Abstract :
Quarter life crisis is a crucial discussion related to mental health among late adolescents and early adults,
because at that time individuals will experience various uncertainties and significant changes in their lives, starting from
role transitions, social responsibilities and environmental demands that can affect the individual's psychological condition.
In moments of uncertainty and change, a compassionate attitude towards oneself is expected to help individuals see the
positive side of the situation by appreciating small achievements, failures and kindness received as a form of gratitude that
can help relieve stress and anxiety during the quarter life crisis so that it can form a healthier and more prosperous
individual mentality. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between self-compassion and quarter life crisis
in emerging adulthood. This study used a quantitative method using the Quarter Life Crisis Scale (QLCS), Self-
Compassion Scale (SCS). The results of this research show that self-compassion has a relationship with quarter life crisis
with scores r = 0.192 (p <0.01). It means that the higher the self-compassion score, the lower the quarter life crisis score.
