Hubungan antara Keterlibatan Ayah dan Kesejahteraan Subjektif pada Remaja di Kota Bandung
Abstract
Abstract. In Indonesia, parental involvement is crucial for adolescent development, yet the specific contribution of fathers remains underexplored. This study examines the relationship between father involvement and adolescent subjective well-being (SWB) in Bandung. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 624 adolescents (50.16% female; 49.84% male) living with their fathers. Father involvement was measured using the Nurturant Fathering Scale (NFS), while SWB was assessed through life satisfaction (CW-SWBS5), positive affect, and negative affect (CW-PNAS). Linear regression analysis examined these relationships, considering gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and living arrangements. Findings indicated that male adolescents reported higher SWB (M = 76.45) than females (M = 70.24). NFS scores were positively associated with SWB (p < .001, β = 1.148), suggesting that father involvement significantly contributes to adolescent well-being. These results highlight the importance of engaged fatherhood in enhancing life satisfaction and emotional health among adolescents. Encouraging active paternal involvement may improve adolescent well-being in Indonesian families.
Abstrak. Di Indonesia, keterlibatan orang tua sangat penting bagi perkembangan remaja, namun kontribusi spesifik ayah masih kurang dieksplorasi. Studi ini meneliti hubungan antara keterlibatan ayah dan kesejahteraan subjektif (SWB) remaja di Bandung. Survei cross-sectional dilakukan terhadap 624 remaja (50,16% perempuan; 49,84% laki-laki) yang tinggal bersama ayah mereka. Keterlibatan ayah diukur menggunakan Nurturant Fathering Scale (NFS), sedangkan SWB dinilai melalui kepuasan hidup (CW-SWBS5), afek positif, dan afek negatif (CW-PNAS). Analisis regresi linier meneliti hubungan ini, dengan mempertimbangkan jenis kelamin, status sosial ekonomi (SES), dan pengaturan tempat tinggal. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa remaja laki-laki melaporkan SWB yang lebih tinggi (M = 76,45) daripada perempuan (M = 70,24). Skor NFS berasosiasi positif dengan SWB (p < .001, β = 1,148), yang menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan ayah berkontribusi signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan remaja. Hasil ini menyoroti pentingnya keterlibatan ayah dalam meningkatkan kepuasan hidup dan kesehatan emosional di kalangan remaja. Mendorong keterlibatan aktif ayah dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan remaja dalam keluarga Indonesia.
