Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the flourishing condition of adolescent boys with foster child status. The research applied a quantitative method conducted at LPKA Class I Kutoarjo and LPKA Class II Yogyakarta. The sample consisted of 97 children selected through simple random sampling. The measuring instrument used was the Flourishing Scale, which includes six aspects: positive relationship, engagement, purpose in life, self-acceptance and self-esteem, competence, and optimism. Individuals with high flourishing are characterized by motivation and willingness to develop, improve, and expand their abilities [31]. Data were analyzed using effective contribution analysis with SPSS for Windows. The results indicated that most fostered children are male aged 16–18 years. The majority have high flourishing, while some show moderate flourishing, and none have low flourishing. The programs implemented by LPKA are proven beneficial in maintaining and improving flourishing among foster children.
