Abstract

This study explores the psychological well-being of single mothers in Kuanheum Village, Kupang Regency. As single mothers face both emotional and financial challenges, their psychological condition deserves further study. The research used a descriptive quantitative approach with 52 participants. Data were collected using the Psychological Well-Being Scale based on Ryff's six dimensions. Results show that most participants (61.5%) had a moderate level of psychological well-being, with personal growth as the most developed dimension and positive relations with others as the least. These findings underscore the need for community support to enhance the psychological well-being of single mothers, especially in rural settings.

Abstract

Introduction Emotional dependence refers to an excessive affective need for a romantic partner as the primary source of security, emotional support, and self-validation. Aim This qualitative descriptive study explored the characteristics of emotional dependence among young adult dating couples in Kupang City. Six participants with high emotional dependence, identified using the Cuestionario de Dependencia Emocional (CDE), were selected through purposive sampling and interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed thematically and validated through member checking. Result Six themes emerged: affective needs toward the partner, fear of loss or separation, perceptions of the partner, sacrifices in the relationship, the relationship’s centrality in life, and experiences of conflict and separation threats. Participants viewed their partners as their primary emotional resource, exhibited intense communication needs, prioritized their partners’ needs over their own, and experienced emotional distress during conflicts. Conclusion These findings highlight emotional dependence as a pattern shaping cognition, emotion, and behavior in young adults’ romantic relationships.
