关于不同网络成员之间的支持性和咨询性服务分工，有大量的实证研究。然而，社会支持网络结构的原则仍然没有得到很好的理解。Cantor（1979）和Shanas（1979）的等级补偿模型和Litwak（1985）的任务特定模型是解释支持群体选择的较突出的公式。我们认为前者是后者的一个特例。这两种模式的主要概念特征在这里进行了总结，其次是定性审查的16个关键的实证研究加上元分析，以证明更广泛的应用特定任务的模型。
There is considerable empirical research on the division of supportive and caregiving services among different network members. Yet the principles that govern the configuration of social support networks are still not well understood. Cantor's (1979) and Shanas' (1979) hierarchical-compensatory model and Litwak's (1985) task-specific model are among the more prominent formulations for explaining the choice of support groups. We propose that the former model is a special case of the latter one. The major conceptual features of both models are summarized here, followed by a qualitative review of 16 key empirical studies coupled with a meta-analysis to demonstrate the broader application of the task-specific model.
