Adolescence or junior high school students are in a crucial developmental phase for identity formation and self-esteem. Family cohesion plays a crucial role in this developmental period. Adolescents can achieve high self-esteem if they grow up in a cohesive family. Therefore, adolescents and all family members are required to respect and love each other to achieve a cohesive family environment, thereby enhancing the self-esteem of both adolescents and other family members. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family cohesiveness and self-esteem in students. This study was quantitative with a correlational research design. The study involved 249 students at a school in Pasuruan. The research method used was simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using Pearson's product-moment test. The measuring instrument used was the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) developed by Rosenberg and adapted by Maroqi with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.806, and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III (FACES III) measuring tool developed by Olson. This study found a positive relationship between family cohesiveness and self-esteem in students.
