This prospective longitudinal study examined stress-mediating potentials of 3 types of social support: social embeddedness, perceived support from nonkin, and perceived support from kin. As participants in a statewide panel study, 222 older adults were interviewed once before and twice after a severe flood. It was hypothesized that disaster exposure (stress) would influence depression directly and indirectly, through deterioration of social support. LISREL analyses indicated that postdisaster declines in social embeddedness and nonkin support mediated the immediate and delayed impact of disaster stress. No evidence was found for the mediational role of kin support. Findings are in accord with conceptualizations of social support as an entity reflecting dynamic transactions among individuals, their social networks, and environmental pressures.
社会嵌入性、来自非亲属的感知支持和来自亲属的感知支持。作为一项全州范围小组研究的参与者，222名老年人在一场严重洪水发生前接受了一次访谈，洪水发生后接受了两次访谈。研究假设，灾难暴露（压力）会直接和间接地通过社会支持的恶化影响抑郁。LISREL分析表明，灾后社会嵌入性和非亲属支持的下降介导了灾难压力的即时和延迟影响。没有发现亲属支持具有中介作用的证据。研究结果与将社会支持概念化为反映个体、其社会网络和环境压力之间动态互动的实体的观点一致。
