本研究考察了神经质和性别相互作用对社会支持感知可得性的影响程度。366名参与者完成了评估感知社会支持和个性的测试。相关分析和层次回归分析表明，这两个维度相互作用，以预测感知支持。也就是说，在低水平的神经质中，女性，相对于男性，报告了更大的总体支持，以及更大的评价支持。然而，随着神经质水平的增加，感知社会支持的测量在女性和男性之间趋同，因此在神经质的最高水平上，一般感知社会支持或评价支持没有性别差异。这些发现可能有助于解决文献中关于神经质与感知到的社会支持之间关系的一些不一致之处。
This study examined the degree to which neuroticism and gender interact to influence the perceived availability of social support. Three-hundred and sixty-six participants completed measures assessing perceived social support and personality. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses showed that these two dimensions interacted to predict perceived support. That is, at low levels of neuroticism, females, relative to males, reported greater overall support, and greater appraisal support. However, as neuroticism levels increased, measures of perceived social support converged for females and males, such that at the highest levels of neuroticism, there were no gender differences in general perceived social support or appraisal support. These findings may help to address some of the inconsistencies that have been reported in the literature concerning the relationship between neuroticism and perceived availability of social support.
