Journal ArticleDOI
The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support
TL;DR: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) as discussed by the authors is a self-report measure of subjectively assessed social support, which has good internal and test-retest reliability as well as moderate construct validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric characteristics of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.
TL;DR: This study attempted to extend the initial findings by demonstrating the internal reliability, factorial validity, and subscale validity of the MSPSS using three different subject groups: 265 pregnant women, 74 adolescents living in Europe with their families, and 55 pediatric residents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support in urban adolescents.
TL;DR: The psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were investigated in 222 urban, largely African-American adolescents, and factor analysis confirmed the three subscale structures of the MSPSS: family, friends, and significant other.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support: a confirmation study.
TL;DR: The MSPSS had good internal reliability, and the factor analysis confirmed the subscale structure of the measure: family, friends, and significant other, which lends support for the buffering hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
