Abstract

This study focuses on the relationship between social support and depression via the suppresant effect of social support on stressful life events. This effect suggests that social support has impact on both life events and depression. Social support has a suppresant effect on the likelihood of occurrences of life events (Lin, 1986). Our sample consisted of 780 subjects. Self reports of community integration, depression, stressful life events and family self-esteem have been obtained at two time points (six months between each time point). A causal analysis using EQS software (Bentler, 1992) was carried out indicating that no suppresant effect is tenable when depression and family self-esteem are taken into account. Results are discussed and new areas towards the analysis of the effect of social support on self-esteem are suggested
