Abstract

The phenomenon of dual-career families in Indonesia, which accounts for 87.05% of households, has the potential to affect adolescents’ mental health. Indonesia ranks second highest in adolescent loneliness prevalence in the ASEAN region, at 9.6%, following the Philippines. This study is a correlational quantitative research involving 105 adolescents aged 10–19 years with working parents, aiming to analyze the relationship between emotion-focused coping and the level of loneliness. The instruments used were the Loneliness Scale and the Emotion-Focused Coping Scale. The results indicated a significant but weak negative correlation (r = -0.230; p = 0.018), suggesting that higher use of emotion-focused coping is associated with lower levels of loneliness. The majority of respondents reported a moderate level of loneliness (39%) and a very high use of emotion-focused coping strategies (38.1%). These findings indicate that while emotion-focused coping may contribute to reducing loneliness, other factors are likely to have a stronger influence on the level of loneliness experienced by adolescents.
