▼ Despite the fact that peer support groups play an important role in stroke recovery by providing tools for effective coping, alleviating psychological stress, and creating an outlet for stroke survivors and caregivers, their perceived benefits have not been clearly defined for rural stroke survivors and their families. This qualitative study describes the experiences of stroke survivors and family caregivers in rural areas of North Carolina who have participated in stroke peer support groups. Four focus groups were conducted with thirty-two support group participants (average age 67 years, 72% female) in four rural North Carolina counties using a semi-structured discussion guide to learn about their experiences. Thematic analysis revealed that participants in rural support groups seek and receive knowledge from their support groups, that the shared experiences cultivate a sense of community among support group participants, and that participants also view support outside of the support group as a necessary component of their recovery process. These findings emphasize that peer support groups are a valuable resource for stroke survivors and caregivers, particularly in rural areas where access to resources is often limited.

Numerous studies have researched the impact of military combat on the behavioral health of military combat soldiers. However, there is a dearth of research on Army Reserve Component spouses after their husbands' return from military combat. This study evaluated the association between marital adjustment (marital satisfaction and aggression), and depressive symptoms in spouses of Army Reserve Component soldiers who have returned from military combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. This study also evaluated the degree to which the relation between marital adjustment and depression are moderated by self-reported perceived community and military social support satisfaction.
Self-report questionnaires that measure demographics and behavior problems were placed on an online survey service. 136 participants completed the survey and met inclusion criteria (e.g., female spouses of Army Reserve Component soldiers who returned after serving in military combat in Iraq or Afghanistan).
Data Analysis focused on associations between marital adjustment, depressive symptoms, and self-reported perceived community and military social support satisfaction. Participants' level of self-reported depressive symptoms were significantly correlated with a self-reported measure of marital satisfaction, with self reported measures of psychological aggression, physical aggression, and sexual coercion when the participant was the victim, and of psychological aggression when the participant was the perpetrator, as well as with self-reported perceived community and military social support satisfaction.
Step-wise regression analyses with self-reported depressive symptoms as the outcome variable indicated: (a) a significant main effect for a measure of self-reported perceived community social support satisfaction when it was added to a model that included a measure of marital satisfaction as a predictor variable, (b) significant main effects for measures of self-reported perceived community and military social support satisfaction when they were added to models that included a measure of marital aggression when the participant was the victim as a predictor variable or when the participant was the perpetrator as a predictor variable, and (c) no significant moderating effects for measures of self-reported perceived community or military social support satisfaction on the associations with predictor variables marital satisfaction, marital aggression when the participant was the victim, or marital aggression when the participant was the perpetrator.

▼ This study aimed to address gaps in the literature by taking a qualitative approach to better understand both facilitators and barriers to acquiring positive
social support for first-time parent couples. An interpretative phenomenological approach was utilized to explore the lived experience of first-time parent couples as they navigated the first few months of parenthood. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to identify potential sources of
social support within and outside the couple relationship, and to better understand the role these supports played in their adaptation to the parenting role. The study revealed three super-ordinate themes central to our understanding of
social support and its critical role in the positive adaptation of first-time parents: 1) predicting
social support needs; preparing for the unknown, 2) assessing capacity to meet the demands of early parenthood, and 3) feeling supported as a first-time parent.

▼ Scholars have suggested that
social support provides people with psychosocial resources that help them cope with aversive or challenging stimuli by reducing negative arousal and altering the way they perceive the physical world. These resources are elicited when
social support contacts are physically present, or when people are primed to think about
social support. This research tested the hypothesis that a minimal
social support prime, specifically the communicative act of sending a text message to a friend via
social media, would elicit psychosocial resources to reduce negative arousal elicited by the challenge of healthy eating and in turn help people make healthier eating decisions. In addition, this dissertation explored the question of whether a
social support prime would also counteract the effect of stress on eating, helping people make healthier eating decisions. An initial empirical study was used to explore the hypotheses and research question and demonstrated that a
social media prime for
social support led people to eat less unhealthy food, but this was not the case when a person was stressed. A second study explored the thought processes elicited by the
social media
social support prime and stress manipulation from the first study to explain the pattern of eating observed in the first study. This study demonstrated that stress and the
social support prime made thoughts of food more cognitively accessible. These studies contribute to the literature on psychosocial resources and
social support, computer-mediated communication, and stress and eating in several ways. First this research demonstrates that psychosocial resources provided by
social support have the power to impact behavior. Second, this work suggests that a minimal
social media prime has the power to elicit the same psychosocial resources as more intense
social support primes and physically present
social support contacts. Third, this work marks the first study to explore the thought processes behind the psychosocial resources elicited by
social support. This research also contributes to the CMC literature by demonstrating that people adapt to their communication environment, even in the absence of communication. Finally, this research contributes to the literature on stress and eating by testing a
social support prime as a mechanism for reducing the impact of stress on eating.

