Definitions and concepts of social support are reviewed in an attempt to develop a theoretical structure for future research. Fourteen techniques for measuring social support are assessed to ascertain the degree to which they reflect common theoretical elements. A paradigm that should help to focus research efforts on the construction of a systematic knowledge base about social support is proposed.
回顾了社会支持的定义和概念，试图为未来的研究建立一个理论框架。评估了14种测量社会支持的方法，以确定它们在多大程度上反映了共同的理论要素。提出了一个范式，该范式应有助于将研究工作集中于构建一个关于社会支持的系统知识库。
