Husnuzan Dan Fear Of Negative Evaluation Pada Emerging Adulthood di Indonesia

Abstract

During the process of transitioning into adulthood, individuals will encounter a range of responsibilities, including pursuing further education, establishing a career, seeking intimate relationships, and reaching the appropriate age for marriage. The societal and personal expectations that are imposed can create stressors that may have adverse effects on individuals in their emerging adulthood phase, one of which is the development of a fear of negative evaluation (FNE). One of potential solution of it is internalizing husn al-zhann. The current study involving 340 emerging adults who are Muslims and citizens of Indonesia was conducted to investigate the potential correlation of internalizing husn al-zhann on reducing FNE. The findings revealed that there was a negative correlation between overall husn al-zhann and FNE (r = -0.252). Moreover, harboring prejudices towards Allah SWT and others also exhibited negative correlations with FNE, with correlation coefficients of -0.134 and -0.253, respectively. These results suggest that a higher level of husn al-zhann is associated with lower levels of FNE.
