Abstract :The purpose of this study is to determine the level of grit and perceived social support in predicting adolescents\' future expectations during the pandemic period. The sample of the research conducted with the correlational model consisted of 573 high school students. Three scales were used together with the demographic information form created by the researchers to collect the data. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between positive future expectations and grit, and there is also a positive and significant relationship between positive future expectations and perceived social support. Finally, it was concluded that grit and perceived social support significantly predicted positive future expectations, while grit predicted positive future expectations at a higher level than perceived social support. These findings suggest that positive future expectations are associated with grit and perceived social support. Practitioners who want to positively influence adolescents\' future expectations can assist them in these areas.
