ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the relationship between childhood maltreatment, perception of a partner, and relationship satisfaction among survivors of childhood abuse. The research employed a quantitative correlational method with a sample of 115 survivors aged 20–30 years from Tenggilis Mejoyo District, Surabaya. Data were collected using three Likert scales measuring childhood maltreatment, perception of a partner, and relationship satisfaction. The results showed a significant negative correlation between childhood maltreatment and relationship satisfaction (t = -5.747, p<0,05), indicating that higher levels of adverse childhood experiences are associated with lower relationship satisfaction. Conversely, a significant positive correlation was found between perception of a partner and relationship satisfaction (t = 4.884, p<0,05), suggesting that a more positive perception of a partner is linked to higher relationship satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between childhood maltreatment, perception of a partner, and relationship satisfaction (F = 54.697, p<0.05). Together, childhood maltreatment and perception of a partner contributed 49.9% to relationship satisfaction. This indicates that childhood experiences and perceptions of a partner significantly influence the level of satisfaction in relationships.
