Social support and social network scales were reviewed from a psychometric perspective. A sample of 29 behavioral science studies were selected from social support and social network articles published between 1967 and 1982. Each study was classified according to psychometric issues of scaling, reliability, and validity. The review was motivated by the hypothesis that many social support and social network scales are developed without complete utilization of existing measurement technology. Results of this review confirm this hypothesis. Limited availability of basic psychometric data for such scales attenuates theory development and research efficiency. Researchers in this field are encouraged to increase the availability of basic psychometric information for social support and social network scales.
从心理测量学的角度对社会支持和社会网络量表进行了综述。从1967年至1982年发表的社会支持和社会网络文章中选取了29项行为科学研究作为样本。每项研究都根据量表编制、信度和效度等心理测量学问题进行了分类。此次综述的动机是基于这样一种假设，即许多社会支持和社会网络量表在开发时并未充分利用现有的测量技术。该综述的结果证实了这一假设。此类量表的基本心理测量数据有限，这削弱了理论发展和研究效率。鼓励该领域的研究人员增加社会支持和社会网络量表基本心理测量信息的可得性。
