Perceived social support, coping, and symptoms of distress in American and Spanish students (2006, background): “…health is an important mission not only from a theoretical perspective, but also because it has practical implications for clinical and community interventions designed to increase support and improve coping for individuals facing stressful circumstances (Cohen et al., 2001; Lakey et al., 2002).”
The relationship between self-reported received and perceived social support: A meta-analytic review (2007, unknown): “…have obtained relatively weak correlations between received and perceived support, leading to contentions in the literature that these constructs are only ‘‘mildly’’ related (Barrera, 1986), or that received and perceived support measures are ‘‘typically’’ related at below .3 (Lakey et al., 2002).”
Relational regulation theory: a new approach to explain the link between perceived social support and mental health. (2011, background): “Perceived similarities between recipients and providers in attitudes, values, and life experiences are among the strongest markers of provider supportiveness (Lakey et al., 2002; Lakey, Ross, Butler, & Bentley, 1996; Suitor, Pillemer, & Keeton, 1995; Westmaas & Cohen Silver, 2006).”
Challenges in conceptualizing social support (2009, background): “Researchers who study perceived support similarly note that people who believe support is available to them tend to experience less stress than do those who do not (Lakey et al., 2002; Wethington & Kessler, 1986).”
How was your day? Couples’ affect when telling and hearing daily events (2008, background): “Both experimental and naturalistic studies have demonstrated that disclosing problems to social partners in the context of support seeking is associated with reduced negative affect and cardiovascular reactivity to stress (e.g., Christenfeld et al., 1997; Fontana, Diegman, Villeneuve, & Lepore, 1999”
Perceived social support, received social support, and depression among clergy (2019, result): “These findings are consistent with previous studies that report weak and variable associations between received social support and depression/depressive symptoms (Kaul & Lakey, 2003; Lakey et al., 2002; Lakey & Cronin, 2008).”
