Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the types of stressors most common among University of Cincinnati students and to assess how available social support was to them, how helpful the social support they received was and how often they received social support. Furthermore, this study sought to determine if there was a correlation between college student2s stress levels and social support. The literature review revealed that the field of social support and stress had largely ignored examining such differences as race, age, gender and cultural differences. McGrath (2000) noted that one of the least nvestigated factors in social support and stress research, whether college age or any age, had been the role of gender differences in connection with dimensions, amounts, and sources of social support. The participants for the study were undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati during the Autumn quarter of 2001. Two instruments were used, the College Student Social Support Scale (CSSSS) and the Weekly Stress inventory. The researcher surveyed 421 students. After the data was collected the researcher analyzed data utilizing SPSS software. The students in this study, not only have similar stressors, but also had similar stress levels. The five most common stressors among all students at the University of Cincinnati were hurried to meet a deadline; being interrupted during a job, task, activity or thinking; had household chores; was told what to do; and forgetting something. This study showed most students on average had accessible and helpful social support networks and were able to access their social support networks frequently. The results from this study showed all student2s average of social support availability score to be 13-15 points higher then their frequency of social support score. The difference in scores could be because people have a hard time asking for help when they need it. Furthermore, it is possible that students were so busy they did not have enough time to always seek out help form their social support networks. Females reported higher social support accessibility scores found social support more helpful and used their social support networks more frequently then male students at the University of Cincinnati. This study found no significant correlation between student stress and social support scores.

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.

This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on adult personal-social networks has contributed greatly to an understanding of mental health, illness, and responses to stress. Fueled by this successful research and a growing concern for today's youth, the contributors to this volume have conducted investigations into the functioning and structures of the social networks of toddlers, school-age children, adolescents, and college students. The editors of this volume move beyond vague generalizations about characteristic and behavior acquisition through socialization in childhood by applying a longitudinal perspective to the sampling of child, adolescent, and young-adult network research. Social Networks of Children, Adolescents, and College Students unites several major empirical studies of children's social networks, investigating the acquisition of specific behaviors from particular groups of individuals under certain conditions. Topics covered include: * the effects of social networks on child development and disorder * the relationship between social networks and coping with stress the role of friends or groups in positive socialization * Of special interest to practitioners, researchers, and advanced students are: * comparative data on children from other cultural groups and non-mainstream American youths descriptions and evaluations of methodologies * introductory materials by the editors commenting on the field and the research extensive bibliographies

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in the relationship between optimism and social support both received and perceived on the social networking site, Facebook. College students (N=57) completed the LOT-R (Scheier, Carver & Bridges, 1994) and submitted genuine messages received on the website; these messages were then coded by participants and trained third-party coders for three measures of social support: emotional depth, emotional tone, and personal relevance. Results showed no correlation between optimism and online social support, with the exception of males and their perceptions of emotional tone. When receiving messages from other females, both genders perceived greater emotional depth than for male-sent messages, with female recipients perceiving the highest levels. Males also perceived their messages to be more personally relevant than females. These results imply that online social networking messages are not intimate and positive enough to their recipients to elicit associations with optimism levels. Still, it appears that some gender differences present in face-to-face social interactions also apply to online social networking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence to Young adulthood is an age of major transition, wherein college students face multiple challenges as they are exposed to various internal and external factors which can result in mental health issues (Herbert, 2013). When students follow maladaptive coping strategies for their mental health issues, it intensifies their problems. The lack of awareness and stigma for seeking professional help leads to development of negative attitude among students to seek professional and psychological help, therefore they prefer informal social support network. This study, Mental Health Issues, Coping Strategies and Social Support System among College Students is conducted with an objective to identify the prevalence of mental health issues among college students, to understand the effects of mental health issues on students‟ Academic Performance, to find out the Help Seeking Behaviour among college students for their Mental Health Issues, to identify the Coping Strategies and level of Coping among college students, to understand the Social Support System among students in the time of distress, to know how Mental Health Issues, Academic performance, Help seeking behavior, Coping Strategies and Social Support System impact each other among students, to develop a Mental Health Module for college students.
