In order to explore the relationship between social support, learning engagement, and core self-evaluation among university students, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on 50 university students using the Adolescent Social Support Scale, Learning Engagement Scale, and Core Self-evaluation Scale. The results showed that: (1) the social support, learning engagement, and core self-evaluation of university students were all at a medium to high level; (2) social support of university students had a positive predictive effect on core self-evaluation and learning engagement; (3) the core self-evaluation of university students did not play a mediating role between social support and learning engagement.
