N2  - This study examined the relationship between perceived levels of social support and non-supportive interactions on the depression levels of 82 low-income, Dominican-born adults living in the United States. It was found that there was a significant and positive correlation between perceived levels of social support and nonsupportive interactions. This relationship suggests that Dominicans who report more supportive interactions are also more involved in nonsupportive relationships. It was also found that individuals who reported more social support experienced lower levels of depression. However, non-supportive interactions were not related with depressive levels.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
