<![CDATA[This study is a quantitative research aimed at determining the effect of fear of failure on academic stress with grit as a mediator among students. The respondents in this study consisted of 117 students, and the data collection technique used was quota sampling. The research instruments used were scales measuring academic stress, fear of failure, and grit. The results of the study showed partial mediation with a standard coefficient value of 0.369 and a p-value <0.001. Grit acted as a mediator variable that explained part of the effect of fear of failure on academic stress, but fear of failure still had a direct effect on academic stress. The results of the first minor hypothesis showed a significant positive effect of fear of failure on academic stress with an effective direct contribution of 39.2%. The results of the second minor hypothesis show a highly significant negative effect of grit on academic stress with an effective contribution of 60.8%. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a highly significant effect between fear of failure and academic stress with grit as a mediating variable in students; and both hypotheses in this study are accepted. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh fear of failure terhadap academic stress dengan grit sebagai mediator pada mahasiswa. Responden dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 117 mahasiswa dan teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yakni quota sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan skala academic stress, fear of failure, dan grit. Hasil penelitian yang terbentuk adalah mediasi parsial dengan nilai koefisien standar sebesar 0.369 dan nilai p <0.001. Grit berperan sebagai variabel mediator yang menjelaskan sebagian pengaruh fear of failure terhadap academic stress, tetapi fear of failure tetap memiliki pengaruh langsung terhadap academic stress. Hasil hipotesis minor pertama menunjukkan pengaruh positif yang signifikan fear of failure ke academic stress dengan sumbangan efektif secara langsung sebesar 39.2%. Hasil hipotesis minor kedua menunjukkan pengaruh negatif yang sangat signifikan grit ke academic stress dengan sumbangan efektif sebesar 60.8%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang sangat signifikan antara fear of failure terhadap academic stress dengan grit sebagai variabel mediator pada mahasiswa dan kedua hipotesis dalam penelitian ini diterima.]]>
