METHODS: A total of 163 HIV-positive men participating in the AIDS Behavioral Research Project, a longitudinal study of San Francisco gay men, completed questio…
Determinants of Social Support Among Gay Men
In this study, the determinants of social support are examined among a probability sample of gay men residing in San Francisco. Using two waves of data (collected in 1985 and 1987), cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses focused on the effects of five sets of factors (demographic, community integration/network, AIDS-related loss, individual, and health) on satisfaction with three types of support (emotional, informational, and practical). Pers…
Social support, Aids-related symptoms, and depression among gay men.
Help‐seeking for Aids‐related concerns
Examined help-seeking and psychological distress among four groups of gay men (30 AIDS-diagnosed, 107 HIV-seropositive, 149 HIV-seronegative, 244 untested) in the AIDS Behavioral Research Project, a longitudinal survey of San Francisco gay men. The men reported high levels of anxiety, depression, and help-seeking from their social networks. AIDS-diagnosed and HIV-positives reported the most AIDS worry and were the most likely to seek help. High p…
The social support networks of gay men with Aids
Twenty-five gay men with AIDS were interviewed about their social support networks and completed a measure of psychological well-being. The networks were primarily composed of gay, male friends and usually contained one other person with AIDS (PWA). Network characteristics most highly correlated with psychological well-being included the degree to which the PWA felt he reciprocated support to network members, amount of emotional and informational…
The Day-to-Day Functioning of Close versus Casual Friendships
Sixty five undergraduates maintained daily records of their interactions with two same-sexed target friends (one casual friend and one close friend) for a one week period. Data concerned structural (e.g. time, location, initiator) and functional (e.g. degree to which various costs and benefits were experienced, perceived effect of the interaction) aspects of the interactions. Compared to casual friends, close friends were found to interact more f…
Social network development and functioning during a life transition
A 12-week longitudinal study of the development of social support networks among college freshmen is presented. Eighty-nine male and female students who lived either in university residence halls or at home with their parents completed a series of questionnaires in which they described their social networks while attending college and their adaptation to university life. In accord with an ecological view of social support, the structural and func…
A person–environment analysis of job stress
The contingency model of leadership was applied in a field study of job stress. Fifty-one university administrators completed a series of questionnaires that assessed their leadership style, degree of situational control within their work setting, perceived job stress, physical health, and psychological well-being. Multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) showed that administrators whose leadership style and level of situational control were "…
A person-environment analysis of job stress
A longitudinal study of friendship development
At 3-week intervals during their first term at the university, 84 male and female freshman completed questionnaires regarding their relationships with two same-sex individuals whom they had just met. Results showed that dyads which successfully developed into close friendships by the end of the fall school term differed behaviorally and attitudinally from dyads that did not progress. As the friendships developed, the intimacy level of dyadic inte…
The Development and Maintenance of Friendship
A behavioural examination of friendship development is presented. First, the construction of the Friend Observation Checklist (FOC), a self-report behaviour checklist for assessing friendship behavioural exchange, is described. Second, a twelve-week longitudinal study of friendship development is reported. Seventy male and female college students, who were just beginning their first term of school, used the FOC to track the behaviours occurring i…
