ABSTRAK
Laki-laki yang melakukan hubungan seksual dengan laki-laki, disebut juga Men Who
Have Sex with Men (M-S-M) berpotensi mengalami kecemasan berkaitan dengan
perilakunya. Selain itu, kesejahteraan psikologis mereka juga dapat menurun,
khususnya dalam hal mengenal diri sendiri seutuhnya (Eudaimonic Well-Being).
Penelitian ini menggambarkan hubungan kecemasan terkait perilaku seksual M-S-M
dengan eudaimonic well-being-nya. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 56 orang yang
diperoleh dengan teknik snowball sampling. Kecemasan diukur dengan State-Trait
Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) dari Spielberg (α = 0,964) dan Eudaimonic WellBeing diukur dengan Quetionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being (QEWB) dari
Waterman (α = 0,867). Hasil analisis data menggunakan teknik statistika
nonparametrik dengan formulasi Spearman’s Rho memperlihatkan kedua variabel
berkorelasi negatif secara signifikan (r = -0,3,77, p = 0,004). Secara umum subjek
memiliki Kecemasan yang rendah (M32). Secara rinci, subjek juga memiliki Sense of Purpose
yang tinggi (M>µ, 15,64>12), Purposeful Personal Expressiveness yang tinggi

(M>µ, 21,64>14), dan Efforful Engagement yang tinggi (M>µ, 7,4>6). Dengan
demikian, setiap laki-laki yang berniat melakukan perilaku M-S-M perlu menyadari
kondisi cemas dan eudaimonic well-being-nya berkaitan dengan perilaku tersebut.
Penelitian ini dapat dilanjutkan dengan analisis pengaruh untuk menemukan peran
satu variabel terhadap variabel yang lainnya.

Quetionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being (QEWB) Waterman (α = 0.867). With
nonparametric statistical data analysis techniques using Spearman's Rho
formulations, result showed that both variables have significant correlation (r = 0,3,77, p = 0.004). In general, subjects experience low anxiety (Mμ, 44.68>32). Specifically, subjects have higher
Sense of Purpose (M>μ, 15.64>12), higher Purposeful Personal Expressiveness
