Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This manuscript presents a conceptual model of social support network preference that draws upon Socio-Emotional Selectivity Theory (Lockenhoff & Carstensen, 2004) and weak tie network theory (Granovetter, 1973, 1982, 1983), and social network analysis (Berkowitz, 1982). Although these theories/approaches contain overlapping propositions that have implications for individuals facing health concerns, previous research has not synthesized these theories/approaches. The present manuscript is an attempt to synthesize propositions from these theories. In addition, it presents a conceptual model of social support network preference based upon these theories. Moreover, it provides a number of implications of examining social support network preference from this perspective, limitations of the conceptual model, and directions for future research.
