Abstract

Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic impacts almost all aspects of people's social life in Indonesia. COVID-19 pandemic requires the people to stay and do their home activities and adjust to health protocol. Changes in the situations due to pandemic must be followed with special efforts to keep people healthy, both physically and mentally. Resilience is a psychological resource that can help people cope with bad situations and adapt flexibility to stressful situations. Religiosity is one of several resources that can help people to develop resilience. This research aims to describe the correlation between religiosity and resilience among Indonesian Muslim society during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of participants is 101 participants (N=101) who were selected by using convenience sampling. Data collection in this research was conducted online using google form—this research using the religiosity scale, which was designed based on dimensions of religious orientation from Allport and Ross. Also, the researcher used the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to measure resilience. The result of the research showed religiosity had a significant correlation with resilience (r = 0.731, p = 0.000). The result indicates that religiosity has a role in developing resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. The suggestion from this research is that the result of this study can be used as a basis for providing further interventions for people exposed by COVID-19 and for a further researcher to examine the others psychological resources as an effort to developing resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
