Pengaruh Stres Akademik dan Self-Compassion terhadap Perilaku Prososial pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Teknik di Universitas Negeri Padang Influence of Academic Stress and Self-Compassion on Prosocial Behavior Among Engineering Faculty Students at Universitas Negeri Padang
Main Article Content
Abstract
Prosocial behavior among university students in academic settings is influenced by various psychological factors, including academic stress and self-compassion. This study aims to analyze the influence of academic stress and self-compassion on prosocial behavior among students of the Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Negeri Padang. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey method, the study involved 108 students selected through stratified sampling. Instruments included scales measuring academic stress, self-compassion, and prosocial behavior. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the contribution of each variable to prosocial behavior. The results indicate that academic stress and self-compassion jointly have a significant effect on prosocial behavior. Partially, academic stress has a significant negative effect, while self-compassion has a significant positive effect on prosocial behavior. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.771 indicates that 77.1% of the variation in prosocial behavior can be explained by these two independent variables. These findings highlight the importance of stress management and the cultivation of self-compassion as strategies to enhance students’ propensity for prosocial behavior in higher education environments.
