Abstract

Indonesia is a nation marked by extensive diversity encompassing a myriad of languages, ethnicities, and religious affiliations. While some studies support the positive implications associated with this diversity, others argue that it harbors the potential for social discord, particularly within distinct religious communities. This research aims to scrutinize the dynamics of mature religious sentiment and Islamic knowledge concerning Muslim-Christian relations, specifically exploring their impact on social prejudice among Muslim students, who constitute the majority and hold prejudicial views towards Christians. The investigation was conducted among Muslim students aged 18-22 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (N = 254). Employing the structural equation model (SEM) technique for analysis, the findings reveal that mature religious sentiment exerts a direct influence on social prejudice, both independently and mediated through the agreeableness trait. Additionally, Islamic knowledge pertaining to the Muslim-Christian relationship directly influences social prejudice without the intermediary of agreeableness.

Abstract

This study inquires the roles of muthmainnah personality and alexithymia in mediating the COVID-19 exposure to mental health problems in Indonesian university students quarantined at home during COVID-19. A total of 276 students completed the following scales: Islamic Personality Scale, Toronto Alexithymia-20 Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Then, an examination on some possible relationships of obtained data was performed by structural equation modeling and mediation analysis. This study revealed that students with muthmainnah personality had lower levels of depression. Furthermore, the muthmainnah personality could mediate COVID-19 exposure to depression experienced by the students. In addition, this study revealed that students with probable depression had more severe alexithymia, such as difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty describing feelings, and externally oriented thinking. The alexithymia could mediate COVID-19 exposure to depression. These results implied that religious aspects could be utilized as strategies to determine and overcome the students' emotions and could significantly avoid or moderate mental health problems in the case of depression associated with COVID-19.
