“…It has been often emphasized that research on the role of social support should be more specific and sensitive to context and that studies should move towards the assessment of specific functions of support, provided by specific sources (Cohen, Hettler, & Park, 1997). Early studies on different types of daily stress suggest that specific type of support (e.g., emotional) should have the strongest effects on specific outcomes only (e.g., mental health indices; Kessler & McLeod, 1985).…”

“…There has been a growing interest among researchers in the interactive roles of social support and personality in life-stress adjustment (see e.g., Cohen, Hettler, & Park, 1997;Dunkley et al, 2000). However, PSS has always been examined in the role of mediator between negative perfectionism and depression/anxiety (Dunkley et al, 2000;Dunkley, Sanislow, Grilo, & McGlashan, 2006).…”

We examined the role of perceived social support in the relationship between perfectionism and depression/anxiety. Partial correlation and hierarchical regression were conducted using cross-sectional data from 426 college students. They completed questionnaires including positive and negative perfectionism scales, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Results showed that depression/anxiety were significantly correlated with perceived social support and perfectionism. Perceived social support significantly moderated the influence of perfectionism upon depression/ anxiety. These findings indicate that perceived social support may have a protective effect in preventing perfectionists from experiencing depression and anxiety.

“…Informative support emphasizes knowledge, supervision, and counseling (Pearlin, 1985) and helps the person define, understand, and cope with problematic events (Bierhoff, 1994;Cohen & Wills, 1985). Instrumental support helps reduce stress while supplying the concrete aid one needs and by emphasizing the fact that this person is not alone in the situation because others care and help (Cohen, Hettler, & Park, 1997;Cohen & Wills, 1985). Emotional support assists one to feel accepted and maintain self-evaluations (Cohen et al, 1997).…”

Subjective well being of adolescents in boarding schools under threat of war

How is subjective well being (SWB) of adolescents in boarding schools affected by threatened war, and related to perceived social support, self-control skills, and self-efficacy beliefs? Five hundred sixty-seven adolescents in five Israeli boarding schools completed questionnaires before the 2003 Iraq war. As expected, participants' fear of war affected SWB, and adolescents with high social support and self-control reported better SWB than low-scoring counterparts. Unexpectedly, self-efficacy regarding effective coping with upcoming war was unrelated to SWB. However, self-efficacy moderated links between social support and two SWB components (positive affect, life satisfaction). High-efficacy participants showed positive support-SWB correlations, whereas low-efficacy participants showed none. Findings highlighted personal resources as maintaining adolescents' SWB in boarding schools even under extreme stress.
