Abstract

Building healthy romantic relationships is a critical developmental task during emerging adulthood as it contributes to higher psychological well-being. However, the instability and uncertainty that often characterize this period can hinder emerging adults from forming healthy romantic relationships.  It has been found that self-concept is a key factor in building healthy romantic relationships, as a strong self-concept supports more positive outcomes in romantic relationships. However, much of the existing training only focuses on sexual health education and dating violence. In addition, the majority of emerging adults report that they have not received the relationship education they desire or require, whether from their families or educational institutions. To fill the gap in knowledge about this topic, this study focuses on enhancing self-concept through healthy romantic relationship training. This study hypothesized that participants who completed the training would report higher mean self-concept and healthy romantic relationship knowledge scores. This quasi-experimental study, employing one group pre-test and post-test design, involved 13 participants (M = 21.8, SD = 2.1). The instruments used to measure the variables were the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale Second Version Short Form (TSCS:2 SF) and the Healthy Romantic Relationship Knowledge Questionnaire. Qualitative data were also derived to support the quantitative data. Quantitative analysis using ANOVA Repeated Measures and thematic qualitative analysis showed that healthy romantic relationship training significantly enhanced self-concept in emerging adults. The research implications highlight the significance of providing training on healthy romantic relationship for emerging adults, emphasizing the need to focus on self-concept which can contribute to higher romantic relationship quality.

Abstract

A first-time father faces numerous problems when his first child is born, including feelings of powerlessness, anxiety, and frustration. This depression will have a detrimental impact on both children's development, marital satisfaction, and family well-being. The stages of writing a narrative literature review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) phases start from 1) selecting a review topic, 2) searching the literature, 3) collecting, reading, and analysing the literature, 4) writing the review, and 5) writing the reference list. This review included 13 research articles that fit the required inclusion criteria, i.e., articles on father participation, first-time father participants, and papers published between 2019 and 2024 retrieved from the Scopus database, Taylor & Francis Online, ProQuest, Sage Journals, and the Sinta platform from the Ministry of Education and Culture. We do not screen proceedings papers that are not peer-reviewed or published outside of 2019 and 2024. We excluded news pieces, literature reviews, book reviews, and popular articles from empirical or primary studies. Findings from this research review identified a range of factors associated with father involvement: 1) transition process, 2) emotional state, 3) self-efficacy, 4) depression, 5) social support, 6) role challenges, and 7) demographic characteristic. This study reveals that seven factors influence father involvement in infant care and have implications for counselling practice, e.g., PUSPAGA (Pusat Pembelajaran Keluarga or Family Learning Centre).  The majority of studies examined have concentrated on populations from Western cultures, with little consideration given to non-Western cultures, this study only addressing some Asian (e.g., Chinese, Thai, Korean, and Singaporean) and African cultures. Therefore, it is important to understand how different cultures influence father involvement, as the responses of fathers in a particular culture to their parental role cannot be generalised to all fathers from that cultural background.
