Abstract
This study aims to examine the relationship between stressors, motivation, and expected social support in the context of interpersonal support volunteer activities among university students. A web-based survey was conducted and responses were received from 213 undergraduate and graduate students, mainly majoring in psychology, social work, and education, with experience in interpersonal support volunteerism. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results clearly indicated that expected social support was more strongly influenced by the motive for participation than by the type of dominant stressor. In this regard, the study infers that the prevention of burnout can be achieved by conducting a preliminary assessment of the motives for participation, considering the form of support suitable for each student, and providing preliminary training and environmental adjustment. These measures could facilitate the provision of stable support to students and may have significant implications for the future training of interpersonal support professionals such as clinical psychologists.
