Abstract

Living away from home have various challenges that may influence college students’ subjective well-being. There are different protective and risk factors can influence the well-being. In this study, we considered stress as the risk factor while social support as the protective factor. The relationship between social support and stress on the subjective well-being of students living away from home can be facilitated by other variables, one of which is grit. This study investigated how grit as mediator in the relationship between social support and stress on the subjective well-being of students living away from home. Participants involved in this tudy were 262 university students. The analysis used included tests of normality and multicollinearity assumptions and mediation hypothesis testing with 5000 bootstrapping resampling. Results showed that the subjective well-being is positively correlated with social support and grit, and negatively correlated with stress. Furthermore, grit is able to mediate the influence of social support and stress on subjective well-being. Recommendation for further research are offered, including increasing sample size, involving more diverse demographics, and incorporating other psychological variables to clarify and increase the complexity of this model.
