Abstract

Late adolescence is marked by increased academic demands, intensified social evaluation, and identity transitions that can trigger general emotional distress or General Psychological Distress (GPD). Perfectionism—particularly maladaptive dimensions such as socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) and evaluative concerns—has been identified as an important risk factor for GPD in high school students. This study aims to examine the effect of perfectionism on GPD in high-achieving high school students in South Sulawesi, with GPD measured using the DASS-42. This study also aims to provide an empirical basis for school-based prevention and intervention strategies. A quantitative survey was conducted on 168 high school/MA students from four schools in South Sulawesi using convenience sampling. Perfectionism was measured using the Indonesian Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and GPD using the DASS-42. The analysis used simple linear regression with a significance level of 5%. The results of the analysis showed a significant regression model, F(1, 166) = 9.89, p = 0.002, with a coefficient of determination R² = 0.056. Perfectionism had a positive and significant effect on GPD (B = 0.43, SE = 0.14, β = 0.24, t = 3.15, p = 0.002). Although the variance contribution was small, the effect was consistent with the literature that perfectionistic concerns are associated with increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in adolescents. Perfectionism is a significant predictor of GPD in top tier high school students, underscoring the urgency of interventions targeting maladaptive components through self-compassion training, cognitive restructuring, and/or enhancing psychological flexibility in schools.

Abstract

Deaf individuals are a group with unique communication needs who often face challenges in understanding themselves and their psychological aspects. Access to knowledge about emotion regulation remains very limited for the Deaf community, primarily because mental health information is generally delivered verbally and rarely involves sign language interpreters. This community service program was designed to foster positive character and support the mental health of the Deaf community in Makassar City through a psychoeducational activity. The psychoeducational activity was delivered through a lecture, supported by PowerPoint visuals and Sign Language to ensure accessible communication for Deaf participants. The program was evaluated using digital pre-tests and post-tests administered via Google Forms. Analysis of data from 31 participants using a paired-samples t-test showed a significant difference (p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating an increase in understanding of emotion regulation following the psychoeducation.
