References?

This page seems to have no references to actual psychological articles (and instead uses phrases like "many studies have found"). Any reason why? Can we get a few literature references in here? MyOwnLittlWorld 22:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be references for the below statements, can someone please supply them?

"There are three distinct sub-types of social support, and each has different links to health: A support recipient’s perception of social support, the specific supportive actions received, and the extent to which a person is integrated within a social network. In addition, there are three main types of causes of social support: the personality of the support recipient, the objectively supportive aspects of support providers, as well as the relationships between specific support recipients and providers." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.41.73.119 (talk) 14:17, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
