Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan gambaran mengenai hubungan antara perceived social support dan psychological well-being pada mahasiswa perantau tahun pertama di Universitas Indonesia. Perceived social support diukur dengan alat ukur Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, 1988) dan psychological well-being diukur menggunakan alat ukur Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1898).
