Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan pendekatan kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara loneliness dengan quarter-life crisis pada mahasiswa perantau tingkat akhir yang berasal dari luar pulau Jawa. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 265 mahasiswa tingkat akhir yang merupakan perantau dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia dan berkuliah di beberapa universitas yang tersebar di pulau Jawa.
