Quarter-Life Crisis (QLC) is a transitional phase in early adulthood characterized by uncertainty, anxiety, confusion about life direction, and concerns about education, career, relationships, and the future. If not managed adaptively, these challenges may hinder individuals’ adjustment during this developmental stage. Both internal and external resources, including religiosity and social support, may play an important role in helping individuals cope with the demands of this transition. This study aimed to examine the effects of religiosity and social support on Quarter-Life Crisis among young adults. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. The participants were 100 students from a public university in Jambi Province, Indonesia. Data were collected using the IIUM Religiosity Scale, Social Support Scale, and Quarter-Life Crisis Scale and were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that religiosity had a significant negative effect on Quarter-Life Crisis. Social support also had a significant negative effect on Quarter-Life Crisis. Furthermore, religiosity and social support jointly had a significant effect on Quarter-Life Crisis among young adults. These findings indicate that higher levels of religiosity and social support are associated with lower levels of Quarter-Life Crisis. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening psychological and social resources to help young adults navigate the demands of life transitions more adaptively.
