Abstract

Students today are increasingly exposed to both academic and social pressures that arise from rapid environmental and contextual changes within educational settings. These pressures often create psychological burdens that can manifest in negative emotional states, such as feelings of loneliness, especially when students perceive that they lack sufficient social support to help them adapt and cope with such challenges. Loneliness, in turn, can reduce well-being, hinder social functioning, and negatively affect academic performance. In recent years, with the advancement of digital technology, some students have turned to Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems as an alternative outlet for sharing personal feelings, confiding in AI chatbots when they feel isolated or unsupported. While this may provide temporary relief, the presence of social support from peers, family, and significant others is still considered a crucial protective factor against loneliness. This study was conducted to examine the effect of perceived social support on loneliness among students who reported having previously confided in AI. A quantitative approach was employed, using purposive sampling to target students fitting the criteria. Data were gathered through online questionnaires distributed to 384 respondents from various academic backgrounds. To test the research hypothesis, simple linear regression analysis was performed, enabling the exploration of the direct relationship between perceived social support and loneliness in the context of AI-mediated coping behaviors. The results of the analysis indicated that perceived social support has a negative and significant effect on loneliness among students who have confided in AI. Specifically, perceived social support accounted for 34.3% of the variance in loneliness levels. This finding suggests that when students perceive stronger and more reliable social support, their tendency to experience loneliness decreases, even if they also utilize AI as an outlet for self-disclosure.

Abstract

Indonesian researchers often use translation of a scale before conducting further studies. The process is mainly conducted by back-translation procedures. However, the procedure also has limitations to validate the result; hence, the present study aims try to do an alternative approach to translate the scale, i.e., collaborative/ iterative. By utilizing data from two studies (study 1, 99 respondents; study 2, 124 respondents) on Indonesian students studying outside Indonesia and in Indonesia, the present study uses a T-Test Independent sample to analyze it. The scale is revised of Penn Inventory of Scrupulosity (PIOS-R), which is used to recognize Obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms with a religius theme. As expected, the results show that the scale's translation is not different from the original version; specifically, the PIOS-R score between the two versions of the scale, English and Indonesia, has no statistical difference. The translation process supports the arguments that explain the collaborative/iterative approach is able to provide a good translation.

Abstract

The hedonistic lifestyle has become a growing phenomenon among college students and is characterized by a tendency to pursue pleasure, excessive consumption, and an orientation towards social prestige. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-control and a hedonistic lifestyle among college students in Medan City. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The subjects were active college students in Medan City selected using a purposive sampling technique, with a total of 400 respondents. Data collection was carried out through a digital questionnaire using the Self-Control Scale (27 valid items; α = 0.906) based on Averill's theory and the Hedonic Lifestyle Scale (13 valid items; α = 0.924) based on Kotler and Armstrong's theory. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's Rank correlation. The results showed that the level of self-control of college students was in the high category with an empirical average value of 64.53, while the hedonic lifestyle was in the low category with an empirical average value of 31.38. The results of the correlation test showed a significant negative relationship between self-control and a hedonic lifestyle. This means that the higher a student's ability to control their thoughts, emotions, and behavior, the lower their tendency to adopt a hedonistic lifestyle. This finding demonstrates the importance of strengthening self-control as a preventative measure against the consumerist influences of the social environment and digital media

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted through a seminar entitled “Parent-Child Relationships from a Psychological Perspective”, aimed at enhancing the quality of relationships between parents and their children. The seminar took place at GBKP Runggun Sikeben Congregation, Tanah Karo, and was attended by parents along with their adolescent and adult children. Communication problems, perception gaps, and a lack of understanding of children’s personalities and developmental stages often trigger conflicts within families. This seminar offered a psychological approach to building healthy relationships, emphasizing the importance of two-way communication, empathy, and an understanding of personal characteristics and human developmental stages—from early childhood to adulthood. The seminar was delivered in an interactive and reflective manner. The outcomes showed that participants gained new insights into the role of parents as companions to their children and recognized the need to establish open and empathetic communication within the family. This activity positively contributed to increasing psychological awareness in parenting practices and opened opportunities for further collaboration in fostering harmonious family relationships.
