<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the relationship between self-compassion and quarter-life crisis in final-semester out-of-school students. Final-semester out-of-school students are in the emerging adulthood phase, characterized by various developmental demands, including completing studies, career preparation, financial considerations, and family expectations. These pressures can give rise to anxiety, confusion, and uncertainty about the future, leading to a quarter-life crisis. Self-compassion is an important psychological factor because it helps individuals accept themselves, understand failure as part of life, and respond to pressure more adaptively. This study used a quantitative, correlational approach. The research subjects were 100 final-semester out-of-school students at UKSW, obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The research instruments used a self-compassion scale and a quarter-life crisis scale. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson product-moment correlation test. The results showed a negative and significant relationship between self-compassion and quarter-life crisis, with a correlation coefficient value of r = -0.442 and a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). These results indicate that the higher a student's self-compassion, the lower the level of quarter-life crisis they experience. Conversely, the lower the self-compassion, the higher the perceived quarter-life crisis. This study confirms that self-compassion plays a protective role in helping final-semester students from other countries cope with the stress and uncertainty of emerging adulthood. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara self-compassion dan quarter-life crisis pada mahasiswa rantau semester akhir. Mahasiswa rantau semester akhir berada pada fase emerging adulthood yang ditandai dengan berbagai tuntutan perkembangan, seperti penyelesaian studi, persiapan karier, kondisi finansial, dan harapan keluarga. Tekanan tersebut dapat memunculkan kecemasan, kebingungan, dan ketidakpastian mengenai masa depan yang mengarah pada quarter-life crisis. Self-compassion menjadi salah satu faktor psikologis yang penting karena membantu individu menerima diri, memahami kegagalan sebagai bagian dari pengalaman hidup, serta menghadapi tekanan secara lebih adaptif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode korelasional. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 100 mahasiswa rantau semester akhir di UKSW yang diperoleh menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan skala self-compassion dan skala quarter-life crisis. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson product moment. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan negatif dan signifikan antara self-compassion dan quarter-life crisis dengan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar r = -0,442 dan nilai signifikansi sebesar p = 0,000 (p < 0,05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi self-compassion yang dimiliki mahasiswa, maka semakin rendah tingkat quarter-life crisis yang dialami. Sebaliknya, semakin rendah self-compassion, maka semakin tinggi quarter-life crisis yang dirasakan. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa self-compassion berperan sebagai faktor protektif dalam membantu mahasiswa rantau semester akhir menghadapi tekanan dan ketidakpastian pada masa emerging adulthood. ]]>
