Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat kontribusi optimisme dan perceived social support terhadap resiliensi pada mahasiswa rantau di Universitas Indonesia. Subjek penelitiannya adalah mahasiswa rantau Universitas Indonesia sebanyak 209 orang dengan mengisi kuesioner optimisme, perceived social support, dan resiliensi. Optimisme diukur dengan menggunakan alat ukur Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) yang dikembangkan oleh Scheier, Carver, dan Bridges (1994). Perceived social support diukur dengan menggunakan alat ukur Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support yang dikembangkan oleh Gregory D. Zimet (1988). Resiliensi diukur dengan menggunakan alat ukur Resilience Scale (RS) yang dikembangkan oleh Wagnild dan Young (1993). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa optimisme dan perceived social support berkontribusi secara signifikan terhadap resiliensi (r = 0.252, p = 0.000). Selain itu, optimisme memiliki kontribusi yang lebih besar dibandingkan perceived social support terhadap resiliensi (β = 0.376, p = 0.000).
