Abstract

This research examined the relations between social support, subjective well-being, and an Internal Working Model (IWM). Caregivers (N = 278) completed a questionnaire. The results showed that caregivers belonging to an "up-to-date" IWM group received sufficient support from other important people and a wider support network, compared with caregivers from other groups. Hierarchical multiple regression that assumed subjective well-being to be a mediating factor examined the structure of the influences that supported an IWM. The results showed that support from an important person and a support network did not have a direct relationship with lower "Anxiety" in an IWM, but it did have a direct relationship with lower "Avoidance" in an IWM.
