Abstract

ABSTRACT Extending work on the everyday communication practices through which relationships are constituted, we examined the micro–moments of food service and the provision of social support in field recordings of everyday family life. We found that frequently when communicators serve themselves an item at the dinner table they offer that item to others, even when there is no indication that the other needs it. We revealed specific communication practices through which social support is implemented when offering food to others during self–service, indicating that in delivering tangible social support one may also provide emotional social support. Additionally, we showed that precisely where the offer is produced during self–service further impacts the relational implications of this support.

社会支持的微观时刻：家庭餐桌上的自助服务

扩展日常沟通实践的工作，通过这些交流实践构成关系，我们研究了日常家庭生活现场记录中食品服务和社会支持的微时刻。我们发现，当沟通者在餐桌上给自己端上一件东西时，他们经常会把那件东西给别人，即使没有迹象表明别人需要它。我们揭示了在自助服务过程中为他人提供食物时实施社会支持的具体沟通实践，表明在提供有形的社会支持时，人们也可以提供情感上的社会支持。此外，我们还展示了在自助服务期间提供服务的准确位置会进一步影响此支持的关系含义。
