假设社会支持、社会能力和社会联系可以预测男性和女性大学生自我报告的自尊和抑郁水平。具体来说，假设社会联系的更全局特征可以调节亲密关系中的社会支持和一般社会能力对抑郁和自尊测量的影响。中介模型在 272 名大学生样本中进行了测试。结构路径分析对于男性和女性都很好地支持了该模型。与从社会支持或社会能力到心理结果的直接途径相比，通过社会联系这一中介变量实现自尊和抑郁的间接途径得到了更强有力的支持。基于原始模型的发现，随后开发了一个替代模型来检验以下假设：社会联系和社会能力捕获了更广泛的基本结构，即一般社会福祉。修订后的模型的结果支持社会联系的概念化，与关系支持不同，但提出了关于其相对于一般社会能力的构建的独特性的问题。
Social support, social competence, and social connectedness were hypothesized to predict self-reported levels of self-esteem and depression for male and female college students. Specifically, the more global characteristic of social connectedness was hypothesized to mediate the effects of social support in close relationships and general social competence on measures of depression and self-esteem. The mediator model was tested in a sample of 272 college students. Structural path analyses supported the model well for both males and females. indirect paths to self-esteem and depression through the mediating variable of social connectedness were more strongly supported than direct pathways from social support or social competence to psychological outcomes. Based on findings from the original model, an alternative model was then developed to test the hypothesis that social connectedness and social competence capture a broader underlying construct, general social well-being. The results of the revised model support the conceptualization of social connectedness as distinct from relationship support, but raise questions regarding its uniqueness, relative to the construct of general social competence.
