This study investigates the effects of six types of social support on distress and posttraumatic stress disorders in security guards who did and did not encounter a critical incident. Three types of social support were significantly related to distress and posttraumatic stress disorder: emotional support in problem situations, instrumental support, and social companionship. Emotional support in problem situations paradoxically appeared to have an aggravating effect on distress and posttraumatic stress, whereas instrumental support and social companionship had a mitigating outcome.
本研究调查了六种社会支持类型对遭遇和未遭遇重大事件的保安人员的痛苦和创伤后应激障碍的影响。三种社会支持类型与痛苦和创伤后应激障碍显著相关：问题情境中的情感支持、工具性支持和社会陪伴。矛盾的是，问题情境中的情感支持似乎会加剧痛苦和创伤后应激，而工具性支持和社会陪伴则有缓解作用。
