Abstract

Locus of control is a subjective perception of who, or what controls events that occur in an individual’s life. Each individual needs to instill confidence in the ability to control their own life, so that individuals are aware of their capacity to solve various life problems independently. In solving various problems, resilience is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between locus of control and resilience in adolescents whose parents are divorced. This study involved 282 participants with an age range of 13 to 21 years and used quantitative methods. The results of this study showed r = 0.777 and p = 0.000 <0.05. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a positive and strong relationship between locus of control and resilience in adolescents whose parents are divorced, which means that the locus of control possessed by adolescents can affect how adolescents deal with their parents’ divorce.
