Empirical Analysis of the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Status and Psychological Well-Being in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and psychological well-being in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 70 respondents via a Likert scale-based questionnaire. The study measured socioeconomic factors such as income, education, and employment, and their association with psychological well-being indicators including life satisfaction, emotional balance, and personal growth. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between SES and psychological well-being, with income, education, and employment all showing positive associations with life satisfaction, emotional balance, and personal growth. The findings suggest that individuals with higher socioeconomic status experience better mental health outcomes, highlighting the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities to enhance psychological well-being in Indonesia.
