Abstract

This study aimed to apply diary writing as a therapy for low-assertive students. This study employed the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) method developed by Lester Luborsky. The data were collected using diary as an elicitation medium and analyzed using the Garnefski Emotion-Cognitive Regulation Questionnaire (CER). The results showed that (1) student low assertiveness could be improved through expressive writing therapy using a diary as the medium; (2) diary as a therapeutic medium was effective in improving student low assertiveness because diary writing tasks can be distinguished based on CCRT and CER; (3) there was a difference between male and female assertiveness patterns; (4) subjects in the category were easier to change towards normal assertiveness with diary writing therapy compared to subjects in the LSE category. The results of the study therefore suggest that: (1) diary writing activity should be conducted in the classroom, especially in the midst of the current digital era, (2) the utilization of CCRT and CER methods through diary writing needs to be done simultaneously by lecturers during the academic advising activities. Keywords: assertive attitude, diary, emotion, student behavior
