AB  - This study used the stress buffering perspective to identify social resources, 
      including social network support, having a high quality marriage, and spousal 
      support, that protect against deleterious effects of the progression of Alpha-1 
      antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) on quality of life. Participants included 130 
      married adults living with AATD. We measured participants' quality of life in 
      three ways: perceived stress, life satisfaction, and perceptions of social 
      stigma. The results suggested that disease progression corresponded positively 
      with perceived stress and negatively with life satisfaction. Social network 
      support moderated the association between disease progression and perceived 
      stress and social stigma, and spousal support moderated the association between 
      disease progression and perceived stress and life satisfaction. Marital quality 
      was not a significant moderator. The discussion highlights the stress buffering 
      effects of social support from close others.
