Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara mental toughness dengan competition pressure pada atlet taekwondo di Surabaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 105 atlet taekwondo aktif Surabaya yang telah mengikuti kejuaraan nasional minimal satu kali dalam dua tahun terakhir, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan skala mental toughness berdasarkan teori Jones (2007) dan skala competition pressure berdasarkan teori Weinberg (2006), yang telah memenuhi uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson Product Moment dengan bantuan program SPSS versi 24. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan dan bersifat negatif antara mental toughness dan competition pressure. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat mental toughness yang dimiliki atlet, maka semakin rendah tekanan kompetitif yang dirasakan, dan sebaliknya.
This study aimed to examine the relationship between mental toughness and competition pressure among taekwondo athletes in Surabaya. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 105 active taekwondo athletes from various dojangs in Surabaya who had participated in national-level competitions at least once within the last two years, selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments included a mental toughness scale based on Jones’ theory (2007) and a competition pressure scale based on Weinberg’s theory (2006), both of which met the validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with the assistance of SPSS version 24. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between mental toughness and competition. This finding suggests that higher levels of mental toughness are associated with lower levels of perceived competition pressure, and vice versa.
