Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership styles applied in pesantren on the implementation of a culture of discipline among santri (pesantren students) and the challenges faced by pesantren in maintaining a culture of discipline amid social and technological developments. Pesantren as religious educational institutions have characteristics that prioritize discipline as a basic value. The leadership style applied by the pesantren leader, whether authoritarian or democratic, can influence the extent to which discipline is applied in the life of the santri. However, increasingly open social change and the rapid development of technology, especially in terms of the use of social media, are a major challenge to maintaining a culture of discipline. The uncontrolled use of technology often disrupts the concentration and focus of santri, while changes in the mindset of the younger generation, who are more open to freedom, also risk reducing the level of discipline. This study shows that pesantren must be able to adapt their leadership style to the times, without sacrificing the values of discipline that have long been the basis of pesantren life. Therefore, a more flexible approach is needed to manage technology and foster relationships between pesantren leaders and students. In conclusion, discipline management in pesantren requires a balance between firmness and an approach that prioritizes humanitarian values and adaptation to the challenges of the times.

Abstract

Life crises represent a universal phenomenon that challenges individuals’ adaptive capacities, often resulting in heightened psychological distress. The family serves as a primary source of support; however, the effectiveness of such support is highly contingent upon the congruence between the type of assistance provided and the individual's psychological needs. This review aims to explore how the quality of familial support influences an individual’s ability to manage stress, and how misalignment between the form of support and the nature of the crisis may exacerbate psychological vulnerability. Employing a literature review approach, this study analyzes a range of relevant publications. The findings show that appropriately aligned emotional support can enhance emotional regulation, increase perceived control, and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety. On the other hand, unhelpful support, such as overprotection, excessive instruction, or insufficient validation, may increase psychological burden through mechanisms including emotional alienation, internalization of stigma, disrupted emotional regulation, and the emergence of learned helplessness. Mismatched support also gives rise to intrapersonal and interpersonal conflict, impairs physiological functioning, and decreases long-term resilience. Moreover, familial support demonstrates dual potential, it can serve as either a protective or maladaptive factor, depending on how suitable the support is. This review underscores the critical importance of a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of family support in the context of life crises. Familial sensitivity to emotional needs and variations in crisis types constitutes a crucial component in safeguarding individual psychological well-being
