In order to analyze data, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and simple regression analysis. The results of the study showed that a significant negative relationship among social support perceived from family, peer and teacher and negative orientation problem solving, impulsive-careless problem solving and avoidance problem solving. We also identified a significant positive relationship between social support from perceived family and teacher support and positive orientation problem solving and also a significant positive relationship between social support perceived from family, peer and teacher support and rational problem solving. The results also showed that perceived social support from family, peer and teacher significantly predicted social problem solving.
