The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not differences in stress and coping of stress on students or students who have the personality type A and type B, especially in the face of national examinations. The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach. This study is a non-experimental research because it does not look for causal relationships as well as in experimental research. Furthermore, the methods used in this study is a survey method.
From the test results of the Independent Samples t-test to see differences in stress, at a 0.05 significance level test value t = -1.632 and df = 188, t table shows the number t = 1.960, meaning t count <t table. It can be concluded that there was no difference in stress in male and female students who have the personality type A and type B in the national exams. Furthermore, based on hypothesis testing with the Mann-Whitney test to see differences in coping with stress, p-value = 0.319. With the significance level α = 0.05 then the inferred p-value = 0.319> α = 0.05. These results showed no difference in coping with the stress on students who have the personality type A and type B in the national exams.
Thus the research hypothesis that states there are different levels of stress and coping of stress on students who have the personality type A and type B in the face of the national exam was rejected.
