Abstract

Quarter Life Crisis (QLC) is a psychological phenomenon commonly experienced by students during the transition phase to young adulthood, characterized by confusion, anxiety, and social pressure that affect mental well-being. This study aims to understand the role of interpersonal communication in helping psychology students at Mercu Buana University Yogyakarta (UMBY) from the 2023 cohort cope with QLC. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the phenomenological method, involving six informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, nonverbal observation, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction and thematic techniques. The results of the study indicate that the five principles of interpersonal communication according to DeVito openness, empathy, support, positive attitude, and equality play a crucial role in helping students manage their emotions, reduce anxiety, and enhance resilience and self-confidence. A supportive, non-judgmental, and equitable communication environment is key to creating psychological safety. This study recommends that universities, faculty, and student organizations foster a culture of open and empathetic communication to support students' mental health in facing the challenges of QLC.
