Effect of Perceived Social Support and Psychological Resilience on Mental Well-Being Among University Students

The purpose of the study is to find the differences between university students in terms of Perceived Social Support, Resilience, and Psychological Well-Being. Sample of the study size was consist of two hundred and fifty (N=252) students which consisted of both male (N=91) and female (N=161) students. The scales used are Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Resilience scale (RS), and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWS) to find our three variables which are Perceived Social Support, Resilience, and Psychological Well-Being. According to the findings of the study all the three scales and its subscales showed very good reliability i.e. perceived social support (0.88), significant special (0.86), Family (0.79), Friends (0.83), Psychological resilience (0.50) and mental wellbeing (0.86). All the scales have very high and significant positive relationship with each other i.e. p<0.001. Regression analysis of the study shows that significant others (.25**), family (.19**) and friends (018**) from perceived social support (.21**) very highly significantly predicting mental wellbeing. Psychological Resilience is also highly predicting mental well-being so that the emerged model is a perfect predicting model. T test of the study analysis is non-significance because no value were significant i.e. p>0.001. Resilience, Social support and psychological well-being were high in university students.
