Abstract

Millennial adolescents are a generation who are very aware of the use of technology and have a mindset that tends to be instant (Bhakti and Safitri 2017). Following this stage of development, adolescents are also experiencing various emotional problems due to the search for self-identity. The coping strategies used by adolescents in solving their problems are not the same as each other, which impacts psychological well-being. This study aimed to explore psychological problems with coping strategies to find a model to improve psychological well-being in millennial adolescents in East Java. The research method used is quantitative correlation and descriptive. Respondents used were teenagers (15–18 years), as many as 1,184 people spread from 20 cities and districts in East Java. The scales used are the YSR Scale (Achenbach and Rescorla 2001) and the WCC-R (Cousson et al. 1996). The results showed that thought problems, anxiety/depression, and attention problems were strong tendencies experienced by the majority of adolescents. Meanwhile, the coping strategy adolescents use is emotion-focused coping and seeking social support. Coping strategies are proven to correlate with adolescent psychological problems. Namely, emotion-focused coping correlates more strongly with adolescent psychological problems than seeking social support. However, problem-focused coping in adolescents has no significant relationship to their problems.
