The scale was developed by Zimet, Dahlem & Farley in1988. There were two groups i.e. high school and intermediate students therefore t-test applied for the Statistical analysis. Our result was found significant (t-value -2.21, p<0.029), the mean value of high school students and intermediate students are 69.40, 73.10 respectively. It shows that intermediate students have greater level of social support as compared to high school students. The implication of the study could be used to promote perceived social support.
