Abstract


This study aims to investigate the influence of gratitude on resilience in working students. Working students often face tough challenges related to dual roles, which can affect students' psychological well-being, so it is important to understand the factors that can support students' mental resilience. This study uses a quantitative design with an ex-post facto type, the sampling technique used is purposive sampling, the sample size is 370 working students. The instruments used are the Gratitude Scale and the Resilience Scale. The results showed that there was a significant positive influence between gratitude on resilience in working students with a significance value of 0.001 (P < 0.05). The higher the level of gratitude that students have, the higher the level of resilience that students show in facing life's challenges. The discussion of these findings indicates that gratitude acts as a psychological factor that strengthens students' resilience in undergoing dual roles as workers and students, and helps students to interpret challenges more positively. This study contributes to the development of psychological intervention strategies to improve the resilience of working students by strengthening gratitude as part of students' psychological well-being
