The purpose of this study was to analyzed the description of academic hardiness possessed by high school students in Aceh, and measured the effectiveness of guidance based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in developing academic hardiness of high school students in Aceh. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method (non-equivalent control group design). Data were collected using the modified Academic Hardiness Scale (AHS) from Benishek & Lopez based on three aspects of academic hardiness, specifically commitment, challenge, and control. The population of this research is 154 the MAS Imam Syafii students. The research sample consisted of 60 students who were divided into experimental and control groups. Based on the results of the paired samplet-test, there is a significant difference between the pre and post test results of students after being given SFBT-based guidance, but the results of the N-Gain analysis show that SFBT has a low effect in increasing the academic hardiness of MAS Imam Syafii students. To get a significant increase in academic hardiness, SFBT can also be given individually/group.

Development and Initial Validation of the Children’s Hardiness Scale

Several measures have been developed in the past decades to assess the dimensions of hardiness in adult populations, whereas the same for children has remained relatively understudied. The present research has sought to develop and validate children’s hardiness scale (CHS) to assess hardiness attitudes in the respondents with age categories ranging between 10 and 12. Relying on a mixed-method approach, the research has been conducted in two studies. In the first, using both deductive and inductive methods, items were generated. The Content and face validity of the items was explored. To determine factor structure afterward, the exploratory factor analysis was conducted. In the course of the second study, confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the scale’s dimensionality and factor structure. The significant correlation between CHS, academic hardiness, and perceived stress, demonstrated the construct validity of the scale. Using the convenience sampling method, a total sample of 641 children participated in both studies. The results demonstrated that the final scale in line with the hardiness theory comprised three subscales: “commitment”, “control”, and “challenge”. The scale revealed acceptable internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity. Overall, the results of the current research indicated that a 20-item CHS can be applied in evaluating children’s hardiness attitudes. Further studies are required, however, to assess the applicability of the scale in different cultural populations.

ACADEMIC HARDINESS, SKILLS, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING ON NEW STUDENT

This study aims to determine the academic hardiness of new students and use a model that integrates transformational coping, social support, and psychological well-being. As individuals undergoing a period of educational transition, new students need to adapt to the requirements and academic tasks that are different from schooling and insist on them to demonstrate their strong persistence personalities and develop their psychological well-being. This study uses a non-experimental cross-sectional research design. A total of 237 participants filled out the academic hardiness, skills, and psychological well-being questionnaire, and the data were analyzed with SEM version 8.80. The test results show that academic hardiness plays a direct role in developing participant's psychological well-being. Even though academic hardiness plays a role in developing transformational coping and social support skills, both skills do not play a role in fostering psychological well-being. These results indicate that commitment - control - and challenges that reveal participants' ability to adapt to the new academic demands can improve their individual ability to demonstrate their fully functioning self or fully functioning person in completing academic demands and tolerating pressures. However, a similar role does not find transformational coping skills and social support skills as the product of academic hardiness. The skill level does not determine the development of the participant's psychological well-being.
