Answer to Question 1

Research indicates that individuals who have low levels of social support tend to have low social skills needed to attract the interest and help of others. When engaging in conversations with strangers, people who are high in social support feel more competent, comfortable, and assured than people who report having little support. People who are low in social support tend to be perceived by others as less interesting, dependable, friendly, and considerate than people who are high in social support.
