Abstract

Senior college students face various academic demands, particularly the writing of their theses, which can trigger negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, and frustration. Emotional regulation skills are essential for adaptively managing emotional experiences, while difficulties in regulating emotions can increase the risk of loneliness. Loneliness arises from the gap between expected and actual social relationships. Previous research has generally focused on young adults in general and has not specifically examined senior students in Medan from various universities who are currently completing their theses. This study fills that gap by examining the relationship between emotional regulation and loneliness in this local context as a novel contribution. The purpose of this study is to determine the profile of emotional regulation, the profile of loneliness, and the relationship between the two among senior students in Medan. This study contributes theoretically to the advancement of psychology and practically to students, universities, and future researchers. The study’s limitations include generalizability restricted to the city of Medan, a correlational design, the use of self-report measures, and the examination of only two variables. The method used was a quantitative correlational study involving 355 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The instruments, the Emotional Regulation Scale and the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 were analyzed using Spearman’s Rho. The results indicate that emotional regulation tends to be high and loneliness is moderate, and there is a significant negative correlation of moderate strength (r = −0.425; p < 0.001). Emotional regulation accounts for 18% of the variance in loneliness. These findings support the theories of Gross, Perlman, and Peplau, as well as Weiss. From a practical perspective, there is a need to improve students’ emotional regulation skills and to implement psychological counseling programs at universities

Abstract

Failure to gain admission to a public university (PTN) often causes psychological stress among high school graduates in Medan, such as disappointment, low self-esteem, and a decline in motivation. Resilience is a crucial ability for adapting and bouncing back, while a growth mindset, the belief that abilities can be developed through effort is believed to play a role in fostering that resilience. This study aims to examine the relationship between a growth mindset and resilience among private university (PTS) students in Medan who failed to gain admission to a PTN. Theoretically, the results are expected to enrich the literature in Educational Psychology and Positive Psychology; practically, they can serve as a reference for psychoeducational programs designed to strengthen students’ growth mindset and resilience. The study’s limitations include a subject population restricted to active 2025-cohort students at private universities in Medan who had previously failed to gain admission to public universities, the use of purposive sampling, a cross-sectional correlational design, and the measurement of only two variables via self-report scales. The method used was a quantitative correlational approach employing Pearson’s product-moment correlation on 361 respondents. The instruments consisted of the Growth Mindset Scale (18 items, α = 0.918) and the Resilience Scale (32 items, α = 0.951). The results showed a strong, significant positive correlation (r = 0.788; p < 0.05), with a growth mindset accounting for 62% of the variance in resilience. The majority of respondents fell into the high category for both variables. The conclusion confirms that the higher the growth mindset, the higher the students’ resilience. The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on a population of private university students in Medan who are experiencing a transition due to failing to gain admission to a public university, a group that is rarely studied in an integrated manner within this context
