FERRARI CARDOSO, Hugo; NUNES BAPTISTA, Makilim e MARIN RUEDA, Fabián Javier. Evaluation of social support: analysis of the literature in the database ebsco, Academic Search between 2001 to 2011. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.2, pp.280-303. ISSN 0123-417X.
This study aimed to analyze the literature on social support in the database EBsco-Academic Search between 2001 and 2011. It was based on a search for items that had the words "social support" and "scale" in the abstract. The sample consisted of 107 studies. It was verified in the results that there were fluctuations in the number of studies over the years. Aging & Mental Health and Quality of Life Research were the journals which published the most. On the country of residence of the first author, the countries that dominated were United States and England. 34 different instruments were used to assess social support. We also observed a lack of information concerning the psychometric qualities in the instruments descriptions.
