This book was released on 2015 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the stress-buffering effect of social support on the relations between stress from daily hassles and psychological adjustment. Daily hassles have been associated with various indicators of maladjustment including anxiety and depression. Previous research has identified the stress-buffering effect of social support such that perceived social support moderates the relations between experiencing stress and negative outcomes. This has been established for various forms of stress but has not been extensively explored for daily hassles. This study analyzed the potential moderating effect of social support from parents, teachers, and classmates on the association between perceived daily hassles and symptoms of anxiety and depression within a high-school population. The examination found that daily hassle stress was significantly associated with anxiety and depression. For anxiety, no sources of support moderated the relation between stress and internalizing symptoms. When analyzing depression, only classmate support buffered the relation between daily hassle stress and depression.

Download or read book Arenas of Comfort in Adolescence written by Jeylan T. Mortimer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time when the social world expands, a time of increasing engagement beyond the family sphere to the school, the peer group, and the workplace. These contexts may present experiences that differ greatly in their tone and content, either contributing to or hindering satisfaction and a positive sense of self. This book examines how the constellation of stressors and rewards in various life domains influences adolescent adjustment. The theoretical framework is Simmons' "arena of comfort": a context for individuals to relax and to rejuvenate, so that potentially stressful changes and experiences in another arena can be endured or mastered. The concept of the arena of comfort highlights the adolescent's active role in the developmental process, as young people seek out and alternate between contexts that provide challenge and those that provide solace. By providing social support, a comfort arena strengthens the young person so that challenges in other life spheres can be dealt with. This book uses data from 1,000 adolescents to address key questions derived from the "arena of comfort" thesis: In which arenas of their lives do adolescents typically find comfort? Does the experience of comfort differ by gender, socioeconomic level, and other dimensions of social background? Do sources of comfort change as the adolescent moves through high school? Do adolescents typically find comfort in just one or two or in several arenas? Where are they most likely to experience this positive, comfortable state? Are adolescents who find comfort in a greater number of arenas better off, in terms of their mental health and achievement, than those who are comfortable in fewer contexts? Are some arenas more consequential for adolescent adjustment than others? Can an arena of comfort in one setting, in fact, buffer the effects of stressful experiences in another context? The results of this research indicate that making adolescents' contexts more supportive and comfortable will be reflected in improved mental health and achievement. This book will be of interest to all practitioners and researchers concerned with the mental health of adolescents.
Download or read book Stress Coping and Relationships in Adolescence written by Inge Seiffge-Krenke and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique and comprehensive, this volume integrates the most updated theory and research relating to adolescent coping and its determinants. This book is the result of the author's long interest in, and study of, stress, coping, and relationships in adolescence. It begins with an overview of research conducted during the past three decades and contrasts research trends in adolescent coping in the United States and Europe over time. Grounded on a developmental model for adolescent coping, the conceptual issues and major questions are outlined. Supporting research ties together the types of stressors, the ways of coping with normative and non-normative stressors, and the function that close relationships fulfill in this context. More than 3,000 adolescents from different countries participated in seven studies that are built programmatically on one another and focus on properties that make events stressful, on coping processes and coping styles, on internal and social resources, and on stress-buffering and adaptation. A variety of assessment procedures for measuring stress and coping are presented, including semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and content analysis. This multimethod-multivariate approach is characterized by assessing the same construct via different methods, replicating the measures in different studies including cross-cultural samples, using several informants, and combining standardized instruments with very open data gathering. The results offer a rich picture of the nature of stressors requiring adolescent coping and highlight the importance of relationship stressors. Age and gender differences in stress appraisal and coping style are also presented. Mid-adolescence emerges as a turning point in the use of certain coping strategies and social resources. Strong gender differences in stress appraisal and coping style suggest that females are more at risk for developing psychopathology. The book demonstrates how adolescents make use of assistance provided by social support systems and points to the changing influence of parents and peers. It addresses controversial issues such as benefits and costs of close relationships or the beneficial or maladaptive effects of avoidant coping. Its clear style, innovative ideas, and instruments make it an excellent textbook for both introductory and advanced courses. Without question, it may serve as a guide for future research in this field. This book will be of value to researchers, practitioners, and students in various fields such as child clinical and developmental psychology and psychopathology.

