Abstract

When first-year students enter university, they experience many changes and challenges that require adjustment and adaptation. Previous studies have suggested that social support is one factor related to college adjustment. However, scientific support for the relationship between these variables in Indonesia is limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between social support and college adjustment in the Indonesian university context. We used the adapted version of the Student Adjustment to College Questionnaire (SACQ) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to measure college adjustment and social support in 281 first-year students enrolled in Universitas Indonesia. The social supports measured in this study include peer support and family support. Our analysis confirmed that social support was positively correlated with college adjustment (r = 0.468, p < 0.001, one-tailed). The results suggest that social networks, including family and peers, are important to students during their transition period from high school to higher education.
