Measuring social support: a synthesis of current approaches.

J G Bruhn, B U Philips.   

Abstract

Definitions and concepts of social support are reviewed in an attempt to develop a theoretical structure for future research. Fourteen techniques for measuring social support are assessed to ascertain the degree to which they reflect common theoretical elements. A paradigm that should help to focus research efforts on the construction of a systematic knowledge base about social support is proposed.
