Providing social and emotional support to act against encouraging survival stress acting in the direction of reducing the fear of the treatment, the future, the reduction of depression and despair, leads to reducing the sense of isolation, helplessness, hopelessness, a sense of abandonment. Perceived social support not only during illness contributes to a general improvement of quality of life.

The authors investigated whether couples' attachment styles have an impact on perceived social support from partner and on support provided by partner. Eighty-seven couples (174 individuals) completed questionnaires measuring perceived social support from partner (SWS-P scale) and providing partner with the social support (PDWS-P scale). The discrepancy indices (e.g., discrepancy between support provided by wife and husband's perception of support from wife) were employed among depended variables. Adult Attachment Questionnaire (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) was used to measure attachment styles. Husband's attachment style predicted social support in men but not in women. Secure husbands perceived more social support from wives and provided wives with more support than insecure husbands. Moreover, husbands attachment styles accounted for the variance of discrepancy indices of social support (e.g., actual reciprocity of social support). The results show that attachment styles (as probably other personality variables) should be considered in social support studies.

Massively -Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) experienced a strong wave of interest and attention. This paper is devoted to players of the World of Warcraft. The aim of the research was comparison of players and non-players in terms of social support and its components: emotional support, instrumental support, need for support, seeking support and current perceived support. Players and non-players were compared in the overall social inclusion and social inclusion in different social groups (in family, in a group of friends, among classmates/colleagues). The final sample consisted of 270 (82% male, 18% female) respondents, of which 135 were players and an equal number, were non-players. The youngest respondent was 13 and the oldest was 36 years (M=21,26, SD=4,63). The social support was measured using the Berlin Social Support Scale (BSSS) by authors Schwartzer and Schulz (2000). The social inclusion was measured using selected items from the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) (Dahlem, Zimet, Walker, 1991). The results showed that the players have lower level of the social support than non-players. The players and non-players do not differ in the construct of social inclusion.

By means of the report of 218 Chinese mothers the authors' questionnaire study aimed to investigate integration and social support of Chinese immigrants living in four European countries: Hungary, Germany, Great Britain and Spain, with a special focus on the Hungary group. Compared to the other groups, the Chinese living in Hungary showed a lower degree of local language competence and a lower level of intention to keep in contact with the host groups. On the other hand, they had stronger transnational links with Chinese people in other countries and in China. However, their intention to keep in contact with other Chinese in the host country was not stronger relatively to that of other groups. It even showed a smaller extent compared to the Great Britain group. Among the friends of the children of the Chinese living in Hungary there was a greater proportion of Chinese children than in the other groups. Besides family, school proved to be the most significant source of all types of social support. It was the case for emotional, practical and informational social support in all the four investigated groups. The findings pointed out the important roles of school and education at several levels. The authors' respondents evaluated the general level of integration of the Chinese into the host society less positively than the school integration of Chinese children in the host society. However, the Hungary group saw the latter as less successful than the other groups did. Satisfaction with school and education as well as their predicting factors are also considered in the study.

The article presents the functioning of institutions of social economy, as a new instrument of support and social-occupational re-adaptation for long-lastingly unemployed people. They prepare for activity in the open labour market, helping in self-employment through accustoming to a given occupation, granting micro loans or creating new work places. The purpose of the study undertaken by the authoresses is an attempt to find psychological conditioning for effectiveness of functioning within the frame of the model concerned. It has been assumed that significant factors conditioning effective actions of individuals employed as a part of social enterprise, and simultaneously important for effective operation of co-operative as an institution, are: a kind of psychological contract (expectations and responsibilities of long-lastingly unemployed people towards institutions supporting them), a type and size of support provided to people forming social co-operatives as well as recourses held by these people.

Dimensions that make up the personality type D, in particular, a negative emotional determine the level of satisfaction with life, means that the greater tendency to experience negative emotions– the lower level of satisfaction with life and hence less effects of rehabilitation. Purpose. the purpose of this study is answering the question: what role the patients assign rehabilitation and therapists and that the evaluation of the effects of rehabilitation is associated with type D personality. In terms of a global analysis of the process of rehabilitation in the context of the biopsychosocial model. Material and method. Studies using diagnostic survey with questionnaire technique were undertaken on a group of professionally active and inactive adult patients in Zamość Rehabilitation Clinic WSZiA 2011. Two tools were used for measuring: Scale DS-14– in Polish version (N. Ogińska-Bulik, Z. Juczyński and Denollet) to assess personality (scale DS-14 contains fourteen statements, seven of them concern negative emotionality, the other seven social inhibition); Survey’s questionnaire-own authorship.

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between Machiavellianism and some characteristics of same-sex friendships. Machiavellianism was positively related to the amount of lost friends and negatively related to closeness, friendship satisfaction, friend's support satisfaction and evaluations of partner's supporting behaviour. These results suggest, that high-Machs may fail in long-term, intimate relationships.

