Abstract

Final-year students are in the emerging adulthood phase or the transition between late adolescence and early adulthood, they experience many changes and concerns in various aspects. Instability in these phases can be referred to as Quarter-Life Crisis, anxiety and social support are included in the factors that cause Quarter-Life Crisis. Quantitative methods and accidental sampling techniques were used with the criteria of final year students who were in thesis preparation and were aged between 18 and 30 years. The instruments used were Quarter-Life Crisis Scale (QLS), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MPSS) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). The results of the analysis show that social support plays a significant negative role on anxiety (2,9%), anxiety plays a significant positive role on Quarter-Life Crisis (20,2%) and anxiety is able to mediate the relationship between social support and Quarter-Life Crisis (p-value 0,00851461 < 0,05). It is hoped that through this research, individuals who have friends or family or relatives who are preparing a thesis can provide more support to them, in order to minimize anxiety and Quarter-Life Crisis owned by students who are in thesis preparation.
