The sample was composed of 383 university students (median age = 22.41, SD = 2.89). Descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s a coefficient and the Confirmative Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed. To verify aspects of concurrent validity, the scale was administrated together with the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The scale possesses good internal concurrent validity and the characteristics adequate for accurate measurement of perceived social support in an Italian context as well.
