Psychological flourishing and social support in young Syrian adults: a study on psychosocial health

The aim of this study is to investigate multidimensional perceived social support levels in young adult Syrian migrants, and their perceptions of psychological flourishing in terms of socio-demographic variables and to reveal the impacts of multidimensional perceived social support levels on psychological flourishing. The study population consists of young adult Syrian migrants (aged 18-35 years) living in Kilis province of Turkey. The study results revealed a weak positive correlation between the multidimensional perceived social support and psychological flourishing. The multidimensional perceived social support explains 11% of the total variance of psychological flourishing. Furthermore, a number of significant differences were found in the study between psychological flourishing and the variables of having children, having a plan to return to Syria, having any disability or serious medical condition, educational status, and the ability of young Syrian adults to express themselves in public institutions in Turkey.