▼ Previous observational research on invisible support has demonstrated that both subtle support (a provider effect) and lack of awareness of support received (a recipient effect) are crucial in predicting positive outcomes in the invisible support process (Howland & Simpson, 2010). One-hundred and fourteen individuals and their romantic partners participated in a lab experiment attempting to establish the causal role of these two components in predicting perceptions of support and support outcomes. Two variables were manipulated in a social support context: the type of support received (invisible, visible, or no-support) and recipients' ability to attend to support received (via cognitive load). Participants were asked to complete a mildly stressful task during which they received a supportive note (containing a randomly assigned support manipulation message) believed to be from their partners. They were randomly assigned to receive the message under cognitive load or under no cognitive load. The overarching prediction was that individuals receiving invisible support under cognitive load would perceive the least amount of support and benefit the most from it. Additional hypotheses were formed concerning the moderating role of recipient and partner attachment anxiety and avoidance. While little evidence was found consistent with the predictions made, some results emerged that were consistent with invisible support theory and previous research.

▼ Resilience refers to the capacity to quickly return to normal levels of functioning in the face of adversity. This capacity has previously been linked to social support. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of social networks in the association between resilience and social anxiety in a clinical group with social anxiety disorder (n = 41) and a control group of university students (n = 40). The results showed that controls were significantly more resilient than the clinical group. Controls had significantly larger, more diverse and active social networks than the clinical group. Resilience was negatively associated with social anxiety in both groups. In the clinical group, there was a significant partial mediation effect of resilience on social anxiety through the size of the social network, a x b = –0.33, 95% CI [–0.718, –0.111]. Potential clinical applications of these results were discussed.

▼ Patients receiving dialysis treatment experience immense changes in their health and well-being, therefore receiving adequate
social support services is an integral aspect of their care plan. Thus, the purpose of this study was to gain an understanding about
social support services offered by
social workers to patients receiving dialysis care. Furthermore, this study sought to develop awareness about additional services need to assist
social workers in providing
social, emotional, and physical
support to patients. This qualitative study used data from a non-probability snowball sample of 10
social workers that work with patients receiving dialysis care. Findings of this study are significant to
social work practice as the analysis provided insight that may enhance current practices in dialysis centers. Furthermore, the qualitative analyses gathered through the one-on-one interviews led to the emergence of seven central themes. Themes anticipated by the researchers included the perception about the ability to provide
social, emotional, and physical
support, as well as to highlight the role of
social workers in this healthcare setting. Additional themes identified during this study focused on reasons for patients lacking
social support, the scarcity of resources, and recommendations corroborated with first-hand experiences in the field to better serve patients. Recommendations included increased focus on providing therapeutic services within dialysis, additional transportation options for patients, and greater availability of resources to meet the various needs of patients.

▼ Previous research has implicated social support in a wide range of contexts, yet despite the extensive quantity of research, we are yet to fully understand the underlying mechanisms. Research into these mechanisms will not only have theoretical implications but also applied implications. This thesis examined the mechanisms underpinning social support in an achievement context. It is presented as series of three interrelated chapters, which comprise the four studies conducted. These are preceded by an introduction, and succeeded by a general discussion. The studies focused upon social support: the first examining the effects of a social support intervention within a performance context, the remaining three studies investigating perceived support and performance-related outcome variables within the coach-athlete relationship. The first study examined social support in a performance context assessing the influences of support upon the stress response. A neurocognitive approach found that when compared to participants in a non-support group, individuals who were given support showed less brain activations in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region associated with the initial stress response. However, results displayed that participants did not perceive support in the same way; not all participants who were given the support manipulation reported being supported. Studies two and three used multivariate generalisability theory to examine the relationship between perceived support and various outcome variables at the perceiver, target and relational levels of analysis. A univariate analysis revealed that the relational component was the most influential followed by the perceiver. Social support was positively associated with self-confidence, self-efficacy and positive emotions at the relational level of analysis. The fourth study used qualitative methods in order to delve further into how athletes judge the supportiveness of their coaches and the antecedents of perceived support. The study found that the relationship between a coach and an athlete was the biggest contributing factor in perceived support judgements. This judgement relied heavily on the previous experiences that the athlete had shared with the coach. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that to understand the mechanisms underlying how social support effects various outcome variables, studies need to be conducted investigating how individuals develop their perceptions of support. This thesis has demonstrated that individuals perceived support in different ways. The final three studies showed that the supportiveness of one coach may be viewed differently by different athletes. Thus, coaches will not be viewed as supportive by every athlete that they work with. Consequently, interventions aimed at increasing levels of perceived support may not be successful unless the coach and athlete are optimally matched to create a highly supportive relationship. Theoretical and applied implications, in addition to future research are discussed throughout this thesis.

