The Influence of Social Support and Peer Instrumental Support on Students’ Psychological Well-Being

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of social support and peer instrumental support on students’ psychological well-being. The research method employed is quantitative, utilizing a multiple linear regression approach. The study included 107 university students as respondents. The data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results show that both social support (X1) and peer instrumental support (X2) have a positive and significant influence on psychological well-being (Y). The correlation coefficient (R) of 0.833 indicates a very strong relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Meanwhile, the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.694 indicates that 69.4% of the students’ psychological well-being is influenced by social and peer instrumental support, while other factors account for 30.6%.
