This investigation of conjugal social support was based on 412 married respondents from a national sample of adults 50 years of age or older. A review of the literature yielded hypotheses concerning the exchange of three forms of support: emotional support, respect, and health-related support. Results showed that older respondents were least likely to provide each form of social support. These findings were reviewed in light of evidence for increased need for support in later life. The perceptual bases of social support were discussed in conjunction with the finding that women perceive less social support within marriage than men.
这项关于婚姻社会支持的调查基于从50岁及以上成年人全国样本中抽取的412名已婚受访者。对文献的回顾得出了关于三种支持形式交换的假设：情感支持、尊重和与健康相关的支持。结果显示，年龄较大的受访者提供每种社会支持形式的可能性最小。根据晚年对支持需求增加的证据对这些发现进行了审视。结合女性在婚姻中感受到的社会支持比男性少这一发现，讨论了社会支持的认知基础。
