The Influence of Adversity Quotient, Achievement Motivation, and Self-Concept on Learning Independence

Abstract

This study is a quantitative research aimed at analyzing the influence of adversity quotient, achievement motivation, and self-concept on learning independence. The study sample consists of 132 students from the Economic Education Study Program at Jenderal Soedirman University, selected from a total population of 196 students from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 cohorts. The research data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire, employing proportionate stratified random sampling as the sampling technique. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, facilitated by the SPSS program. The results of the research indicated that: (1) there is no significant positive influence of adversity quotient on learning independence, suggesting that challenges and setbacks do not directly impact students' ability to learn independently in this context. (2) Achievement motivation has a positive influence on learning independence, highlighting that students with higher motivation to achieve academic success are more likely to exhibit independent learning behaviors. (3) Self-concept also shows a positive influence on learning independence, indicating that students with a positive self-view are more confident and autonomous in their learning process. The findings of this study suggest that students should enhance their learning independence by increasing their achievement motivation and developing a positive self-concept. By fostering a strong sense of motivation and self-belief, students can improve their ability to learn independently, ultimately contributing to better academic performance and personal growth.
