| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to examine the synergistic effect of social capital , measured by trust, and social support on depression. As a result, social capital-depressionassociations vary according to an individual’s social support. These results extend previous discussions about the importance of developing individually -centered prevention strategies with new perspectives focused on improving contextual characteristics, such as social capital. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm these findings and to explore the mechanism underlying these associations in this settings.
