The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of social support in Japanese university students (male=220, female= 204), that is, both a main effect (direct effect) on psychological well-being and a buffering effect against daily life stress. A stress measure consists of four subscales, and a social support measure is designed with subscales measuring three support sources, family support, same sex friends support, and opposite sex friends support. In male students, same sex friends support had a main effect, and the other two subscales had no main effects and had buffering effects only against existential stress. In female students, all subscales had main effects, and family support had an inverse buffering effect that had a relation between social support and psychological well-being under low stress, not under high stress.
