Abstract

The effects of event type, sex of participant, and sex of target on comforting messages were examined. Comforting messages were more sensitive in response to major events than to daily events. Females generally comforted more sensitively than did males. Comforting messages directed toward females were more sensitive than messages directed toward males. Participants were shown to have overestimated the quality of their comforting responses.
