“…Recent studies conducted with homeless youth have examined correlates of social support (Barman-Adhikari, Bowen, Bender, Brown, & Rice, 2016), support from natural mentors (defined as non-parental adults) (Dang, Conger, Breslau, & Miller, 2014), types of support needs (la Haye et al, 2012), as well as resiliency and coping (Thompson et al, 2016). Social support is integral to enhancing homeless young people's sense of well-being (Barczyk, Thompson, & Rew, 2014).…”

“…Social support is integral to enhancing homeless young people's sense of well-being (Barczyk, Thompson, & Rew, 2014). The sources and types of social support youth utilize, however, often vary by gender, sexuality, and history of abuse (Barman-Adhikari et al, 2016). Furthermore, homeless youth draw from specific sources, such as family members or sexual partners, to meet particular support needs that are either tangible or emotional in nature (la Haye et al, 2012).…”

We employ a social stress framework, which examines the influence of multiple stressors (e.g., physical abuse, foster care placement) on an individual's ability to function (e.g., mental well-being), to longitudinally examine the effects of stressful life events on mental health and the role of the social environment in this process among 150 homeless youth. Results revealed that numerous stressors, such as physical abuse and running away from home more frequently, were associated with greater depressive symptoms and elevated anxiety. Having mentors and family and friends from home that youth can rely on resulted in more positive social support, which subsequently lowered the risk for depressive symptoms and anxiety at wave 2.

“…A recurring theme as participants talked about community was the importance of finding people with similar experiences and backgrounds as themselves, an emphasis on the homogeneity that is a part of bonding social capital. Scholars have identified the pitfalls of homogenous social groups for economically precarious individuals, including the magnification of suicidal ideation and limited resources (Barman‐Adhikari et al ; Fitzpatrick et al ). The TNB interviewees in this study explicitly articulated few disadvantages to homogenous bonding capital.…”

Scholars theorize that the development of community is an important part of resilience. In this mixed-methods study, we argue that race informs the experiences that transgender and non-binary (TNB) people have in seeking community. Using the Strengthening Colors of Pride Phase I and Phase II research, we argue that in a Latinomajority city, Latinx and Anglo TNB people connected with the transgender and broader lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community, although Anglo TNB people reported more transphobia in the LGBTQ+ community. Black and American Indian TNB people connected with LGBTQ+ communities of color specifically and struggled more to find in-person community. Anglo TNB people used their own White racial networks to connect with supportive hobby and interest groups. In general, TNB people connected more with communities that resonated with the multiplicities of their own lives, such as commonalities of economic precarity and immigration status. This research is an important contribution to understanding the development of community for resilience, and the way race and gender identity inform community experiences for TNB people.

“…Social capital refers to the capability of individuals to aggregate the actual and potential resources by virtue of their possession of particular social networks (Lin, ). In other studies, perceived social support was used as one form of social capital (Barman‐adhikari, Bowen, Bender, Brown, & Rice, ; Irwin, LaGory, Ritchey, & Fitzpatrick, ) and was proved to have buffering effects on depression among homeless people (Irwin et al., ). Therefore, in this study, social support seems to be a promising predictor representative for social capital.…”

Effects of social support and cultural capital on global meaning among bereaved elders in rural China: A hierarchical linear analysis

This study explored the context effect in the relationship between capital (income, social support, and cultural capital) and changes in global meaning. We interviewed a sample of 352 bereaved Chinese elders from 18 communities in rural China and conducted hierarchical linear modeling for data analysis. The effects of social support and cultural capital in terms of traditional Chinese culture on changes in global meaning differed across communities. Social support earned its credit in buffering function against bereavement, whereas traditional Chinese culture posed a risk of elevating negative global meaning. More social support and positive global meaning are reliable predictors for enhancing the psychological health of bereaved elders.
