A Longitudinal Study of the Bidirectional Relationship Between Social Support and Posttraumatic Stress Following a Natural Disaster
Open accessAbstract
There is ample evidence that social support is protective against posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms through social causation processes. It is also likely that PTS is associated with decreased social support through social selection processes. Few studies, however, have examined the longitudinal and bidirectional associations between social support and PTS in a postdisaster context, and whether such associations vary by type of support (e.g., emotional, informational, or tangible). We examined these relationships using Galveston Bay Recovery Study data. Participants (N = 658) were interviewed 2–6 months (W1), 5–9 months (W2), and 14–19 months (W3) after Hurricane Ike in 2008. Longitudinal relationships between each support type and PTS were examined in cross‐lagged models. W1 emotional support was negatively associated with W2 PTS (Estimate = –.13, p = .007), consistent with social causation. W1 PTS was negatively associated with W2 emotional support (Estimate = –.14, p = .019), consistent with social selection. In contrast, pathways were nonsignificant at subsequent waves and for informational and tangible support. Results suggested that postdisaster social causation and selection were limited to emotional support and diminish over time. Based on these findings, postdisaster services should emphasize restoring supportive social connections to minimize the psychiatric consequences of disaster, especially among those with prior evidence of distress.

Previous meta-analyses have evidenced a longitudinal relationship between social support and PTSD, and research has also shown a strong bi-directional association between social support and PTSD symptoms.
“Although previous meta-analyses have evidenced a longitudinal relationship between social support and PTSD (Zalta et al., 2021), research has also shown a strong bi-directional association between social support and PTSD symptoms (e.g. Platt, Lowe, Galea, Norris, & Koenen, 2016).”
From The association between social support and posttraumatic stress symptoms among survivors of betrayal trauma: a meta-analysis (2021) · cites this paper as Platt, Lowe, Galea, Norris, & Koenen, 2016
The Abstract reports associations in both directions between emotional support and posttraumatic stress symptoms, and the Discussion describes evidence for both pathways. But the findings were limited to emotional support in the early postdisaster period; later pathways and those for informational and tangible support were nonsignificant. The source therefore does not establish the unqualified 'strong' bidirectional association described in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
