Advice Response Theory: Understanding Responses to Health Advice

Sample

No matter how good your life is, there are always hassles, stresses, and problems that arise…and decisions to be made about how to address them. For example, as a semester comes to an end, you might need to make plans for holiday travel, choose a place to live for the next semester or school year, find a job or internship, or decide whether to maintain a romantic relationship that will become long-distance. Although people can and do handle some of their problems and decisions independently, many also obtain advice on what to do from friends, family, and others in their social and professional networks.
