Three review articles (Dohrenwend and Egri 1981; Hammer 1981; Lin, Dean, and Ensel 1981) addressing various aspects of stress, social support, and schizophrenia are discussed. Phenomena so complex as these, involving simultaneously chemical, biological, physiological, social, and cultural systems, may require a different research paradigm than the simple unidirectional causal model used in most current studies. Perhaps a mutual causal paradigm will ultimately enhance our understanding by permitting more realistic assumptions about social processes. Three distinct network models are outlined: network as a set of links, network as generated structure, and flow network. Understanding of social support systems might be enhanced by the analysis of interpersonal resources in terms of categories discovered by Uriel and Edna Foa: love, status, information, services, goods, money. It is to be hoped that we will soon be able to work with methods and models that do not require oversimplifying assumptions.
本文讨论了三篇综述文章（多赫伦文德和埃格里，1981年；哈默，1981年；林、迪恩和恩塞尔，1981年），这些文章涉及压力、社会支持和精神分裂症的各个方面。像这些同时涉及化学、生物、生理、社会和文化系统的复杂现象，可能需要一种不同于当前大多数研究中使用的简单单向因果模型的研究范式。也许一种相互因果范式最终会通过允许对社会过程做出更现实的假设来增进我们的理解。文章概述了三种不同的网络模型：作为一组链接的网络、作为生成结构的网络和流动网络。通过根据乌列尔和埃德娜·福阿发现的类别（爱、地位、信息、服务、商品、金钱）来分析人际资源，可能会增进对社会支持系统的理解。希望我们很快就能使用不需要过度简化假设的方法和模型。
