After Marie's plane crashed, her mother came to stay while Marie recovered. Her friends visited often and went to lunch and dinner with her occasionally. This situation probably contributed to Marie's coping ability after the accident. How does this relate as a factor in her response to stress?

Social support helps individuals suffering from stress.

Explanation:

Social support provides a great deal of therapy and acts as a coping mechanism for people who are under stress. It is received from the close/inner circle of the individual who is struggling with stress.

In the above situation, constant visits from friends and family provided her with social support. It helped maintain her health physically and psychologically. It also helps in preventing the development of various diseases induced by any kind of trauma.