Spirituality has changed and got a new meaning recently. In every person's life a demand for spirituality and rituals appears. The question is how people treat this phenomenon in everyday life. Because of the effects of secularization the previous dominance of religion declined and new waves of religious movements were established. The authoresses aim is to give an outline of what religion means for today's youth and what opportunities of religious behaviour they can choose. Furthermore, they would like to show how religiousness as a main field in the value system may provide security and guidelines in life; and the way how these may be connected to healthy adaptation in the family. The present study reports on secondary school students' religious denominations, their religiousness and religious attendance with attention put on socio-demographic and socio-economic background. The authoresses attempt to reveal the connection between respect of parental values, parental control and social support regarding religiousness.

Trauma and posttraumatic adaptation are topics which have been frequently discussed in a literature recently. One of the most important factors that influences posttraumatic adaptation is social support. However this notion and its mechanism of protection against posttraumatic consequences still poses a lot of questions. The aim of this study is to show the role of support received from a family in adaptation after trauma and its influence on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study indicates that the adequacy of support is a good means of protection against psychological consequences after trauma. According to this research, not social support but its adequacy to current needs helps in better coping with trauma. Whereas support received from a family influences posttraumatic cognitions. People who receive, not only perceive, support from relatives after trauma have more rational cognitions about the world and themselves, in comparison to people who have less received support.

Relations between shyness, sociability and various dimensions of social support were studied in a sample of 267 participants (151 females and 116 males). The age of the subjects was 19–49. Shyness and sociability appeared significant predictors of perceived social support. Sociable people generally perceived more social support than unsociable people both from relatives and colleagues. However shyness was not a predictor of perception of social support from close persons negatively influenced the perception of possibility of help from more distant persons. Shy-sociable were rarely in intimate partnerships which were an important source of support and protected from stress.

Perceptions of social support were studied in 67 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia remission. The narrative technique was used and the results were compared with a matched control group. Only half of the children (49%) perceived social support (control group - 88%, p<0.001). Less than one-third (29%) of children perceiving social support expected it to be in the form of physical proximity, verbal and nonverbal tenderness (control group - 68%, p<0.01). This exploratory study provides suggesting direction for further study. It is necessary to continue research to assess social support in the form of tenderness and physical contact reference to children who survived cancer.

The issue of disability should be considered in the context of the family, for it is the family that accompanies the disabled person from the very beginning. It becomes his or her best and surest support, in the economic, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Concentration, however, on the individual that is most in need causes the whole family system to fail its function with time. Limitations that result from the fact of disability are real threats that the family may become marginalised or even eliminated from social life. The family is not able to overcome crisis on its own, thus supportive institutions and organisations play an essential role. The State Rehabilitation Fund for the Disabled (Pol. PFRON), urban and rural social work centres are leading institutions in supporting families with the disabled persons. In order to obtain aid from PFRON, however, one should be resourceful, well-educated, and well-off. Now social support centres concentrate only on those families that are the poorest, uneducated, and live in villages and small towns. It follows from research that families are considerably supported by institutions, although they only to a small degress satisfy the needs of the families under study.

An effort to fully understand the interface of work-family conflict and social support can be observed in the psychological research for more than three decades. This study explored relationship between different sources of social support and work-family conflict in its both directions and three forms. Work-family conflict was measured by the Work-family conflict scale (Carlson, Kacmar, Williams, 2000), whereas social support was measured by twelve items constructed for the purposes of the present study. The data were collected via on-line questionnaire during the period of two-months (October 2013 – November 2013). The sample comprised of 100 participants both female (n=64) and male (n=36), working full-time, married and had one or more children. For women the results suggested that the only effective support that significantly reduces work-family is social support obtained from direct supervisor. Specifically supervisory support reduced perceived work interference with family caused by strain. For men the results indicated that collegial support significantly reduced work interference with family and vice versa in its behavioural aspect. Furthermore supervisory support significantly decreased work interference with family. However at the same time supervisory support increased family interference with work. Finally both spouse and broad family support significantly reduced family interference with work for men. This study contributes to enhanced understanding of the relationships between social support and work-family conflict in our region.

The goal of this work is to explore the strength of a proposed model and explore the contribution of social support, health related behaviour, and personality factors in the planning of going abroad among university students. In other words, to examine whether perceived social support, depressive symptoms, health-related behaviour and personality factors are related to the plans among university students to leave their countries. This study is based on the data obtained in the study SLiCE (Student Life Cohort in Europe) conducted online and it presents the analysis of data from the first wave of data collection in 2011 in cooperation with the universities in five European countries. The sample consisted of 2051 university students, of which 343 (16.6%) was from the Czech Republic, 862 (41.7%) from Lithuania, 114 (5.5%) from Hungary, 264 (12.8%) from Germany and 482 (23.3%) from Slovakia. Most of the students in the sample (85%) were students in the first year of university study and 70.2% of the sample was women. The mean age of the respondents was 20.67 with a standard deviation of 2.71. The model has proven to be significant and relevant for explaining the variance in planning among university students to go abroad. The explored socio-psychological factors, as well as health-related factors, were found to contribute to the explained variance in this. The findings indicate that socio-psychological and health-related factors are related to the plans to go abroad. In summary, students who perceive to have less support from their family, more support from their friends, experience more depressive symptoms, are more open to new experiences and report higher consumption of alcohol, but not alcohol dependence are more likely to have a plan to leave for abroad within a short timeframe.

