Abstract
The present research aimed to investigate the relationship of
Domestic Migrant Stress, Social Support, Resilience, and
Psychological Well-being of Baluchistan’s Students Enrolled in
Universities of Lahore. It is hypothesized that: there would likely
to be a negative relationship between domestic migrant stress and
resilience as well as between social support and domestic migrant
stress in Balochistan students enrolled in universities of Lahore.
Furthermore it’s also hypothesized that there is positive relation
between social support, resilience and psychological well being in
Baluchistan students enrolled in universities of Lahore.
Furthermore it is also hypothesized that domestic migrant stress,
social support, and resilience are predictors of psychological
wellbeing of Baluchistan’s students studying in government and
private universities of Lahore. The sample collected through
Purposive sampling which consists of Baluchistan’s students with
the age range of 18-28 years. Domestic Migration Stress
Questionnaire (DMSQ), Social Support, Resilience State Trait
Inventory (Hiew, 2002), and Ryff Psychological Well being
Questionnaire, were used to measure Domestic Migrant Stress,
Social Support, Resilience and Psychological Wellbeing
respectively. Migrant related stress, (Separation, Rejection, lack
of self-confidence, and maladaptation) depicted negative
relationship with psychological wellbeing (Positive relation,
Autonomy, Environmental, Personal growth, Purpose in life, and
Self-acceptance), social support (social support satisfaction) and
resilience (Inter trait, Intra trait, Inter State, and Intra state). On
the other hand resilience showed positive relationship with social
support and psychological wellbeing (Positive relation,
Autonomy, Environmental, Personal growth, Purpose in life, and
Self-acceptance). While social support also showed positive
relationship with psychological wellbeing and its subscales. The
present study will help to create awareness that how social
support, resilience can help the domestic migrant students to cope
