Analysis of Factors Affecting Students' Adversity Quotient on Completing Undergraduate Thesis
International Journal of Research in Education and Science, v9 n1 p124-133 2023
Writing an undergraduate thesis will inevitably encounter various obstacles and problems. A high adversity quotient is needed to complete an undergraduate thesis. Other psychological abilities need to be analyzed in relation to increasing the adversity quotient. The aim of this study is to analyze other factors that affected the adversity quotient in compiling an undergraduate thesis. The cross-sectional design was conducted on 110 students who were preparing their undergraduate thesis. Respondent characteristics (gender), intrinsic motivation, adversity quotient, self-directed learning readiness (SDLR), and anxiety were measured for all respondents. The results of the analysis showed that the adversity quotient was significantly associated with intrinsic motivation, SDLR, and anxiety, but not with gender. The strength of the relationship of all these factors is ranged from very weak to weak. The conclusion of this study is the adversity quotient is one of the individual responses to a certain situation or condition. Correlation between these factors describes that all factors appear in responses to the situation or conditions. However, these factors do not play a role in increasing a person's adversity quotient.
