The total of 466 participants were collected, dominated by 351 participants were female (75.3%) and 152 people aged 21 years (32.6%). This study uses a quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique. Gratitude variable measured using The Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6). Subjective well-being was measured by Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). This study found that there is a contribution of gratitude to subjective well-being among unmarried young adults of 19.8%.
