<![CDATA[This study examines the role of social support in building resilience among santri in pesantren in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The objective of the research is to determine the impact of emotional, informational, and instrumental support on the resilience of santri, with a focus on the unique socio-cultural environment of pesantren. A quantitative approach using a correlational survey design was employed, involving 416 santri selected through multistage cluster random sampling. The study utilized two scales: the Social Support Scale and the Resilience Scale, both of which were tested for reliability and validity. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that social support has a significant positive effect on resilience, with a direct influence of 0.452 (p < 0.001). Descriptive statistics revealed moderate levels of both social support and resilience among the santri, with considerable variation in individual scores. The study concludes that social support, particularly emotional and informational support from peers, religious leaders, and the pesantren community, plays a crucial role in enhancing resilience. It is recommended that pesantren strengthen their social support systems to ensure more equitable support for all students, especially those who feel less supported.]]>
