<![CDATA[This study examined the relationship between psychological well-being and online shopping addiction among Grade 11 students at SMA Negeri 3 Medan in the 2025/2026 academic year and described the distribution of both variables by gender. A quantitative correlational design was used. The respondents were 205 Grade 11 students, comprising 122 female and 83 male students. Data were collected using Likert-type psychological well-being and online shopping addiction scales that, according to the research manuscript, had undergone validity and reliability testing. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and linearity tests, and Pearson Product Moment correlation with IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Psychological well-being was low for 118 students (57.6%), moderate for 54 (26.3%), and high for 33 (16.1%). Online shopping addiction was low for 58 students (28.3%), moderate for 30 (14.6%), and high for 117 (57.1%). The correlation analysis yielded r = -.454 with p < .001 (N = 205), indicating a statistically significant negative relationship of moderate strength. Thus, higher psychological well-being tended to be associated with lower online shopping addiction. The findings highlight the importance of school counseling services that strengthen not only behavioral control but also self-acceptance, autonomy, environmental mastery, positive relationships, personal growth, and purpose in life.]]>
