Abstract

One of the individual needs during childhood development is emotional needs, whereas this can be satisfied when parents carry out their responsibilities in providing guidance and warmth. Psychological neglect behaviour in children occurs when parents do not present supervision and fondness. In previous studies, it was dominantly found that individual victims of psychological neglect have negative self-esteem and have minimal gratitude values that could harm lives. This study aims to look at the role of gratitude toward to self-esteem in early adult individuals who are victims of psychological neglect in childhood. The data were collected using the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and the gratitude questionnaire six form. The study was carried on 170 subjects of psychological neglect in childhood victims, aged 21-40 years old using a non-experimental quantitative research design. This study found that there is a significant role of self-esteem as predictor on gratitude, so that self-esteem specifically affect gratitude in the amount of 39,3%.
