laboratory situations.”
Listening and Human Communication in the 21st Century (2011, result): “Evidence can be found, however, in research conducted by Suzanne Jones and her colleagues (Jones, 2004; Jones and Guerrero, 2001; Jones and Wirtz, 2006).”
The Role of “Active Listening” in Informal Helping Conversations: Impact on Perceptions of Listener Helpfulness, Sensitivity, and Supportiveness and Discloser Emotional Improvement (2015, background): “…(MacGeorge et al., 2011), and there is mounting evidence that specific behaviors have reliable impacts on important outcomes including individual and relational health and well-being (Bodie, 2012; Jones & Guerrero, 2001; Jones & Wirtz, 2006; Lepore, Ragan, & Jones, 2000; Priem & Solomon, 2009).”
Explaining Variations in the Effects of Supportive Messages A Dual-Process Framework (2008, background): “HPC comforting messages and other beneficial forms of support are more likely than their unhelpful counterparts to facilitate a cognitive reappraisal of the problematic situation (Jones & Wirtz, 2006).”
A Review and Meta-Analysis of Person-Centered Messages and Social Support Outcomes (2012, background): “We excluded four seemingly relevant studies from our meta-analysis (i.e., Burleson, 2008 Study 1; Bodie et al., 2009 Study 2; Burleson, Holmstrom, & Gilstrap, 2005; Jones & Wirtz, 2006) because they analyzed data that were published or reported elsewhere.”
Development and Validation of the Student Interest and Engagement Scales (2012, background): “Jones and Wirtz (2006 ) also observed the positive effects of nonverbal immediacy on people's perceived emotional improvement in controlled laboratory situations.”
