Abstract
Development is crucial during the transition from high school to college. At this stage, twelfth-grade students often experience concerns related to the future due to being in a transitional phase from secondary education to higher education or career decisions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parental expectations and future anxiety in twelfth-grade students. The research employs a quantitative method with a correlational approach to examine the relationship between the two variables. A total of 385 twelfth-grade students aged 17-19 participated in this study, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through the Perception of Parental Expectations Inventory (PPEI) developed by Sasikala & Karunanidhi (2011), which consists of 22 items, and the Future Anxiety Scale by Zaleski (1996), which contains 29 items. The analysis results show a significant positive relationship between parental expectations and future anxiety. The Spearman correlation test yielded a significance value of .037 with a correlation coefficient (r) of .172, indicating that higher parental expectations tend to increase future anxiety in twelfth-grade students. This study suggests the importance of parents balancing expectations with their children's capacities to reduce pressure that may trigger anxiety. The findings can serve as a reference for parents, educators, and counselors to provide more effective support in helping twelfth-grade students manage future-related anxiety.
