Pengaruh Self-Control terhadap Perilaku Merokok Mahasiswa selama Pandemi COVID-19

Abstract

Abstract. The Covid-19 pandemic requires people to maintain physical distance (physical distancing) and social distancing (social distancing) to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Self-control  is a person's ability to be able to restrain himself and set himself up for better things when faced with temptations. Smoking activity can be influenced by various factors such as self-control as an internal factor. The purpose of this study  was to determine the effect of self-control on student smoking behavior during the covid-19 pandemic. The method used in this research is correlational with the sampling technique using purposive sampling with the number of respondents being 144 people. The self-control measurement tool uses the Tangney Self-Control Scale (SCS) and the smoking behavior variable uses a measuring tool made by the Associated Counseling Professional USA (Smoking Assessment Questionnaire) which was adapted by (Stephani Raihana Hamdan, 2013). The results showed that there was a significant effect of self-control variables on smoking behavior with p = 0.000 t = -0.566. Abstrak.
