Abstract

Various challenges faced by students from other regions can reduce their level of well-being. In this study, we considered stress as a risk factor and social support as a protective factor for subjective well-being. The relationship between social support and stress on the subjective well-being of students living away from home can be facilitated by other variables, one of which is grit. This study examined how grit acts as a mediator in the relationship between social support and stress, influencing the subjective well-being of students living away from home. This study employed a non-random, purposive sampling technique, which enabled the successful analysis of 262 data points. The analysis included tests of normality and multicollinearity assumptions, as well as mediation hypothesis testing with 5,000 bootstrapping resamples. Results showed that subjective well-being is positively correlated with social support and grit, and negatively correlated with stress. Furthermore, grit can mediate the influence of social support and stress on subjective well-being. These results have important implications for students' stress management and interpersonal relationship maintenance. Institutions can support student well-being by creating collaborative learning environments. Recommendations for further research are offered, including increasing sample size, involving more diverse demographics, and incorporating other psychological variables to clarify and increase the complexity of this model. In addition, Islamic-based research can integrate models with Islamic psychological variables, such as istiqamah and sa'adah.

Abstract

The increased use of digital devices among elementary school children often results in decreased direct interaction, collaborative skills, and emotional regulation abilities. Kampung Lali Gadget (KLG or a Gadget-Free Community), a community-based community in Sidoarjo, presents a form of non-formal education through traditional game activities integrated with the values of collaboration, empathy, and social communication. This study aims to understand in depth the role of the KLG community in shaping and strengthening the social skills of elementary school-aged children. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through participant observation during traditional game sessions, in-depth interviews with children, parents, facilitators, and community leaders, and documentation of activities. Data analysis was conducted using thematic techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, as well as triangulation of sources and methods to maintain validity. The results of the study indicate that children's involvement in KLG activities facilitates meaningful social learning processes: children become more skilled at communicating, showing empathy, collaborating, following rules, and managing emotions in group interactions. The role of community facilitators using a reflective and collaborative approach proved crucial in creating a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable learning environment. Furthermore, parental participation and local community support contributed to the program's sustainability. This study concludes that KLG functions as a culturally based communal learning space that is effective in improving the social skills of elementary school children.
