Thus, resilience as an innate trait has been in frequent discussions for its positive impact on well-being. This study aimed to analyze whether social support and social connectedness were predictors of resilience among undergraduate students. Utilizing a predictive non-experimental research design, data were gathered from 402 randomly selected students from a higher education institution in eastern Philippines through standardized scales. Statistical analyses employed descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that students had high levels of social support, social connectedness, and resilience and that the three variables are significantly correlated.
