The participants of this research are undergraduate students at Universitas Hasanuddin. The sampling technique utilized in this research is stratified random sampling, while the number of the participants on this research is 411 participants.

The results showed that there is a significant relationship between sources of social support and mental health degrees in emerging adulthood of Universitas Hasanuddin students. The correlation level obtained based on the results of data processing shows that the Pearson Correlations value of the research variable of 0.445 is included in the moderate relationship criteria. A moderate relationship can be interpreted as a medium relationship obtained based on the correlation coefficient criteria. This shows that the relationship between the variables sources of social support and the variable mental health degree is in moderate criteria.

Summary
Mental health integrates health conditions and individual well-being, which play an essential role in holistically realizing human health. Mental health is often described as something positive, with happiness and a sense of mastery over the environment (Galderisi et al, 2015) This situation is related to the enjoyment of life, the ability to cope with stress and sadness, the fulfillment of one's potential and purpose in life, and a sense of connection with other individuals (United Nations, 2020). The range is characterized by excellent or healthy function on one hand and negative or lousy function on the other (Delphis, 2019). This is reinforced by Dewi (2012), who states that the degree of mental health in humans can be described on a continuum. It is essential to remember that mental health is a condition that is more than the absence of mental disorders because it is subjective to each individual (World Health Organization, 2018)
