The Relationship Between Adversity Quotient, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Skills Among Pre-University Students

This study aimed to determine the relationship between Adversity Quotient, Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Skills among pre-university students. The respondents were selected by using simple random sampling which is 119 students from 152. The data were obtained using three sets of questionnaires which is Adversity Response Profile (2001), Malaysia Emotional Intelligence Quotient Inventory and Malaysia Leadership Audit Trait Inventory. Findings revealed that the level of Adversity Quotient in its 4 components was marked moderate (mean =3.3227) while their levels of Emotional Intelligence in its 7 components was marked high (mean =4.0672) and for Leadership Skills level in its (7) components marked high ( ean =3.8530). Moderate positive correlation (0.451) was obtained through the analysis between the leadership skills and Emotional Intelligence, while no significant correlation was found between leadership skills and total Adversity Quotient, as well as between emotional intelligence and Adversity Quotient. It was concluded that the students’ level of Adversity Quotinet was not totally affected by emotional intelligence and also did not totally affect their leadership skills.

Comparative Study of Life Satisfaction, Adversity Quotient and Self-concept in Working and Non-working Women

This ex-post facto study examines the relationship between employment status and psychological variables - life satisfaction, adversity quotient, and self-concept - among married women aged 35-45 in semi-urban and urban areas of India. Utilizing purposive sampling with the snowball method, data were collected from 76 working women and 76 non-working women who met specific inclusion criteria. Assessment tools included the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for life satisfaction, the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) for adversity quotient, and the Mohsin Self-Concept Inventory (MSCI) for self-concept. Analysis involved one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results revealed significant differences in both life satisfaction and self-concept between working and non-working women, with employed individuals reporting higher levels of satisfaction and self-concept. However, no significant difference was observed in adversity quotient between the two groups. These findings suggest that employment status may influence various aspects of psychological well-being differently among women in India. Implications for policy and intervention strategies aimed at enhancing women's overall well-being are discussed.

Student’s Reversible Thinking Processes: An Analysis Based on Adversity Quotient Type Climbers

Reversibility thinking carried out mentally in mathematical operations has an important role in the process of understanding concepts as it involves developing a thinking process from beginning to end and from end to beginning. This qualitative research aims to describe students' reversible thinking processes in solving algebra problems, specifically in climber-type adversity quotient. A total of 2 students who have the climber type were selected as participants from 36 potential subjects involved in the research. Data collection was carried out by providing Adversity Response Profile questionnaires, Test of Thinking Reversible, and semi-structured interviews. Our participants solved problems according to polya stages and through forward and reverse processes. The results of data analysis show that in the forward process, there are 2 aspects of reversible thinking, namely negation and reciprocity, while in the reverse process, they involve 2 aspects of reversible thinking, namely the capability to return to initial data after obtaining the result and negation. The results suggest that student's ability to perform mental reversals indicates a strong reversible thought process, leading to more precise cognitive thinking.

Based on the sub-dimensions, it is known that the dimensions with the lowest and lowest average values are origin and ownership (37.41) and control (42.53). Lecturers must increase the adversity quotient to help control the challenges they face better. Efforts that can be made are by studying and practicing the LEAD method (Listen, Explore, Analyze, Do). With a good level of adversity quotient, it is hoped that lecturers will be more prepared and maximal in completing assignments, especially related to learning.

Relationship between Students’ Adversity Quotient and their English Performance at a University in Viet Nam

Learning a foreign language (FL) is often characterized by challenges, setbacks, and the need to adapt to new linguistic and cultural contexts. Adversity Quotient (AQ) offers a unique perspective on individuals’ ability to navigate and overcome these obstacles. For these reasons, the study was carried out to measure the AQ, FL competence and investigate the relationship between the AQ and FL competence of students at a university in Vietnam. The participants were recruited from 409 students at a university in Vietnam with different majors and different courses to measure the AQ index, FL competence and the relationship between the AQ index and students’ FL competence. Two instruments were used i.e., the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) 1.0 was developed by Paul G. Stoltz to measure an individual’s AQ and the ASK model (Attitude – Skills – Knowledge) in combination with the results of English subjects to assess students’ competence in using English. SPSS 26 software was used for data analysis. The findings indicated that the students’ AQ index is at a moderately low level; foreign language competence is at a moderately fair level and there is a low positive correlation between the student’s AQ and FL competence.

The camper student’s abstract thinking abilities in solving mathematical problem had reached the level of perceptual abstraction, internalization, interiorization, and second level of interiorization although there are some drawbacks. The quitter student’s abstract thinking abilities in solving mathematical problem had reached the level of perceptual abstraction only.

