Abstract

Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder experience psychological pressure, which can affect their psychological well-being. This study aims to identify the personality traits which influence such well-being. A quantitative method was employed, involving 213 Indonesian participants who were caregivers of children with autism attending special schools or enrolled at specialized therapy centers, selected through purposive sampling. The personality traits were measured using the IPIP-BFM-25 scale, while psychological well-being was assessed using the Psychological Well-Being Scale. The data were analyzed using the PLS-SEM method with SMART PLS 3.0 software, employing the disjoint two-stage estimation approach. The results show that the traits of extroversion (β = 0.222, t = 2.249, p = .021); conscientiousness (β = 0.258, t = 2.782, p = .003); and emotional stability (β = 0.302, t = 4.371, p = .000) positively affected the caregivers’ psychological well-being. However, those of agree­ableness and intellect did not have a significant impact. It is hoped that the study findings will contribute to the efforts to enhance the mental health of caregivers of children with autism.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between empathy and the bystander effect among adolescents. The increasing prevalence of passive observer behavior, particularly in emergency or distressing situations involving youth, underscores the importance of examining psychological factors such as empathy. Using a quantitative correlational design, this study collected data from 320 adolescents aged 15–21 in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Participants completed standardized Likert-scale questionnaires measuring empathy and bystander effect tendencies. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between empathy and the bystander effect. Specifically, higher levels of empathy are associated with a lower tendency to engage in passive bystander behavior. These results support theoretical perspectives that emphasize the emotional and cognitive dimensions of empathy as crucial mechanisms in promoting prosocial action. The study suggests that enhancing empathy through targeted interventions could reduce passive behaviors in emergency situations and promote greater social responsibility among adolescents. Beyond statistical findings, this study has clear implications for character education and school-based interventions. Educators can integrate empathy-building activities into the curriculum through narrative exercises, role-play, and collaborative discussions that help students articulate moral reasoning. Teachers play a vital role in reshaping discourse patterns by encouraging students to critically examine common justifications for inaction, such as “someone else will help” or “I didn’t want to stand out.” By fostering reflective language and scenario-based discussions, schools can cultivate not only emotional competence but also discursive awareness that promotes social responsibility and civic courage among youth.
