This study aims to analyze the influence of authoritarian parenting on the psychological well-being of students at SMA Taruna Gajah Mada Metro. This study uses a quantitative method with a simple linear regression analysis on 155 students selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was carried out using two scales, namely the PAQ scale with validity (ps<.001) = 0.94 and reliability (α = 0.77-0.92) and the PWB scale with validity (V=0.6-0.95) and reality (α=0.543-0.828). The results of the analysis showed that two classical assumption tests, namely the normality and linearity tests, were met, with a significance value of >0.05. The results of the simple linear regression test also show that authoritarian parenting has a significant influence on the psychological well-being of students. This can be seen from the significance value of less than 0.05, which is 0.000. The simple linear regression equation obtained is Y = 38.284 + 0.166X with the result of the R Square value of 0.13. So it can be concluded that authoritarian parenting has a significant influence, which is 13% on the psychological well-being of students at SMA Taruna Gajah Mada Metro.
