Man is a social animal and his living flourishes with support he is getting from his social circle. This support depends on how he behaves with and within his social circumstances. His behavior depends on his personality so ultimately personality is responsible for social-support. There are so many factors which are responsible for development of personality of an individual such as method of upbringing, school life, friends, family profession, job satisfaction, financial status, marital life and so on. But it is also observed that two persons developing and living in almost same circumstances does behave differently in same situation. This suggests possibility of some other factors responsible for personality development and consequently for social-support. Ayurved theory of mental constitution helps here which is based on ratio of Trigunas namely Satva, Rajas and Tamas. This survey study is aimed to find out correlation between dominant Guna from Trigunas (which are Elements of Mind) and corresponding Social-Support. For this survey study, two types of questionnaires were prepared: One questionnaire to assess dominance of Satva-Rajas-Tamas and Second Questionnaire for Social-Support. 100 young-adult, unmarried, individuals of both sexes were interviewed. Data were analysed using common measure of Correlation -PPMC. Results showed that There is moderate positive correlation between Satva element and Social-Support. There is moderate positive correlation between Rajas element and Social-Support but it is below as compared to Satva element. Negative correlation is observed between Tamas element and Social Support.
