Abstract

Studies on the relationship between perceived parental support (PPS) and subjective well-being (SWB) were mostly conducted in individualistic countries or cohort of adolescents. This study aims to provide empirical evidence for the relationship between PPS and SWB in emerging adults in Indonesia, which is considered to have a predominantly collectivistic culture. Specifically, the present study identifies the types of PPS (attachment, social integration, opportunity for nurturance, reassurance or worth, reliable alliance, and guidance) that play a significant contribution to emerging adults’ SWB. A total of 315 emerging adults (M_age = 21.18, SD = 1.39, 72.06% female, 81.90% college students, and 18.10% college graduates) participated in this study. The structural equation model showed that PPS is significantly related to SWB. In addition, guidance is the only type of PPS that has a statistically significant association with SWB. Potential explanations in respect to Indonesian collectivistic culture are discussed.
