Abstract

 

Anak prasekolah dapat dibilang dalam termasuk sebagai golden age, hal ini dikarenakan masa perkembangan anak usia prasekolah mengalami banyak perubahan yang sangat penting terutama pada kemampuan kognitif dan perkembangan psikologis (afek positif). Terdapat beberapa studi ditemukan bahwa afek positif dapat meningkatkan fleksibilitas kognitif individu, serta membantu individu dalam memecahkan masalah secara kreatif. Oleh karena itu, perlu diketahui apakah afek positif dapat berhubungan dengan kemampuan kognitif, terutama pada afek positif anak prasekolah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan afek positif dan kemampuan kognitif pada anak prasekolah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif non-eksperimental. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 100 anak prasekolah dengan rentang usia 3-6 tahun bertempat tinggal di tiga desa Kabupaten Pandeglang. Penelitian ini menggunakan alat ukur face scale test (FST) untuk mengukur afek positif dan Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) untuk mengukur kemampuan kognitif. Hasil uji reliabilitas pada alat ukur FST menunjukkan 0.833 dan WPPSI menunjukkan 0.883. Hasil uji statistik korelasi Spearman menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara afek positif dan kemampuan kognitif (rs = 0.218*, p=0.029). Artinya dapat dikatakan afek positif memiliki hubungan dengan kemampuan kognitif namun tidak kuat.
