The Relationship Between Anxiety and Social Support Among Filipino Tertiary Students

John Miguel Barrocamo

 

Abstract:

In the Philippines, anxiety and social support among college students have been a cause of worry. Especially today, when the pandemic has produced significant issues in our nation and other areas of the world, not only in terms of the economy and human way of life but also of an individual's mental health. Thus, this study investigates the relationship between anxiety and social support among college students. Based on the statistical analysis, social support and anxiety have a significant relationship (r=.119).
