Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Social support plays an important role in the affect and well-being throughout a person’s life. Prior research has documented the positive effects of support from friends, but has neglected the potential strain that may occur in friendships. The goal of this paper is to explore the effects of friends support and friend strain on positive and negative affect, as well as psychological well-being throughout the life span. The results reported come from the National Survey of Midlife in the United States (MIDUS). Results supported a positive relationship between friend support and positive affect and psychological well-being. Results also indicated differences in older male friendships. The discussion highlights implications for both research on friend support and strain in older adult relationships and future work on how friendships positively affect older adults.
