Abstract

Subjective well-being is an important indicator of individuals’ quality of life, and social support is often considered a contributing factor in enhancing it. However, empirical findings regarding the relationship between these variables remain inconsistent. Therefore, this study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between social support and subjective well-being using a meta-analytic approach.This study employed a meta-analysis method by integrating six empirical studies obtained from the Scopus database within the 2020–2026 period, with a total sample of 3,087 participants. The analysis was conducted using a random-effects model with the assistance of JASP software. All effect sizes were transformed into Fisher’s Z to improve variance stability. The results indicate that the relationship between social support and subjective well-being tends to be positive but weak and statistically non-significant (pooled effect = 0.137; p > 0.05). In addition, a very high level of heterogeneity was found (Q = 565.92; p < 0.001; τ² = 0.237), along with a wide prediction interval, indicating instability of effects across studies. Variations in the direction of relationships, including negative effects in some studies, suggest that social support does not consistently function as a protective factor for subjective well-being.

Abstract

The transition to college is a very challenging phase for new students, especially for students in boarding schools where academic and social demands occur simultaneously. This study aims to obtain an overview of the adjustment process of new students, identify the most challenging dimensions of adjustment, and determine the factors that support new students' adjustment efforts. The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method on four first-year students at Semarang X Boarding School (MWM, BJP, NA, and BS). Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and observations, then the data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results of the study indicate that the four participants were able to adjust well. The adjustments that were perceived as the most challenging were academic adjustment. Support from parents, friends, and caregivers, involvement in campus activities, and time management skills were supporting factors for the success of the students' adjustment process. The results of this study strengthen previous studies on the importance of social support and the role of institutions in the adjustment process of new students and provide recommendations for the development of new student orientation programs in boarding schools.

Abstract

As the foundation for lifelong learning, independent learning is an important psychological skill that must be developed from elementary school. The internal component of self-efficacy is crucial for enhancing independent learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how self-efficacy influences elementary school students' ability to learn independently. A total of 87 fifth-grade students selected from the overall sample were included in a quantitative correlational design. Validated measures of independent learning and self-efficacy were used to collect data. Independent learning and self-efficacy were found to be significantly positively correlated based on Pearson correlation analysis (r = 0.523, p < 0.01). Simple linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy explained 27.4% of the variation in independent learning (R2 = 0.274). These findings indicate that students with higher self-efficacy tend to demonstrate greater ability to manage and regulate their learning independently. The study highlights the importance of strengthening self-efficacy as a psychological foundation for promoting learning independence from an early educational stage
