Abstract

Pace of life has been found to be associated with various life outcomes such as mental health and well-being to information distribution and economic development. Every city has a different pace of life due to its specific characteristics. Across two studies, we examined the role of temperature and number of populations (city size) as the predictors of pace of life. In the first study, we compared Bandung and Jakarta and in the second study, we compared Jakarta and Depok. Each pace of life index was generated by mean scores of walking speed, working speed and clock accuracy. Through field observation in each city's Central Business District, we found that based on temperature, Jakarta has higher means of walking speed (M=15.3) compared to Bandung (M=13.6), significantly with mean difference 1.71 (t(158)=5.32, p<.001, d=0.841). Jakarta is also significantly higher on the working speed indicator (M=25.7) compared to Bandung (M=17.5) with mean difference 8.22 (t(18)=2.49, p=.011). In the second study, we found that  Jakarta has significantly lower means of walking speed (M=14.3) compared to Depok (M=17.9) with mean difference 3.54, t(158)=11.058, p<.001. Similarly, Jakarta also has lower means of working speed (M=18.58) and clock accuracy (M=1.33) compared to Depok (M working speed=19.9, M clock accuracy=3.67), although not significant.  Overall, as predicted, based on temperature, the colder city Bandung has a faster pace of life compared to Jakarta. Jakarta also has a faster pace of life compared to Bandung, although significant only for its walking speed.

Abstract

Marriage readiness is considered an important issue to be studied. The high rates of marital problems which impact social issues have been attributed to the lack of marriage readiness. Number of studies have tried to define and explain marriage readiness indices. However, there are various limitations due to how this concept is very much influenced by cultural factors, as is the case in Indonesia which is famous for its variety of cultures in every region. This study was conducted to make a comparison between perceived marriage readiness between Javanese people, as the representation of the largest population in Indonesia and regions outside Java as the comparison group. Data was collected using open-ended surveys with 207 participants coming from all over Indonesia. The results were analyzed using thematic coding which describes marriage readiness factors and personal perception of marriage readiness among Indonesians. Implications for this study are discussed, especially for evaluation and development of existing marital guidance programs in Indonesia.

Abstract

Relationships are a fundamental feature of human life, making the study of relationships a crucial point in psychology, including within the context of schools. In addition to being a place of learning for students, schools serve as a workplace where teachers establish and maintain relationships. However, the majority of research conducted in schools still focuses only on student-student and teacher-student relationships. Moreover, there is limited specific research examining the importance of the quality of interpersonal relationships among teachers. This quantitative survey study aims to investigate the role of teacher-student interpersonal relationship quality as a predictor of Well-Being within the PERMA framework, encompassing Positive Emotion, Work Engagement, Meaning in Life, and Innovative Work Behavior among teachers in schools. Data were collected through offline and online surveys involving 455 teachers in public schools in Yogyakarta. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the model of interpersonal relationships among fellow teachers. The model testing indicated a good fit with the indices: χ2(35, N=455) = 132; p<0.001; CFI = 0.977; SRMR = 0.041; RMSEA = 0.073, meeting the criteria set by Hair, Black, Babin, & Anderson (2019). Furthermore, overall, the quality of teacher-student interpersonal relationships significantly predicted the elements of psychological well-being, including affect (β = 0.631; p < 0.001), meaning in life (β = 0.549, p < 0.001), work engagement (β = 0.489; p < 0.001), and innovative work behavior among teachers in schools (β = 0.354; p < 0.001).

Abstract

The minimalist lifestyle has gained popularity among the public due to its widespread information across various platforms. Minimalism, a way for individuals to live their lives simply, orderly, and elegantly, is closely related to their psychological well-being. This study aims to explore the reasons, processes, and benefits of psychological well-being associated with a minimalist lifestyle. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method and involves four minimalist individuals (over 24 years old) from different regions of Indonesia. Data collection involved interviews and literature review. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The study results indicate that participants perceived minimalism as a lifestyle focused on simplicity, minimizing various aspects of life, and making the most of it. Participants reported experiencing improved well-being after embracing a minimalist lifestyle, including greater self-acceptance, positive relationship quality, self-autonomy personal growth, environmental mastery, and life goals.
