Introduction: Excess body weight, is a worldwide health problem. Social support may play a central role during weight loss processes; however, this relationship has not been clearly established. Objective: To determine the role of social support in adult women´s weight loss. Methods: We conducted a systematic review searching four databases: PubMed, Ebsco Medline with full text, PsycINFO, and Web of Science; and including articles that were 1) related to at least one of the research question; 2) intervention studies aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of the familiar social support component in weight loss; 3) the population of the study was adult women between 18 and 65 years. Results: Ten studies relating family social support to weight loss: only a few of them have shown an association between weight loss and family social support, and none of the studies found an association between family social support and BMI; involving family members in weight loss programs seems to have some positive effect but the results are mixed. Limitations: Studies used different definitions and measures to evaluate family social support; some of them were excluded because they did not differentiate in their analysis between men and women. Conclusions: It seems to be a positive effect between social support and weight loss in women, but more studies are necessary to draw solid conclusions.

Sociometer Theory

Though it is well-established that self-esteem develops from childhood well into old age, little is known about the processes that influence this change, especially among young populations. This international, cross-sequential study examined the development of self-esteem in 1599 second-graders (Age MT1 = 7.99, SDT1 = 0.52 years; 52% male) in the Netherlands and Germany over three years. Multilevel models revealed that mean-level trends in self-esteem were stable across time among all demographic groups, but that males and students in the Netherlands consistently had higher self-esteem than females and students in Germany. Further analyses examining the role of social support in self-esteem development demonstrated that individuals with better peer and family social support tended to have higher levels of self-esteem and that within-person changes in social support were directly related to changes in self-esteem level, providing support for sociometer theory. These findings suggest that demographic factors as well as social support are important predictors of self-esteem as early as middle childhood.

Moderating Role

Objective: The current study examined racial differences in the relationship between late-life stress and health functioning and the moderating role of perceived social support (PSS) in older adults. Method: A biracial sample of community-dwelling older adults (65+) from the first two waves of the Duke University’s Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE; N = 2,952) was analyzed. Baseline levels of PSS and stress were obtained. Health status was assessed at baseline and follow-up. Results: Analyses revealed a positive effect of PSS on health functioning. There was a three-way interaction among race, stress, and PSS on health functioning. Probing the interaction, for Caucasians, PSS was beneficial at low stress, but not high stress. For African Americans, PSS had a positive effect regardless of stress level. Discussion: PSS is an important protective factor for preserving positive health in late-life; however, benefits may differ by race and intensity of stressor.
