The research method uses a quantitative approach, and the sampling technique uses purposive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used in this study are the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Satisfaction Scale with Life (SWLS). Data analysis used multiple linear regression tests. The results showed that self-compassion and emotion regulation can predict life satisfaction with a significant value of 0.000. However, self-compassion has no significant effect on life satisfaction (p>0.05), while emotion regulation has a significant positive correlation with life satisfaction (p=0.000). Another variable that was tested and had an association with life satisfaction was marital status. The effect of self-compassion and emotion regulation on life satisfaction is 18%. It can be concluded that it is important for individuals to have self-compassion that helps to accept the situation that occurs and emotion regulation that can increase one's life satisfaction to have better psychological well-being.
