Hubungan Tingkat Kecemasan dengan Kesiapan dalam Menghadapi Pernikahan pada Waria di Kota Panyabungan

Abstract

This study aims to see the relationship between the level of anxiety and readiness to marry in transvestites. The subjects in this study were transvestites who worked in beauty salons in Panyabungan City. The hypothesis proposed by the researchers is that there is a significant negative relationship between the level of anxiety and readiness to marry in transgender, meaning that the lower the level of anxiety, the higher the readiness to get married as well as the opposite. The research methods in this study belong to correlational research. Correlational research aims to examine and explain associations and relationships between variables. The variable X in this study is the level of anxiety and the variable Y is the readiness to get married. There are two measuring instruments used in this study, namely HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) and Marriage Readiness Perception using a Likert scale. Based on the results of the research obtained there is a negative relationship between the level of anxiety with the readiness of marriage, where rxy = -0,693 with a significant p = 0,000 <0,050. Which means that the lower the level of anxiety, the higher the readiness to get married is accepted. The determinant coefficient (R2) of the relationship between the independent variable X and the dependent variable Y is equal to R2 = 0.480. This shows that the level of anxiety contributes to the readiness of marriage by 48%. And the remaining around 52% is influenced by other factors such as maturity, education level, and economic level etc.
