Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of gratitude on resilience levels among Muslim Psychology students in the era of hyperconnectivity. The research subjects consisted of 32 psychology students from the class of 2023 at an Islamic university in Yogyakarta. The measurements were conducted using the Islamic Gratitude Scale (IGS-10) to assess gratitude, which includes intrinsic and extrinsic gratitude, as well as the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) to measure resilience. The data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation analysis and linear regression using the Jamovi software. Results revealed that while gratitude did not directly correlate with resilience (r = .244, p > .05), intrinsic gratitude emerged as a significant predictor (B = .443, p = .017) for Muslim psychology students in the hyperconnectivity era. These findings imply that mental health interventions should prioritize fostering internal values and intrinsic drives rather than relying solely on external or generalized coping mechanisms to build psychological resilience against digital demands.
