Abstract
This study examines the influence of environmental factors on the level of gratitude among university students, involving 231 participants from the Faculty of Education at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang (UNIMEN). The purpose of this research is to explore how aspects such as social support, access to green spaces, and community engagement contribute to students' sense of gratitude and overall well-being. Using a quantitative approach, a survey was distributed to 4th and 6th semester students. The survey employed a Likert scale to measure gratitude levels and assessed environmental factors, including social support and campus environment. Data were analyzed through linear regression to explore the relationship between these environmental factors and gratitude. The analysis was conducted using linear regression to determine the relationship between these environmental factors and gratitude levels. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between supportive environmental conditions—such as community engagement and green spaces, and gratitude levels, emphasizing that students with access to supportive environments were more likely to express higher gratitude and experience enhanced well-being. These findings suggest that fostering environments that promote social support and provide access to natural spaces can positively impact students' emotional health, with gratitude serving as a key mediator in this relationship. Educational institutions can benefit from this research by recognizing the role of environmental factors in student well-being and developing programs or policies that enhance social support and access to green spaces on campus.
