Abstract : Resilience and social support are pivotal factors in fostering positive mental health outcomes and enhancing overall well-being among students. With this in mind, the present study sought to examine the impact of resilience and social support on subjective well-being among college students. Employing a quantitative research approach, the researchers utilized a descriptive- correlational technique to survey 255 college students. Standardized instruments, validated by experts and subjected to reliability testing, were employed for data collection. The statistical analysis revealed that students exhibited a high level of resilience and perceived social support. Moreover, students reported a high level of subjective well-being. Notably, correlation analysis highlighted a significant relationship between resilience, social support, and subjective well-being. Regression analysis further underscored the influential role of resilience and social support in shaping subjective well- being. This finding suggests that students with higher resilience levels are better equipped to manage stress and adversity, while those with robust social support networks benefit from emotional, informational, and practical assistance, thereby contributing to an enhanced sense of well-being.