▼ Researchers and practitioners identify social support as an important part of organizational culture, contributing to an environment of psychological well-being and employee engagement. However, social support has been defined and measured inconsistently across studies. The purpose of this study was to explore the construct of coworker discretionary support (CDS), the support that peers offer voluntarily to help coworkers meet job challenges. Using a mixed methodological approach, I examined the types of CDS that employees experience and its value and meaning. I created a measure of CDS and examined the relationship between CDS and engagement as well as the impact of a style preference, relationship-orientation, on the CDS – engagement relationship. The results indicate that CDS is a valuable job resource and is significantly related to work engagement, regardless of how relationship-oriented an employee is. The final CDS instrument is a reliable method that researchers and organizational leaders may use in future research and to assess social support in an organization’s environment.

▼ Den psykiska ohälsan bland Sveriges befolkning har ökat och i takt med den även internetanvändandet. Den ständiga tillgången till internet har öppnat upp för människor att söka hjälp och publicera egna livsberättelser om sitt mående. På internetbaserade mötesplatser har det skapats en gemenskap och öppnats upp för informella stödgrupper, som vem som helst kan ta del av då behovet uppstår. Internet erbjuder snabba svar på användarnas frågor, och den som använder mötesplatserna kan vara anonym när den kommenterar. Detta har skapat en utmaning för dagens socialarbetare, då klienterna väljer det informella stödet på internet istället för det professionella. För att samla in material till denna studie har den svenska influencern Therese Lindgrens YouTube-kanal använts, där kommentarsfälten till två av hennes filmer använts som empiriskt case. Studiens resultat visar på en kravlös gemenskap vid den digitala mötesplatsen, där användarna själva styr innehållet. Mötesplatsen har visat sig användas som ett ställe dit användarna vänder sig för att ge och ta emot råd, stötta andra och berätta om egna erfarenheter av ångest. Genom att studien synliggör den mediala utvecklingen och de informella stödgrupperna som finns på internet, kan den bidra till en förståelse av den utmaning som socialarbetare står inför. Efter att genomförd studie redogjorts, ges förslag om hur socialarbetare kan anpassa sig till den utveckling som skett. Detta förslag grundar sig i ett samarbete mellan influencers och professionella. Syftet med studien är att ge en inblick i digitala forum och hur dessa nyttjas som informell support av dess användare.

▼ The rapid development of new information technologies alters the structure of organizations. Many organization contains several branches and there is only one IS personnel in each branch. Such IS personnel faces different challenges because of lacking
support from collocated peers. This study is to explore 1) the impact of using
social networking group (Facebook) to ease IS personnelâs work stress and turnover rate; and 2) the factors affecting cohesiveness and operations of online
social networking group.
Data was collected from a content analysis of 29 members of a closed groups. The results show that online
social groups not only can provide psychological
support and emotional
support but also is an effective way to reduce turnover rate of IS personnel. Moreover, the factors that maintain group cohesiveness and facilitate operations include 1) core membersâ supports, 2) reducing alienation (i.e., inviting lurkers to speak), and 3) building reliance which encourages members feel free to speak.

▼ This study examined the process of
social support exchange within dating relationships. Rejection sensitivity and processes related to self-evaluation maintenance were examined as they related to various reactions to advice from a dating partner. It was predicted that individuals who were higher in rejection sensitivity would anticipate and perceive advice more negatively, and would have more negative emotional and behavioral responses to advice than individuals low in rejection sensitivity. Further, it was predicted that individuals who received advice in a high-relevance area would have more negative reactions than individuals receiving advice in a low-relevance area. Finally, relevance was expected to interact with rejection sensitivity. Participants were recruited as couples and were separated throughout the study. They were asked to identify areas of high or low relevance and potential problems in these areas, for which they received advice from their “partner”. Reactions to advice were assessed through self-report measures, the lexical decision task, and a text-analysis program applied to advice participants gave back to partners. Results revealed that low-rejection sensitive individuals manifested more varied reactions depending on the relevance of the area in which they received advice. This was in contrast to high rejection sensitive individuals, who reacted similarly regardless of relevance. Implications of these findings for the relationships of rejection sensitive individuals and directions for future research are discussed.

