As well as the scale of positive thinking and stress that will be taken by research subjects or participants to answer the research objectives. The number of samples in this study were 82 mothers who worked during the corona pandemic.

While the stress scale developed from the theory of Sarafino (2011) made by researchers obtained a re,liability test result of 0.944. Analysis of research data using the use of Pearson products. Based on the results of the Pearson product moment analysis, the value that has no reference is -0.689 with p = 0.000; p â‰¤ 0.01, which indicates a significant negative between positive thinking and stress from working mothers.
