“…In several studies, the difference in perception of social support among both genders is due to various factors such as marital status, education level, age and socioeconomic conditions [36,37]. In this sense, our data demonstrate a relationship between perceived social support and marital status, so that being married is positively associated with social support and being divorced negatively, confirming the findings of other studies [11,38]. …”

BackgroundSocial support is an important factor in the adaptation process of immigrants, helping for their integration in a new environment. The lack of social support may influence on well-being and health status. The aim of this study is to describe the social support of immigrant and native population and study the possible association between immigration and lack social support after adjusting for sociodemographic factors, income, stress and self-reported health status.MethodsCross-sectional population based study of immigrants and national patients without mental disorders of 15 urban primary health centers in the north-eastern area of Madrid. Participants provided information on social support, stress level, perceived health status and socio-economic characteristics. Descriptive and multiple logistic regression were conducted.ResultsThe proportion of the global perception of social support among immigrants and natives was 79.2% and 94.2%, respectively. The lack of global social support adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) of immigrant was 2.72 (95% Confidence Interval = 1.81-4.09), showing a significant association with being male (PR = 2.26), having monthly income below 500 euros (PR = 3.81) and suffering stress (PR = 1.94). For the dimensions of lack of social support the higher association was being an immigrant and suffering stress.ConclusionsWe conclude that with regardless of the level of monthly income, stress level, self-reported health status, and gender, immigrant status is directly associated with lack social support. The variable most strongly associated with lack social support has been monthly income below 500 euros.

“…Immigrant networks are dynamic and keep evolving over time, in that, host nationals and immigrants from other cultural groups often get incorporated at later stages of the migration experience (Knight et al., ). These types of contacts may be particularly helpful as these individuals usually have better access to the local job market and can help the immigrant adjust to the norms and values of the host society (Knight et al., ; Martı́nez Garcı́a, Garcı́a Ramı́rez, & Maya Jariego, ). While immigrants may initially have an interest in holding contact to coethnics to create a sense of cultural familiarity and continuity, they might outgrow this need due to their development in human capital (e.g., skills and competencies) as well as their personal and professional advancement goals, and thus look for new people as time passes (Ryan, ).…”

This article proposes a social network approach to the study of multiple cultural identifications. We argue that social network theory and social network methodology are essential for a truly dynamic examination of how multiple cultural identifications develop and how they are negotiated. This article starts by defining some relevant concepts (i.e., cultural identification, Bicultural Identity Integration, social networks), and then goes on to integrate these concepts into a micro-meso-level framework by discussing the bidirectional links between cultural identifications and social networks (i.e., their content and their structure). We, then, explicate how social and cultural psychology can gain theoretically and methodologically from social network analysis. Finally, we conclude with some recommendations for researchers who seek to include social networks in their approach, and also discuss general and specific policy implications.

“…The ‘stress‐buffering’ hypothesis argued that social support protected people from the pathogenic effects of stressors, whereas the ‘main effects’ hypothesis argued that social support benefit health irrespective of whether people exposed to stressors (Cohen & Wills 1985). Despite the difference existed in the type and theory, it has been demonstrated that social support has a positive relationship with physical and psychological well‐being (Elovainio & Kivimaki 2000, Martinez Garcia et al. 2002).…”
