Pengaruh Self Efficacy Terhadap Penyesuaian Diri Mahasiswa Perantau Dengan Dukungan Teman Sebaya Sebagai Variabel Moderator

Students from out-of-town often face challenges in adjusting
to their new environment in academic, social, and emotional
aspects. This study aims to analyze the influence of selfefficacy and peer support on the adjustment of students from
out-of-town, as well as to examine the role of peer support
as a moderator variable. This study employs a quantitative
approach with an ex post facto (causal-comparative) and
cross-sectional design. The sample consists of out-of-state
students in the Guidance and Counseling Program at
Tadulako University, selected using purposive sampling.
Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire and
analyzed using simple linear regression and Moderated
Regression Analysis (MRA) with the aid of SPSS version
25. The results indicate that self-efficacy has a positive and
significant effect on the adjustment of migrant students,
contributing 49.4%. Additionally, peer support also has a
significant effect on adjustment. Furthermore, the results of
the moderation analysis indicate that peer support acts as a
moderator variable that strengthens the influence of selfefficacy on adjustment, with an increase in the coefficient of
determination to 57.3%. Thus, it can be concluded that selfefficacy and peer support are important factors in enhancing
the adjustment abilities of migrant students.
