Abstract
Gratitude diyakini berperan sebagai sumber daya psikologis yang mendukung kesejahteraan individu, termasuk life satisfaction. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji hubungan antara gratitude dan life satisfaction pada anggota Binar Community, sebuah komunitas sosial yang aktif bergerak di bidang pendidikan anak dan kesehatan mental. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional dengan teknik total sampling, melibatkan 100 responden. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah GQ-6 versi Indonesia (Grimaldy & Haryanto, 2020) dan SWLS versi Indonesia (Natanael dkk., 2024). Analisis data dilakukan melalui uji normalitas Kolmogorov-Smirnov, uji linearitas, dan korelasi Pearson Product Moment menggunakan JASP. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kedua variabel berdistribusi normal, hubungan bersifat linear, dan terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara gratitude dan life satisfaction dengan kekuatan cukup kuat. Dengan demikian, semakin tinggi gratitude yang dimiiliki anggota, semakin tinggi pula life satisfactionnya. Temuan ini menegaskan peran gratitude sebagai faktor protektif bagi individu yang aktif dalam kegiatan sosial dan kemanusiaan.References
