Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui gambaran kesejahteraan psikologis
dan dukungan emosional pasangan pada ibu empty-nester di kota Bandung. Kepada
responden berukuran 60 ibu empty-nester dilakukan pengumpulan data dengan
teknik wawancara tentang pikiran, perasaan, dan tindakan responden dalam
upayanya beradaptasi dengan keadaan sarang kosong (empty nest). Selain itu,
beberapa karakteristik demografik juga ditanyakan. Data yang dikaji dan
diinterpretasi berdasarkan konsep teoretik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini,
diketahui dimensi positive relations with others dari kesejahteraan psikologis
merupakan dimensi yang tampil signifikan pada ibu empty-nester sehingga merasa
kehidupannya di sarang kosong sebagai pengalaman positif. Perasaan positif
ditentukan oleh dukungan emosional dari pasangan. Ibu empty-nester memaknai
dimensi positive relations with others sebagai penentu kesejahteraan psikologis
yang ditunjang oleh dukungan emosional pasangan dan kelompok sebaya.
