Problem-solving ability is a crucial cognitive skill in daily life, including in interpersonal relationships. The quality of premarital relationships is influenced by various factors, one of which is problem-solving ability. However, the relationship between these two variables remains unclear. This study used a quantitative survey design with a sample of 92 students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta who were in premarital relationships, selected using the Simple Random Sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire, using the Independent-Interdependent Problem-Solving Scale (IIPSS) to measure problem-solving ability and the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) to assess the quality of premarital relationships. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rho correlation test and linear regression analysis. The analysis showed no significant relationship between problem-solving ability and the quality of premarital relationships (ρ = 0.042; p = 0.694). The R² value of 0.001 indicates that problem-solving ability explains only 0.1% of the variability in relationship quality, suggesting that other factors play a more dominant role. These findings suggest that other factors, such as emotional regulation and interpersonal communication, may have a greater influence on relationship quality than problem-solving ability. The limitations of this study include the low variability of problem-solving scores and the lack of consideration for additional influencing factors. Future research is recommended to include mediating variables such as emotional regulation and interpersonal communication to gain a more comprehensive understanding.

Students are individuals who have graduated from high school/high school and are currently pursuing higher education at a university. The study period is an important period to look forward to, even though new students often face challenges in the form of academic stress. The transition period from high school to college, busy schedules, new environments, and homesickness are factors that cause stress (Ajeng Febrianti Rahayu et al., 2021). Adaptation is an important skill to help students face these changes. According to Adimiharja (1993), adaptation is the process of a person adapting to the environment and using resources to solve problems. In the first year of college, the ability to adapt is the basis for success in studying for the next few years (Rahmadani & Mukti, 2020). According to Sarafino (2012),stress is the body's response to demands that exceed an individual's capabilities (Hasanah, 2019). How to deal with stress is different for each person, from avoiding the source of stress to solving the problem that causes it. For new students, this stress occurs because of major changes, especially in the learning system (Paramita et al., 2022).
