Background Social support has been considered a fundamental component of promoting parent and child well-being. Best understood as a multi-faceted resource, perceived and received support appear to be distinct concepts. The current study examined how received and perceived social support may be associated with, and moderate, the impact of child behavior problems on parent stress. Method This study examined the stress-buffering effects of perceived and received support in a sample of 249 caregivers of individuals with autism. Results Both types of support were significantly associated with less reported stress, when the two support types were examined individually. When considered together in a single model, received support was not uniquely associated with stress. Neither kinds of social support moderated the association between a commonly known stressors and stress. Conclusions This was the first study involving parents of individuals with autism assessing the stress-buffering effects of social support using two types of support. Existing social support interventions typically focus on increasing received support as a mechanism for improving emotional well-being, and the current results suggest that perceived support may have a more robust and direct link. |
