Household crowding and social support: A quasiexperimental analysis.

Abstract

People often cope with crowded living conditions by socially withdrawing from their housemates. This coping strategy may overgeneralize, influencing social interactions with others outside the home. In a stressful laboratory situation, Ss from crowded homes, in comparison with uncrowded counterparts, are less likely to seek support from a confederate and rate the confederate as less supportive. Moreover, Ss from crowded homes are less likely to offer support to a confederate in need. These differences in social interaction behaviors appear to be attributable to crowded residents' social withdrawal.
