Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Social support consists of receipt and provision in the interpersonal exchange process. Many studies have explored and verified the effect of received social support. This study focuses on whether and when social support provision can benefit the providers\' positive psychological capital and subjective well-being.
METHODS: A sample of 732 Chinese undergraduates with low socioeconomic status completed questionnaires on social support provision, psychological capital, life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, and sense of indebtedness.
RESULTS: The correlation and regression analyses showed that impoverished college students\' social support provision was positively associated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and psychological capital and negatively associated with negative affect. The interaction between the sense of indebtedness and social support provision was negatively associated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and psychological capital, not significantly associated with negative affect.
CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that giving social support can be as beneficial as receiving social support, and the sense of indebtedness can limit the benefits. Individuals with a lower sense of indebtedness are more likely to benefit from social support provision. The findings have implications for marginalized groups\' subjective well-being and positive psychological capital and show the necessity of guiding individuals to provide social support while maintaining their autonomy.

摘要：
背景：社会支持包括人际交流过程中的接收和提供。很多研讨摸索和验证了接收社会支撑的功效。这项研究的重点是社会支持提供是否以及何时可以使提供者的积极心理资本和主观幸福感受益。
方法：以732名社会经济地位较低的中国大学生为样本，完成了关于社会支持提供的问卷调查，心理资本,生活满意度,积极的影响，负面影响，和负债感。
结果：相关和回归分析表明，贫困大学生的社会支持提供与生活满意度呈正相关。积极的影响，和心理资本，并与负面影响负相关。负债感和社会支持提供之间的相互作用与生活满意度负相关，积极的影响，和心理资本，与负面影响没有显著关联。
结论：结果表明，给予社会支持与接受社会支持一样有益，而负债感会限制收益。负债感较低的个人更有可能从社会支持提供中受益。这些发现对边缘化群体的主观幸福感和积极心理资本具有启示意义，并表明指导个人在保持其自主性的同时提供社会支持的必要性。
