Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper explores the role of social capital in mediating the effects of stressors on depression among a disadvantaged population. Utilizing a survey of 155 homeless adults in a midsized southern US city, the authors address the debate concerning the relevance of social capital for quality of life. It focuses on a sample of homeless in order to provide a critical test of whether such resources spend across social strata. Do such resources matter even in situations where monetary and human capital are extremely limited? Under these circumstances does social capital add to our understanding of the distress process or does it merely provide a means for stating the well established relationship between social support and quality of life outcomes? A number of forms of social capital are measured: religious social capital, group participation, social trust, and bridging social capital as well as perceived social supports. The findings suggest that these forms of social capital add significantly to the variance explained in depressive symptomatology over and above that traditionally explained by perceived social support.
