The stress-buffering effect of perceived support is explored in a large panel survey of adult female twins. The analysis begins by documenting a significant interaction between perceived support and acute stress in predicting DSM-III-R major depression. Various hypotheses are investigated to explain this interaction. These include the possibilities that the interaction is due to a stress-buffering effect of perceived support which is mediated by received support, that perceived support promotes either the increased use or the increased effectiveness of certain coping strategies, or that there is some underlying genetic factor that affects both the perception of support and adjustment to stress. No evidence was found for any of these hypotheses. The paper closes with a discussion of directions for future research aimed at explaining the interaction between perceived support and acute stress.
在一项针对成年女性双胞胎的大型面板调查中，研究了感知支持的压力缓冲效应。分析首先记录了在预测DSM-III-R重度抑郁症时，感知支持与急性压力之间存在显著的相互作用。研究了各种假设来解释这种相互作用。这些假设包括：这种相互作用是由于感知支持的压力缓冲效应，该效应由获得的支持介导；感知支持促进了某些应对策略的更多使用或更高有效性；或者存在某种潜在的遗传因素，既影响对支持的感知，又影响对应激的适应。没有找到支持这些假设的任何证据。本文最后讨论了未来研究的方向，旨在解释感知支持与急性压力之间的相互作用。
