Abstract
This study is entitled “The Relationship between Loneliness and Homesickness among Migrant Students in Surabaya City.” The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between loneliness and homesickness among migrant students who are pursuing higher education in Surabaya City. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The research participants consisted of 107 migrant students selected using an accidental sampling technique, with the criteria of students originating from outside the region and currently studying at higher education institutions in Surabaya. The instruments used in this study were a loneliness scale and a homesickness scale, both of which had passed validity and reliability testing. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics version 26, following prerequisite tests including normality and linearity tests. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between loneliness and homesickness, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.793 and a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher levels of loneliness are associated with higher levels of homesickness among migrant students, and conversely, lower levels of loneliness are associated with lower levels of homesickness.
