Improving student resilience through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) therapy by strengthening self-awareness

Resilience is an important capacity that enables students to adapt to academic stress and social pressures. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of self-awareness–based NLP therapy in improving students’ resilience. This research is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental design with a control group and an experimental group. The data collection methods included a resilience scale to measure students’ academic and social resilience, as well as self-awareness and resilience scales administered before and after the intervention to evaluate the outcomes of the NLP intervention. The subjects of this research were students with low levels of resilience, consisting of 146 female students and 124 male students. The results showed that self-awareness–based NLP intervention was effective in increasing students’ academic and social resilience. The conclusion of this research is that students’ thoughts about their lives have the potential to influence their resilience, and NLP is beneficial in fostering positive thinking in students so that they can better understand themselves and channel negative thoughts and emotions into positive actions.
