Thesis (Ph.D.)--Temple University, 1988.

A meta-analysis of 163 studies published prior to September, 1985 has been conducted in an attempt to organize and summarize the existing knowledge in the life events/social support/health paradigm and to establish directions for future research. The analysis discusses effects of the variables upon health in terms of characteristics of life change, source of support, gender and age, and specific symptoms.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a A meta-analysis of 163 studies published prior to September, 1985 has been conducted in an attempt to organize and summarize the existing knowledge in the life events/social support/health paradigm and to establish directions for future research. The analysis discusses effects of the variables upon health in terms of characteristics of life change, source of support, gender and age, and specific symptoms.
520 $a The overall effect of life events with health in this analysis, r =.20, is smaller than reported in literature reviews for correlational studies. No significant differences are found between the various life event scales developed since 1967 when subject populations are similar although the format of particular scales may improve their value to the researcher by identifying specific characteristics of change that contribute to symptomatology.
520 $a Global measures of social support reflect a consistent negative correlation with symptoms (r = $- .19 $) . There are important differences in the effects of both life events and social support when quality, rather than quantity, of the variable is assessed. Desirable events are associated with fewer symptoms than those labeled undesirable (r =.156 and.246, respectively). Social support perceived as inadequate is associated with an increase in illness (r = +.212), and adequate support with an improvement in health (r = $- .171 $) .
520 $a Finally, the complex relationship between life events and social support has been analyzed. As expected, many or undesirable life events coupled with inadequate support are associated with relatively high reports of illness (r =.292), few or positive events and adequate support are virtually unrelated with symptoms (r = $- .009 $) . Available social support rather than the amount of life change appears to dictate the number of symptoms experienced by subjects who report either high change and adequate support or little change and inadequate support (r =.131, and.236, respectively). Implications for future research are discussed, with particular emphasis upon the need for more well-designed prospective studies.
