This study aimed to describe adolescents’ self-acceptance tendencies based on family intactness. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The population consisted of 276 tenth-grade students, all of whom were selected as research participants using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ), which had been adapted to the Indonesian context. The findings revealed that the overall level of adolescents’ self-acceptance was categorized as high, with an average percentage of 87.04%. Of the total participants, 271 students (98.2%) were classified in the high self-acceptance category, while 5 students (1.8%) were classified in the moderate category. In terms of family intactness, the majority of respondents (75%) came from intact families, while 25% came from non-intact families. Overall, the findings indicate that the adolescents generally demonstrated a high level of self-acceptance, characterized by their ability to recognize and accept both their strengths and weaknesses and to maintain confidence in their abilities. The findings also provide an overview of self-acceptance tendencies among adolescents in relation to their family intactness, highlighting the importance of considering family context in understanding adolescents’ psychological development.
