THE CORRELATION BETWEEN HAPPINESS LEVEL AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF THE 7TH SEMESTER STUDENTS OF ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM OF SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
The objective of this study was to investigate whether or not there was a significant correlation between happiness level and academic achievement. Applying a correlational study design, this present study got involved the 7th-semester students of the English Education Study Program within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of Sriwijaya University. The data were from the students’ cumulative GPA and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) responded by the students. The collected data were analyzed statistically by correlation analysis. In terms of the description of the students’ happiness level, the result of the data analysis showed that 74% of the students were in “Somewhat Unhappy” category, suggesting that the students were not quite happy. That was probably due to the academic load they had as a student considering the fact that as the 7th-semester students, they had to start thinking and doing their final project as the requirement to complete their undergraduate study. However, their academic achievement showed that they were in “Excellent” and “Very Good” categories, showing that they still managed to do their best as students. For the result of the correlation analysis, however, the finding showed that there was a weak, negative, and not significant correlation between the students’ happiness level and their academic achievement. In other words, their academic achievement was not determined by their happiness; they kept working on their best to manage their academic lives regardless of what level of happiness they had.
