The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (α = .94; Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, & Farley, 1988) is a 12-item self-report scale designed to assess perceived social support. The measure has shown good reliability and validity in previous studies (Dahlem, Zimet, & Walker, 1991). Higher scores indicate weaker social support.
