Social Support Self-Assessment Scale: See how supportive your interpersonal relationships are

In this increasingly fast-paced society, each of us is dealing with stress and loneliness in our own way. Some people have many friends around them and can always get understanding and help from others; while some people, although their lives seem normal, often feel that 'there is no one they can really rely on.'

In psychology, this feeling is called ' Social Support ', which is one of the important indicators to measure a person's mental health and happiness. Research shows:

People with stronger social support systems are more resilient in the face of stress and have a lower risk of depression and anxiety.

Psychologist Dwight Dean proposed an important concept as early as 1961: social alienation .
He believes that when people feel that their connections with others, groups, or society are gradually diminished, they will experience feelings of loneliness, loss, and helplessness—this is a signal that the social support system is weakening .

This test is adapted from the social support scale cited in 'Comprehensive Stress Management' by American psychologist Jerrold S. Greenberg . It can help you evaluate the quality of your social connections and the degree of interpersonal support .

Through 24 questions, you will understand your degree of isolation , social trust and emotional support in relationships.

Things to note

This test uses a self-report scale , which is affected by subjective feelings and the answering situation; cultural background will change the answering tendency. It cannot be used alone as a diagnostic tool.
High scores indicate 'risk' or 'requires concern,' but final judgments should be made in conjunction with clinical interviews or other measurement tools.
The title is a translation of the original English work (from a 1961 study), and modern context and culture may require localization calibration.

Friendly reminder: Don’t think of “social support” as an abstract noun. It’s part of your psychological immune system. No matter how bad it is, there are ways to fix it; if it's serious, please treat it as a medical problem and don't rely on willpower to carry it.
