There is little research on the relationship between psychological well-being and social support, specially with college students. In addition, there are few studies on sex differences and the level of education in relation to psychological well-being and social support. To assess the relationship between the level of psychological well-being and social support Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales and The MOS Social Support Questionnaire were used. We recruited a sample of 768 college undergraduates and graduates by availability. The results show low to moderate correlations between the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scales and Social Support subscales. Women exhibited significantly higher means on sub-scales of personal growth and purpose in life. A one-way ANOVA analysis and its respective post-hoc test, indicate that there are significant differences between undergraduate and doctoral levels for three of the dependent variables examined.}, keywords = {Psicologia del Bienestar}, keywords = {Escalas de bienestar psicológico; apoyo social; estudiantes universitarios;}, keywords = {Escalas de bienestar psicológico; apoyo social; estudiantes universitarios;}, keywords = {Escalas de bem estar psicológico, apoio social, estudantes universitários}, keywords = {Escalas de bem estar psicológico, apoio social, estudantes universitários}, title = {Dimensions of Psychological Well-Being and Perceived Social Support in Relation to Sex and Level of Study in University Students}, title = {Dimensiones de bienestar psicológico y apoyo social percibido con relación al sexo y nivel de estudio en universitarios}, title = {Dimensões de bem estar psicológico e apoio social percebido com relação ao gênero e nível de estudo em universitários}, publisher = {Universidad del Rosario}, keywords = {Psychological well-being scales, social support, university students}, }
