“…This line of social support research is predicated on the premise that an understanding of available social support from family, friends, and significant others and its psychosocial benefits could inform effective approaches to mental wellbeing among college students (Hefner & Eisenberg 2009). Social support can be measured as perceived available assistance or actual received ones, and the former can have greater influence on mental well-being than the later (Fan & Lu 2019). Evidence has shown that perceived social support is strongly associated with high college life satisfaction, decreased academic stress and emotional exhaustion, and increased positive feelings (Wang et al 2018).…”

“…Benard (1991) adds another set of characteristics for these children, including expectations (The high and positive meaning of life, clarity of purpose of life, competence, personal strength, and problem-solving skills with relationships with others).
