HUBUNGAN SELF EFFICACY DENGAN QUARTER LIFE CRISIS PADA MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING ANGKATAN TAHUN 2023 DI UNIVERSITAS JAMBI

Abstract

The quarter-life crisis phenomenon is increasingly experienced by students in their early adulthood phase. Students not only face academic demands, but also pressures regarding their future, career, social relationships, and life decision-making. One factor suspected of being related to the quarter-life crisis is self-efficacy, namely an individual's belief in their ability to face life's challenges. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and the quarter-life crisis in the 2023 intake of students in the Guidance and Counseling Study Program, Jambi University. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The study population was 113 students with a total sampling technique so that the entire population was used as the research sample. Data collection used a Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance value (sig. 2-tailed) of 0.00 < 0.05. The results showed that the level of student self-efficacy was in the high category with a percentage of 82.80%, while the quarter-life crisis was in the low category with a percentage of 38.57%. The results of the correlation test indicate a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy and quarter-life crisis. The higher a student's self-efficacy, the lower their quarter-life crisis. Therefore, self-efficacy is a crucial factor in helping students face the challenges of early adulthood.
