Abstract

In early adolescence, the level of happiness of a teenager can influence psychological development, learning outcomes, self-esteem, ability to control oneself, emotional intelligence, and learning motivation. Identifying the level of happiness in early adolescence can be a reference for tackling the occurrence of psychological and mental developmental problems from an early age. It is feared that the wetland rural environment with natural, social and cultural characteristics will have an impact on the level of happiness of adolescents who are starting to actively access the outside world supported by advances in digital technology. This study aims to identify and describe the happiness level of early adolescents aged 12–16 years. Using a descriptive qualitative research method, this research was conducted on 46 male adolescents and 37 female adolescents in the rural wetlands of Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. Data collection was carried out through a happiness questionnaire which contained 29 questions with a scale ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that 2 students had a very high level of happiness (2.40%); 44 students have a high level of happiness (53.01%); 33 students have a moderate level of happiness (39.76%); and 4 students have a low level of happiness (4.81%). In terms of gender, female adolescents have a happiness level of 1.18% higher than males (96,7027 > 94,45652). Future research needs to be conducted to identify the factors that influence the happiness level of early adolescents in rural wetlands.
