The Neurobiology of Giving Versus Receiving Support

Abstract: Objectives There is a strong association between supportive ties and health. However most research has focused on the health benefits that come from the support one receives while largely ignoring the support giver and how giving may contribute to good health. Moreover, few studies have examined the neural mechanisms associated with support giving or how giving support compares to receiving support. Method The current study assessed the relationships: 1) between self-reported receiving and giving social supp… Show more

“…Indeed, it has been proposed that less activity in these regions in response to targets in need may facilitate social approach, allowing an individual to nurture and care for them ( Brown & Brown, 2006 ; Numan, 2007 ; Preston, 2013 ; Inagaki & Orehek, 2017 ; Inagaki, 2018 ). In support of this hypothesis, greater self-reports of giving support to others in need are associated with less activity in the DACC, AI and amygdala to negative emotional social cues, including negative facial expressions ( Inagaki et al, 2016 ; Inagaki & Ross, 2018 ). Relatedly, those suffering from social anxiety, a disorder characterized by reduced social approach, show greater activity in the DACC, AI and amygdala to negative emotional social cues (relative to non-anxious or less anxious groups; Amir et al, 2005 ; Phan et al, 2006 ; Stein et al, 2007 ).…”

“…Therefore, our findings suggest that living without a spouse could affect disability onset, partially due to lack of opportunities for support provision particularly in men. However, further research is necessary to examine the effect of social support provision and its pathways to functional disability, as the studies in this area are few [ 42 ].…”
