To explore the impact of social support on life satisfaction among college students with psychological distress,this paper conducted a questionnaire survey on 12 undergraduate universities in eastern China and found a certain correlation be-tween social support and life satisfaction.SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 models were used for analysis,and it was found that social support of college students with psychological distress was positively correlated with life satisfaction,while emotional intelli-gence was positively correlated with life satisfaction.Emotional intelligence partially mediates the relationship between social support and life satisfaction.Therefore,it is important to attach importance to cultivating students'emotional intelligence,en-hancing their ability to perceive social support,and improving their life satisfaction.The research findings provide university teachers and managers reference and suggestions about improving the quality of life of college students with psychological dis-tress.
