The present study examined the effects of support provided by a friend and evaluation apprehension on physiological, cognitive, and behavioral stress reactions. A 2 (provided support vs. not-provided) ×2 (evaluation apprehension vs. non-apprehension) factorial design was used. Seventy-nine undergraduate students as subjects participated in the experiment with their friends. Each friend in the support provision condition provided supports spontaneously and according to the subject's demands during the subject's task (ana-grams) performance, while in the other condition, the friend did not provide any support. In the evaluation apprehension condition, the friend was able to observe the subject performing tasks. Mean blood pressure (MBP), cognitive interference, and correct anagrams were adopted as dependent variables. The results in-dicated that those subjects who were provided support by their friends showed significantly lower MBP than those who were not provided support in the non-evaluation apprehension condition, while there was no difference between support provision and non-provision in the apprehension condition. It was suggested that support provided by friends without evaluation apprehension had buffering effects against stress.