Abstract: The present study aims to investigate whether online social support could function in the same way as the offline social support to protect our well-being from stress, and to examine how different Internet activities affected Hong Kong adolescents' online and offline social support, and their subsequent well-being.305 Hong Kong students from grade 10 and 11 participated in the present study. Descriptive statistics found that female adolescents had a higher level of perceived offline social support than male adolescents. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to test the buffering effect of both perceived offline and online social support on the relationship between stress and anxiety. Results found that perceived online social support could not buffer stress for Hong Kong adolescents. The buffering effect of perceived offline social support was only found in female adolescents. On the other hand, present results suggested that the actual impact of Internet depended on the types of Internet activities and their corresponding impact on offline and online social support. Implications on the importance of offline social support, gender difference on reactions towards social support and education on Internet usage were discussed.

Download or read book Social Support Compensation and Internalizing Symptoms During Adolescence written by Kelly Marie Lyell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study sought to add to the social support literature by examining the relationship between adolescent perceptions of social support from different support sources and internalizing symptoms. More specifically, the present study investigated stress-buffering and compensation effects of social support from mothers, fathers, classmates, and close friends related to internalizing symptoms at the middle school level. The primary question guiding this study was: Does social support from one source moderate support from another source when predicting internalizing symptoms? The results were examined specifically to determine if support from one source can compensate for a lack of support from another source. A secondary question was: How does this effect vary by gender or levels of stress? The specific goals of this study were to: (1) examine the relationship between social support from different sources and internalizing symptoms; (2) examine the potential for social support from one source to moderate support from another source when predicting internalizing symptoms; (3) examine the potential for social support from one source to moderate support from another source at different levels of stress when predicting internalizing symptoms.

Book excerpt: Consistent with a life course and social contextual approach, this study proposes a reciprocal relationship between stressful life events and emotional distress during the transition from adolescence to early adulthood. Study predictions included continuity of events and distress, and reciprocal causation between events and distress. SEM analysis of longitudinal, prospective data from 526 white, rural targets largely supported study expectations. Stressful events and distress showed stability over time, and a degree of reciprocity between events and distress was observed. At each of three time points, stressful events predicted psychological distress, and psychological distress at mid- and late-adolescence predicted events at early adulthood. Possible direct and buffering effects of resource were also examined, including, financial, self-concept, and social support. Analysis of resource models revealed a direct and buffering influence of financial resources.

Download or read book Social Support Across Source and Context written by Shu-Sha Angie Guan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social relationships have great implications for well-being. Positive interpersonal exchanges, such as social support, can be beneficial in buffering the detrimental effects of distress on physiological systems (neuroendocrine, immune, cardiovascular) implicated in the development of chronic diseases. However, characteristics of the support recipient (age, culture), provider (parent vs. peers, Study 1), and context (face-to-face vs. computer-mediated, Study 2) may play a role in shaping the effects of support. The studies in this dissertation examined these factors. Study 1 examined how social support from parents and friends differentially moderated the association between depressive symptoms, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and inflammation among adolescents (N = 316, Mage = 16.40, SD = .74; 57% female) from diverse backgrounds (23.1% Asian, 29.1% European, 41.8% Latino, and 6.0% other). Results indicated that parent support, but not friend support, moderated the link of depressive symptoms to both total daily cortisol output (a measure of neuroendocrine, HPA activity) and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease risk). These patterns did not differ by ethnicity. Overall, Study 1 highlights the continued, and perhaps accumulated, importance of parents despite increasing needs for autonomy from and exploration outside of the family unit during adolescence. Study 2 examined how computer-mediated support relative to face-to-face support differentially affects stress reactivity among young adult females (N=103; Mage=19.91, SD=1.91) from Asian (n = 59) compared to non-Asian backgrounds (e.g., African American, European American, Latino, mixed-heritage, n = 44). Participants who received support from a friend through instant messenger before a stressful lab task reported less state anxiety afterward compared to those who did not receive support. Additionally, HPA reactivity across conditions was moderated by ethnicity. Specifically, participants from non-Asian backgrounds who received support face-to-face exhibited less cortisol output throughout the study session compared to their counterparts who received support through instant messenger or not at all. There were no significant differences in cortisol output across all conditions for Asian Americans and no differences were observed for cardiovascular reactivity (heart rate, blood pressure) for all participants. So although new technologies are providing new contexts for social connection, cultural differences in response to in-person support may be reproduced in digital mediums.
