这项研究测试了敏感互动系统理论，考察了艾滋病毒携带者在与同伴和父母的关系中寻求和接受社会支持的方式，以及不同类型的支持接受行为与抑郁症状之间的关联。参与者是弗吉尼亚州东南部的艾滋病毒携带者，他们完成了一份自我管理的问卷，内容是他们与父母、亲密伴侣和亲密朋友的关系。参与者报告说，与朋友和亲密伴侣一起比与父母一起更多地使用询问行为(寻求支持的一种直接形式)。他们还报告说，他们从朋友和亲密伴侣那里得到的接近(解决/解决)形式的支持比从父母那里得到的更多，从亲密朋友那里得到的回避(逃避/拒绝)比从父母那里得到的少。作为一种寻求支持的行为，提问最有可能与所有类型的关系伙伴提供的支持的方式形式有关。父母、亲密伴侣或朋友的回避与抑郁症状呈正相关。咨询师应该与来访者讨论社会支持的过程，以及不同形式的支持是如何寻求和解决的。在应对艾滋病毒方面，提供支持或多或少是有用的。
This study tested sensitive interaction systems theory, and examined how persons with HIV seek and receive social support in relationships with peers versus parents and the association between different kinds of support-receiving behaviors and depressive symptoms. The participants were men and women with HIV in southeastern Virginia who completed a self-administered questionnaire about their relations with parents, an intimate partner, and a close friend. Participants reported using more Ask behaviors (a direct form of support seeking) with a friend and an intimate partner than with parents. They also reported receiving more Approach (Solve/Solace) forms of support from a friend and an intimate partner than from parents and less Avoidance (Escape/Dismiss) from a close friend than from parents. As a support-seeking behavior Ask was most likely to be associated with Approach forms of support providing from all types of relationship partners. Avoidance from parents, an intimate partner, or a friend was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Counselors should discuss with clients the social support process and how different forms of support seeking and. support providing may be more or less useful in coping with HIV.
