Abstract

The term social support is used to refer to the salutatory content of human relationships. This chapter reviews various conceptualizations of social support and surveys the evidence for its relevance for mental health. Social support varies reliably with location in the social system suggesting that its origin lies in social experience. However, it is also clear that aspects of personality are implicated in one’s capacity to gain and maintain supportive relationships and to experience the support of others in a meaningful way. Social support is predictive of mental health status on its own and as a moderator of the effects of social stress, but there are multiple contingencies in these relationships. In particular, social support is most beneficial when it does not emphasize the need of the recipient. Also, the balance between support received and support given appears to be important.
