“…Instead, it may take a certain kind of individual with a particular kind of values and a positive social outlook -someone high on stimulation and 'fun', and with a warm, benevolent character-to form a large and active social network. Such findings help underline the vexed relationship between individual and cultural levels of analysis, currently a matter of some debate in the cross-cultural literature (Goodwin & Giles, 2003;Smith, 2002).…”

Recent research on social support has suggested that there may be only a weak correlation between perceived and received (enacted) support, with the former best seen as a stable, personality-like trait. This study investigates the relationship between individual values, self-esteem and perceived and received support, with samples taken from four nations (the UK, Portugal, Ghana and Mozambique). Respondents completed Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire (Schwartz, Melech, Lehmann, Burgess, & Harris, 2001) and measures of self-esteem and perceived and received support. The values explained more than twice the variance for perceived compared with received support, with those scoring high on stimulation, hedonism and benevolence, and low on tradition, conformity and security, reporting greater perceived support. In path analyses, values significantly predicted perceived support and perceived support predicted self-esteem, but there was no direct relationship between values and self-esteem. These findings are discussed in the light of current debates on the role of values in the promotion of prosocial behaviour.

“…report that Indonesia had the least individualistic culture of the nine nations assessed . Although both studies derive from the 1980s, nowadays Indonesian people still have a culture of taking care of each other . If someone is in hospital, all close family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues will visit and help the patient continuously.…”

Hospitalized patients with cancer in Indonesia felt that most of their symptoms and issues had been addressed, and the family was highly involved. The strong family ties in Indonesian culture may have contributed to this family role. More research is needed to clarify how this influences patient outcome, quality of care, and quality of life of both the patients and their families, along with the degree of partnership between families and professionals. This information might help answer the question what advantages and disadvantages the family role in caring for a hospitalized patient with cancer generates for the patient, the family, and professional caregivers.

“…Otras áreas de estudio respecto a las influencias culturales han sido la percepción del apoyo (O'Leary, Murphy y Chen, 2009), la provisión del mismo (Goodwin y Giles, 2003), o la capacidad funcional de distintas fuentes de apoyo en personas pertenecientes a distintas culturas (Brannan, Biswas-Dienerb, Mohrb, Mortazavic y Steinb, 2013).…”

Implicaciones de la edad y el país de pertenencia en la relación entre apoyo emocional percibido y depresión: un estudio transcultural Resumen: En el presente trabajo nos proponemos profundizar en el estudio de las implicaciones que la edad y los factores de tipo cultural asociados a la nacionalidad, puedan presentar respecto a la relación entre apoyo social y depresión. Con este objetivo, se ha entrevistado a una muestra total de 1503 personas de edad adulta (jóvenes, adultos y personas de edad avanzada) pertenecientes a España, Cuba y México. Para la evaluación de la depresión, se ha empleado el cuestionario CES-D, mientras que para la evaluación del apoyo emocional percibido y la satisfacción con el mismo, se aplicó un modelo estructurado de autoinforme elaborado por nosotros en el que se recoge la percepción de disponibilidad de apoyo emocional en diferentes fuentes (pareja, familiares, amigos, compañeros, vecinos) y la satisfacción con el mismo. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la relación obtenida entre apoyo emocional percibido según distintas fuentes y los valores en sintomatología depresiva está sujeta a variaciones en función de las influencias culturales asociadas al país de pertenencia de los sujetos entrevistados, y a su edad, así como a la interacción entre ambas variables.
