To assess perceived social support, we applied the German version of the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (PSSQ-6, [45]). The PSSQ-6 encompasses six items mapping a wide range of social resources (e.g., “I know a very close person whose help I can always count on”). Items were rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (“not true at all”) to 5 (“very true”). Higher composite scores indicate higher perceived social support. The PSSQ-6’s internal consistency was good (α = .86).
