Health-Related Support and Self-help Mutual Aid Groups
The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (Pase) Questionnaire; Does It Predict Physical Health
A lack of physical activity is common in older adults. With the increasing Canadian senior population, identifying the minimum amount of physical activity required to maintain the health of older adults is essential. This study determined whether relationships existed between the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) questionnaire scores and health-related measurements in community-dwelling older adults who were meal delivery volunteers.…
Take This Job and Love It
Several job‐related and organizational features make the work of community‐based paid managers of volunteers distinctly different from conventional management practice. Based on self‐verification (Swann & Brown, 1990) and exchange (Blau, 1964) theories, we tested a multidimensional measurement model of support specific to these managers. The dimensions include support gained from their coworkers, volunteers, and supervisors, and from the prosocia…

Leisure-Like Pursuits as an Expression of Aboriginal Cultural Strengths and Living Actions
An Aboriginal-guided decolonizing methodology is employed in this study to examine the leisure-like lived experiences of urban-dwelling Metis and First Nations women and men living with diabetes (N = 42) in Winnipeg, Canada. Directed by the Aboriginal knowledge and world views to ensure cultural sensitivity and relevance, this methodology served as foreground for the voices of the Aboriginal study participants into three key themes of leisure-lik…
Types and Precipitants of Growth and Decline in Emerging Adulthood
To further explore central developmental themes of emerging adulthood, the authors conducted a study that combines qualitative and quantitative data about the types of personal growth and decline reported by a sample of emerging adults, who also described the life events and other experiences that brought about these personal changes. After completing a 42-item inventory of types of growth and decline, participants wrote descriptions of the life …

Social Support Measurement and Intervention
Surgery and pharmaceuticals are not the only effective procedures we have to improve our health. The natural human tendency to care for fellow humans, to support them with social networks, has proven to be a powerful treatment as well. As a result, the areas of application for social support intervention have expanded dramatically during the past 20 years. The title is divided into four sections. The first provides some historical context as well…
Social Relationships and Health
This chapter begins with a history of the theoretical perspectives on the importanceof social relationships for health and well-being.

The Mismeasure of Coping by Checklist
Hundreds of studies have now used standardized checklists to assess respondents' self reports of coping with naturally occurring stress. This article presents a critical review of the conceptual and methodological issues involved in the use of these checklists. As they are currently employed, conventional checklists render an incomplete and distorted portrait of coping. Specifically, these checklists are grounded in too narrow a conception of cop…
Content and domain specificity of coping among family caregivers of persons with dementia
A national demographic portrait of mutual aid group participants in Canada
Peer telephone dyads
Conclusion Through systematic study of intervention trials, which are as carefully crafted and as critically examined as the one reported here, we can gain new insights into ways of intentionally creating the interpersonal and environmental conditions conducive to the expression and acceptance of support. To plan appropriate and acceptable changes in the social ecology, we must develop a theory of the intervention, drawing on both the voluminous …
Using social support to protect and promote health
Assessing and Strengthening the Impact of Social Support on Mental Health
The author offers social workers a set of guidelines to assess the sources and types of social support that people use as first and direct lines of defense in coping with life events and chronic hardships and to highlight how these direct ties mediate people's access to other supportive peer relationships. He also suggests that social workers organize support groups and workshops both to assess and strengthen the role of network support in protec…
Social Support and the Study of Personal Relationships
The study of social support as a resource for resisting stress has been pursued independently of its role in the initiation and maintenance of personal relationships. Moreover, the tendency to define and measure support, like loneliness, in psychological rather than transactional terms will further limit knowledge about the conduct of close relationships. While psychological or perceived support is strongly coloured by personality variables and i…

The primary group as supportive milieu
The paper reviews evidence documenting the health-protective effects of the informal social support extended by kith, kin, and community gatekeepers. Noteworthy features of a classification scheme describing the substance of informal helping behaviors are reviewed. Implications for future research and action address: (a) the need for professionals to reexamine occasions for the provision of consultation and crisis-intervention services; (b) the p…
The development and application of a classification scheme of informal helping behaviours.
A classification scheme is presented composed of 26 helping behaviours which were empirically generated and reliably coded by a team of three judges, based on a content analysis of interview protocols. The protocols describe the types of informal social support provided to a sample of single mothers. The categories are organized into four main classes of influence and each category has been defined and illustrated with an example taken from the p…
The source, nature, and direction of work and family conflict
The authors examine the source, nature, and direction of work and family conflict. Confirmatory factor analysis of a 22-item scale suggested the appropriateness of distinguishing between strain-based and time-based conflict and between family interfering with work (FIW) and work interfering with family (WIF). Six-month longitudinal survey data (N = 236) suggested that strain-based FIW is a precursor to both stress and turnover intentions. Strain-…
