Abstract
Social support helps individuals to reduce the amount of stress experienced and to cope better in dealing with stressful life situations (Dusselier, Dunn, Wang, Shelley, & Whalen, 2005). Mother plays an important role in raising a child to adulthood and equipping that child with the necessary skills and social support to enter successfully into society (Spoth & Conroy, 1993).In view of this the present study is conducted to study the impact of social support on self-efficacy among students of working and non-working mothers. Perceived Social Support Scales and General Self-Efficacy Scale are administered on sample of 120 undergraduate students. The results reveled that, students of working and non-working mothers with high social support have higher self-efficacy than the students of working and non-working mothers with low social support.
