The research evaluated the relationship between perceived social support and depressive symptomatology among men age 60 and older. Participants were men living independently in the suburban area of a major Midwestern city in the United States. The study gathered demographic data, assessed participants’ social support using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS; Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, & Farley, 1988), and employed the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS; Yesavage et al., 1983) to assess the participants’ level of depressive symptoms. The analysis utilized the PASW (SPSS) statistics package to examine univariate characteristics of the data and to compare participants’ scores on the two instruments using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The statistics package also computed correlations among other significant variables. The data revealed a moderately strong, statistically significant negative correlation between perceived social support and depression as measured by the GDS. Analysis also revealed statistically significant negative correlations between GDS scores and participants’ self-rated health as well as GDS scores and self-rated financial well-being. Further data analysis showed a statistically significant negative correlation between age and self-rated health as well as a statistically significant positive correlation between self-rated health and education. Establishing a significant relationship between social support and depression in older men may prove a useful insight for individuals, families, and helping professionals engaged in caring for older adults. These findings may also support the development of strategies and interventions that avoid depression and enhance well-being among older adults.
