Peran Regulasi Emosi terhadap Adversity Quotient Dengan Dukungan Sosial sebagai Moderator Pada Guru Sekolah Dasar (SD) Generasi Z di Kota Medan

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to examine the moderating role of social support on the influence of emotional regulation on the adversity quotient (AQ) of Generation Z elementary school teachers in Medan City. This study used a quantitative method with an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected through the Adversity Quotient scale by Muztaba, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire scale by Gross and John translated by Radde et al., and the Teacher Social Support scale by Oktarina et al. These scales were distributed to 166 teachers. The results of the analysis showed that the higher the perceived social support, the stronger the influence of emotional regulation on adversity quotient. The influence of social support was strongest on emotional regulation through cognitive reappraisal compared to expressive suppression. The type of social support that had the most significant impact was support from fellow teachers and the principal. The implication of this study is that a positive school environment can improve the ability to regulate emotions to deal with problems experienced by Generation Z elementary school teachers in Medan City.
