• The Role of “Active Listening” in Informal Helping Conversations: Impact on Perceptions of Listener Helpfulness, Sensitivity, and Supportiveness and Discloser Emotional Improvement (2015, background): “Acknowledgement has been recognized as a desired macrolevel listening process in close relationships (Pecchioni & Halone, 2000); having a listener who can ‘‘get the meaning’’ or otherwise ‘‘summarize key points,’’ thus reflects relational loyalty and assurance (Bodie, 2011).”
• The Relative Effectiveness of Active Listening in Initial Interactions (2014, background): “Gearhart and Bodie (2011) found higher scores on the Active Empathic Listening scale (AEL) associate positively with Riggio’s (2005) measures of social sensitivity, social expression, emotional sensitivity, and social control, all of which are related to a host of positive interaction and…”
• Active-Empathic Listening as a General Social Skill: Evidence from Bivariate and Canonical Correlations (2011, methodology): “…consistency estimates were obtained for the total scale and each subscale (see diagonal in Table 2) and are in line with previous administrations of the AEL scale: .73< a< .85 sensing, .66< a< .77 processing, .77< a< .89 responding, and .86< a< .94 total (Bodie, 2011b; Drollinger et al., 2006).”
• Listening Competence in Initial Interactions I: Distinguishing Between What Listening Is and What Listeners Do (2012, background): “Likewise, abilities as diverse as interaction involvement and conversational sensitivity likely share much in common with listening yet their conceptual similarity is only beginning to be investigated (Bodie, 2011, in press).”
