Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the perception of the quality of support is more strongly related to health outcomes than the amount of contact with others. This means that the recipient's perception of the support they receive (whether it is perceived as helpful or not) is more important than the frequency of contact with others. The other options are incorrect; social support has a buffering effect on both men and women, the link between social support and better health outcomes has been found in multiple countries beyond the U.S. and Canada, and there are cases where well-intentioned social support can have unintended negative consequences.
