Abstract: Violence in dating relationships is a rife phenomenon in Indonesia. This violence is experienced by many women and has a negative impact on the psychological side. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of forgiveness and social support on psychological well-being in women survivors of violence in dating relationships, partially or simultaneously. The approach of this study is descriptive quantitative. The research participants were 143 women survivors of violence in dating relationships. The study instruments include the forgiveness scale, social support scale, and the psychological well-being scale which is the result of adaptation. The results showed that forgiveness and social support had a significant effect on psychological well-being either partially or simultaneously. The implication of this research is that women who have survived dating violence need to understand the importance of forgiveness and social support. If the problems experienced are too complicated and interfere daily activities, immediately consult to a psychologist or psychiatrist for further treatment.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menguji peran forgiveness dan dukungan sosial terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis pada perempuan penyintas kekerasan dalam hubungan pacaran secara parsial maupun simultan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif yang berjenis deskriptif. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 143 perempuan penyintas kekerasan dalam hubungan pacaran. Instrumen penelitian diantaranya skala forgiveness, skala dukungan sosial, dan skala kesejahteraan psikologis yang merupakan hasil adaptasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa forgiveness dan dukungan sosial berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis baik secara parsial dan simultan dimana forgiveness memberikan kontribusi sebesar 17.6% dan dukungan sosial sebesar 49%. Secara simultan forgiveness dan dukungan sosial memberikan kontribusi sebesar 24.1% dan sisanya 75.9% dipengaruhi faktor lain. Hal tersebut berarti semakin tinggi forgiveness dan dukungan sosial yang dimiliki oleh penyintas kekerasan dalam pacaran maka akan semakin tinggi pula kesejahteraan psikologisnya.Implikasi penelitian ini adalah perempuan penyintas kekerasan dalam pacaran perlu memahami pentingnya forgiveness (pemaafan) dan dukungan sosial. Apabila permasalahan yang dialami terlalu complicated dan sampai mengganggu aktivitas, segera konsultasikan ke psikolog atau psikiater untuk penanganan lebih lanjut.
