This study aims to analyze the enhancement of internal locus of control in individuals through the traditional art of Jemparingan archery. Internal locus of control plays a significant role in influencing an individual's motivation, self-confidence, and emotional regulation. Individuals with a low locus of control are more vulnerable to depression and tend to experience higher levels of stress, particularly during early adulthood—a critical phase for achieving maturity and improving quality of life. In this context, Jemparingan, as a cultural and traditional form of archery from Yogyakarta, offers not only physical training but also psychological and emotional benefits. This research applies the theory of internal locus of control using a mixed-method approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The study involved 40 participants aged 20-40 years who actively practice Jemparingan in Yogyakarta. Data were collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and direct observations. The findings reveal that participation in Jemparingan positively influences individuals' internal locus of control by fostering self-discipline, patience, and self-confidence. Additionally, the practice of this traditional archery contributes to emotional regulation and supports efforts to improve overall quality of life. The study highlights the importance of integrating local cultural practices into psychological development strategies and emphasizes the value of traditional activities as alternative approaches to mental well-being. These insights are expected to serve as a reference for educators, psychologists, and policymakers in designing community-based interventions that promote mental health and cultural preservation.
