Kontribusi Adversity Quotient terhadap Kecemasan pada Siswa Kelas XII dalam Persiapan Ujian Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri The Contribution of Adversity Quotient to Anxiety in Twelfth Grade Students in Preparation for State University Entrance Exams
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates the contribution of adversity quotient to anxiety among twelfth-grade students preparing for the state university entrance examination. The preparation process for admission to state universities (PTN) frequently constitutes a substantial source of psychological pressure for students, primarily due to intense competition, restricted admission quotas, and external expectations from the surrounding environment. This research employed a quantitative methodology witha correlational design. The sample comprised 389 students in the city of Padang, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The findings of a simple linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant negative contribution of adversity quotient to anxiety, with a significance value of .000 (p < .05). Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) was reported at .489, indicating that the adversityquotient variable contributes 48.9% to the anxiety experienced by students in the context of university entrance preparation. Therefore, the higher the level of adversity quotient in twelfth-grade students, the lower their level of anxiety in facing the examination.
