      ab: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between Family functioning, social support, academic performance and serf-esteem among young adults. A single survey was carried out to gather data from the subjects. The sample consisted of 378 students, aged between 18 to 26 years old. The samples were drawn through a convenience and stratified sampling from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman and Sunway University College, Malaysia. Bivariate correlation and linear regression were used to analyse the relationships between the variables. T-test was also employed to in order to find out the differences between genders on the academic performance and serf-esteem. The results revealed that there was a significant relationship between family functioning and social support on students' self-esteem. Nevertheless, no correlation was found between family functioning and social support on the students' academic performance. On the other hand, females outperformed their male counterparts in their academic performance, but showed no significant differences in their self-esteem.
