A short version of the Social Support Questionnaire “F-SozU” with 14 items is presented. This unidimensional version shows good psychometric item properties, as well as a very acceptable reliability (internal consistency Cronbach's a = 0.94). First results of the scale's validity reveal strong evidence for its usefulness. Based on a representative German sample (N = 2507), norms are presented as percentile scores, due to deviation from normal distribution.
