Abstract
Psychological well-being in young adults is a concern because the emotional and environmental pressures faced during this phase can affect an individual's ability to manage life, build positive relationships, and achieve meaningful life goals. This study aims to analyze the influence of dating violence and self-compassion on psychological well-being among young adults in Karawang Regency. This study used a quantitative approach with a causal design. Participants were 399 young adults aged 18–29 who were currently or had been in a relationship and resided in Karawang Regency. The sampling technique used convenience sampling. Data was collected using Psychological well-being Scale, The Revised Conflict Tactics Scale(CTS2), andSelf-compassion Scale(SCS). Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics. The results of the study showed that violence in dating andself-compassionsi multaneously has a significant effect onpsychological well-being(F = 285.628; p < 0.001). Partially, violence in dating has a negative and significant effect (β = -0.190; p < 0.001), whileself-compassionhas a positive and significant effect (β = 0.640; p < 0.001) on psychological well-being. Both variables contributed 58.9% to psychological well-being. This finding indicates that the increaseself-compassion and decreasing experiences of dating violence play a role in increasing psychological well-beingin young adults.
