“…Salah satu sumber utama kecemasan individu adalah ketika mereka melakukan transisi besar dalam hidup, misalnya, memulai studi atau setelah menyelesaikan studi di perguruan tinggi (Novinta & Mastuti, 2023). Kecemasan juga banyak dialami oleh mahasiswa (Gonzaga et al, 2022). Hal ini karena dalam lingkungan dan kehidupan perkuliahan mahasiswa melewati masa paling kritis dalam hidup mereka, di mana mereka mengalami banyak peristiwa yang penuh tekanan (Buchanan, 2012;Gonzaga et al, 2022).…”

“…Tantangan seperti itu perlu diatasi secara efektif (Cohen et al, 2016;Gonzaga et al, 2022). Mahasiswa yang mengalami kecemasan dilaporkan menderita kesulitan belajar dan pemecahan masalah secara umum, hal ini terkait dengan kondisi dimana kapasitas adaptif seseorang yang menurun atau tidak bekerja dengan efektif pada saat berada dalam tekanan, yang pada akhirnya mengakibatkan gangguan biologis dan psikologis (Cohen et al, 2016).…”

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health problems experienced by adolescents and young adults around the world, including university students. Those who experience anxiety often face difficulties in learning and problem-solving. In the cognitive behavioral therapy approach, one of the most common sources of anxiety is irrational thoughts and beliefs within the individual. If left untreated, anxiety can lead to severe consequences, including depression. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a combination of cognitive restructuring therapy and relaxation techniques in reducing anxiety and irrational thoughts that trigger anxiety in college students. The research method used a single-subject pre-test post-test design with the subject being a 22-year-old male college student. Measurements were taken using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Shortened General Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (SGABS). The results showed the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing irrational attitudes and beliefs that trigger anxiety in the subject. Subjects became more proficient in identifying, debating, and restructuring irrational thoughts into rational and adaptive thoughts. In addition, the subjects effectively applied relaxation techniques, which helped them feel more comfortable when facing anxiety-provoking situations. The implications of this study indicate the importance of applying a combination of cognitive restructuring therapy and relaxation techniques in overcoming anxiety among college students.Gangguan kecemasan adalah salah satu gangguan mental yang paling umum terjadi pada remaja dan dewasa muda di seluruh dunia, tak terkecuali pada mahasiswa. Mahasiswa yang mengalami kecemasan dilaporkan menderita kesulitan belajar dan pemecahan masalah. Dalam pendekatan terapi perilaku kognitif, salah satu sumber kecemasan yang paling sering ditemui adalah pemikiran dan keyakinan yang irasional pada diri individu. Apabila tidak ditangani dengan tepat kecemasan dapat berakibat fatal dan berujung pada depresi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas kombinasi terapi restrukturisasi kognitif dan teknik relaksasi dalam mengurangi kecemasan dan pemikiran irasional yang memicu kecemasan pada mahasiswa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah desain subjek tunggal pre-test post-test dengan satu mahasiswa laki-laki berusia 22 tahun sebagai subjek. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan menggunakan Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) dan Shortened General Attitude and Beliefs Scale (SGABS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa intervensi ini efektif dalam menurunkan sikap dan kepercayaan irasional yang memicu kecemasan pada subjek. Subjek menjadi lebih mampu mengidentifikasi, mendebat, dan merestrukturisasi pemikiran irasional menjadi lebih rasional dan adaptif. Subjek juga dapat menerapkan teknik relaksasi dengan efektif yang membantu dirinya merasa lebih tenang dalam menghadapi situasi yang memicu kecemasan. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah pentingnya penerapan kombinasi terapi restrukturisasi kognitif dan teknik relaksasi dalam mengatasi kecemasan pada mahasiswa.

“…Last but not least, flexibility, as expounded within the contours of learning and educational psychology, is fundamentally associated with cognitive and metacognitive capacities to adaptively modulate one's thinking and strategies in response to dynamic situational demands (Doğan, 2023;Coleman & Oliveros, 2019;O'Toole et al, 2017). Often, in academic discourse, flexibility is juxtaposed against rigidity, with the latter representing an inflexible adherence to singular perspectives or strategies, irrespective of situational exigencies (Gonzaga et al, 2022;White & McCallum, 2021;Holland et al, 2021). Cognitively speaking, flexibility embodies the nimbleness to maneuver between abstract principles and specific exemplars, and to transition seamlessly across diverse problem-solving strategies (Wang et al, 2023;Chen & Qu, 2022;Wen et al, 2019).…”

“…Cognitively speaking, flexibility embodies the nimbleness to maneuver between abstract principles and specific exemplars, and to transition seamlessly across diverse problem-solving strategies (Wang et al, 2023;Chen & Qu, 2022;Wen et al, 2019). From a pedagogical vantage, fostering flexibility is paramount, for it bequeaths learners with the critical acumen to discern and apply pertinent strategies across a panoply of learning contexts, thus amplifying their academic resilience and adaptability (Gonzaga et al, 2022;Wen et al, 2019;Coleman & Oliveros, 2019). Ergo, in the epoch of rapidly evolving knowledge landscapes, the deliberate cultivation of cognitive flexibility, interwoven with the metacognitive awareness to judiciously apply it, stands as an indispensable cornerstone of holistic education.…”

Within the sphere of educational psychology, the impact of perfectionism on academic anxiety and flexibility has been closely examined, especially in the context of Chinese postgraduates. The current study analyzed these phenomena within a cohort of 218 postgraduates from a private international Chinese college in Thailand, reflecting an amalgam of Eastern academic culture and postgraduate educational expectations. Results indicated a notable degree of academic anxiety (X=3.70, SD=.75), alongside moderate levels of flexibility (X=2.94, SD=.84) and perfectionist behavior (X=3.23, SD=1.01). Disaggregating data by educational level, Masters students presented with moderate anxiety (X=3.38, SD=.87), low flexibility (X=2.53, SD=.74), and low perfectionism (X=2.74, SD=.66), whereas Ph.D. students exhibited significantly higher anxiety and perfectionism (X=4.51 and X=4.48, SD=.84 respectively), yet demonstrated greater flexibility (X=3.99, SD=.71). Gender and profession proved to be insubstantial factors in influencing these constructs. Contrastingly, educational level was a potent differentiator, with significant disparities evident. The interrelations highlighted a negative correlation between academic anxiety and flexibility (r=-.121), but a positive correlation between academic anxiety and perfectionist tendencies (r=.424). Flexibility and perfectionist behavior were also positively correlated (r=.153). To mitigate the adverse impacts of perfectionism, the study advocates for cognitive-behavioral interventions to reshape perfectionist thought patterns and bolster adaptive coping strategies. It encourages cultivating an educational ethos that emphasizes learning and psychological welfare over impeccable achievement and suggests normalizing mental health discourse within academic environments to alleviate the stigma surrounding perfectionism and anxiety.
