Migrating is a form of educational exploration for adolescents, particularly those in high school. Various issues are confronting migrants in their adolescence impact individuals’ psychological well-being, which is inextricably linked to the practice of healthy behavior. Therefore, this study aimed to view the effect of healthy behavior on the psychological well-being of migrant high school students. The research employed a quantitative method with a simple regression design. An incidental sampling technique was used to select 111 high school students aged 15 to 18 who migrated to Central Java. The measurement of the study utilized the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (α = 0.954) and the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being (α = 0.941). The study’s findings demonstrate that healthy behavior affects the psychological well-being of migrant high school students (t = 3.921 with sig. = 0.000). Healthy behavior had a 12.4% effect on psychological well-being. Healthy behavior in migrant high school students could enhance their psychological well-being. It is expected that migrant high school students will maintain healthy behavior daily to achieve optimal psychological well-being.
