Abstract

Kidults are adults who enjoy things associated with childhood, such as toys or childlike activities, and are increasingly found in modern society, including among married adults. This study aims to describe the self-concept of married adults who exhibit kidult characteristics. A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this study, with data collected through in-depth interviews with several married informants who have an interest in kidult culture. The results of the study indicate that interest in childlike items or activities is merely a hobby, such as buying and displaying toy collections or participating in events with specific themes. The subjects continue to fulfill their responsibilities as partners, both in terms of child-rearing communication and household economics. They have a realistic self-concept and are able to balance their adult identity with their personal interests. In this context, kidult can be understood as part of selfexpression that does not interfere with social roles but rather serves as one way to maintain emotional balance in married life.
