Abstract

College students, who are working on their final assignments, need the grit to complete their studies well. However, there are still students who have low grit levels, so that not just a few students experience delays in completing their studies, even until they are dropped out of college. Mindfulness, which has the characteristics of being aware of itself, both in place and mentally, to the circumstances that occur at that moment, can help students refocus on their goals to complete their studies well. This study investigated the relationship between mindfulness and grit on final year students in Makassar. This study used a quantitative method with a correlational design. The subjects of this study were 183 last year students who are working on their final assignments at the top three public universities in Makassar City, namely Hasanuddin University, Makassar State University, and Alauddin State Islamic University Makassar. Data were analyzed using bivariate Person correlation, and the result indicated that mindfulness is significantly correlated with grit. The relationship between mindfulness and grit in this study was adequate with a correlation coefficient r(183)=0.352, p<0.05, indicating that the higher the mindfulness, the higher the grit, and vice versa. This showed that students who were undergoing the educational process in higher education should have attention and awareness in undergoing the educational process so that these students could achieve their long-term goals.
