Pengaruh Self-Compassion terhadap Future Anxiety pada Fresh Graduate
Abstract
Abstract. Today, many fresh graduates face challenges in entering the workforce. Intense competition, lack of experience, and uncertainty about the future can trigger high anxiety. In dealing with anxiety, one factor that has the potential to help reduce it is self-compassion. This study aims to determine how much self-compassion affects future anxiety in fresh graduates with 315 respondents. The research method used is quantitative with a causality design. The measuring instrument used in this study is the self compassion measuring instrument from Kristin Neff (2003) self compassion scale which has been adapted into Indonesian by Sugianto, Suwartono & Sutanto (2020), and the future anxiety measuring instrument, namely the dark future scale from Zbigniew Zaleski (2017). The sampling technique in this study used the accidental technique from Silalahi (2015), the results showed that future anxiety in fresh graduates was in the high category, as many as 232 people or 74% of the respondents in this study. (β = -0.244, p < 0.05) The results of hypothesis testing state that self-compassion has a significant effect on future anxiety, which is 0.244 or 24.4% self-compassion affects future anxiety and 75.6% is a factor outside this research model. although self-compassion helps reduce future anxiety, the effect is limited. This indicates the need for other factors, such as career readiness.
