Internalizing Problems and Perceived Family Social Support among Adolescents
Downloads
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived family social support and internalizing problems among adolescents through a correlational, quantitative study. A total of 689 adolescents in Muhammadiyah senior high school, aged between 15 and 18 years, who resided with their family and/or parents in the East Java Province (Indonesia) were recruited through a simple random sampling. The study used the Perceived Social Support-Family (PSS-Fa) scale and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Linear regression indicated a significant relationship between perceived family social support towards adolescent internalizing problems. This finding confirms the notable role of parents in preventing internalizing problems in adolescence.
