Microaffirmation defines everyday communication that shows appreciation, encouragement, or validation (Ellis et al., 2019; Rowe, 2008). Microaffirmation enhances a sense of belonging among the members of a social environment, and is an easily accessible tool that can be used to promote equity in institutions. Research shows significant relationships between receiving microaffirmation and improved relational, psychological, and performance factors, yet it has been unclear whether microaffirmation is substantially different from concepts already established by supportive communication scholarship. Moreover, clarity is needed regarding the functional boundaries of microaffirmation and its relevance across various social groups. To address these gaps, qualitative and quantitative data were collected via a cross-sectional research design, and were used to examine the role of microaffirmation in advisor-student communication and its impacts on undergraduate college students' (N = 361) sense of belonging, psychological wellbeing, interaction perception, engagement, and commitment to persist through college. Results indicated that microaffirmation messages are sent by advisors to a moderate-to-high degree on average, and are salient when received by students. Controlling for differences accounted for by demographic characteristics, COVID-19 impacts, and social support variables, results showed that encouragement from advisors positively influenced students' sense of belonging and psychological wellbeing. Advisors' validation positively predicted students' perception of interaction quality on campus. The results of this study underscore the value and utility of microaffirmation as an emerging area of scholarship.
