人们的社交网络的客观特征进行了检查，认为在两个人群中的社会支持的可用性的决定因素：老年人（n= 50）和1岁的孩子（n= 71）的母亲。分别计算亲属和非亲属的网络成员数量和与网络成员接触的频率，作为孤独感、总体社会支持和韦斯（1974）提出的社会支持六个组成部分的预测因子。亲属被发现是更有效的提供者比nonkin的社会支持的某些方面。网络特征是更好的预测感知社会支持的老年人比母亲，但最大的30%的方差在感知社会支持是由于在任何一个样本的客观网络特征。建议未来的研究对感知的社会支持的决定因素考虑实际的人际行为，他们的背景和人格特征，影响促进和解释的支持行为。
Objective characteristics of people's social networks were examined as determinants of the perceived availability of social support in two populations: elderly adults (n= 50) and mothers of 1-year-olds (n= 71). Number of network members and frequency of contact with network members, computed separately for kin and nonkin were examined as predictors of loneliness, overall social support, and the six components of social support proposed by Weiss (1974). Kin were found to be more effective providers than nonkin of some aspects of social support. Network characteristics were better predictors of perceived social support for the elderly than for the mothers, but a maximum of 30% of the variance in perceived social support was attributable to the objective network characteristics in either sample. It is recommended that future research on the determinants of perceived social support consider actual interpersonal behaviors, their contexts, and personality characteristics that affect the facilitation and interpretation of supportive behaviors.
