Abstract
This research explores the psychological well being of young adult women who chosen to remain childfree. The childfree choice often leads to social stigma that can affect an individual’s psychological condition. The aim of this study is to explore the role of life satisfaction and social support in the psychological well being of childfree women. This research used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants were 116 early adult women aged 20-40 years who were married anf consciously chose to be childfree. The instruments used were the life satisfaction scale, social support scale, and psychological well being scale. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression.

It is concluded that the psychological well being of childfree women is more strongly influenced by their level of life satisfaction, while social support contributes when aligned with personal values.
