The Effects of College Students’ Perceived Social Support on Coping with Stress and Depression

Abstract Details

2021, Master of Arts in Professional Communication, Youngstown State University, Department of Communicaton.
With the exceedingly competitive job market, skilled individuals are overlooked compared to those with a college degree. The pressure to earn a college degree weighs heavily on those who wish to attain gainful employment. From the transition from high school to university and adapting to new academic environments, college students are burdened with high levels of expectations. Recent studies have reported the transition leads to high levels of stress and depression. This study focuses on college students’ perceived social support and how it affects their levels of stress that may lead to experiencing various levels of depression. 160 college students participated in this quantitive study. One of the findings of the study was the significant relationship between perceived social support, stress, and depression.
