Pengaruh Dukungan Keluarga terhadap Kecerdasan Emosional Siswa Melalui Mediasi Self-Compassion di SMP Negeri 34 Medan

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji peran self-compassion sebagai mediator dalam hubungan dukungan keluarga terhadap kecerdasan emosional siswa. Pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan dengan populasi 389 siswa, seluruhnya dijadikan sampel melalui total sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan structural equation modeling (SEM) untuk menguji pengaruh langsung dan tidak langsung antar variabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dukungan keluarga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kecerdasan emosional (β = 0,62; p < 0,001) dan self-compassion (β = 1,13; p < 0,001). Selain itu, self-compassion juga berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kecerdasan emosional (β = 0,36; p < 0,001). Analisis mediasi mengungkapkan bahwa dukungan keluarga memberikan pengaruh tidak langsung terhadap kecerdasan emosional melalui self-compassion sebesar 0,22 (p < 0,001), menegaskan peran self-compassion sebagai mediator yang memperkuat hubungan tersebut. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya dukungan keluarga dan pengembangan self-compassion untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam mengenali, mengelola, dan mengekspresikan emosi secara efektif. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between family support and students’ emotional intelligence. A quantitative approach was employed, involving a population of 389 students, all of whom were included as participants using total sampling. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test both direct and indirect effects among variables. The results indicated that family support had a positive and significant effect on emotional intelligence (β = 0.62; p < 0.001) and self-compassion (β = 1.13; p < 0.001). Furthermore, self compassion was found to have a significant positive effect on emotional intelligence (β = 0.36; p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that family support also exerted an indirect effect on emotional intelligence through self-compassion (β = 0.22; p < 0.001), confirming self-compassion’s role as a mediator that strengthens this relationship. These findings highlight the importance of family support and the development of self-compassion in enhancing students’ ability to recognize, manage, and express their emotions effectively.
