This study examined the buffering effect of relational social support satisfaction from providing and receiving support on depression in a non-evacuated community close to the Fukushima power plant damaged by the 2011 Japan Triple Disaster. A self-selected sample (N = 466, 351 female, mean age 60.4 year, SD = 14.0) participated in an intervention program for stress reduction and evaluation within 1 year of the disaster. First, effect sizes for predictor impact and demographic variables on depression were investigated. Then, data from an original instrument tapping satisfaction from social support relations was controlled as covariates. The results showed among survivors relational satisfaction from both providing and receiving support when controlled raised the effect sizes of predictors of depression symptomology, suggesting a buffering effect. Findings highlight the possible positive mental health of self-providing support among certain post-disaster populations. |
