Introduction: Perceived Social Support and Psychological Well-Being are factors that influence the strengthening of ability and feeling of confidence in older adults. Objective: To analyze the relationship between Perceived Social Support and Psychological Well-being in older adults in Metropolitan Lima. Methods: Sample of 134 older adults, with an average age of 69.1 years; of which 66 were men (49.3%) and 68 women (50.7%). They responded to the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. An analysis of correlations between both variables and an analysis of comparisons according to sex, age, marital status, occupation and persons with whom they live were also carried out. Results: A value of r = .64 was obtained, in the relationship of both variables, which means that there is a strong correlation between both. In the comparison analysis, significant differences were found when comparing the dimensions of perceived social support according to marital status and people with whom they live. In addition, psychological well-being varies according to occupation and age. Also, that there are no statistically significant differences when comparing the variables studied according to sex. It is concluded that maintaining optimal levels of both variables is important within the experience of the stage of older adulthood.
