Abstract: In this study, young adults between age 18 and 25 years were asked to reflect on their perceptions of social support and gratitude. Data were gathered by an online google sheet survey utilizing the GQ-6 and MSPSS scales, and a cross-sectional survey methodology was used. A total of 80 individuals were gathered through convenience sampling. A substantial positive association between gratitude and perceived social support was discovered by the study. Among the many good feelings, gratitude is one. It's important to concentrate on the positive aspects of our life and express gratitude for what we have. Young people who obtain assistance from others feel less alone and are appreciative of the support they receive. The findings revealed that young adults perceived social support are significantly influenced by gratitude. These results imply that encouraging gratitude may be a viable method for boosting social support and enhancing the well-being of young people.
