Abstract
Cases of sexual harassment among adolescents have shown an alarming increase across various contexts, including families, schools, and digital spaces. Such experiences adversely affect adolescents’ subjective well-being, often leading to difficulties in emotional regulation, reduced psychological resilience, and limited coping strategies. This study examines the influence of personality hardiness on subjective well-being among adolescents exposed to sexual harassment at MTs Negeri 2 Gorontalo Regency. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through hardiness and subjective well-being scales, alongside screening instruments to identify victims of sexual harassment. From 564 students, 60 respondents met the inclusion criteria through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results revealed a significant positive effect of hardiness on subjective well-being, contributing 45% to its variance. These findings highlight the importance of fostering hardiness to improve adolescents’ psychological adaptation, suggesting that interventions should emphasize resilience-building programs for victims of sexual harassment.
