Abstract This study investigated the impact of the Adversity Quotient (AQ) on the academic performance of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) students in Calamba City, Laguna. The research aimed to determine whether students' ability to bounce back from setbacks and adjust to new situations influenced their success in a demanding academic environment. Previous studies have highlighted the role of resilience in academic success, but the specific effects of AQ on BSA students' performance remained under-explored. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed to explore the relationship between AQ and academic performance. Quantitative data were collected from BSA students across different demographics, including age, gender, year level, and school. The study utilized surveys to measure the students' AQ and academic performance, with data analysis focusing on correlation and regression techniques to determine the strength and significance of the relationships between these variables.
The findings revealed a moderate positive correlation between AQ and academic performance, with a Spearman's rho coefficient of 0.441, indicating that higher AQ levels were associated with better academic outcomes. Regression analysis showed that 15.6% of the variance in academic performance could be explained by variations in AQ. Additionally, the study identified that while all demographic groups exhibited very high AQ scores, certain groups, such as second and third-year students, showed slightly higher resilience levels. The study recommended implementing resilience-building programs, peer support groups, and counseling services to further enhance students' ability to overcome academic challenges.
