Annotation | This study examined whether social support (measured as having a partner or spouse, satisfaction with partner or spouse relationships, and frequency of visits with close friends and relatives) and self-esteem buffered the impact of two types of stressful events on depressive symptomatology in 728 full-time working men and women 58 to 64 years of age at recruitment in a metropolitan North Carolina area, United States (US). Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the impact of stressful events involving social networks was buffered by satisfying relationships and self-esteem. Satisfying relations also lessened the impact of work stressors on depressive symptoms. |
