Abstract

Research on social support has produced conflicting results concerning the role that emotional expression by the victim plays in the process. The current study sought to clarify the role played by the type and intensity of the emotion displayed by the victim, and the relationship type desired by the potential support provider. Participants interacted with confederates displaying low, medium or high levels of either sadness or anger after they had been induced to desire either a communal or exchange relationship. Emotion type and relationship type influenced a number of support variables. The effects of emotional intensity were more ambiguous. Results suggest that a more holistic view of support processes is needed to more fully understand social support.
