Abstract
|
|
|
The effects and roles of social support and stressors(stressful life. events and chronic strains) on psychosocial distress were examined in a´ model with data from a sample of the white-collar workers(N=416) in Korea.
The findings of this study present that "mean levels of psychosocial distress were higher in the female, youth, unmarried and divorced, and low economic status(monthly income). The analysis also shows that, as expected, stressful ` life ` events and chronic strains as stressors are positively related to occurrence of psychosocial `distress, and social support is negatively related to psychosoical distress.
Further, the contribution of social support in predicting psychosocial distress is greater in magnitude than that of stressful events, chronic strains, and sociodemographic variables.
Therefore, the strength of the social support is a important and meaningful strategy to prevent from stress and other mental and physical illness.
