对从大学新生大样本中收集的数据进行横断面分析，以确定（a）感知到的社会支持是否可以保护人们免受压力诱发的抑郁情绪；（b）社交能力、社交焦虑和自我表露是否是感知到的社会支持的压力保护作用的原因； (c) 这些社交技能措施是否会歧视那些在面对压力时支持会有所帮助、阻碍或无效的人。基于原始测试（学年开始）以及随机选择的子样本的 11 周和 22 周随访的前瞻性分析被用来确定相同的社交技能因素如何影响支持观念和友谊的发展和维持。有证据表明社会支持的感知可用性具有压力缓冲作用。压力缓冲效应不受社交焦虑、社交能力和自我表露可能产生的压力保护影响的控制的影响。尽管这些社交技能因素不会区分支持会有所帮助、阻碍或无效的人，但它们可以前瞻性地预测社会支持和友谊形成的发展。社交技能与社会支持感知可用性之间的这些预期关系仅部分由朋友数量调节。
Cross-sectional analyses of data collected from a large sample of incoming college freshmen were used to determine (a) whether the perceived availability of social support protects persons from stress-induced depressive affect;(b) whether social competence, social anxiety, and self-disclosure are responsible for the stress-protective effect of perceived social support; and (c) whether these social skill measures discriminate among persons for whom support will help, hinder, or be ineffective in the face of stress. Prospective analyses based on the original testing (beginning of school year) and 11-and 22-week follow-ups of a randomly selected subsample were used to determine how the same social skill factors influence the development and maintenance of support perceptions and of friendships. Evidence is provided for a stress-buffering role of the perceived availability of social support. The stress-buffering effect is unaffected by controls for the possible stress-protective influences of social anxiety, social competence, and self-disclosure. Although these social skill factors do not discriminate among persons for whom support will help, hinder, or be ineffective, they are prospectively predictive of the development of both social support and friendship formation. These prospective relations between social skills and the development of perceived availability of social support are only partly mediated by number of friends.
