Fifty primigravid fathers and mothers responded to an investigator-developed tool that measured social network characteristics and perceived social support during the third trimester of pregnancy. At six weeks postpartum, these same parents completed the Postpartum Self-evaluation Questionnaire (PSQ) (Lederman, Weingarten, & Lederman, 1981). Relationships among network factors, perceived support, and postpartum outcomes were documented for four of the seven PSQ scales. A greater percentage of relatives in the network and more overlap with the spouse's network were important factors associated with positive postpartum outcomes for men, but not for women. Emotional and instrumental support were important variables in explaining six-week postpartum outcomes, whereas information and appraisal support were not significant variables at this time. Men scored lower than women on the PSQ scale measuring confidence in ability to cope with the tasks of parenting.
五十对初为人父人母者对一份由研究者开发的工具做出了回应，该工具用于测量孕期第三个月的社交网络特征和感知到的社会支持。产后六周时，同样是这些父母完成了产后自我评估问卷（PSQ）（莱德曼、温加滕和莱德曼，1981年）。针对PSQ七个量表中的四个，记录了社交网络因素、感知到的支持与产后结果之间的关系。男性社交网络中亲属所占比例更高以及与配偶社交网络的重叠更多，是与积极产后结果相关的重要因素，但对女性而言并非如此。情感支持和工具性支持是解释产后六周结果的重要变量，而此时信息支持和评价支持并非显著变量。在衡量应对育儿任务能力信心的PSQ量表上，男性得分低于女性。
