Instrument validity showed that 40 items were valid with coefficient between 0.221 – 0.738. Reliability test gained coefficient 0.926, meaning that the test was reliable. The data analysis used linier regression. The findings showed that social supports had various predictions to improvement of each counselors’ performance aspects.
