THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SUPPORT AND ADJUSTMENT ON FRESH GRADUATES WHO WORK DURING PANDEMIC

Abstract

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, this condition requires all levels of society to adapt to the current situation, including fresh graduate students who are also required to adapt to the current conditions. This study aims to determine the relationship between social support and adjustment to fresh graduate students who have just worked during the covid-19 pandemic. The study involved 115 fresh graduates who had just worked during the covid-19 pandemic for at least 6 months, consisting of 42 men and 73 women. Social support variables were measured using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and self-adjustment variables were measured using The Weinberger Adjustment Inventory. The results of data analysis using the Spearman correlation test technique between social support and adjustment, obtained r (115) = 0.0202, p = 0.031 (< 0.05). The results of the correlation of these two variables indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between social support and self-adjustment.
