The
Norbeck Social Support Questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire for which subjects list the individuals in their support network and then rate each on a series of 9 items concerning 3 dimensions of social support, including total functional variables (affect, affirmation, aid), total network variables (number in network, duration of relationships, frequency of contact), and total loss (whether a loss has occurred in the past 12 months and a subjective rating of the amount of support lost).
