Abstract
This research aims to explore the personal and social context of single women that can contribute to psychological well-being. It is necessary as the percentage of single women has been increasing and previous research showed that single women can achieve happiness in life, despite negative stigma from environment. There is lack of explanation on the process and protective factors, especially in Indonesia. Data collected from forty-one Indonesian single women aged 25-70 years old help us to understand the psychological well-being accomplishment of single women. Respondent were gathered through purposive sampling. An open-ended questionnaire was used as measurement tool. Respondents were tasked to answer about the reason to stay single, emotional experience, thoughts about their life, social judgement toward the status, how they cope with problems, effort to gain a purpose and meaningful life and the reason to be happy. Data gathered were analyzed by a descriptive content analysis. Results showed that personal and social context of single women are potential to support them to achieve psychological well-being.
