Abstract

Moral degradation is defined as a phenomenon of individual and group moral decline. There are still many violations committed by adolescents inside and outside school, indicating a moral degradation that leads to adolescents' moral intelligence not being well developed. The role of parents is an important factor in instilling moral education in children which then creates moral intelligence in children. The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of parental attachment to adolescent moral intelligence. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causality research design. The sampling method used was non-probability sampling with a saturated sample technique so that a population of 200 students consisting of students in grades X, XI, and XII became the subject of the research. The results showed a significant value of 0.000 <0.05, so that Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected, meaning that there is a contribution of parental attachment to the adolescent moral intelligence. The contribution of parental attachment to adolescent moral intelligence is 80.2%.
