Limitations and Directions for Future Research

Abstract:

Giving support may be an important component of interpersonal relationships that has considerable value to health and well-being. It may not be a coincidence that mortality and morbidity studies inad- vertently assess giving or manipulate giving (e.g., taking care of a plant; Rodin & Langer, 1977) to operationalize variables of interest such as receiving social support or locus of control. If giving, rather than receiving, promotes longevity, then interventions that are cur- rently designed to help people feel supported may need to be rede- signed so that the emphasis is on what people do to help others. The possibility that giving support accounts for some of the benefits of so- cial contact is a new question that awaits future research.
