... there was a significant positive correlation between resilience and social support (r = 0.36, p < 0.01). More importantly, a simple mediation analysis was carried out to test the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between resilience and psychological flexibility (see Table 3). The results showed that resilience was a positive predictor of social support (β = 0.36, p < 0.01) and explained 13% of the variance in social support. ...Context 2
... results showed that resilience was a positive predictor of social support (β = 0.36, p < 0.01) and explained 13% of the variance in social support. Resilience (β = 0.19, p < 0.01) and social support (β = 0.34, p < 0.01) were found to significantly positively predict psychological flexibility by accounting for 13% of the variance in psychological flexibility (see Table 3 and Figure 1). The indirect effect of resilience on psychological flexibility through social support was significant [effect = 0.14, 95% CI (0.09, 0.19)] (see Table 3). ...Context 3

... symptoms. These findings resonate with prior and more recent research conducted across various cultural and demographic settings (Chu et al., 2010;Gülaçtı, 2010;Gariepy et al., 2016;Wang et al., 2018;Bender et al., 2019;Mohd et al., 2019;Watson et al., 2019;Alshehri et al., 2020;Cobo-Rendón et al., 2020;Grey et al., 2020;Xiao et al., 2020;Özmete and Pak, 2020;Bedaso et al., 2021;Ghafari et al., 2021;Liu et al., 2021;Yildirim and Aziz, 2023;Yıldırım and Green, 2023;Green et al., 2024). These compelling findings underscore social support as a pivotal resource stemming from an individual's social network. ...
Social support has been associated with improved mental health; however, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. This study aimed to explore whether perceived stress mediate the relationship between social support and positive affect, anxiety, and depression. Drawing from Lazarus and Folkman’s stress and coping theory, the study emphasized the influential role of social support in appraising stressful events. A cross-sectional survey was conducted online among 426 Filipino adults during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants completed measures including the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), the Positive Affect subscale of PANAS, and the Depression and Anxiety subscales of DASS-21. The hypotheses of the study were tested using mediation analysis. Consistent with the hypotheses, perceived stress significantly mediated the relationship between family and significant other support with positive affect, anxiety, and depression. Family and significant other support decreased perceived stress, increasing positive affect, and decreasing anxiety and depression. On the other hand, perceived stress did not mediate the relationship between friend support and positive affect, anxiety, and depression. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
