Abstract
This study aims to determine the level of student optimism and the need to develop Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a strategy to increase student optimism. Convenience sampling was used to collect data on 283 students. The instruments used are the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) and the ACT Web-based media needs questionnaire. The results showed that the level of student optimism in Jakarta was moderate (16.6 out of a total score of 24). Overall 44 students (16%) had a low level of optimism, 159 students (56%) had a moderate level of optimism, 80 students (28%) had a high level of optimism. Women had higher levels of optimism than men (16.7 vs 16.3). 158 students (63%) felt the need for a self-help web to increase optimism so that students could increase their optimism. It is also known that the development of Web-based ACT is also very important to help increase student optimism.
