Abstract
Existing research highlights a connection between perceived parental support and stress, but primarily among adolescents rather than college students. The current study examined the association between parental support and stress and explored generational status as a moderator, with the expectation that this relationship would be stronger for first-generation students. Data were collected using an anonymous online survey distributed via social media websites. Participants were current college students between the ages of 18 and 30 (N = 101). Consistent with previous findings, family support was associated with stress, however, when first-generation and continuing generation college students were analyzed separately, results revealed a stronger correlation among first- generation college students. The difference in strength of the two correlations was not statistically significant.
