Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dukungan sosial dan self-compassion terhadap penyesuaian sosial mahasiswa rantau asal Aceh di Malang.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian korelasional dengan teknik analisis data dengan regresi lineear berganda. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 86 mahasiswa rantau asal Aceh di Kota Malang angkatan 2024–2025 yang dipilih menggunakan teknik total sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Self-compassion Scale (SCS), dan Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ).

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dukungan sosial berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap penyesuaian sosial (t = 4,543; p < 0,001). Self-compassion juga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap penyesuaian sosial (t = 5,144; p < 0,001). Secara simultan, dukungan sosial dan self-compassion berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyesuaian sosial mahasiswa rantau asal Aceh di Malang (F = 29,783; p < 0,001) dengan nilai Adjusted R² sebesar 0,403, yang menunjukkan bahwa kedua variabel memberikan kontribusi sebesar 40,3% terhadap penyesuaian sosial, sedangkan 59,7% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar penelitian. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi dukungan sosial dan self-compassion yang dimiliki mahasiswa rantau, semakin baik pula penyesuaian sosialnya.

ENGLISH:

Acehnese students who pursue higher education in Malang face various challenges in the process of social adjustment due to differences in culture, environment, and academic demands. These conditions may affect their ability to establish positive social relationships in their new environment. Social support and self-compassion are considered important factors that help students cope with these challenges and adapt to a new social environment. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the influence of social support and self-compassion on the social adjustment of Acehnese students studying away from home in Malang.

This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The research sample consisted of 86 Acehnese students studying away from home in Malang from the 2024–2025 cohorts, selected using the total sampling technique. The research instruments included the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), and the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 27 through descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing, including t- tests, the F-test, and the coefficient of determination.

The results showed that social support had a positive and significant effect on social adjustment (t = 4.543, p < .001). Self-compassion also had a positive and significant effect on social adjustment (t = 5.144, p < .001). Simultaneously, social support and self-compassion had a significant effect on the social adjustment of Acehnese students studying away from home in Malang (F = 29.783, p < .001), with an Adjusted R² value of .403. This finding indicates that social support and self-compassion jointly accounted for 40.3% of the variance in social adjustment, while the remaining 59.7% was explained by other factors outside the scope of this study. These findings suggest that higher levels of social support and self-compassion are associated with better social adjustment among Acehnese students studying away from home.
