[1] According to Robbins and Rosenfeld (2001),[2] traditionally, listening support, confirmation, and appreciation are sources of subjective well-being.
And Liu and Yu (2013)[3] have stated validation, compliment, and encouragement are the most common types of support from the online community.
Also, online friends can be an important source of social support (Ybarra, Mitchell, Palmer, & Reisner, 2015).
[5] Rozzell,[6] et al. (2014) said that social media tools may allow for social support to be obtained from non-close as well as close relationships, with access to a significant proportion of non-close relationships.
Moreover, social support derived from new information and communication technology counteracts the adverse effect of being unemployed (Fieseler, Meckel, & Müller, 2014).
