Answer to Question 1

Social support is defined as an individual's knowledge or belief that he or she is cared for and loved, belongs to a network of communication, and has a mutual obligation with others in the network.

Social support acts as a buffer against stress when it is received at the point of appraisal of a potential threat. Social support also provides a buffer against stress when it is offered during the coping phase of a stressful situation and the person is trying to recover from the experience.

Answer to Question 2

D
