Adolescence is a crucial developmental phase characterized by significant emotional, social, and moral changes. In the digital era, adolescents face new challenges such as social pressure, anxiety, and a decline in psychological well-being due to excessive use of social media. One of the factors believed to strengthen psychological well-being is religiosity, which refers to the extent to which individuals believe in, internalize, and practice their religious teachings in daily life. This study aims to analyze the relationship between religiosity and adolescents’ psychological well-being in the digital era through a literature review approach. Data were collected from various national and international journals published between 2021 and 2025 using the Publish or Perish (PoP) application. After screening, 15 articles met the inclusion criteria and were relevant to the research topic. The analysis results consistently show a positive and significant relationship between religiosity and psychological well-being across all reviewed studies. Religiosity serves as a protective factor that helps adolescents develop positive emotions, gratitude, inner peace, and resilience in coping with life’s pressures in the digital era. Therefore, it can be concluded that enhancing religiosity through character education, spiritual development, and supportive social environments can be an effective strategy to strengthen adolescents’ psychological well-being holistically.
