The Normative Context of Advice as Social Support.
Goldsmith, Daena J.; Fitch, Kristine
Human Communication Research, v23 n4 p454-76 Jun 1997
Documents the multiple goals and implications of advice among white, middle-class, college students. Identifies three dilemmas of seeking, receiving, and giving advice: (1) advice may be seen as helpful or as "butting-in"; (2) advice may be experienced as honest or supportive; and (3) seeking and taking advice may enact respect and gratitude.
