Research has shown that perceived social support can help buffer the negative effects of stress. Therefore, if Leo perceives more social support available from his wife and others, he is less likely to experience high levels of stress. Being unmarried (A) may increase feelings of isolation and lack of support. If Leo's wife tries to protect him from the reality of his illness (B), he may feel unsupported and unable to cope with the situation.
