“…Therefore, there is a suitable level of representativeness of every item in assessing the particular social support factor for which it was initially designed. Moreover, the correlations showed moderate values among the three factors, similar to those obtained in previous studies (Bugajski et al., 2019; Dahlem et al., 1991; Duru, 2007; Trejos-Herrera et al., 2018; Wittenborn et al., 2020; Wongpakaran et al., 2018; Zimet et al., 1988). Such values underpinned adequate theoretical divergence among the three specific sources of social support, as initially proposed by Zimet et al.…”

“…It has been tested on different age groups and across different cultural backgrounds and found to be a reliable and valid measure of perceived social support (Canty-Mitchell & Zimet, 2000; Clara et al., 2003; Ramaswamy et al., 2009). MSPSS strengths include: (a) brevity – with only 12 items, four for each source of social support (MSPSS is not time-consuming and can be used in conjunction with other instruments when a study is designed to capture a broader range of variables); (b) readability – according to Canty-Mitchell and Zimet (2000), MSPSS items are easy to understand requiring only a fourth-grade reading level; (c) freedom from a social desirability response bias in that two studies (Dahlem et al., 1991; Kazarian & McCabe, 1991) reported negligible correlations between MSPSS and scores from the well-known Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale; and (d) well-established psychometric properties with community samples of adolescents (Canty-Mitchell & Zimet, 2000; Laksmita et al., 2020; Ramaswamy et al., 2009; Zimet et al., 1990), college students (Dahlem et al., 1991; Duru, 2007; Zimet et al., 1988), healthy participants (Rizwan & Aftab, 2009), unhealthy participants (Bugajski et al., 2019; Wittenborn et al., 2020) and adults, and older people (Wongpakaran et al., 2018). However, it should also be underscored that some studies indicated the need to correlate three (Wongpakaran et al., 2018) or four (Trejos-Herrera et al., 2018) pairs of errors among items in order to obtain a good fit of the MSPSS.…”

Measuring Perceived Social Support in Elite Athletes: Psychometric Properties of the Romanian Version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support

The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) is a brief measure designed to capture individuals’ perceptions of the support received from their social networks. It has been translated into several languages and adapted for various cultural contexts. The aim of this study was to evaluate psychometric properties of the Romanian version of the MSPSS, using a sample of young elite athletes. To assess its validity and reliability, 282 Romanian elite athletes (176 males, 106 females; 19 – 25 years old) completed the MSPSS together with questionnaires measuring life satisfaction, negative emotional disposition, and perceived stress. A confirmatory factor analysis underpinned a 12-item three-factor correlated model that was invariant over gender. Cronbach’s alpha and Raykov’s composite reliability coefficients together with average variance extracted showed adequate values for each factor. Correlational analysis displayed that three sources of social support positively correlated with life satisfaction and negative emotional disposition and negatively correlated with perceived stress. Altogether, the MSPSS is a valid and reliable short measure for Romanian elite athletes to explore perceived social support from their family, friends, or significant others.

Purpose This study compared predictors of passive suicidal ideation (SI), active SI, and suicide attempt (SA) among elderly Thai patients in tertiary care settings. Patients and Methods Psychiatric diagnoses and suicidality of 803 older people were assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR. All participants completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS), 15-item Thai geriatric depression scale (TGDS-15), 10-item perceived social scale and the Core Symptoms Index. The chi-square test, t -test and ANOVA were used for bivariate analysis of predictors of specific suicidality types. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the predictors for each type of suicidality. Results The patients’ mean age was 69.24 ± 6.90 years, and the majority were female (69.74%). Passive SI, active SI and SA were found among 20.42%, 3.74% and 2.37%, respectively, of the patients. Major depressive disorder (MDD) was a predictor of both passive and active SI (OR = 2.06 and 3.74, respectively). Other predictors of passive SI included hypomania (OR = 8.27) and positive score on the TGDS-15 (OR = 1.29). Predictors of active SI included agoraphobia (OR = 6.84) and hypomania (OR = 7.10). Predictors of SA included a family history of alcohol dependence (OR = 14.16), a history of depression (OR = 4.78) and agoraphobia (OR = 19.89). Surprisingly, hypertension and self-reported anxiety symptoms were protective factors for passive SI (OR = 0.51 and 0.85, respectively). Likewise, MSPSS was a protective factor for SA (OR = 0.90). Conclusion Predictors of each type of suicidality differed. MDD was the main predictor for SI; however, agoraphobia and poor perceived social support were more pronounced among individuals with SA. Further investigation, especially in longitudinal fashion, should be warranted.

Long-term care for older people with dementia can adversely impact a family caregiver's life. A decrease in their quality of life may compromise the quality of care they provide to older people and their own quality of life. The samples include 76 family caregivers of older people with dementia in Thailand. Six questionnaires and the EuroQoL Five Dimensions Questionnaire were used in data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. The findings revealed that quality

Abstract: Due to its robust factor structure, these data support the use of the revised MSPSS as a brief instrument for assessing perceived social support in the elderly with or without depressive disorders.
