, Abstract (max. 200 words)
Depressive symptoms among young adults are a common problem worldwide. This study
examined the relationship between social support, coping strategies, and, depression among
individuals between 18 and 35 years of age. Based on previous research, the study
hypothesized that adaptive coping styles and high-quality social support would act as
protective factors against depression, while maladaptive coping styles and low-quality social
support would pose risks for depression. Results of correlational analyses supported these
hypotheses and showed significant negative correlations between different forms of social
support, active coping strategies, and depressive symptoms. Conversely, passive coping
strategies showed positive correlations with depressive symptoms. These findings highlight
the importance of social support and active coping mechanisms in reducing the risk of
depression. However, limitations such as the cross-sectional design and sampling bias
warrant cautious interpretation. Future research should use longitudinal approaches and
seek diverse samples of participants to improve the generalizability of the findings. Overall,
this study highlights the crucial role of social support and coping strategies in improving
mental health among young adults and provides information for target-specific interventions
aimed at reducing the burden of depression.