PRE-SERVICE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS’ ALGEBRAIC THINKING IN SOLVING MATHEMATICS PROBLEMS BASED ON ADVERSITY QUOTIENT

Algebraic thinking has an important role in solving mathematics problems. In addition, Adversity Quotient (AQ) is one of the factors that can help students succeed in solving math problems. This study aims to investigate the algebraic thinking skills of pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) in solving math problems based on adversity quotient (AQ). This study investigates three components of algebraic thinking, namely generalization, functional thinking, and justification. This research used qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects were 30 PMTs at one of private universities in Surakarta District, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected by the algebraic thinking test, ARP (Adversity Response Profile) questionnaires, and interview protocol. The results showed that climber PMTs were able to demonstrate algebraic thinking activities in the components of arithmetic generalization, functional thinking, and generalization and justification. Camper PMTs were only able to demonstrate algebraic thinking activities in the components of arithmetic generalization and also generalization and justification. Meanwhile, quitter PMTs were unable to demonstrate algebraic thinking activities in all components. It can be concluded that the characteristics of AQ are related to the PMTs’ algebraic thinking abilities

This research is a descriptive qualitative research that aims to analyze the profile of students' mathematical spatial reasoning abilities in cubes and blocks in terms of adversity quotient in class IX at SMP Negeri 1 Galesong Utara. The research subjects consisted of three students who were selected based on their scores on the adversity response profile (ARP) questionnaire: one subject AQ climber type, one subject AQ camper type, and one subject AQ quitte type. Next, the researcher asked spatial reasoning ability test questions on cubes and blocks and conducted interviews with each subject. The spatial reasoning ability profile refers to three indicators: spatial visualization, mental rotation, and spatial orientation. The results showed that (1) AQ climber type students had good spatial visualization skills in turning block images into cube nets, AQ climber type students had good mental rotation skills in rotating cube images up to 180 degrees, AQ type climber climber students had good spatial orientation ability in determining an image that was not a beam view from the front. (2) Camper-type AQ students have good spatial visualization abilities in changing block shapes into cube nets; camper-type AQ students do not have good mental rotation skills in rotating cube shapes as far as 180 °, and camper-type AQ students have the ability to define an image that is not a frontal beam view. (3) Quitter-type AQ students did not have good spatial visualization skills in turning block images into cube nets, quitter-type AQ students did not have good mental rotation abilities in rotating cube shapes as far as 180 °, and quitter-type AQ students did not have good spatial orientation capabilities in determining images that were not a beam view from the front.

Psychological Resilience of Employees in Adversity Quotient: Malaysian Perspective in Facing Challenges

Psychological resilience is the ability to manage psychologically or emotionally with a catastrophe or to swiftly recover to pre-crisis position. Adversity is one of the most important abilities for psychological resilience. Workers in the twenty-first century must be able to deal with adversity in a challenging work environment, especially during a pandemic.The purpose of this study was to determine the level of adversity quotient among Malaysian employees during the pandemic period. Different employees' ability adversity quotients have also been compared in terms of gender, race, and age. This study's design is a cross-sectional surveywith 585 respondents from all around Malaysia selected using a convenient sampling technique. A modified version of Dr. Paul G. Stoltz's Adversity Response Profile was employed as instrumentin this study. The data was then analysed with the sum, median, mean, standard deviation, independent-sample t-test, and logistic regression.The findings of the study show that the majority of employees have a high adversity quotient score.In terms of gender, men employees tend to score higher than female employees. Employees aged 50 and over excel those aged 26 and below. However, the adversity quotient score for employees of different races is not significantly different. Employers should eventually take serious concern by implementing the appropriate intervention programme or policy aimed at potential employees in order to overcome their shortcoming in the adversity quotientand, more importantly, to enhance the employee's ability to face challenges in order to drive the company's mission and vision.

The Effect of Service Learning on the Development of Trait Emotional Intelligence and Adversity Quotient in Youths: An Experimental Study

This study aims to determine the effect of service learning (SL) on the trait emotional intelligence and adversity quotient of Chinese undergraduate students in Hong Kong. The SL programme lasted six months (at least 80 service hours). In a pre-test-post-test experimental design, students who participated in the SL during that time period were classified as the experimental group (n = 139; 69 male, 70 female), whereas students who never participated in SL were classified as the comparison group (n = 133; 66 male, 67 female). Both groups of participants were asked to finish the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) and the Adversity Response Profile® (ARP) before and after the SL programme. The results showed that there were no significant differences in WLEIS and ARP scores (at the pre-test) between the experimental and comparison groups. The results further revealed that students in the experimental group had better improvements in WLEIS and ARP than those in the comparison group after they completed SL. These findings provide valuable insights and implications for incorporating components of SL into interventions for youths to improve their ability to process emotions and overcome adversity.

