Theoretical considerations as well as recent research suggest that the concept of social support, instead of being viewed solely as a stress buffer, should be seen as an important etiological factor in symptom development in its own right. Consequently, the present study set out to examine the influence of six personality factors, derived by a principal component analysis of the 16PF, on the relationship between social support and symptoms of psychological distress in a student sample (N = 139). The results indicated a significant interaction between extraversion and social support; extraverts showed a substantially heightened sensitivity to social support variations. This finding appears to emphasize the usefulness of an interactionist approach that integrates person and context variables for the prediction of psychological distress.
理论思考以及近期研究表明，社会支持的概念不应仅仅被视为一种压力缓冲，而应本身就被视作症状发展中的一个重要病因因素。因此，本研究着手考察通过对16种人格因素进行主成分分析得出的6种人格因素，对一个学生样本（N = 139）中社会支持与心理困扰症状之间关系的影响。结果显示外向性与社会支持之间存在显著交互作用；外向者对社会支持变化表现出显著更高的敏感性。这一发现似乎强调了一种将个体和情境变量整合起来用于预测心理困扰的交互作用方法的有效性。
