Abstract

This study examines the role of internal locus of control and social support in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. Being exposed to COVID-19 has made the survivors psychologically and socially worse. Survivors require a certain readiness to rise. Their capability to adapt to COVID-19 should be gained once they can determine their own attributions to COVID-19 exposure and social support. This study aimed to examine the relationship between internal locus of control and social support for the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. This study involved 100 survivors of COVID-19 with a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the scale of resilience, internal locus of control, and social support constructed under Likert’s model. They were distributed via Google Forms on social media. This study found that 1) there is a relationship between internal locus of control and social support and the resilience of COVID-19 survivors; 2) there is a positive relationship between internal locus of control and the resilience of COVID-19 survivors; and 3) there is a relationship between social support and the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. Therefore, survivors’ ability to control any condition while exposed to COVID-19 and social support can accelerate their resilience. Meanwhile, the internal locus of control plays a greater role than that of social support. This study is expected to be a scientific basis in psychology for counselling clients of COVID-19 survivors.
