We used the 10-item Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), developed by Xiao (1994), to measure the degree of social support. It comprises three subscales: subjective support, objective support, and utilization of support. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the questionnaire using Amos software, and the results were as follows: GFI = 0.973, IFI = 0.979, CFI = 0.978, Normed Fit Index (NFI) = 0.926, RMSEA = 0.033, and RMSEA = 0.039. In this study, the Cronbach’s α was 0.695.