This contribution defines the term quality of life from various perspectives, with an effort to specify it complexly as a multi component term. The results of this paper present findings concerning quality of life in dying patients, obtained by using the McGill questionnaire, in relation to the level of extroversion and neuroticism (EPQ-R). The results have showed us that there is a negative correlation between emotional instability level and overall quality of life. Concentrating on extroversion, our hypothesis of a correlation between extroversion and the overall quality of life in dying patients measured by the McGill QOL questionnaire was not confirmed. This paper also defines and proves the importance of social support, which correlates positively with quality of life in dying patients. It reveals that there is a need for a complex approach towards seriously ill patients, including social aspects of the patient's life. Significant correlations were found by exploring the relation between degree of satisfaction with social support and quality of life. The more the patient was satisfied with the social support that he/she was getting from close people, the higher the life satisfaction he/she indicated.

The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions have caused unprecedented interruptions to the daily lives of children and adolescents. This unusual situation has brought stress, fear, economic problems, and limited access to health services, leisure time or sport opportunities as well as a lack of social support from important people. The main aim of this natural experiment was to find out the degree in which of family factors, peer factors and adolescent neuroticism played in changes in depression after the first COVID-19 lockdown. The data for T1 were collected in February 2020 and a follow-up (T2) was conducted in May 2020. In total, 155 adolescents participated in both waves (mean age 14.5 years, 60.4% girls). We used the abbreviated Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale, Psychological Control Scale - Youth Self-Report, Feelings of Being Overly Controlled scale. One question was aimed towards satisfaction with the relationship with the mother and one question was aimed towards relationship with friends. Supportive relationships at home was measured by a subscale from the Resilience and Youth Development Module, and neuroticism was measured by a highly shortened version of the Big Five Inventory.

The starting point for the presented study was the concept by House who construed social support as buffering the impact of work-related stress on health. Self-esteem was taken under consideration as the other potential stress buffer. It was hypothesized that both social support and self-esteem would have a salutogenic effect, since they attenuate the experience of occupational stress and reduce health problems associated with the experienced job stress. Participants in the study were 361 medical professionals representing various specialties. They were examined using the Subjective Job Evaluation Questionnaire by Dudek et al., the Mood and Health State Questionnaire by Rzesa, the Self-Esteem Scale by M. Rosenberg and Significant Other Scale by Power et al. The higher was the respondents' occupational stress, the poorer was their subjective physical health. Such components of occupational stress as responsibility, psychological strain due to job complexity, lack of rewards at work, and a sense of threat were found to be most important in this respect. These four components of occupational stress were interrelated and constituted a feedback loop. The study confirmed a salutogenic role of self-esteem, contributing to subjective health improvement. Satisfaction with social support had also a positive role, since it reduced the amount of experienced job stress, thus exerting a health-promoting effect. There was a direct negative feedback loop between self-esteem and somatic health problems. Irrespective of that, satisfaction with social support was found to interact with perceived occupational stress in a negative feedback loop. However, neither of these two factors, i.e. self-esteem and social support, had an effect of buffering the impact of occupational stress on health. This suggests that the initial model proposed by House as well as the present author's earlier research findings obtained from a smaller sample should be revised.

The main aim of the presented study was to find the factors determining life satisfaction in later life. Life satisfaction was defined as subjective well-being with its components: subjective health, self-reliance and symptoms of depression. Social support and objective health status have been measured. Age, education and social situation have been also taken into account.The study was carried out on the group of 318 adults aged 65 or more (186 women and 132 men).The results suggest that there is only weak correlation between life satisfaction and objective health measures, and strong one between life satisfaction and subjective health. There is also weak correlation between these two variables. The findings concerning impact of social support on the life satisfaction are uninformative and need further investigations.According to our findings, there is a greatest positive impact of the education level on the life satisfaction of older adults.The age does not decrease life satisfaction level, although it increases level of health problems.

The job satisfaction of middle healthcare managers affects organizational results of healthcare facilities. Purpose of the paper is to explore the relationship between competent leadership and work conditions with the job satisfaction of middle healthcare managers and the role of job autonomy and social support as mediators of this relationship, and to verify the influence of moderators – evaluation and ability of psychological detachment on strength of this relationship. The sample of quantitative questionnaire research consisted of 225 mid-level managers of healthcare facilities in Slovakia. The data were processed using the SPSS 24 software package. The findings show that managerially competent leadership is directly related to the job satisfaction of middle healthcare management. This effect can be strengthened by evaluation of work; psychological detachment has the opposite effect on the researched relationship. Social support and job autonomy act as mediators, the influence of social support is particularly important.
