Provider factors, such as anxiety, may be important in understanding effects of received social support (SS), which are less consistently positive than those of perceived SS. Due to the dyadic nature of support, anxiety on the part of the provider was predicted to influence the effectiveness of received SS. This laboratory study examined effects of SS provider anxiety within unacquainted dyads on cardiovascular reactivity during acute stress. 148 participants were assigned to support roles, and each dyad was randomized to low or high provider anxiety. Results include that SS provider anxiety resulted in greater blood pressure reactivity and less recovery toward baseline diastolic blood pressure within the dyad. Overall, it appears provider anxiety contributes to less effective SS for recipients and that health costs may accompany providing and receiving support under nonoptimal conditions.
提供者因素，如焦虑，可能是理解接受的社会支持（SS）的影响的重要因素，而接受的 SS 的影响并不像感知的 SS 那样一致。由于支持的对偶性质，预测提供者的焦虑会影响接受 SS 的有效性。这项实验室研究在急性应激期间，检查了支持提供者焦虑在不熟悉的对子中的影响对心血管反应性的影响。148 名参与者被分配到支持角色，每个对子都被随机分配到低或高提供者焦虑。结果表明，SS 提供者的焦虑导致了对子内血压反应性的增加和舒张压基线恢复的减少。总的来说，提供者的焦虑似乎会降低接受者的 SS 效果，并且在非最佳条件下提供和接受支持可能会带来健康成本。
