Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that just perceiving the availability of a social support network can be helpful in reducing stress levels. This means that individuals don't necessarily need specific assistance or direct support from their network to experience the benefits of social support. Option A is incorrect because while specific assistance can be helpful, it is not always necessary. Option B is incorrect because indirect support (such as receiving advice or encouragement from a friend who is not physically present) can also be beneficial. Option D is incorrect because there is no evidence to suggest that Type-A personalities benefit more from support networks than other personality types.
