Abstract

In our fast-paced and distracted modern lives, simple moments of aesthetic significance are often overlooked, even though everyday beauty has significant potential to strengthen individuals' psychological well-being. This study aims to examine how appreciation of everyday beauty contributes to the restoration and strengthening of mental health. Using a literature review approach, 27 national and international scientific articles published from 2015-2025 were thematically analyzed from various databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Scopus. The studies covered the themes of aesthetic experience, positive emotions, self-reflection, psychological resilience, and meaning-making in everyday contexts. The results show that appreciation of everyday beauty - whether in the form of nature, art, moral actions, specific achievements or accomplishments, or social relationships - contributes to increased positive affect, gratitude, meaning in life, and emotional flexibility. In addition, aesthetic experience-based interventions such as beauty journaling and narrative reflection were found to be effective in increasing happiness and reducing stress symptoms. These findings confirm that Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence (ABE) is a relevant character strength as a humanistic, low-cost, inclusive, and contextualized psychological recovery mechanism, and can be an important foundation for the development of promotive strategies in the mental health of Indonesians.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize scientific findings related to the role of older adults as primary caregivers and its impact on the digital behavior of Generation Alpha children and adolescents. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study analyzed 15 relevant scientific articles published in the last ten years. The results of the analysis show that the elderly (grandparents) play a crucial role as mediators of their grandchildren's digital media use. However, the effectiveness of this mediating role is significantly hampered by the elderly's limited digital literacy and psychological pressures. This skills gap leads to inconsistent screen regulation, which significantly increases the risk of problematic digital behavior in grandchildren. Furthermore, it was identified that the long-term impact of elderly caregiving on grandchildren's digital addiction is mediated by their psychosocial vulnerability as they enter adulthood, namely social anxiety and loneliness. The conclusions of this study emphasize the need for structured interventions in the form of age-sensitive digital literacy education for the elderly, as well as policies that support collaborative intergenerational caregiving to shape healthy digital behavior in Generation Alpha.