Analisis Proses Berpikir Siswa dalam Memecahkan Masalah Matematika ditinjau dari Adversity Quotient (AQ) Siswa Kelas VIII MTs Negeri 1 Lombok Barat Tahun Ajaran 2022/2023

This study aims to determine students' thinking processes in solving mathematical problems. Data analysis was carried out based on Ilman's thinking process theory in terms of the students' adversity quotient. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive research. The selection of research subjects was based on the recommendation of the mathematics teacher and obtained class VIII A MTs Negeri 1 West Lombok for the 2022/2023 academic year as research subjects. To deepen the research results, 2 students were selected from each type of AQ students. Data collection techniques using adversity response profile questionnaires, students' thinking process tests and interviews. The data analysis technique used is data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. From the research results it can be seen that climber type students tend to use conceptual thinking processes in solving mathematical problems. Where climber students are able to express what is known and asked in questions with their own sentences, answer with concepts that have been learned and are able to explain the steps taken. Meanwhile, camper students tend to use semi-conceptual thinking processes in solving mathematical problems. Where camper students are able to express what is known and asked in questions, in answering they tend to use concepts that have been learned even though they are incomplete and are less able to explain the steps taken.

Profile of Students’ Argumentation Ability Based On Adversity Quotient In Statistical Problem

Argumentative ability can be seen from the argumentation pattern that appears. This pattern needs to be evaluated to look over the quality of the argumentation to make the right problem-solving. This evaluation can be done by recognizing the components that make up the argument. This study goals to describe students' argumentation abilities in solving statistical problem based on Adversity Quotients (AQ). This qualitative descriptive research elaborated 39 students taking a statistical methods course. Subjects were grouped into three types of Adversity Quotient based on the ARP (Adversity Response Profile) questionnaire results. Data were obtained using statistical problem tests and interviews. The outcomes showed three levels of AQ found in students, namely Camper, Toward Climber, and Climber. Camper-type students bring up the Claim-Data-Warrant pattern. Students with AQ levels towards climbers tend to have the same pattern as the Camper type. In comparison, students with the AQ Climber type have a Claim-Data-Warrants-Backing pattern. Based on the outcomes of the study, it can see that students' argumentation skills are determined by the Adversity Quotient level they have when solving statistical problems.

ADVERSITY QUOTIENT DENGAN PROKRASTINASI AKADEMIK MENYELESAIKAN SKRIPSI PADA MAHASISWA PSIKOLOGI UKSW

This research was intentded to know the difference relationship between Adversity Quotient and academic procrastination in completing thesis for students of the Faculty of Psychology, Satya Wacana Christian University. The participants in this study were 55 psychology students from class 2017. The method used in this research is quantitative correlation. Data collection was carried out using a modified procrastination measurement tool from the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (TPS) and an adversity quotient scale modified by the Adversity Response Profile (ARP). The data analysis technique used in this study is the product moment correlation analysis technique. The results of this study show that there is a significant negative relationship between the Adversity Quotient and academic procrastination. This can be seen from the value of the correlation coefficient r = -0.378 with sig = 0.002 (p <0.05). Which means the higher the adversity quotient, the lower the academic procrastination, and conversely the lower the adversity quotient, the higher the academic procrastination.

Adapted Adversity Quotient Program–Oxymoron or Opportunity? A Study of Special Education Teachers in Raipur, Chhattisgarh

It is commonly believed that some types of schools, such as those catering to special children, are difficult or problematic places to work (Pratt cited in Nguyen, 2002). Freeman (1988) made the observation that in order to properly care for children who have particular requirements, teachers need to fulfil not only the duty of an educator but also that of a nurse and a parent. Because of this, teachers of special education are more likely to experience burnout and stress (Freeman, 1988). It is necessary to improve special education teachers' capacity to persevere in the face of adversity because they are always facing new obstacles in their work. Therefore, it is essential to have an understanding of one's adversity quotient (AQ). The capacity to persevere in the face of adversity is a crucial component in determining one's quality of life. The findings showed that individuals with a high AQ fared better than those with a low AQ (Stoltz, 1997). In order to raise the adversity quotient (AQ) of the special education teachers working at a special education school in Raipur (Chhattisgarh), three industry professionals designed and tested an Adversity Quotient (AQ) Program. The post- test scores dramatically improved to a level that was considered to be reasonably high after the AQ Program that had been established was put into action. For the purpose of determining their AQ, the Adversity Response Profile Quick Take (Stoltz, 1997) was utilized. In the United States, the Maricopa School District in Arizona implemented a programme called AQ to encourage educators "to achieve more with less." The findings of this study suggest that the adversity quotient could be incorporated into faculty development programmes in order to help special education teachers become more resilient and capable members of the labor force.

