Abstract
Psychological well-being is a condition where an individual can accept themselves well, acknowledge their past experiences, maintain good relationships with others, and have clear and meaningful goals. This study aims to gather information and determine whether there is a relationship between authoritarian parenting by parents (both mother and father) and the psychological well-being of adolescents. The study involved 200 adolescents aged 13-19 years and employed a quantitative correlational research design. The measurement tools used in this study included the Psychological Well-Being Scale, adapted and modified by Diener, Derrick, Robert, et al. (2009), and the Parental Authority Questionnaire, adapted by Buri (Riberio, 2009). The results of this study indicate a significant negative relationship between authoritarian parenting by both mothers and fathers and the psychological well-being of adolescents. For mothers, the authoritarian parenting style showed a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.284 with a significance value (p) of 0.000 (p < 0.05). For fathers, the authoritarian parenting style showed a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.220 with a significance value (p) of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the research hypothesis is accepted. Further discussion includes intercorrelation analysis of different aspects, difference tests, and demographic correlation tests (gender, respondents' educational level, and parents' educational level).
