Adolescence is known as a period of storm and stress with a range of problems, including the problem of self-adjustment. Adolescents’ self-adjustment is believed to affect their mental health. The present study aimed to examine the effect of mother-adolescent attachment and social interaction on adolescents’ personal adjustment. Three hundred eight three adolescents aged 15-18 years old were involved in this study as participants (Mean = 16.2, SD: 0.664). They were students from several schools in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province. The data were garnered using three scales, namely mother-adolescent attachment, social interaction, and personal adjustment scales, and analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS-4. The result showed that social interaction partially mediated the effect of mother-adolescent attachment on personal adjustment. Most adolescents in this study reported low personal adjustment, social interaction, and secure attachment, and moderate avoidant and anxious attachment levels.
