The relationship between perceived social support and psychological resilience levels and subjective well-being of high school students

The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between high school students' perceived social support and psychological resilience levels, and their subjective well-being. The research was conducted using a predictive correlational design, a subtype of relational research. The study group consisted of 452 high school students. Data were collected using the Adolescent Subjective Well-Being Scale, Child and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and a Personal Information Form. Data analysis involved the use of t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that both psychological resilience and perceived social support significantly predict subjective well-being. Moreover, subjective well-being is significantly associated with perceived social support and psychological resilience. It was also found that subjective well-being differs significantly by grade level and age, but not by gender or school type. Key Words: psychological resilience, perceived social support, subjective well-being
