Abstrakt: The article responds to comments made by Catherine Schaefer from the Department of Biomedical and Environmental Health Sciences of the University of California on study of the mental and physical health consequences of job stress and social support by J. R. LaRocco, J. S. House and J. R. P. French, Jr that published in the September 1980 issue of the "Journal of Health & Social Behavior." The author appreciates Schaefer's comments regarding the theoretical contributions of the paper to the understanding of the concept of social support, and supports her call for improved conceptualization and empirical study of the processes of social support. The paper was concluded on a similar note and, in fact, speculated on the nature and substance of those processes. The article also welcomes her raising some statistical issues with which researchers have been concerned throughout their work. Researchers, perhaps mistakenly, decided not to raise these issues in their paper due to constraints of time and space, though they addressed some of them in other places. Some of those issues have been addressed in this article.
