Penulisan Kreatif Sebagai Kaedah Regulasi Emosi dan Pembentukan Kecerdasan Spiritual dalam Kalangan Mahasiswa
Abstract
Abstrak
Dari sudut pandang psikologi perkembangan, remaja berdepan dengan pelbagai tahap konflik untuk memilih emosi terbaik dalam situasi yang rencam. Anjakan masa dan latar dari tahap kanak-kanak melintasi dewasa, merupakan satu fasa yang luar biasa genting dan sangat memberi dampak terhadap masa hadapannya. Maka fasa ini perlu didukung bukan sahaja sisi sosial, intelektual malah yang lebih utama adalah spiritual. Tulisan ini merungkai peranan intelektual menerusi kegiatan penulisan kreatif untuk membantu remaja (mahasiswa) melakukan regulasi emosi khasnya melalui gubahan cerpen. Pembentukan watak fiktif yang bertindakbalas terhadap konflik yang bergerak di atas garis plot cerpen, rata-rata mewakili proses penataan diri saat berdepan dengan permasalahan. Seramai 64 responden terlibat yang terdiri daripada mahasiswa Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Kajian ini menggunakan Model Kecerdasan Emosi Goleman (1998) dan Noriah et al. (2004) bagi membentuk intisari soal selidik. Sebanyak tujuh dimensi kecerdasan emosi dan spiritual dikaji, iaitu kesedaran diri, regulasi/pengurusan emosi, motivasi diri, empati, kemahiran sosial, kerohanian dan kematangan. Hasil kajian menemukan kecerdasan emosi dan spiritual mahasiswa berada pada tahap tinggi. Ia termasuk tahap regulasi emosi mereka. Analisis korelasi mendapati terdapat hubungan positif signifikan yang kuat antara kecerdasan spiritual dengan kecerdasan emosi. Begitu juga kecerdasan spiritual dengan regulasi emosi. Ini bermakna bahawa kecerdasan spiritual mahasiswa boleh mempengaruhi regulasi emosi dan kecerdasan emosi mereka. Implikasinya, adalah penting kecerdasan spiritual dipupuk bagi melahirkan mahasiswa dengan kecerdasan emosi yang baik. Menariknya, ia mengarah pembentukan kemahiran mencipta watak, latar, plot, sudut pandang dan gaya bahasa yang dapat menyalurkan emosi yang baik dan mampu menilai semula konflik yang dibangunkan dalam narasi sesebuah cerpen.

Creative Writing as a Method of Emotional Regulation and the Development of Spiritual Intelligence Among University Students
Abstract
From the perspective of developmental psychology, adolescents face various stages of conflict in choosing the best emotions in complex situations. The transition from childhood to adulthood is an extremely critical phase that significantly impacts their future. Therefore, this phase needs to be supported not only socially and intellectually, but more importantly, spiritually. This article explores the role of intellectual engagement through creative writing activities to help adolescents (university students) regulate their emotions, particularly through short story composition. The development of fictional characters responding to conflicts along the short story’s plot typically represents the process of self-regulation. Participation involves 64 students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The study used the Emotional Intelligence Model by Goleman (1998) and Noriah et al. (2004) to form the survey. Seven dimensions of emotional and spiritual intelligence were examined: self-awareness, emotional regulation, self-motivation, empathy, social skills, spirituality, and maturity. It discovered that the emotional and spiritual intelligence of the students was at a high level, including their emotional regulation. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence, as well as between spiritual intelligence and emotional regulation. This means that the students’ spiritual intelligence influenced their emotional regulation and emotional intelligence. The implication is that it is important to cultivate spiritual intelligence to produce students with good emotional intelligence. Interestingly, this also leads to the development of skills in creating characters, settings, plots, point of view, and stylistic that can channel positive emotions and reassess the conflicts developed in a short story’s narrative.
