PENGARUH KEBERFUNGSIAN KELUARGA TERHADAP KESEJAHTERAAN PSIKOLOGIS MAHASISWA RANTAU

This study was motivated by the importance of psychological well-being among students living away from home who face various demands for adaptation in a new environment. The purpose
of this study is to analyze the influence of family functioning on the psychological well-being of students living away from home. The method used was a quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis. The study sample consisted of 400 students living away from home, selected using convenience sampling. The instruments used were the General Functioning 12 (GF-12) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). The analysis results indicate that family functioning does not have a significant effect on the psychological well-being of out-of-town students (R = 0.055; R² = 0.003; p > 0.05), with a contribution of only 0.3%. This means
that the psychological well-being of students living away from home is more influenced by other factors such as adaptive ability, peer support and individual independence.
