ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between social support and life satisfaction among adolescents. The sample consisted of N=80 participants.

The Simple Linear Regression and Pearson Correlation were used for data analyses. The findings of this study revealed that, there is positive and significant relationship between social support and life satisfaction of adolescents. Further this study indicates that social support influences life satisfaction of adolescents.
