“…Likewise, to the extent that formal peer interventions include training, it is useful to have evidence-based recommendations. The quality of peer relationships and interactions are essential to positive effects (Goldsmith & Brashers, 2008). …”

Peers may be important sources of coping assistance, but their impact can be better understood if we examine their influence across various contexts. Although social support studies focused on people living with HIV have examined peer support in various contexts, they do not comprehensively account for situations in which peer support might be provided. The specific aims of this study are to (a) describe the various forms and functions of peer support for people living with HIV and (b) validate the Dennis (2003) concept analysis of peer support within health contexts. Results indicate that peer support is a potentially important adjunct to clinical care for enhancing coping skills, thereby improving the psychosocial functioning of people living with HIV. It is important to (a) assess patient access to peer support, (b) provide opportunities for peer support in the clinical setting, and (c) enhance disclosure and support-seeking skills to facilitate this benefit.

“…Indeed, informed by the work of Dodge and Coie (1987), Valencic, Beatty, Rudd, Dobos, and Heisel (1998) suggested that reactive and proactive verbal aggressiveness constitute distinct factors. This proposal was more recently echoed by Wigley (2008Wigley ( , 2010.…”

Two Studies Examining the Error Theory Underlying the Measurement Model of the Verbal Aggressiveness Scale

Meta‐analysis indicates moderate correlations between the Verbal Aggressiveness Scale (VAS) and other self‐report measures but near‐zero correlations with behavioral measures. Accurately interpreting correlations between the VAS and other variables, however, requires an examination of the untested error theory underlying the measurement model for the VAS. In two separate studies, the results of single‐factor correlated uniqueness confirmatory factor analytic models revealed a pattern of significant error covariances indicating that VAS item scores are confounded by systematic error attributable to multiple unspecified latent effects. After pruning the item sets, we identified 4 items that were free of latent variable influences other than trait verbal aggressiveness. Implications for interpreting the verbal aggressiveness literature are discussed along with recommendations for revising the VAS.

“…Today, there certainly is an increased number of communication scholars intervening into discourses and studying those interventions (see, e.g., the essays in Hample, 2008; the studies in Frey, 2006;Frey & Carragee, 2007a). One impetus is the amount of grant funding now available for such research, as health communication scholars have well discovered.…”
