Abstract

Each individual must possess the resilience to overcome the tests in their life. Covid-19 survivors need to have the resilience to be able to return to everyday life. In real life, not all Covid-19 survivors have high resilience. This research aimed to examine the mediating effect of social support in the relationship between gratitude and resilience in Covid-19 survivors. The hypotheses are (1). Gratitude correlates positively with social support; (2). Social support correlates positively with resilience; (3). Gratitude correlates positively with resilience; (4). Social support as a mediator of the relationship between gratitude and resilience. This is quantitative research. The sample was 114 Covid-19 survivor students consisting of 36 men and 78 women. Data were collected using a gratitude scale, a social support scale, and a resilience scale. Data analysis was conducted by SEM PLS. The results showed that social support does not mediate the relationship between gratitude and resilience in Covid-19 survivors. However, other results were found: (1). Gratitude is directly correlated positively with social support; (2). Social support does not correlate with resilience; (3). Gratitude is directly correlated positively with resilience. The contribution of gratitude and social support to the resilience of Covid-19 survivors is 40.1%. The finding of this research implies strengthening the resilience of Covid-19 survivors by increasing gratitude.
