Divorced parents have negative consequences and have an influence on the psychological condition of children in living their lives. Children from divorced families showed poor adjustments compared to children from non-divorced families. This is certainly experienced by children of various ages, including young adults. This study aimed at finding out how self-efficacy is owned by young adults who are victims of parental divorce, and how they perceive and interpret a divorce.

The researcher conducted in-depth interviews to reveal the meaning of the phenomenon experienced and realized by the subjects. Subjects were children of divorced parents, aged 20-25 years, both parents are still there, and live with mother. Data analysis uses phenomenological analysis techniques. The results showed a description of how subjects understood their experience of parental divorce and how their self-efficacy was demonstrated through cognitive, motivation, affection, and selection processes as long as they lived a life of divorced parents. This research also gives advice of the importance of the role of family and the closest person in helping children victims of parental divorce in increasing their self-efficacy in order to have readiness in facing the future.
