This research is motivated by the dynamics of subjective well-being among students in early adulthood, a period characterized by academic demands, social adjustments, and psychological stress that can influence their evaluations of life. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-control and subjective well-being in college students. A quantitative correlational design was used to analyze the relationship among variables. The study participants were 177 undergraduate Psychology students selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection was conducted using the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) to measure self-control, as well as the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) and the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) to measure subjective well-being. Data analysis used Pearson correlation after the normality assumption test was met. The results showed a strong and significant positive relationship between self-control and subjective well-being (r = 0.699; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that students with higher levels of self-control tend to have better subjective well-being, both in terms of cognitive evaluation and affective balance. The research findings underscore the importance of self-control as a psychological factor related to students' subjective well-being.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh dinamika kesejahteraan subjektif pada mahasiswa yang berada pada fase dewasa awal. Fase dimana individu menghadapi tuntutan akademik, penyesuaian sosial, serta tekanan psikologis yang berpotensi memengaruhi evaluasi terhadap kehidupan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan antara kontrol diri dan kesejahteraan subjektif pada mahasiswa. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan antar variabel. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 177 mahasiswa S1 Psikologi Universitas Negeri Surabaya yang dipilih melalui stratified random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan meliputi Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) untuk mengukur kontrol diri serta Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) dan Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) untuk mengukur kesejahteraan subjektif. Analisis data menggunakan korelasi Pearson setelah uji asumsi normalitas terpenuhi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif yang kuat dan signifikan antara kontrol diri dan kesejahteraan subjektif (r = 0,699; p < 0,05). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa mahasiswa dengan tingkat kontrol diri yang lebih tinggi cenderung memiliki kesejahteraan subjektif yang lebih baik, baik dari aspek evaluasi kognitif maupun keseimbangan afektif. Hasil penelitian menegaskan pentingnya kontrol diri sebagai faktor psikologis yang berkaitan dengan kesejahteraan subjektif mahasiswa.
