Abstract

This research aims to determine the relationship between emotional stability and family motivation on the independence of vocational competence of mentally disabled students in State Special Schools in Yogyakarta City. This research uses a quantitative approach with data analysis using parametric statistical methods, which are analyzed descriptively to test the hypothesis using the Product Moment Correlation test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Correlation research is a non-experimental research that measures three variables and calculates the statistical relationship between the three variables using a questionnaire. Decision-making thesis testing in this research shows that the value of r_count>r_table means a relationship exists between the variables. The Pearson Correlation value between the Vocational Independence and Emotional Stability variables is -0.059, which is smaller than r_table, na3. Pearson Correlation value between the Vocational Independence variable and the family motivation variable is 0.519, which is than r_table, namely 0.316. So, there is no significant relationship between the emotional stability and Vocational Independence variables. However, there is still a relationship between the family motivation and Independence variables.
