This research method uses non-probability sampling method with convenience sampling technique at 10 schools in Kesugihan District, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. This study involved 160 junior high school youth whose parents were migrant workers abroad.

The social support from peers and teachers received by adolescents is in the low category. Adolescent adjustment to migrant worker families is in the moderate category. The results showed that the parenting styles of fathers, mothers, substitute caregivers, peer social support, and teachers had a significant positive relationship with adolescent self-adjustment as well as a significant positive effect on adolescent self-adjustment in PMI families.
