Abstract

The reactions of children experiencing parental divorce are diverse. Not all children who become victim of divorce are negatively affected by the separation of their parents. However, the divorce of parents must have consequences and effects on the condition of children or young adults in living their lives. The purpose of this study is to find out what personalities possessed by young adults with divorced parents and how they interpret parental divorce. The research method used is qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews were conducted by the researcher to uncover the meaning of phenomena experienced by the subjects. Research subjects were young adults who had divorced parents, aged 18–26 years, and both parents were still alive. Data were analyzed using a phenomenological analysis technique. The results show that a hardiness personality description has been developed in a new theme of hardiness personality, which is optimistic for a better future, looking at life positively, grateful, and unwilling to run away from the problems or trying to do harmful things.
