social support  

Definición

  • Social support has been diversely defined in the human services fields, often as perceived social support in the context of relief of stress (Sarason, Sarason, and Pierce 1990). In its purer sense, social support is a positive aspect of exchange between or among parties, offering benefits for the persons involved, families, neighbors and coworkers, organizations, associations, and even the broader community and society (human ecological roots; Brofenbrenner 1979).
