During emerging adulthood, individuals may experience a developmental crisis known as the Quarter-Life Crisis. The Quarter-Life Crisis can be influenced by various factors, including social support and self-esteem. This study aims to investigate the role of social support in the Quarter-Life Crisis, with self-esteem acting as a mediator, in emerging adults. A total of 151 participants aged 18-29 years were involved in this study. Three measurement tools were utilized: the Quarter-Life Crisis Scale, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The PROCESS analysis indicates that self-esteem mediates the relationship between social support and the Quarter-Life Crisis by 38% (-0.3790; p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that self-esteem serves as a mediator in the relationship between social support and the Quarter-Life Crisis.
