Abstract

Confidence is a component that supports success in the teaching and learning process. Good self-confidence will greatly assist students in absorbing the knowledge they receive, so that they will have a positive and optimistic view of their future success. One of the factors that influence optimism is self-confidence. Optimism is an individual's belief that bad events or failures are only temporary, do not affect all activities, and are not absolutely self-inflicted but can be situations, fate, or other people. For this reason, this study aims to determine the relationship between self-confidence and optimism in students who complete their thesis at the Faculty of Psychology UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. Measuring tools in this study are self-confidence scale and optimism scale. The total population is 121 with a sample of 100 students. The results of this study show a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.767 with p = 0.00 which indicates that there is a very significant positive relationship between self-confidence and optimism of students who complete their thesis at the Faculty of Psychology UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh.
