When stresses and hassles challenge our abilities to cope, we
frequently turn to family, friends, and partners for help. Yet
social support from close relational partners does not uniformly
benefit recipients or their relationships. By probing the
communication processes that link enactments of social support to
participants' reactions, this book provides new explanations for
when and how receiving social support will be evaluated as helpful
and relationally satisfying. The author's research addresses a
variety of types of relationships and stresses, including young
adult friends and romantic partners coping with the stresses of
university life; adult friends, family and spouses responding to
everyday hassles' and married couples coping with chronic health
conditions. This innovative program of research combines
qualitative and quantitative methods to develop a distinctive
communication-based framework for understanding why the content,
form, style, and sequence of talk matter for our evaluations of the
help we receive from others.
