Abstract

Final-year students face various challenges in the thesis preparation process, including problem identification, topic selection, data collection and analysis, seeking references, and difficulties with academic advisors. This study aims to examine the correlation between mindset and grit among final-year students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tasikmalaya. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational design, this research investigates the relationship between mindset and grit. The sample consists of 206 out of 442 final-year students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tasikmalaya, selected through random sampling. Data analysis employed the Pearson product-moment technique. Results indicate a positive correlation between grit and growth mindset (r = 0.514, p=0.001), while grit shows no correlation with a fixed mindset (r = -0.031, p = 0.657). These findings suggest that classical guidance services can enhance grit by fostering a growth mindset.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between internal dialogue and public speaking anxiety among tenth-grade students at SMAN 9 Tasikmalaya. Using a descriptive quantitative approach and correlational design, the study involved 167 students selected through simple random sampling. The instruments used were the Public Speaking Anxiety Scale (PSA-S) to measure public speaking anxiety and the Internal Dialogue Activity Scale (IDAS) to assess internal dialogue. Data analysis employed the Pearson Product Moment (PPM) correlation technique. The results showed a negative correlation between constructive internal dialogue and public speaking anxiety, with a correlation coefficient of -0.353, indicating that more constructive internal dialogue is associated with lower levels of public speaking anxiety. Conversely, a positive correlation was found between destructive internal dialogue and public speaking anxiety, with a correlation coefficient of 0.437, indicating that more destructive internal dialogue is associated with higher levels of public speaking anxiety. The findings also revealed gender-based differences, with female students experiencing higher levels of public speaking anxiety compared to male students. This research contributes to understanding the role of internal dialogue in public speaking anxiety and its implications for counseling-based interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help students manage public speaking anxiety.

Abstract

Aggressive behavior in the school environment has a significant impact on the learning atmosphere, creating an unsafe environment that disrupts academic processes, affects students' mental health, and influences social relationships at school. This behavior is associated with low levels of emotional intelligence. This study aims to examine the influence of mindfulness and self-compassion on emotional intelligence among students at SMA Negeri 6 Tasikmalaya. The study used multiple correlation analysis, involving 300 students, with data collected through questionnaires measuring levels of emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and self-compassion. Based on the Structural Equation Model (SEM), the structural model for mindfulness and self-compassion on emotional intelligence demonstrated positive and significant results. A positive correlation was found between mindfulness and emotional intelligence (r=0.230; p=<0.001). Self-compassion showed a positive correlation with emotional intelligence (r=0.647; p=<0.001). Together, these two variables contributed 46.1% to emotional intelligence. These findings indicate that increased mindfulness and self-compassion play an important role in enhancing emotional intelligence.

Abstract

The transition from high school to college often introduces significant stress due to the need to adapt to a new academic culture and social environment. This stress can lead to decreased academic success, lower grades, and even dropout if not managed properly. Challenges such as high academic demands, fatigue, and procrastination hinder student progress. Academic procrastination, influenced by external factors, is linked to various adaptation levels. Beyond intellectual ability, factors such as interest, motivation, and self-concept play crucial roles in academic performance. Students with clear goals and self-management skills are more likely to succeed. Grit which combines resilience, courage, and determination, enhances the ability to overcome challenges and achieve long-term goals. Developing a growth mindset, which views failure as a part of the success process, can further improve grit and academic resilience. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy counseling has been shown to boost grit and academic resilience. This study emphasizes the importance of training in academic resilience through REBT to support student success.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the increasing incidence of cheating behavior among students, particularly at State Senior High School at Tasikmalaya City, which reflects a low awareness of academic integrity. Cheating behavior can be influenced by various factors, such as academic pressure, peer influence, low self-confidence, weak supervision, and a lack of ethical reinforcement within the school environment. The purpose of this study was to provide a general description of students’ cheating behavior in terms of rationalization, pressure, and opportunity.This study employed a descriptive quantitative method using a questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The results showed that most students at Tasikmalaya City demonstrated a moderate level of cheating behavior. Students in the moderate category tended to rationalize their actions as a response to academic pressure, while those in the high category exhibited openness to cheating opportunities without considering ethical aspects. On the other hand, students in the low category demonstrated awareness of the importance of academic honesty. A total of 333 students participated in this study. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for schools—especially for guidance and counseling services—in designing preventive and intervention strategies to address cheating behavior that threatens academic integrity and educational quality

Abstract

This study aims to describe the levels and forms of self-injury among high school students in Tasikmalaya. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was employed, involving 168 students from grade XI at eight public senior high schools selected through simple random sampling. The instrument used was the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI) developed by Gratz (2001), which demonstrated good reliability (α = 0.81). The findings showed that most participants (64.9%) were categorized as having low levels of self-injury, while 35.1% were in the moderate category, and none were in the severe category. Scratching was identified as the most common form of self-injury, followed by carving words or symbols on the skin and self-hitting. Further analysis revealed gender differences, with female students reporting significantly higher self-injury scores (M = 3.18, SD = 2.48) compared to males (M = 1.85, SD = 1.21), F(1,148) = 14.05, p < .001. Overall, the study highlights that self-injury behaviors among adolescents in Tasikmalaya tend to be at a low level but remain a concerning issue, particularly among female students. Preventive efforts and school-based counseling interventions are recommended to address this behavior.

Abstract

Grief is an emotional experience that arises from significant loss and can affect the psychological well-being of adolescents, particularly those living in orphanages. In this context, mental toughness serves as a protective factor that plays an important role in helping adolescents manage emotional stress and adapt to challenging situations. This study aims to analyze the correlation between grief levels measured using the Prolonged Grief Disorder Revised (PGD-R13) and mental toughness measured using the Mental Toughness Scale (SKM-24) among orphanage adolescents. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The findings indicate that a portion of the adolescents fell into the normal grief category, while others showed symptoms of syndromal grief and prolonged grief. Regarding mental toughness, most adolescents were in the moderate category, although a significant proportion scored low on the control and confidence dimensions. Correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between grief levels and mental toughness, indicating that the higher the grief symptoms experienced by the adolescents, the lower their level of mental toughness. These findings suggest that experiences of loss and instability in caregiving environments influence adolescents’ ability to manage psychological distress and maintain adaptive functioning. This study highlights the importance of interventions focused on strengthening emotion regulation, enhancing self-confidence, and providing psychological support to help orphanage adolescents cope with grief while improving their mental toughness.
