The relationship between social support and depression has implications for researchers studying schizophrenia. In this article, the authors attempt to conceptualize social support and assess the reliability and validity of its various measures. They then evaluate the ability of social support, along with stressors, to explain psychiatric symptoms. Representative data from a community survey of adults, ages 17-70, suggest that social support measures show strong relationships to depression and other psychiatric symptoms. The implications of these and other findings for the study of schizophrenia are discussed.
社会支持与抑郁症之间的关系对研究精神分裂症的研究者具有启示意义。在本文中，作者试图对社会支持进行概念化，并评估其各种测量方法的可靠性和有效性。然后，他们评估社会支持与压力源一起解释精神症状的能力。一项针对17至70岁成年人的社区调查的代表性数据表明，社会支持测量方法与抑郁症及其他精神症状之间存在密切关系。本文还讨论了这些及其他研究结果对精神分裂症研究的启示。
