Abstract

The psychology of religion has expanded from a predominantly individual study of religious experience into a multidimensional field concerned with psychological, social, cultural, educational, and spiritual processes. Nevertheless, existing studies frequently examine its educational, mental health, social, and theoretical dimensions separately, resulting in limited conceptual integration across these domains. This article examines the contemporary development of the psychology of religion and synthesizes its relevance to education, social life, and psychological well-being. It employed a qualitative narrative-integrative literature review of recent publications identified through Google Scholar using Publish or Perish, supplemented by seminal works required to explain foundational concepts. The selected literature was analyzed through qualitative content analysis involving thematic coding, comparison of convergent and divergent arguments, and conceptual synthesis. The review identified three interrelated findings. First, contemporary psychology of religion conceptualizes religiosity as a dynamic and multidimensional phenomenon shaped by personal development and sociocultural contexts. Second, in education, religious meaning, moral reflection, social learning, and emotional regulation may contribute to character formation, learning motivation, psychological well-being, and social responsibility. Third, in social life, religiosity may support meaning-making, coping, prosocial behavior, tolerance, solidarity, and community support. These effects are not automatic, however, because rigid, punitive, or exclusionary interpretations may contribute to guilt, spiritual conflict, psychological distress, and social exclusion. The psychology of religion should therefore be applied critically and contextually, with attention to religious orientation, interpretation, pedagogy, social support, and cultural diversity.

Abstract

Loneliness among Generation Z has become a pressing public health issue, reflecting the paradox of increasing isolation despite high digital connectivity. This study aimed to test a multidimensional model integrating psychological, social, and spiritual factors to explain loneliness, with social support examined as a key mediating mechanism. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 527 Indonesian Generation Z participants using validated instruments, and analyzed through GSCA-SEM and path analysis with JASP. The findings revealed that self-compassion (β = -0.005, p = 0.015) and self-acceptance (β = -0.006, p = 0.007) directly reduced loneliness, while gratitude unexpectedly exhibited a positive association (β = 0.015, p = 0.005). Social support significantly mediated the influence of both social interaction (β = -0.037, p < 0.001) and self-compassion (β = -0.040, p < 0.001), explaining 54.7% of the variance (GFI = 0.947). These results challenge conventional theories, demonstrating that gratitude may operate differently in digital-native contexts and highlighting the central role of social support in translating interaction and psychological resources into reduced loneliness. The study offers theoretical innovation by proposing an integrated framework of loneliness and provides practical implications for developing culturally sensitive interventions for Generation Z in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines uswah hasanah as a pedagogical model in Islamic family education and addresses a recurring gap in prior discussions that often emphasize exemplary conduct as a moral ideal without offering an operational framework that parents can apply in everyday family life. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review, this article synthesizes peer reviewed studies and scholarly sources published between 2016 and 2025 that discuss uswah hasanah, exemplary education, and Islamic family education. The analysis was conducted through close reading and thematic coding to identify recurring concepts, implementation mechanisms, and educational outcomes associated with exemplary education in the family context. The findings indicate that the family as madrasah al ula is a decisive setting for character formation because children internalize values primarily through repeated observation of parental conduct. The synthesis further shows that the implementation of uswah hasanah can be organized into five interrelated dimensions, namely tarbiyah bi al qudwah, tarbiyah bi al adat, tarbiyah bi al mau idzah, tarbiyah bi al mulaahadzah, and tarbiyah bi al uquubah, which together form a coherent sequence from modeling and habituation to guidance, supervision, and responsible discipline. This article contributes a structured conceptual framework that links Islamic educational thought with practical parental strategies for character formation in the home and provides a foundation for future empirical studies across diverse family settings.
