The current investigation argues that both functions are based in a person's values, with the social-adjustive function being a specific form of a value-expressive attitude. Contemporary approaches to this theory have argued that these attitude functions can be inferred from scores on the self-monitoring scale, thus eliminating the need to measure the values underlying these functions. The current investigation argues that the success of studies using the self-monitoring scale to infer these functions should be due to the covariance of the other-directedness dimension of the scale with the values underlying those attitudes. Overall, the findings of the investigation indicate that the formation of these functional attitudes depends more on the match between the value-content of the persuasive messages and the extent to which the message recipients hold those values than their level of other-directedness. Other-directedness did not covary with the values that underlie value-expressive and social-adjustive attitudes, but did aid in the reception of the social-adjustive message. Thus, the research using the self-monitoring scale to infer functions cannot be fully reconciled with the conceptualizations of value-expressive and social-adjustive attitudes.}, number={2}, journal={COMMUNICATION MONOGRAPHS}, author={Hullett, CR and Boster, FJ}, year={2001}, month={Jun}, pages={133–153} }

Five primary conclusions are drawn from the data: (a) Caregivers value providing affective over instrumental support; (b) caregivers believe they place more importance on supportive communication than their organizations; (c) role conflict is emotionally exhausting, but does not affect caregivers' self-evaluations or perceptions of residents; (d) caregivers' depersonalization of patients is related to their desire to communicate instrumental support; and (e) caregivers feel more accomplished when they believe their organization values supportive communication with patients. The implications of these findings for social support, caregivers' burnout, and nursing homes are discussed.}, number={3}, journal={HEALTH COMMUNICATION}, author={Hullett, CR and McMillan, JJ and Rogan, RG}, year={2000}, pages={277–299} }
