Correlation Between Self-Adjustment and Psychological Well-Being of Fathers

Abstract

Psychological well-being is the condition of individuals who are able to assess themselves and others positively, be able to make decisions independently, and have clear life goals. Individuals who have good psychological well-being will feel happy and satisfied with the life they have. Psychological well-being is related to the individual’s personality, while the personality of each individual will be different in responding to self-adjustment and will appear different according to how the individual adjusts. Based on this, psychological well-being is influenced by self-adjustment. A man who is a father, husband, and head of family who can adjust well will have a harmonious and prosperous life in his marriage. This research applied a correlational quantitative method with an independent variable of self-adjustment and a dependent variable of psychological well-being. Data were collected using a psychological well-being scale and a self-adjustment scale. 100 fathers with an age range from 19 to 40 years were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed through the Pearson product-moment correlation test. The correlation coefficient value in this study was 0.601 with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). These findings showed that there was a significant positive relationship between self-adjustment and psychological well-being in fathers.
