The present study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived social support and antisocial attitudes among college students.A quantitative, correlational research design was employed. The sample consisted of 150 undergraduate and postgraduate students aged between 18 and 25 years, selected through convenient sampling from colleges. Standardized tools: Socio-demographic data sheet,Perceived Social Support and Antisocial Attitude.were administered to obtain basic details, measure perceived social support and antisocial attitudes, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficient.The results indicated that participants reported moderately high levels of perceived social support and moderate levels of antisocial attitudes. A statistically significant but weak negative correlation was found between perceived social support and antisocial attitudes, suggesting that students who perceive greater social support are somewhat less likely to endorse antisocial tendencies. While the strength of the relationship was modest, the findings underscore the role of social support as a buffering factor against the development of maladaptive attitudes.The study highlights the importance of strengthening supportive networks in academic and familial contexts to mitigate antisocial orientations among students.
