The magnitude of the influence of tiger parenting tendencies on adolescent independence is 6.
Based on the research results, it can be concluded that tiger parenting tendencies have a positive and significant influence on adolescent independence.
The higher the tiger parenting tendency, the higher the adolescent's independence.
On the other hand, the lower the tendency for tiger parenting, the lower the adolescent's independence.
Keywords: adolescent, independence, tiger parenting.
Introduction Adolescence is frequently defined as a transition toward adulthood, a phase where individuals begin to integrate into adult society.
This period is also characterized as a stage of notably, many adolescents exhibit ambivalence regarding these changes.
They both desire and demand autonomy, a pursuit of freedom that necessitates the development of independence as a prerequisite to achieving it.
According to Nicolson & Ayers .
, independence is defined by how individuals acquire a sense of self-control, enabling them to develop the desire to be themselvesAia fundamental prerequisite for achieving personal identity during adolescence.

Steinberg .
defines autonomy as an individual's capacity to behave and act in accordance with their own According to Steinberg .
, autonomy in adolescence encompasses three primary dimensions: .
emotional autonomy, .
behavioral autonomy, and .
value autonomy.
Research conducted by Bafadal .
revealed that among 20 adolescent respondents in Lendang Nangke village, 16 individuals exhibited low levels of independence.
This deficit in autonomy is associated with several factors, including emotional maturity, ethical behavior, behavioral and economic independence, as well as a diminished sense of responsibility.

Specifically, 37% of students admitted to cheating during exams, a behavior that indicates a significant lack of autonomy.
Covey .
asserts that an independent individual is characterized by several attributes: .
the physical capacity to work autonomously, .
the mental ability to think and make decisions independently, and .
the creative capability to express ideas in an easily understood manner.
Furthermore, .
they are emotionally accountable for their own actions and activities.
According to Steinberg .
, low levels of autonomy place adolescents at risk of developing depressive symptoms and experiencing low self-esteem.
Conversely, the benefits of autonomy allow adolescents to make wise decisions, take full responsibility for their choices, and remain resilient against negative peer or environmental influences.
Santrock .
identifies environment, parenting styles, and education as the primary factors influencing autonomy.
Among these factors, parenting warrants further examination.
Baumrind .
contends that parenting is fundamentally a form of parental control, representing the attitudes and treatments parents direct toward adolescents.
Each of these approaches exerts a distinct influence on adolescent behavior, particularly regarding their emotional, social, and intellectual competencies.
Baumrind .
delineates four parenting models: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful.
Meanwhile.
Kim .
categorizes parenting styles into tiger parenting, supportive parenting, harsh parenting, and easygoing parenting.
Consequently, this study aims to examine the influence of tiger parenting tendencies on adolescent autonomy.
Hean .
defines tiger parenting as a strict and demanding parenting model that emphasizes the attainment of high academic achievement for children.
Furthermore.
Hean .
posits that tiger parenting comprises two dimensions: .
the positive dimension .

The objective of this study is to examine the influence of tiger parenting tendencies on adolescent autonomy among students at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta.
The hypothesis of this research posits that there is a positive influence of tiger parenting tendencies on adolescent autonomy in students at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta.
It is anticipated that a higher tendency toward tiger parenting will correlate with higher levels of adolescent autonomy.
Conversely, a lower tendency toward tiger parenting is expected to result in lower levels of autonomy.
Method This study employs a quantitative method using two measurement instruments: an autonomy scale and a tiger parenting scale.
The reliability of each scale was assessed using the single-trial administration method.
Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression techniques, processed with SPSS version 19.
The population of this study consists of 322 eleventh grade students at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta.
The sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 77 eleventh-grade students.
The margin of error for this study was set at 10% of the total population mentioned above.
Results Based on the normality test results using Unstandardized Residual data, a KolmogorovSmirnov (KS-Z) index of 0.
641 was obtained with a significance level of 0.
809 ($p > 0.
05$).
Consequently, it can be concluded that the residual values in this study's regression model are normally distributed.
The result of the normality test can be seen in table 1.

The results of this study are supported by the research conducted by Fauziah & Maemonah .
, which analyzed that one of the positive impacts of tiger parenting is that children become independent at the appropriate time.
This is also in line with the interview findings by Kim et.
, which suggest that one of the outcomes of tiger parenting due to its emphasis on self- Annisao Auliya Maharani & Ismiradewi (The Influence of tiger parenting A) International Conference of Psychology UAD reliance is that children grow up to be more independent.
Research conducted by Ibrahim et al.
found that an impact of tiger parenting is that children develop independence, characterized by the ability to take responsibility for their decisions and perform daily activities without relying on others.
Furthermore, they demonstrate the capacity to adapt to various situations and consider external feedback and criticism.
A limitation of this study is the relatively small number of participants involved during the pilot testing phase.
The limited sample size during this initial stage may affect the robustness of the instrument's reliability and validity assessments.
Conclussion Based on the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that there is a significant positive influence of tiger parenting tendencies on adolescent autonomy among eleventh-grade students at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta.
A higher tendency toward tiger parenting is associated with increased levels of adolescent autonomy.
Conversely, a lower tendency toward tiger parenting correlates with lower levels of autonomy among these adolescents.
Tiger parenting tendencies contribute 6.
