Role of Emotional Maturity and Social Support in Predicting Quarter-Life Crisis in Emerging Adulthood Using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis

This study aims to examine the role of emotional maturity and social support in predicting the level of quarter-life crisis in emerging adulthood. The employed research method was multiple linear regression analysis. The participants were individuals aged 18 to 29 years. Further, 122 participants were selected using convenience sampling. The data were collected using a questionnaire survey based on the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support to assess social support and the quarter-life crisis scale based on the theory by Robbins and Wilner. To assess emotional maturity, we used the emotional maturity scale based on the theory by Walgito. Emotional maturity and social support were important in predicting the level of quarter-life crisis in emerging adulthood. Higher levels of emotional maturity and social support were associated with lower levels of quarter-life crisis experiences in emerging adulthood.
