Abstrak
Students of the Independent Student Exchange Program (PMM) often face various challenges when attending lectures outside their home areas, such as cultural differences, academic pressure, limited social relations, and environmental adjustments. This condition can affect the psychological well-being of students. Individuals with a high adversity quotient are believed to be better able to overcome these challenges with an unyielding attitude and good mental resilience. This study aims to determine the relationship between adversity quotient and psychological well-being in PMM batch 4 outbound students of Halu Oleo University. This study uses a quantitative approach with a two-variable correlational design, with 76 PMM students taken through simple random sampling techniques. The instruments used were in the form of an adversity quotient scale and a psychological well-being scale. Data analysis used the Pearson Product Moment correlation technique. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between adversity quotient and psychological well-being, with a correlation value of 0.718 and significance of 0.000. The higher the adversity quotient level that students have, the higher their psychological well-being level. In contrast, students with low adversity quotient tend to have a harder time maintaining a healthy psychological state when facing pressure during the program.
