In this study, the relation of social support perceived in family with self-perception was researched. According to the research results, women, single individuals and those who had communication problems within the family was found higher anxiety level than others. Both positive self-perception and level of social-support perceived from the family of married individuals were found higher than single ones. As level of social support perceived from the family rose and positive self-perception increased, severity of anxiety the individuals went through decreased. As the social support perceived from the family rose, positive self-perception of the individuals increased as well. The need for social support in every period of life is also significant in family.