▼ There is considerable evidence that cardiac devices such as pacemakers and internal cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) are important treatments which have led to increased life expectancy and decreased mortality rates for individuals with chronic cardiac arrhythmias (Taylor et al., 2001). Despite the impact of these devices on their physical condition, children and adolescents with internal cardiac devices also face a variety of psychosocial challenges. However, very little research is available regarding the impact of these treatments on the quality of life (QOL) of children and adolescents with arrhythmias. Research has supported the role of
social support as an important protective factor against the effects of chronic stressors. However, this relationship has not been adequately examined for a population of pediatric patients with internal cardiac devices. The current study examined associations between three types (Esteem-enhancing, Informational, Tangible) and five sources (Family, Friends, Classmates, Teachers, Doctors/Nurses) of
social support and the psychosocial functioning of children and adolescents with cardiac pacemakers and ICDs. Thirty-one children and adolescent with a cardiac pacemaker or ICD and their parents completed questionnaires assessing the childÕs health-related quality of life, self-competency, psychological adjustment, and
social functioning. Results of bi-variate correlational analyses indicated that, as hypothesized, each of the three types of
support were positively associated with positive outcomes, while family members and friends were the two sources of
support most consistently associated with positive outcomes.
Support from classmates and teachers was positively associated with fewer
social problems and better self-competency. There were no significant associations when
support from doctors or nurses was considered. Between group differences using ANOVA procedures indicated that the interaction of low Informational and high Esteem
support was consistently associated with positive QOL outcomes. These findings have important implications for the development of future
social support interventions for children adolescents with internal cardiac devices. Several important implications for future research in this area are also discussed.

▼ This dissertation explored relationships between the frequency of public communication on the
social networking website Facebook and the level of
social support an individual perceives. Students in the Graduate School of
Social Work and the Emergent Digital Practices program were surveyed. Correlation and regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between the variables. Findings from the analysis indicated that the frequency of posting statuses on Facebook and the frequency of responding to other's status updates on Facebook was significantly and negatively associated with a perception of tangible
social support. The frequency of these types of communication were not significantly associated with the perception of appraisal, belonging, or self-esteem
social support. The frequency of others responding to one's status posts was not significantly associated to the perception of any type of
social support. The implications of these findings for theory, research, and
social work practice are explored.

▼ Approximately 15 million people worldwide experience
stroke annually, of which five million are left permanently
disabled, creating a need for long term support from family and
community services. This sudden, unplanned and unpredictable event
can have a devastating effect on the mental and physical health of
family caregivers. The experience of being a family caregiver, and
caring for a person who has suffered and survived stroke is
therefore particularly important to understand. Social support,
both informal and formal, has been known to increase the resilience
of stroke survivors and their caregivers assisting them to maintain
good physical and mental health. This narrative synthesis examined
the attributes of formal social support programs and their effects
in the development of resilience in family caregivers. A broad
search of databases of published qualitative and mixed methods
studies was conducted. Critical Appraisal Skill Program (CASP) was
used to critically appraise the studies. The narrative synthesis
consists of four elements: 1) developing a theory; 2) developing a
preliminary synthesis; 3) exploring relationships in the data; and
4) assessing the robustness of the synthesis. Eleven studies out of
169 articles met the inclusion criteria. Synthesis identified
helpful attributes of support interventions as follows: convenience
of delivery location, accessibility to and easy comprehensibility
of information, face to face connection, learning with and from
other caregivers as a group and individually, hands on training,
and access to tailored care.

▼ Although migration has been studied extensively by a variety of
social science disciplines, rarely has research been conducted into the experiences of self-selected, voluntary migrants before they depart their country of origin. Two studies were conducted to address this gap in the literature. Study 1 examined qualitative expressions of primarily British migrants who participated in three online forums for migrants to New Zealand over a one-month timeframe. The primary function of the migration forums was to provide informational
support, and this was considered very valuable to predeparture migrants. Study 2 was a quantitative anonymous survey of British pre-departure migrants (N=95) that examined psychological variables such as stress and wellbeing with a focus on the role of
social support. Migrants passed through a process characterized by stages, with most contemplating migration for more than two years before committing to it. Reasons given for migration included macro and micro factors, such as crowding, quality of life/lifestyle, children, government control of citizen's lives, and environment. Family members accompanying the migrant were rated most highly for emotional and instrumental
support, and increased family
support predicted better wellbeing and lower stress. Drivers of the migration decision, who were more enthusiastic about the move than their partner, felt more stress and trailing spouses had lower wellbeing.
Support from extended family members dropped significantly after migrants informed them of their decision to leave. Migrants who were parents perceived less
support from extended family members than did those without children. Implications for further research include the need to address the predeparture period as important in the acculturation process.

