Abstract
Thesis writing is a complex activity that requires cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills. This study investigated the role of emotion regulation and hardiness as predictors of academic stress in final-year students. A total of 105 participants in this research by an online survey consisting of the Perception of Academic Stress Scale (α = 0.78), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Scale (α = 0.80), and Dispositional Resilience Scale (α = 0.72). Multiple regression analysis techniques were used to analyze the data. The results show emotion regulation and hardiness are crucial for reducing academic stress. High hardiness students are better to endure academic stress. Meanwhile, emotion regulation did not emerge as a significant predictor of academic stress. Strategies that focusing solely on emotion regulation may not mitigate academic stress in students. Promoting hardiness may be effective to help students to cope with academic stress.
