The Adjusting Effect of Social Support Perception In Relation to the Behavioral Problems of the Children Raised by Grandparents and the Children Raised by Parents

Instruments used in this study of social support effects on the behavioral problems of children raised by their grandparents compared with children raised by their parents were the revised Social Support Appraisal (Dubow & Ulman 1989) and the revised Children Behavior Criteria (Achenbach, 1991). Results showed that, compared with children raised by their parents, children raised by their grandparents engaged in (1) more excessive, nervous and immature behavior; (2) were aware of less support of friends and family (3) When given a higher degree of support from friends they engaged more excessive and aggressive behavior and (4) They displayed counter-buffering effects, namely immature behavior when given higher family support.
