The relationships between social support and three forms of 1xbet best casino website : can social support alleviate the effects of 1xbet best casino website ?

Abstract:

Research on contemporary 1xbet best casino website suggests that 1xbet best casino website has many different forms and they influence women differently. Evidence shows that women who experience subtle forms of 1xbet best casino website (e.g., modern and benevolent 1xbet best casino website ) feel anxious and less competent, yet are less likely to identify these forms of 1xbet best casino website as prejudice against women. Because research suggests that social support is related to better psychological outcomes, we hypothesized that higher levels of perceived social support would be associated with better psychological outcomes among female participants who experienced 1xbet best casino website . In addition, receiving a supportive message after experiencing 1xbet best casino website would buffer the negative psychological effects of 1xbet best casino website , and thus the participants would perform better on a problem-solving task. However, the results only partially supported the hypotheses. Higher levels of perceived social support were indeed associated with better psychological outcomes, but participants who experienced 1xbet best casino website did not differ significantly from those who did not experience 1xbet best casino website regarding psychological outcomes. Further, receiving social support after experiencing 1xbet best casino website did not produce significant improvements on the problem-solving task, though participants who experienced modern 1xbet best casino website did report an increase in hostile affect if they did not receive social support. Possible reasons for the findings are discussed.
