Abstract

Since its inception, advice response theory (ART) has generated considerable research on informational support. Because empirical support for the theory is not uniform, we conducted a series of meta-analyses to synthesize existing evidence and evaluate theoretical claims. Consistent with ART, advice message features were positively associated with advice outcomes; however, the associations between provider characteristics and advice outcomes received qualified support. Study artifacts moderated several bivariate associations. Message content influenced implementation intention more strongly than on the other two advice outcomes, whereas provider characteristics and politeness had a greater impact on evaluation of advice quality and facilitation of coping. Finally, we tested the conventional source-message-outcome model of ART and four theoretically-derived alternative models with meta-analytic data. Results suggested neither provider characteristics nor message features are uniformly more proximal causes of variations in the outcomes. Implications for future studies and potential refinements to ART are discussed.

建议回应理论：一项元分析回顾

咨询反应理论（ART）自提出以来，已经产生了大量关于信息支持的研究。由于对该理论的实证支持并不统一，我们进行了一系列的荟萃分析来综合现有证据并评估理论主张。与抗逆转录病毒疗法一致，建议信息特征与建议结果呈正相关；然而，提供者特征和咨询结果之间的关联得到了合格的支持。研究工件调节了几个双变量关联。信息内容对实施意向的影响比对其他两种建议结果的影响更大，而提供者特征和礼貌对建议质量评价和应对便利性的影响更大。最后，我们用元分析数据检验了传统的ART源-消息-结果模型和四种理论推导的替代模型。结果表明，提供者特征和消息特征都不是导致结果变化的最接近原因。讨论了未来研究的意义和对ART的潜在改进。

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
