Abstract

In the dynamics of social life in the university environment, tolerance is an important foundation in creating harmonious interactions between individuals and groups. The reality of a pluralistic and culturally diverse campus requires students to develop an inclusive attitude, respect each other, and accept a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and values. One of the social variables that is estimated to play a role in shaping the level of internal tolerance of students is conformity, which is a person's tendency to adjust his behavior and views to the social norms that apply in the group. Conformity does not always have a negative connotation. In certain situations, conformity can be a mechanism for internalizing constructive values, such as empathy, openness, and respect for diversity. If group norms are inclusive, then conformity can encourage tolerance and strengthen social cohesion. On the other hand, in groups with exclusive and intolerant values, conformity can actually hinder the development of mutual respect. Therefore, it is important to analyze the extent to which conformity contributes to the formation of students' internal tolerances, as well as to identify the possibility of differences in influence based on their social background or the type of group they belong to. This study was conducted with a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional correlational design. Data collection was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to 569 students from four departments at STIT Muhammadiyah Ngawi. The data obtained was analyzed using the person product moment correlation technique. The findings of the study show a positive and significant relationship between conformity variables and internal tolerance. In other words, the higher the level of conformity of an individual to the norms of his group, the greater his tendency to show tolerance to the differences that exist within the group. This study aims to analyze, 1) whether there is a significant influence between conformity and strengthening of student internal tolerance; second, 2) the extent to which conformity affects the level of tolerance in the context of a particular student community or organization; and 3), whether these influences differ based on the type of group or social background of the students. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the formulation of a strategy for fostering student character that is more adaptive, tolerant, and responsive to social complexities in the academic environment.
