Perceived responsiveness plays a key role in social support interactions. Past research shows that people are more likely to seek support when they perceive that close others will be responsive to their needs, and that social support is most effective when it is perceived as responsive. However, theoretical models and measures of perceived responsiveness, and conceptualizations of responsive support, have been based primarily on the norms and values of individualistic cultures and may not generalize to collectivistic cultures. This review addresses cultural variations in what is perceived as responsive support and the importance of considering cultural fit in the social support process, including how cultural goals lead to different support-seeking behaviors and well-being outcomes for individualists and collectivists. How perceived responsiveness changes depending on other cultural dimensions and how it can be applied to other relationship processes and be more inclusive of collectivistic values are also discussed.

跨文化感知响应：文化契合在社会支持使用中的作用

感知响应在社会支持互动中起着关键作用。过去的研究表明，当人们认为亲近的人会响应他们的需求时，他们更有可能寻求支持，而当人们认为社会支持响应时，则最有效。然而，感知响应的理论模型和测量，以及响应支持的概念化，主要基于个人主义文化的规范和价值观，可能无法推广到集体主义文化。本综述讨论了被视为响应式支持的文化差异，以及在社会支持过程中考虑文化契合的重要性，包括文化目标如何导致个人主义者和集体主义者的不同寻求支持行为和福祉结果。