▼ Psycho-social support for HIV infected patients is critical in ensuring these patients remain
connected to the health facility. This is because HIV patients need medication attention and
support that should always be within their reach. Ensuring these pateints get the neccessary
psychosial support increases their opportunities to be in touch with the health care insututions
and these would be paramount to their health status. Despite provision of free medicine
offered by the organizations, many HIV infected patient have not often been attending the
clinics to collect the drugs and there has continued to be a decline in the number of those
attending the clinic after being tested and put on treatment, the number of those attending the
clinic continuing declining. With this in mind this study investigated the influence of psychosocial
support with a focus to disclosure counseling, transport facilitation, peer educator
groups and adherence monitoring on the retention of HIV patients in ampath care based clinic
in eldoret, Kenya. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of psycho-social
support programme on retention into care based clinic among patients with HIV in Eldoret,
Kenya. This study was guided by the following specific objectives, to; estabilish how
disclosure counseling influence retention of HIV patients in AMPATH care based clinic in
Eldoret, Kenya, examine how transport reimbursement influence retention of HIV patients in
AMPATH care based clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, investigate how peer educator groups
counseling influence retention of HIV patients in AMPATH care based clinic in Eldoret,
Kenya and to determine how adherence counseling influence retention of HIV patients in
AMPATH care based clinic in Eldoret, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey study
design. The target population for this study included 355 respondents made up of325
patients and & are caregiver providers (staff). Therefore for this study 30% of 325 patients
were sampled to give 87 sample sizes of patients and 30 health care providers. The study used
two research instruments namely the questionnaire and guided interview schedules. In this
study, questionnaires was piloted in a pilot survey using 8 patients and interview schedules
to 2 pyschosocial staff from mosoriot AMPATH clinic. The reliability tests for all the
variables revealed a coefficient of 0.863which was above 0.70. The variables were therefore
reliable for use by the study. Data was organized and analyzed using descriptive statistics and
inferential statistics. This study used tables to present the information. The study findings
from the regression model indicated that there was a significant relationship between
Disclosure Counselingand Retention of HIV Patients (p=0.000). The study concluded that the
level of self-competence of the healthcare providers determines the quality of care and
retention of HIV patients. The study recommended that the health care providers should
enrich proper records for the people who attend…

Relationship Between Mode of HIV Transmission, Social

▼ For decades, medical perspectives have
dominated the literature studying HIV/AIDS. More recently, issues
related to HIV concerning the behavioral and psychological
well-being of persons with AIDS (PWA) have surfaced. Much of the
research in this field focuses on the coping strategies of PWA as
they relate to the race, gender, and age of the infected
individual. Additionally, studies examining how families cope with
HIV focus on family functioning and caring for PWA. Still missing
from this literature however, is an understanding of the different
ways in which PWA cope with their illness, and how they come to use
particular coping strategies. This paper
examines the ways in which individuals cope with HIV. I speculate
that the mode of transmission will influence the mechanisms
individuals use cope. For example, individuals who contract HIV
from a blood transfusion will use coping strategies that are
different from an individual who has contracted HIV from having
shared infected needles or from having sexual relations with
members of the same sex. I link this difference in coping to the
different kinds of stigma attached to these behaviors. This study
finds that coping with HIV is complex and takes many forms. The men
in this study use a variety of coping strategies, often at the same
time.
Social support and stigma are particularly important in the
choosing and implementation of particular coping strategies. I
argue that because coping takes many forms, we need to approach
coping as not always being only “active” or only “passive”. Doing
so will allow a better understanding of coping as it relates to
stigma and
social support.

▼ An increasing number of communities have been plagued with greater levels of violence,
which, in turn, have negatively impacted youth. Exposure to community violence can
lead to internalizing problems, aggressive and delinquent behaviors and academic
difficulties for youth. Youth are forced to deal with violence in their communities which
impacts routines such as going to and from school, creating additional burdens and
complicating their ability to navigate through the educational system.
Social support has
been demonstrated to aid in resiliency for youth exposed to violence. In the present study
one hundred fifty nine high school youth were surveyed. Those students who were
exposed to higher levels of violence experienced greater levels of internalizing behaviors,
externalizing behaviors and academic difficulties.
Support for
social support as a
protective factor had mixed results.

