This research explored the psychological factors perceived social support as related to resilience among young and middle-aged group. Through quantitative approach involving questionnaire perceived social support and resilience was measured among young and middle-aged group. The sample that was selected for this study consisted young adults ranging from the age 17–26-year-olds and middle age adults ranging from the age 27–36-year-olds. A total of 100 responses were collected to get the suitable representation. Research revealed that the relationship between perceived social support and resilience was found to be positively corelated which means that as the social support increases the resilience level of the individual also increases which empowers an individual to deal with challenges of life. Perceived social support was positively corelated .287** to resilience at 0.01 level of significance. Perceived social support is related to resilience because individuals who perceive themselves as having strong support from their social network may be better equipped to cope with adversity and bounce back from challenges. Feeling supported and cared for by others can provide a sense of security and confidence, which can booster one's resilience in navigating difficult situations.
