ABSTRACT

The study investigates the relationship between perceived social support, self-esteem, and resilience in young adults. The researchers employed a survey questionnaire method to gather data. Participants were presented with a series of structured questions designed to assess their perceived level of social support from various sources such as family, friends, and significant others. Additionally, self-esteem and resilience were measured using established scales within the questionnaire. Perceived social support refers to an individual’s subjective assessment of the availability of supportive relationships in their social network. Self-esteem encompasses one’s overall evaluation of their self-worth and competence, while resilience pertains to the ability to bounce back from adversity. By employing a survey questionnaire, the researchers aimed to capture the nuanced interplay between these variables in young adults. The detailed analysis of the survey responses allowed for the exploration of how perceived social support influences both self-esteem and resilience levels among this demographic. This research contributes to our understanding of the crucial role that social support plays in promoting positive psychological outcomes in young adults, shedding light on potential avenues for intervention and support programs aimed at enhancing self-esteem and resilience in this population.