▼ There is a lack of direction and suggestions passed down from recent
Social Work graduates to current
Social Work graduate students in regards to managing stress in graduate school. There is sufficient amount of data regarding the causes of stress on
Social Work graduate students, however, there were no studies that investigated the impact of stressors related to the poor economy, such as budget cuts to programs, dwindling career opportunities and lay-offs. Given the various stressors experienced by
Social Work graduate students such as balancing work schedules, field placements, class load, and personal factors, it would be beneficial to also analyze what impact, if any, the economy has had on stress levels among graduate level
Social Work students and what interventions can be developed to address this issue.
Sources of Data
The population for this study was
social workers that graduated in the last seven years from an accredited university program. In order to participate in this study the participants needed to meet the criteria noted above. A total of 14 MSW graduates aged between 25 to 48 participated in this study.
Conclusions Reached
Our findings contribute to the
Social Work Department and future students in regards to identifying the types of stressors they may encounter and coping methods to address these stressors. Based on the responses provided by the research participants, the top stressors while completing the MSW program were reported as follows: balancing coursework, internship, thesis/project, and work responsibilities, personal problems (i.e. divorce, living far from home)/lack of
social support, financial problems, lack of preparation for work and internship, and health problems. The advice provided to current and future students from recent graduates in regards to how to cope with stressors related to the MSW program were as follows: balance of work and play, maintain
social life, vent to supportive people, self-care, maintaining perspective, maintain peer and family relationships, and stay organized.
Statement of Collaboration
This research project, including all data collected, was a joint endeavor between Araxia Manuukyan and Elisa Olmo.

▼ Adolescent drug use remains a serious problem in the
United States (Johnston, O’Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg,
2012). The 2011 Monitoring the Future survey (MTF) found that half
of the adolescents in a nationwide study had tried an illicit drug
by the time they finished high school. Recent studies report higher
rates of alcohol and other illicit drug use among rural adolescents
when compared to urban counterparts and rural adolescents remain an
understudied portion of the population (Mink, Moore, Johnson,
Probst, & Martin, 2005; Spoth, Goldberg, Neppl, Trudeau, &
Ramisetty-Mikler, 2001; Zollinger, Saywell, Overgaard, Przybylski,
& Dutta-Bergman, 2006). Scholars have called for further
investigation into the experiences of rural adolescents and the
extent to which social processes, such as the role of social
support, can help reduce drug use among rural youth. Based on
interviews with 113 rural adolescents, this study identified and
described the sources and functions of social support messages
rural adolescents report receiving within the context of substance
use and analyzes their appraisals of those messages. Results
indicate that parents, adult experts, and siblings were the most
common sources of social support for rural adolescents. Functions
of support include emotional, esteem, informational, instrumental,
and network support. Informational, instrumental, and emotional
support were the most frequently provided functions, while esteem
and network support messages were much less common. In terms of
emotional support, adolescents gave a positive appraisal to
messages from parents that conveyed care and to messages from
individuals who had been through similar experiences. Messages
providing informational support, the most frequently provided
function, were appraised positively when the advice was provided by
a source who modeled that behavior, as well as when the advice was
provided by a source that was able to base the message on a similar
previous experience. Participants noted that siblings were
particularly adept at providing advice that was based on previous,
shared experiences to which the adolescents could easily relate. In
terms of instrumental support, rural adolescents valued messages
provided by friends and siblings when intervening during a
substance offer, either advocating for them or physically
threatening the source of the offer. Messages that provided
alternatives to substance use also received a positive appraisal.
This was particularly true for adolescents who had a history of
substance use. Overall, the findings from this study provide
important descriptive information that will increase understanding
of the sources, functions, and appraisals of social support
messages that rural adolescents report they receive from others to
help them make healthy choices and remain drug free.

▼ Due to the current economic decline, numerous employees are faced not only with financial concerns, but with the additional stressor of potentially losing their jobs. This feeling of powerlessness in the workforce is referred to as job insecurity. When individuals experience job insecurity, their attitudes about work, job satisfaction, relationships, and overall life satisfaction suffer.
Social support may act as a moderator to improve job-insecure employees??? attitudes at work and in the home. Data were collected from full-time employees online to determine the moderating role of work-based
support (e.g., manager, co-worker, organization) and nonworkbased or personal
support (e.g., family, friends) for the consequences of job insecurity. The results of the regression analyses revealed that job insecurity was related to employees??? higher levels of cynicism, noncompliance, emotional exhaustion, and lower levels of psychological well-being.
Support received within the workplace was found to buffer noncompliant behaviors among women in the workplace. Furthermore,
support received outside of the workplace improved employees??? psychological well-being. The implications of these findings for research and organizations are explored.

