Abstract	This study investigates the relationship between perceived parental abuse and relationship satisfaction in adults using convenience sampling and data collected via Google Forms from 152 participants. Measurement tools included the Relationship Assessment Scale and Perceived Parental Abuse Scale, with statistical analyses comprising correlation and linear regression. Findings revealed a statistically significant but weak positive correlation (Spearman's rho = 0.270, p < .001) between perceived parental abuse and relationship satisfaction. Regression analysis indicated that perceived parental abuse explains 8.95% of the variance in relationship satisfaction (R² = 0.0895, F = 14.7, p < .001). These results challenge conventional views by suggesting resilience mechanisms among survivors of parental abuse and underscore implications for interventions aimed at improving relationship outcomes in this population. The study contributes to understanding the complex dynamics between early-life adversity and adult relationship satisfaction, emphasizing the need for targeted support strategies.
