“…Thus, the higher the disposition to perceive the future as expanded and rich of opportunities, the higher the extent to which individuals report receiving social support from others. This finding is in line with previous research indicating that highly future-oriented people report more socially supportive relationships [ 5 , 12 , 43 ]. This may be attributable to that individuals who experience their future time as expansive tend to prioritize social-acceptance goals such as having people who accept, support, and trust them, as initially reported by Lang and Carstensen [ 4 ] and then replicated on pan-European data [ 44 ].…”

“…Perceived social support refers to the informational, instrumental, emotional and appraisal functions that the exchange activities within one’s social network serve [ 8 ]. A distinction has been made between receiving and giving social support [ 9 ], which have both been associated with better psychological health outcomes [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Perceived social support is widely treated as an outcome variable in the literature, as it is viewed as an inherent component of social well-being [ 13 ].…”

Future time perspective, perceived social support, and dispositional gratitude are topics of interest that positively influence people’s psychological health. Although gratitude has been positively associated with future time perspective and social support, this is the first study to investigate its mediating role in the relationships of future time perspective with perceived social support. A convenience sample of 1256 adults (55.1% women), mean age 34.55 years (SD = 13.92), completed self-reported measures of future time perspective (conceptualized as remaining time and opportunities), dispositional gratitude, and received and given social support. Results indicated that higher dispositional gratitude mediated the relationship between the perception of more remaining time and opportunities and greater perception of received and given social support. These findings highlight the importance of considering dispositional characteristics to better understand the impact of perceived future on the individuals’ subjective experience of social exchanges. Interventions addressing future time perspective and dispositional gratitude might have beneficial effects on individuals’ social well-being.

“…There are many psychological resources that medical professionals can adopt to improve psychological stress and mental health. This study focuses specifically on received and perceived social supports due to their role in protecting against mental health issues [19,20]. Social support is theorized to impact mental health through two main effects: a direct effect and a buffering effect [18].…”

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Social support can be a critical resource to help medical staff cope with stressful events; however, the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between burnout and anxiety symptoms has not yet been explored. Methods: The final sample was comprised of 514 intensive care unit physicians and nurses in this cross-sectional study. Questionnaires were used to collect data. A moderated model was used to test the effect of social support. Results: The moderating effect of social support was found to be significant (b = − 0.06, p = 0.04, 95%CI [− 0.12, − 0.01]). The Johnson-Neyman technique indicated that when social support scores were above 4.26 among intensive care unit medical staff, burnout was not related to anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: This is the first study to test the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between burnout and anxiety symptoms among intensive care unit staff.

“…Similarly, Wilson et al. 7 noted that perceived social support is linked to psychological well-being and explained how social support heightens well-being by encouraging a more balanced, self-forgiving, and positive outlook. That is, social support is one of the essential variables to improve subjective well-being.…”

Student-athletes may have high stress, and the level of their subjective well-being could be low due to the dual role of being a student and an athlete. In the field of sport psychology, social support has received focal attention to identifying its impact on individuals’ subjective well-being. However, there is a lack of research that focuses on teammate support and subjective well-being. Thus, this study examined how the perception of teammate support influences subjective well-being through positive emotions based on the environmental psychology model and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions. This study collected 313 responses from university student-athletes in Singapore and conducted a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis. Results showed that perceived teammate support had a positive influence on subjective well-being through positive emotion. Also, there was a direct effect of perceived teammate support on subjective well-being. The results support the critical role of perceived teammate support in enhancing the student-athletes’ subjective well-being. The findings of this study are beneficial for coaches and student-leaders to design strategies to improve the subjective well-being of student-athletes.