Peran adversity quotient terhadap work-life balance karyawan

The imbalance between the world of work and the personal life of employees can interfere with daily activities so that it can cause problems both in the world of work and in personal life. One of those who are considered capable of being able to better balance between personal and work life is the impulse in the individual to constantly move towards his life goals. Therefore, this study aims to test the role of the Adversity Quotient on the Work-Life Balance. A total of 150 employees actively participated in this study which was obtained using the Convenience Sampling technique. The instruments used are the Work/non-work Interference and Enhancement Scale and the Adversity Response Profile. The results of a simple linear regression test show that the Adversity Quotient is able to predict the Employee's Work-Life Balance. This means that the higher the Adversity Quotient, the higher the Work-Life Balance felt by employees. Keywords: adversity quotient, employee, work-life balance

A study on level of adversity quotient of adolescents across age and gender

Adversity Quotient (AQ) is one of the probable indicators of a person’s success in life. It is useful to predict attitude, mental stress, perseverance, longevity, learning, and response to changes in the environment. An AQ measures the ability of a person to deal with adversities in his or her life. This study assess the level of AQ of adolescents of Lucknow city. The study was conducted among 150 adolescents (10–19 years), out of which 79 were boys and 71 were girls. Adversity Response Profile by Paul Stoltz (2001) was used to assess the level of AQ of the respondents. Result reveals that a significant proportion (42.0%) of adolescents has a low level of AQ. At the same time, only 2% of them fall under the high AQ level. Further probing, the data reveal that, in the 10–14 years age group, significant proportion (47.1%) of respondents falls under a low level of AQ. At the same time, 2.3% of adolescents have above average level of AQ. The level of AQ in 15–19 years reveals that a major proportion (39.8%) of the respondents falls at low level of AQ, and 2.7% of them have a high AQ. The level of AQ of adolescents across gender showed that a major proportion (43.6%) of girls have a low AQ and 1.4% have a high AQ. Similarly, a major proportion (40.5%) of boys falls under the low level of AQ and 2.5% high level of AQ.

Teachers’ resilience in facing workload adversities in times of pandemic: The case of the private school teachers in a developing country

This case study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to determine the resilience of private school teachers in facing workload adversities during the COVID-19 pandemic in Academic Year 2020-2021. It also analysed how the teaching workload adversities affect the teachers’ teaching performance in terms of assigned classes and school-related activities, and teacher well-being in terms of teaching activities, non-teaching activities, and well-being. Resilience was determined using the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) developed by Dr. Paul Stoltz, the proponent of Adversity Quotient. Findings showed that the mean of respondents’ ARP is Below Average. This in addition to heavy and challenging teaching workloads has negative impacts on the teachers’ teaching performance and well-being. The study provides implications not only to its subjects but to all stakeholders of an educational institution. It signifies the importance of resilience or the ability to bounce back from adversities in life. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic persists, having resilience is a must especially for teachers. Thus, it calls for a more administrative support by providing the ways and means to help develop and strengthen the teachers’ resilience especially in this time of pandemic.

Re-Developing the Adversity Response Profile for Chinese University Students.

Adversity response is fundamental to dealing with adversity. This paper reports the re-development and subsequent psychometric evaluation of the Adversity Response Profile for Chinese University Students (ARP-CUS). The data were collected from a Chinese university student sample (n = 474). Factor analysis and Rasch analysis were used to examine the psychometric properties of the ARP-CUS. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-factor model; then confirmatory factor analysis supported a five-factor solution. Rasch analysis provided further evidence of the psychometric quality of the instrument in terms of dimensionality, rating scale effectiveness, and item fit statistics for those six dimensions. The final version of the ARP-CUS contains 24 items across five subscales for assessing students’ responses to adversity, including control, attribution, reach, endurance, and transcendence. Overall, ARP-CUS demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties for quantifying the adversity quotient of Chinese university students.

Student Argumentation Structure in Solving Statistical Problems Based on Adversity Quotient

Evaluation of the argumentation structure is needed to check the quality of student argumentation to produce appropriate problem-solving. Such evaluation can be carried out by identifying the constituent components of the argument. This study aims to describe the structure of student argumentation in solving statistical problems based on the Adversity Quotient (AQ). This qualitative descriptive type of research involved 52 students who were taking statistical methods courses. Participants were classified into three Categories of Adversity Quotient based on the results of the ARP (Adversity Response Profile) questionnaire. Data were obtained using statistical problem tests and interviews. The results showed that students with the AQ Climber category were able to meet all the constituent components of argumentation when solving statistical problems. AQ Camper-type students are only able to meet three components, namely claims, evidence, and reasoning. Meanwhile, students with the AQ Quitter type are only able to fulfill one component, namely claims. Based on the results of the study, the level of Adversity Quotient determines the quality of the student's argumentation structure when solving statistical problems.
