Abstract


The objective of this study is to find out the effect of positive thinking training in an effort to raise self-acceptance in students with disabilities. Students with disabilities who receive positive thinking training are expected to have a higher level of self-acceptance compared to students with disabilities who do not receive the training. The subjects of this research are 13 students with disabilities from various faculties with a low to moderate level of self-acceptance based on the result of a prior interview. This research collects data using a scale of self-acceptance containing statements that indicate behaviors on the object variable that will be measured and given directly to the subjects. Data analysis in this research analyzes the comparison of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up results with the Wilcoxon test to compare pre-post, post-follow, and pre-follow. The result of Friendman test analysis shows the coefficient of chi-square=14.711 with p=0.001 which shows a very significant difference in self-acceptance between pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The result of Wilcoxon test on pre-post shows Z=-2.845 with p=0.004, post-follow shows Z=-1.187 with p=0.23, and pre-follow shows Z=-3.062 with p=0.002, which shows that there is a different level of self-acceptance during pre-post, post-follow, and pre-follow. The result of the study based on Friedman test and Wilcoxon test analysis shows that there is a significant increase in self-acceptance after the training. This proves that positive thinking training can increase the level of self-acceptance in students with disabilities.
