Support in marriage: Factors associated with on-line perceptions of support helpfulness
Article Abstract:
A study looked at whether proximal factors or distal factors influenced a spouse's experience of feeling supported during a couple's interaction. The findings indicate that those that receive support actively evaluate their partners' supportive communication, consistent with previous research on interpersonal perception. Global evaluations of the marriage are likely to have an effect on the extent to when support communications are seen as helpful, particularly in the case of men.
