FEAR OF FAILURE, PARENT’S SUPPORT, AND STUDY MOTIVATION AMONG STUDENTS IN PESANTREN

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to verify relationship among fear of failure, parent’s support and
study motivation in pesantren’s students. Subjects of research were 32 students from grade XII
Pesantren MA NU Banat Kudus and 48 students in Pesantren MA Muhammadiyah Kudus. This was a
population study, employing study motivation scale, fear of failure scale, and parent’s support scale as
measurement tools. Data of research were analysed using two predictor regression analysis (anareg),
resulted in coefficient correlation number of the three variables = 0,761 whereas the
significance level was = 0,000 (p<0, 01). This means there is very significant positive correlation among
fear of failure, parent’s support and study motivation among students in the two pesantrens. The more
fear of failure and parent’s support, the more study motivation would be, otherwise the less fear of
failure and parent’s support, the less study motivation would be. Effective contribution of fear of failure
to study motivation was 0, 2%, while effective contribution of parent’s support to study motivation was
57, 7%
