“…Social support in the process of coping with SCI is significant (10). Several studies show that more social support is related to PTG (11)(12)(13) and life satisfaction (14,15). Social support is defined as the process of interaction in relationships, which improves coping, esteem, respect, love, belonging through actual or perceived exchanges of physical or psychosocial resources, which can reduce the pressure on people (15).…”

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a type of chronic disease with physical and psychological effects on the individual's life. The disease can have a devastating effect on the life and well-being of patients with SCI. The current study aimed at investigating the role of social support, life meaningfulness, and centrality of religiosity in posttraumatic growth and life satisfaction of people with SCI. Methods: The current study was conducted on 157 subjects with SCI selected by convenience sampling method in the Welfare Organization of Khorramabad city, Iran in 2016. The subjects completed the centrality of religiosity scale, the posttraumatic growth inventory, satisfaction with life scale, the meaning in life questionnaire (short-form), and multidimensional scale of perceived social support. Data were analyzed with stepwise regression method (F test and t test). Results: The obtained results indicated that the most important predictor of posttraumatic growth was family support and the most important predictor of life satisfaction was friends support. In sum, all predictor variables explained 62% of posttraumatic growth and 38% of life satisfaction. Conclusions: The current study findings showed that social support, meaningfulness, and religious believes can help people with SCI to adapt with problems related to their illness.

“…Of relevance to the present study, there is wealth of research emphasizing the importance of social support during adolescence and emerging adulthood (e.g., Arnett, 2000;DuBois et al, 2002;Pettit et al 2011;Zhou & Lin, 2016). For example, Zhou and Lin (2016) recently found that social support played a moderating role in the relationship between adaptability and life support among adolescents. More specifically, researchers illustrated that social support was able to strengthen the nature of the observed relationships and positive outcomes.…”

“…Beyond serving as a buffer against the adverse effects of negative experiences, there is also evidence suggesting that social support may enhance the benefits of factors that are associated with positive outcomes (Cohen & Wills, 1985). For example, Zhou and Lin (2016) recently demonstrated that social support moderated the association between adaptability and life satisfaction, despite the absence of a stressor. In a sample of first year university students transitioning from high school to post-secondary studies, it was found that higher levels of perceived social support strengthened the positive relationship between adaptability and life satisfaction, in comparison to students who experienced lower levels of social support (Zhou & Lin, 2016).…”

“…For individuals who were highly adaptable, and who also received increased levels of social support from their environment, their ability integrate their personal and external resources was strengthened. This effect was reflected through the finding that the relationship between adaptability and life satisfaction is stronger for those with greater levels of perceived social support (Zhou & Lin, 2016).…”

The goal of the current study was to explore the early antecedents of three facets of work life quality: job satisfaction, income satisfaction, and leadership emergence. Using Statistics Canada's Youth in Transition Survey (YITS), the role of early leadership experiences, nurturing parenting, and parental work experiences on quality of work life was examined in two samples of Canadian youth followed between the ages of 15-25: (1) youth whose highest level of education was high-school or below, and (2) youth who pursued education at the post-secondary level.Overall, results supported the notion that early experiences and educational pathways play a role in shaping work life quality across the lifespan. While exposure to leadership in adolescence was associated with a young adult's later emergence into leadership roles, nurturing parenting and social support held distinct implications for a young person's entry to the world of work. Results have implications for research and practice.
