The research literature suggests that social support moderates the harmful effects of stressful life events and helps to regulate an individual's mental and physical health. However, the author believes that conceptual and methodological flaws in the literature should lead mental health professionals to interpret and apply research findings with caution. She reviews and analyzes the major problems in the literature, including lack of clear definitions, lack of uniform and reliable assessment instruments, failure to consider negative and conflictual aspects of support relationships, and inattention to the confounding effects of life events, individual differences in needs, and environmental factors on social support.
研究文献表明，社会支持可缓和生活压力事件的有害影响，并有助于调节个体的身心健康。然而，作者认为，文献中的概念和方法缺陷应促使心理健康专业人员谨慎解读和应用研究结果。她回顾并分析了文献中的主要问题，包括缺乏明确的定义、缺乏统一且可靠的评估工具、未考虑支持关系中的消极和冲突方面，以及忽视生活事件、需求的个体差异和环境因素对社会支持的混杂影响。
