Abstract

This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between abusive behavior carried out by parents in the past with low self-esteem of individuals in adulthood. The sample of this study used 144 respondents with criteria for adults aged 20-30 years from various regions, especially in the Greater Jakarta area. The sample was carried out by purposive sampling method. Data collection using 2 scales. The abusive behavior scale was adapted from the CATS measurement tool by Barbara Sanders and Evvie (1995) and the self-esteem scale by Sorensen (2005). Statistical analysis method using correlation. Based on the correlation test, the results obtained with a value of r = 0.230 and p = 0.006 (< 0.050). This shows that there is a significant positive relationship between abusive behavior carried out by parents in the past and low self-esteem of individuals in adulthood. So, the higher the abusive behavior carried out by parents in the past, the higher the feelings of low self-esteem that individuals have in their adult years.
