The Role of Stress in the Social Support-Mental Health Relationship
Watkins, Kaitlin; Hill, Erin M.
Journal of College Counseling, v21 n2 p153-164 Jul 2018
This study examined the mediating effect of psychological stress in the relationship between social support and mental health symptomatology in undergraduate students. Participants (n = 368) completed measures of social support, psychological stress, and mental health symptomatology. Bootstrapping estimates of indirect effects indicated a significant influence of psychological stress in the relationship between social support and both anxiety and depression symptomatology. Implications for mental health promotion and treatment on college campuses are discussed.
