Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the influence of optimism on the problem-focused coping of students at Ar-Raniry State Islamic University and to find out the difference in optimism and problem-focused coping between male and female students. Data were collected from 320 students (81 male and 239 female) using a proportional stratified sampling. Data were collected by using two questionnaires, (1) Optimism by using the scale of optimism (Seligman, 2008) and (2) Problem-focused coping by using the Coping scale (Lazarus, 1984). Data were analyzed descriptively, and statistical analysis (hypothesis testing) was done using a simple regression procedure under SPSS/PC Ver.23.00. This study's results indicated a significant positive correlation between optimism and problem-focused coping among students. The respective R-square is 0.166, a result of the coefficient is 0.407. There are no significant differences in problem-focused coping and optimism among students. However, there are significant gender differences, male students are more problem-focused with coping and optimism than female students.
