Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara breakup distress dan potensi rebound relationship dengan menggunakan analisis korelasi. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah individu dewasa awal berusia 18-25 tahun yang sedang berpacaran dan pernah mengalami putus cinta (N=191). Instrumen penelitian menggunakan Breakup Distress Scale (BDS) dan Positive and Negative Ex-Relationship Thoughts (PANERT) Scale yang diadaptasikan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Analisis statistik korelasi Spearman’s menunjukkan korelasi positif antara breakup distress dengan potensi terlibat rebound relationship. Analisis Mann-Whitney U menunjukkan adanya perbedaan dalam potensi rebound relationship berdasarkan lama hubungan yang dijalin. 

Rebound relationship is a new romantic relationship that forms when someone is still intensely thinking about things related to their previous relationship and/or with their ex-partner, both pleasant and unpleasant aspects. Meanwhile, breakup distress refers to the negative emotions individuals experience after a breakup. This study aims to examine the relationship between breakup distress and the potential for a rebound relationship using correlation analysis. The participants of this study are early adults aged 18-25 who are dating and have experienced a breakup (N=191). The research instruments used are the Breakup Distress Scale (BDS) and the Positive and Negative Ex-Relationship Thoughts (PANERT) Scale adapted into the Indonesian language. Spearman's correlation statistical analysis indicates a positive correlation between breakup distress and the potential involvement in a rebound relationship. The Mann-Whitney U analysis indicates that there is a difference in the potential for a rebound relationship based on the duration of the relationship established.
