Abstract

Subjective well-being (SWB) is important for children’s development, yet emotional challenges in elementary school can reduce students’ quality of life. This study aimed to improve SWB through a Writing Thank-You Letters intervention using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. Participants were 44 fourth-grade students of SD Al-Ma’soem Bandung. PANAS-C measured SWB, and GQ-6 assessed gratitude. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA with Bonferroni-corrected pairwise comparisons. Results showed a significant increase in positive affect (p < 0.001), while negative affect and gratitude were not significant in the long term. However, initial trends indicated improvement, with decreased negative affect (M = 39.36 to 38.00) and increased gratitude (M = 26.64 to 27.86). This intervention can serve as a reflective activity to refresh students’ emotional states. Regular implementation is recommended to strengthen long-term SWB and gratitude.

Abstract

Social exclusion is a common experience among adolescents and can influence how they interpret and respond to social situations. However, vignette-based instruments that capture adolescents’ cognitive processes in social exclusion contexts remain limited in Indonesia. This study aimed to conduct a preliminary linguistic and contextual adaptation of a Social Information Processing (SIP)-based social exclusion vignette for Indonesian adolescents. The adaptation process involved translation, expert review, cognitive interviews, and pilot testing. The findings suggest that the adapted vignettes are generally understandable and relevant to adolescents’ experiences, and that the structure is broadly consistent with the SIP framework. However, the results also revealed important psychometric limitations, particularly the low reliability of the hostile intent dimension and the limited stability associated with using only two items per factor. Therefore, the instrument should be considered a preliminary prototype rather than a validated tool and is not yet suitable for research or practical application without further development. Future studies are needed to refine the items, expand the number of indicators per dimension, and conduct confirmatory validation with larger samples.
