“…Factors associated with the larger social and cultural context of specific supportive interactions may affect support judgments as well (Badr et al, 2001). Ecologically oriented theories describing these factors complement rather than conflict with theories that describe cognitive, judgment, and perceptual processes, since both approaches to understanding social support challenge the notion that support perceptions are primarily determined by specific, objectively identifiable events (Procidano, 1997).…”

Social support is broad term encompassing a variety of constructs, including support perceptions (perceived support) and receipt of supportive behaviors (received support). Of these constructs, only perceived support has been regarded as consistently linked to health, and researchers have offered differing assessments of the strength of the received-perceived support relationship. An overall estimate of the received-perceived support relationship would clearly further the dialogue on the relationship between received and perceived support and thus assist in the theoretical development of the field. This study evaluated all available studies using the Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB; Barrera, Sandler, & Ramsey, 1981, American Journal of Community Psychology, 9, 435-447) and any measure of perceived social support. Using effect sizes from 23 studies, we found an average correlation of r = .35, p < .001. Implications of this estimate for further development of models of social support as well as interventions to enhance social support are discussed.

“…Components of an intervention to address these negative interpersonal characteristics associated with SC might include helping these individuals to reconceptualize relationships with critical and demanding others, modify negative biases in interpreting supportive behaviors, and improve social competence (42,72). The underlying premise in this intervention approach is that these cognitive and behavioural characteristics associated with SC are easier to modify than the personality trait itself (73,74) and could be appropriate targets in an intervention to treat SC individuals (12). …”

The present study extended previous findings demonstrating self-criticism, assessed by the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) (Weissman AN, Beck AT. Development and validation of the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale: a preliminary investigation. Paper presented at the 86th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 1978), as a potentially important prospective predictor of depressive symptoms and psychosocial functional impairment over time. Using data from a prospective, 4-year study of a clinical sample, DAS self-criticism and neuroticism were associated with self-report depressive symptoms, interviewer-rated major depression, and global domains of psychosocial functional impairment 4 years later. Hierarchical multiple regression results indicated that self-criticism uniquely predicted depressive symptoms, major depression, and global psychosocial impairment 4 years later over and above the Time 1 assessments of these outcomes and neuroticism. In contrast, neuroticism was a unique predictor of self-report depressive symptoms only 4 years later. Path analyses were used to test a preliminary 3-wave mediational model and demonstrated that negative perceptions of social support at 3 years mediated the relation between self-criticism and depression/global psychosocial impairment for 4 years.

“…In the expatriate adjustment literature, individual dispositions, such as personality, self-efficacy, and experience (e.g., Black, Mendenhall, & Oddou, 1991;Ones & Viswesvaran, 1997, 1999. as well as social factors, such as social support, social interactions, and organizational support (e.g., Aycan, 1997;Procidano & Smith, 1997;Wang, 2002;Wang & Kanungo, 2004) are found to have a significant correlation with the adjustment process.…”

This study investigates the work adjustment and job satisfaction of Filipino immigrants in Canada to explore the impact of self‐efficacy and perceived social support from different sources, such as other immigrant coworkers, Canadian‐born coworkers and management. The sample is composed of 142 Filipino immigrant employees. The results show that Filipino immigrant employees' work adjustment is significantly correlated with self‐efficacy and perceived support from peer immigrants and Canadian‐borns, while job satisfaction correlates with support from Canadian‐born coworkers and management only, and not with perceived support from peer immigrants and self‐efficacy. Whereas Filipino immigrant employees reported greater support from other immigrant coworkers, this source of support was not found to have any significantly higher correlation with work adjustment. The support from management, however, was found to have a significantly higher correlation with Filipino immigrant employees' job satisfaction than other sources. The implications of these findings are discussed. Résumé La présente étude examine l'adaptation au travail et la satisfaction professionnelle des immigrants philippins au Canada. Elle se propose d'explorer l'impact de l'auto‐efficacité et du soutien social perçu issu des autres sources, dont les autres collègues immigrants, les collègues canadiens de souche, et l'administration. L'échantillon comprend 142 employés immigrants d'origine philippine. Les résultats indiquent que l'adaptation au travail des employés immigrants philippins est en forte corrélation avec l'auto‐efficacité et le soutien qu'ils perçoivent chez les collègues immigrants et canadiens. De l'autre côté, la satisfaction professionnelle est en corrélation uniquement avec le soutien des collègues canadiens et de l'administration, et non avec le soutien perçu chez les collègues immigrants et l'auto‐efficacité. Bien que les employés immigrants philippins affirment bénéficier d'un grand soutien de la part des autres collègues immigrants, notre étude révèle que cette source de soutien n'est pas corrélée de façon significative avec l'ajustement au travail. Enfin, le soutien de l'administration se révèle avoir une plus forte corrélation avec la satisfaction professionnelle des employés immigrants philippins que les autres sources. Nous terminons notre étude en analysant les implications de ces résultats.
