The major aim of the study was to explore the impact of supervisor
support on depressive symptoms in research students of BS, MSc,
MPhil and PhD. Moreover, the study investigated the moderating role
of time management for the relationship of supervisor support with
depressive symptoms. The sample of research students (N = 154), age
range of 21 to 39 years (M = 23.47, SD = 3.57), was recruited from
various departments of the University of Sargodha. Postgraduate
Research Experience Scale (Australian Council for Education
Research, 1999), Self Management sub-scale of Self-Management
Scale (Xue & Sun, 2011) and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale
(Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) were individually administered.
Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that supervisor support was
strong predictor of depressive symptoms in research students. Time
management skill acted as moderator such that the negative relationship
between supervisory support and depressive symptoms was found only
when the level of the time management skills was low. The study has
important implications for educational psychologists and students.
