Abstract
The main problem faced by teenagers is their anxiety related to shopping behaviour in an attempt to fulfill their daily needs, making it difficult for them to concentrate on their studies at school. They are unable to learn and master the subject matter properly. This is because the main task of a student is to study in order to achieve their dreams. Therefore, uncontrolled shopping behaviour must be properly addressed. Retail therapy is a positive activity that is considered a solution to overcome shopping behaviour problems in order to achieve happiness in the lives of adolescents. The community service activity was attended by 24 adolescents aged 15-18 years. The implementation method used a pre-test and post-test one group design. Data was collected using a subjective well-being questionnaire. Data analysis techniques used t-tests. The results of the data analysis showed that the pre-test average (72.8) was higher than the post-test average (81). This means that the implementation of retail therapy was able to foster subjective well-being in adolescents.
