Mahasiswa pada fase dewasa awal berada pada masa transisi yang ditandai oleh tuntutan pencapaian akademik, pemenuhan ekspektasi sosial, serta kesiapan memasuki dunia kerja. Kondisi ini berpotensi memunculkan quarter life crisis (QLC), yaitu krisis psikologis berupa kebingungan arah hidup, ketidakpastian masa depan, dan tekanan dalam pengambilan keputusan. Penelitian ini berlandaskan teori QLC dari Robbins dan Wilner serta kerangka konseptual Robinson dan Wright, dengan menempatkan tekanan sosial sebagai faktor eksternal dan kecemasan karier sebagai mekanisme psikologis yang diduga memediasi QLC. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional non-eksperimental. Partisipan berjumlah 223 mahasiswa aktif di Kota Surabaya (usia 18–25 tahun) yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner skala Likert secara daring (Google Form) menggunakan skala tekanan sosial, kecemasan karier, dan QLC. Analisis dilakukan dengan uji mediasi menggunakan PROCESS Macro Hayes berbasis bootstrapping. Hasil menunjukkan tekanan sosial tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan QLC (B=0,1640; p=0,4827), kecemasan karier juga tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan QLC (B=-0,2637; p=0,4176), serta tidak terdapat efek mediasi kecemasan karier (B=0,0032; p=0,4274). Kesimpulannya, QLC pada mahasiswa Surabaya dipengaruhi faktor lain di luar tekanan sosial dan kecemasan karier.
