“Social Support” comprehensively evaluates research and theory from the perspective of both the scientist and human service provider. This work is sure to become the standard reference on the social support for the psychologist‚ sociologist‚ and service provider concerned with social factors in distress and wellbeing.
The volume first examines the roots of‚ and current debates in‚ the conceptualization of social support. An integrative perspective is then proposed‚ presenting social support as a transactional process involving network resources‚ behavior‚ and appraisals. Further chapters review measures of support and develop the transactional model—examining links between resources‚ behavior‚ and appraisals‚ and exploring personal‚ social‚ and ecological influences on the support process. The book then turns to general models of support effects on psychological well-being‚ evaluating empirical evidence‚ noting problems with these models‚ and subsequently proposing more specific models of support mechanisms. The role of social support in social epidemiology is examined‚ as are neglected issues regarding developmental aspects of support across the life span. Interventions involving social support are the focus of the later chapters. Problems‚ both scientific and ideological‚ are discussed; prospects for interventions at different points in the support process and at various social levels are outlined; finally‚ support interventions are illustrated through extant programs.
