Role of Family and Social Support in Depression and Stress
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
The present study explored the influence of family (which is a part of a support network) and perception of social support in the regulation of stress experienced and depression. The sample consisted of 300 parents (150 husband and 150 wife) ages 40+/- 5 from Mizoram, India. The measures used were the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (Olsen & Portner, 1983), Social Support Questionnaire (Sarason et al, 1983), Depression Inventory (Beck et al, 1961) and Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983). Results indicated family adaptability and satisfaction with social support to be significantly negatively related to depression. Analyses of the interaction between the variables revealed a moderating role of family cohesion and satisfaction on depression and stress.