▼ While the physical devastation of Hurricane Katrina was immediately obvious, the psychological effects of the storm are still being investigated and the positive effects of trauma, although few, have yet to be adequately explored. Although most individuals will experience a trauma during their lifetime, only a small minority experience negative psychological consequences (Breslau, 2002). Resiliency is a quickly developing area in the literature; however, few studies have investigated predictors of resilience and positive outcomes in adults exposed to natural disasters. The purpose of this study was to explore individual factors and predictors of resilience in women exposed to Hurricane Katrina. Participants include 279 women from New Orleans and surrounding parishes. Regression analyses indicate that women with greater levels of perceived social support were significantly more resilient than those with lower levels of lower levels of support as evidenced by both lower PTSD symptom severity and global distress. However, contrary to proposed hypotheses, greater use of both positive and negative coping was related to greater PTSD symptomatology and global distress 3-7 months following Hurricane Katrina. Therefore, in the months immediately following Hurricane Katrina, greater use of problem-focused coping strategies may actually have deleterious effects on the psychological adjustment of survivors. Bivariate correlations indicate that the positive and negative coping variables were significantly correlated such that an increase or decrease one variable resulted in a similar increase/decrease in the other. Demographic variables were found to be inconsistent predictors of resiliency.

▼ Research examining risk and protective factors associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in children has established social support as one of the strongest predictors of psychological health and overall adjustment post-traumatic event (Vigil & Geary, 2008). Greater perceived social support, generally, has been related to more positive outcomes in children (Borja & Callahan, 2008; Cryder, Kilmer, Tedeschi, & Calhoun, 2006; Pina, Villalta, Ortiz, Gottschall, Costa, & Weems, 2008). Understanding the impact of social support on coping with traumatic events such as natural disasters or exposure to community violence is limited by the lack of psychometrically sound measures. The current study addresses this limitation. The Social Support Questionnaire for Children (SSQC) is a 50 item self-report measure designed to examine children’s social support via five sources: Parents, relatives, non-relative adults, siblings, and peers. Analyses revealed that the SSQC has high internal consistency for the 50-items and all subscales. In addition, the SSQC was shown to have good factorial and construct validity; confirmatory factor analysis found that the proposed five factor model exhibited an adequate fit and accounted for a large portion of the variance in the sample. Concurrent and convergent validity were also examined; as displayed in the literature, social support as assessed by the SSQC was positively correlated with children’s overall adjustment and positive coping behaviors and inversely correlated with PTSD symptom level and negative coping behaviors in a sample of children exposed to Hurricane Katrina. A moderate correlation was found when assessing the scale’s convergent validity, which is a likely attributable to structural differences of the SSQC versus the measure of comparison. Overall, the SSQC appears to be a psychometrically sound measure of children’s social support.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship and differences of hardiness stress, burnout, social support, and demographics such as age, years of service, and education with 196 pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teachers’ from public, private, for-profit, and non-profit schools and to determine if hardy teachers are less vulnerable to burnout. A survey design method was chosen to produce statistics that indicated a numerical description of the relationship between these variables and the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teacher. Four surveys were used: Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Maslach, Jackson, and Schwab, 1986) Teacher Concerns Inventory (Firmian, 1985), Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS-15) (Bartone, 2007), and the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ6) (Sarason, et. al., 1987). A Pearson’s’ product-moment correlation was used to determine the relationship between hardiness, stress, burnout, social support, and the demographic characteristics of age, education, and experience. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences in the relationship between each of the dependent variables; hardiness, stress, burnout, and social support with the independent variables of age, education, and experience.

