Abstract
Early adulthood was prone to psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, unhappiness, depression caused by dissatisfaction in life. This dissatisfaction is because early adulthood requires one to be independently responsible for one’s life such as work, education, relationships, and finance. One of the factors that leads individuals to life satisfaction is gratitude, where gratitude forms a positive understanding, and it has been shown to prevent depression and stress. The purpose of this study is to test whether there is a relationship between early adult life satisfaction and coexistence in Madiun City. The number of samples in this study was 200 early adults, with quota sampling techniques. Data collection uses the scale of coexistence and the scale of life satisfaction that researchers have compiled. Based on the hypothesis test results of 0.000 (p ± 0.05) with a coefficient correlation value of 0.745 the hypothesis is accepted that there is a significant relationship between life satisfaction variables and early adulthood in Madiun City. The higher the size, the higher the life satisfaction, the higher the early adulthood in Madiun City, and the lower the life satisfaction, the lower the early adulthood in Madiun City.
