Social support plays an important role in individual's well‐being and the development of intimate relationships. Our study used dyadic analysis to incorporate cultural and gender influences into our understanding of social support seeking and provision within same ‐sex friendships. Guided by Robert A. Hinde’s framework on multiple levels of social complexity\, our goal in this study was to identify not only in trapersonal but also interpersonal effects on enacted social support seeki ng and provision behaviours\, taking friendship qualities\, cultural (Euro -Canadian vs. Chinese) and gender variations into consideration. Supportiv e versus negative friendship qualities were used to predict different supp ort‐seeking and support‐provision behaviours during a quasi-experimental t ask. Contrary to previous studies on social support\, there was no evidenc e of cultural group differences on support‐seeking or provision behaviours among same‐sex friends after accounting for friendship qualities in the d yads. Self‐reported friendship qualities influence support‐seeking and pro vision behaviours intrapersonally and interpersonally. By bridging the the oretical model of multiple levels of social complexity and the analytical model of Actor-Partner Interdependence Model together\, our research provi ded a more comprehensive understanding of cultural and gender variations o n enacted social support processes among same‐sex friendship dyads.\n\nBri ng your lunch.
