Dyadic coping responses and partners’ perceptions for couple satisfaction (2015, background): “A well-known theoretical model of support visibility (Bolger & Amarel, 2007), however, considers that both visible and invisible support may be beneficial for partners and their relationship, but its effects depend on the phase within the support process and the needs of the other.”
New Look at Social Support: A Theoretical Perspective on Thriving through Relationships (2014, background): “…(e.g., the mere presence of a significant other can reduce threat; Coan et al., 2006), or otherwise invisible (e.g., giving a partner time/space; Bolger & Amarel, 2007; Howland & Simpson, 2010), or (b) when support is necessary but not initially appreciated by the recipient (e.g., encouraging…”
How Gratitude Influences Well-Being: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach (2013, background): “Many studies have also found that individuals with high social support tend to use problem-focused coping strategies, whereas individuals with low social support tend to employ emotion-focused coping strategies (e.g., Bolger and Amarel 2007; Pakenham and Bursnall 2006).”
Toward understanding understanding : The importance of feeling understood in relationships (2017, neutral): “This idea can explain why people sometimes feel undermined by visible support — seemingly helpful support that implies personal inadequacy in one's ability to cope with a salient stressor (Bolger & Amarel, 2007; Rafaeli & Gleason, 2009).”
Social Support: A Review (2011, background): “Findings like these suggest that it is important to distinguish exactly when supportive eff orts from others may be benefi cial for mental and physical health and when they may not show these benefi ts (Bolger & Amarel, 2007 ). when is social support beneficial?”
Psychobiological Mechanisms Underlying the Social Buffering of the HPA Axis: A Review of Animal Models and Human Studies across Development (2013, background): “…so-called invisible support (reported by the provider but not the recipient) is more effective than support that is acknowledged by the recipient, presumably due to the emotional cost associated with receiving or needing support (N. Bolger & Amarel, 2007; N. Bolger, Zuckerman, & Kessler, 2000).”
Self-Efficacy and Resilience: Mediating Mechanisms in the Relationship Between the Transformational Leadership Dimensions and Well-Being (2019, background): “The authors argue that this occurs because explicit support implies inadequacy of the followers, or low self-efficacy, whereas when the support offered is less obvious, people are much less likely to perceive themselves as ineffective (Bolger & Amarel, 2007).”
Current Emotion Research in Social Psychology: Thinking About Emotions and Other People (2015, background): “…emotion regulation may help us to understand the links with related areas of research, such as social support seeking and receipt (e.g., Bolger & Amarel, 2007), corumination (e.g., Rose, Carlson, & Waller, 2007), and coregulation in romantic relationships (e.g., Butler & Randall, 2012).”
Stress reduction in the hospital room: Applying Ulrich's theory of supportive design (2015, background): “In a potentially unfamiliar and stressful environment, having the social support of others can ameliorate stress (Bolger & Amarel, 2007).”
Design of Experiments with Multiple Independent Variables: A Resource Management Perspective on Complete and Reduced Factorial Designs (2009, methodology): “For example, Bolger and Amarel (2007) could not have conducted a complete factorial experiment because some of the combinations of levels of the factors would have been illogical (e.”
Understanding the Links Between Social Support and Physical Health: A Life-Span Perspective With Emphasis on the Separability of Perceived and Received Support (2009, background): “Bolger and Amarel (2007) have termed this an anterogatory process (prior to seeking support) in contrast with a postrogatory process (after decision to seek support).”
Personal or Interpersonal Construal of Happiness: A Cultural Psychological Perspective (2012, background): “Similarly, invisible support might work better since it has not been shown to be harmful to self-esteem (Bolger & Amarel, 2007).”
