RAHMADANI, NIM 2230108046. Thesis tittle “The Relationship Between Psychological Well-Being and Quarter-Life Crisis Among Students”. Guidance and Counseling Study Program, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Universitas Islam Negeri Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. This study is motivated by the phenomenon of the quarter-life crisis commonly experienced by students in early adulthood, characterized by confusion in determining life direction, career paths, and future goals. The main problem addressed in this study is whether there is a relationship between psychological well-being and quarter-life crisis among students of the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at Universitas Islam Negeri Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. This research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population consists of 3,064 students, with a sample of 354 respondents selected using a cluster stratified random sampling technique, where study programs serve as clusters and cohorts as strata. The research instruments include psychological well-being and quarter-life crisis scales based on the Likert model, distributed online via Google Forms. The instruments have undergone validity testing through expert judgment by Dr. Masril, M.Pd., Kons., Dr. Silvianetri, M.Pd., and Prof. Dr. Ardimen, M.Pd., Kons. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 2027 with the Spearman Rank correlation test. This method was chosen based on the assumption test results indicating that the data were normally distributed (0.200) but did not meet the linearity assumption (0.001). The findings reveal that the correlation coefficient between psychological well-being and quarter-life crisis is -0.522, indicating a significant negative relationship with a moderate strength. This implies that higher levels of psychological well-being are associated with lower levels of quarter-life crisis. Therefore, enhancing students’ psychological well-being is essential to help them navigate early adulthood more adaptively.
