HUBUNGAN WELAS DIRI, HARGA DIRI, DAN STRES AKADEMIK PADA SISWA MTSNIM.: 22107010038Putri Amalia RahmadiniauthorAcademic stress among Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) students is a psychological issue that requires attention because it may affect students’ emotional well-being and learning processes. Internal factors such as self-compassion and self-esteem are considered important in helping students cope with academic pressure more adaptively. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-compassion, self-esteem, and academic stress among MTs students. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 351 MTs students in Pekalongan selected through cluster sampling technique. Data were collected using the Self- Compassion Scale (SCS), Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI), and Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results showed a relationship between self-compassion and self-esteem with academic stress among MTs students (R = 0.398; R² = 0.159; F = 32.8; p < 0.001). Partially, self-compassion (β = -0.198; p < 0.001) and self-esteem (β = -0.198; p = 0.004) each had a significant negative effect on academic stress. These findings indicate that higher levels of self-compassion and self-esteem are associated with lower levels of academic stress. This study highlights the importance of developing self-compassion and self-esteem as preventive efforts to reduce academic stress among MTs students.155.5 Psikologi Remaja2026-06-24UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU SOSIAL DAN HUMANIORAThesis
