THE ROLE OF STRENGTH-BASED PARENTING ON EDUCATIONAL RESILIENCY AMONG INDONESIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

University students in Indonesia increasingly face academic adversity due to rapid curricular reforms, heightened performance demands, and psychosocial stressors. This study aims to examine the role of strength-based parenting (SBP) in fostering educational resiliency among Indonesian university students. Using a correlational quantitative design, 207 students were recruited through convenience sampling and completed self-report questionnaires measuring SBP and educational resiliency. Linear regression analysis revealed that SBP significantly predicted educational resiliency (R² = .101, p < .001), suggesting that students who perceive parental recognition and support of their strengths are better equipped to manage academic stress. These findings align with Indonesia’s collectivist culture, where familial bonds extend into adulthood and influence student development. The study implies that integrating SBP into family engagement and academic support programs may enhance student resilience. Future educational policies should consider culturally grounded parenting strategies as part of student success frameworks.
