This study was conducted to determine the relationship between helicopter parenting and
independence in late adolescents in Madiun. The hypothesis proposed in this study is that there is a
negative relationship between helicopter parenting and independence in late adolescents in Madiun. The
subjects in this study are late adolescents aged 17-22 years in Madiun, totaling 100 people—subject
collection using the Purposive Sampling Technique. The data collection method uses the Independence
and Helicopter Parenting Instrument scales. The data analysis technique uses Pearson correlation
analysis. Based on the results of data analysis, a correlation value of r = 0.248 with p = 0.013 means a
significant positive relationship between helicopter parenting and independence; this shows that the
hypothesis proposed in this study is rejected. The determination coefficient (R2) obtained is 0.061,
which shows that the helicopter parenting variable effectively contributes 6.1% to independence, and
the rest is influenced by other factors that are not studied.