▼ This dissertation explores a fundamental feature of all human interaction, behavioral coordination. Since early work on motor mimicry, scholars of human communication have invested tremendous energy to discover patterns of behavioral adaptation and the impact these patterns have on individual and relational outcomes. Outcomes such as individual health and well-being, as well as relationship satisfaction and divorce are all contingent on the ability to adapt and coordinate actions (Niederhoffer & Pennebaker, 2002; Stehl et al., 2008; Kulesza et al., 2013; Ireland et al., 2011). Several decades of research have advanced our understanding of specific characteristics of supportive messages and their relationship to important outcomes (for review see MacGeorge, Feng, & Burleson, 2011), and work by communication scientists has uncovered the importance of supportive relationships to health and well-being (Holt et al., 2010). This dissertation focuses on a set of language behaviors and how people repeat, paraphrase, and align language use during supportive conversations. Conversations between friends, strangers, and active listeners all engaged in a supportive conversation were analyzed. The analysis of transcripts of conversations between listeners and disclosers engaged in a 5-minute supportive interaction were conducted in two ways. First, two measures of linguistic coordination, Language Style Matching (LSM) (Ireland & Pennebaker, 2010) and Local Lexical Repetition (LLR) (Cannava & Bodie, 2015) were computed using textual analysis software. Results show that LSM was a significant variable in explaining supportive outcomes, whereas LLR failed to have predictive power. Second, stance analysis (Du Bois, 2007) was used to address supportive communication from a discourse analytic perspective. Results revealed that each relational group accomplished supportive conversations that varied on boundaries of coordination, investment, and affiliation. In general, this dissertation provides full or partial empirical support for the application and conceptualization of LSM and LLR. LSM is shown to be a positive predictor of supportive outcomes, whereas LLR is not. While providing three discourse analytic profiles of alignment, his dissertation also showed that dyads enact linguistic coordination and alignment in variety of ways depending on relationship type. Finally, this dissertation seeks to represent the repertoire of linguistic coordination used during a supportive interaction.

▼ From the past researches on career success, personal characteristics, activeness and IQ were main factors to anticipate whether or not an employee would create a successful career. But in the process of a person's career,
social support also plays a significant role that shouldn't be neglected. Talking about a person that has a successful career, we are easily able to associate with a white-collar manager who acquired high diploma and takes an important position at a famous enterprise. Or, it also occurs to us that someone owns a specific expertise in the field to be well paid. However, an insurance company or a real estate agency does not set up high entrance requirements, and those chosen candidates can later become an insurance agent or a real estate agent without being extraordinarily intelligent nor acquiring great diploma. Although these two industries have a high turnover of staff, those who stay and consistently create good sales performance are known to be greatly rewarded.
Duckworth (2007), who emphasized the importance of âGritâ, indicated that a person's success is mainly from the lasting passion and perseverance towards his or her goal. In the past, comparatively few scholars made a research on the connection among âGritâ, âCareer Successâ and â
Social Supportâ, thus this research, through valid questionnaire surveying 101 insurance agents and 102 real estate agents who age 30~45, shows a detailed analysis on the connection among the 3 factors. From the result of this research, it's found that (1) a positive correlation exists between grit and the career success of a sales representative (2) a positive correlation also exists between
social support and the career success of a sales representative. (3)
social support has a certain level of interference on grit and the career success of sales representative.

▼ Research suggests that the experience of sexual victimization leads to higher levels of psychopathology. It has been noted, however, that resource loss following the victimization, as opposed to the act of victimization itself, is the driving factor in adaptation following the victimization. The current study attempted to address the impact of resource loss following sexual victimization on resilience, as defined by a lack of psychology. In addition, the current study sought to gain a better understanding of the roles of
social support and self-efficacy in this relationship. It is hypothesized that higher levels of resource loss following victimization will lead to lower levels of resilience. In addition, it is hypothesized that
social support and self-efficacy will moderate this relationship. Data was collected using a female, undergraduate sample at Virginia Tech. Results indicated that total resource loss and personal characteristic loss were found to positively predict depression, anxiety and total psychopathology. It was also found to negatively predict school performance, and satisfaction with friends. Neither type of loss significantly predicted alcohol use, change in G.P.A., number of hookups and PTSD. No significant moderation was found for either
social or
support or self-efficacy. Implications of these results will be discussed.

▼ Research on contemporary sexism suggests that sexism
has many different forms and they influence women differently.
Evidence shows that women who experience subtle forms of sexism
(e.g., modern and benevolent sexism) feel anxious and less
competent, yet are less likely to identify these forms of sexism as
prejudice against women. Because research suggests that
social
support is related to better psychological outcomes, we
hypothesized that higher levels of perceived
social support would
be associated with better psychological outcomes among female
participants who experienced sexism. In addition, receiving a
supportive message after experiencing sexism would buffer the
negative psychological effects of sexism, and thus the participants
would perform better on a problem-solving task. However, the
results only partially supported the hypotheses. Higher levels of
perceived
social support were indeed associated with better
psychological outcomes, but participants who experienced sexism did
not differ significantly from those who did not experience sexism
regarding psychological outcomes. Further, receiving
social support
after experiencing sexism did not produce significant improvements
on the problem-solving task, though participants who experienced
modern sexism did report an increase in hostile affect if they did
not receive
social support. Possible reasons for the findings are
discussed.
