Abstract

Abstract: Generation Z faces an unprecedented mental health paradox: despite high digital connectivity, they report record levels of stress and declining subjective well-being (SWB). While the link between SWB and stress reduction is well-documented, the social moderators that facilitate this relationship remain under-explored. This study examines the moderating role of trust in the SWB-stress nexus among 267 undergraduate digital natives. Using moderation regression analysis, we demonstrate that trust serves as a critical protective amplifier. Our findings reveal that higher levels of trust significantly enhance the efficacy of SWB in mitigating stress, whereas low trust diminishes this protective effect. This suggests that interpersonal reliability is a prerequisite for psychological resilience in Gen Z. These results advocate for a shift in mental health interventions from purely individualistic self-care to the cultivation of social cohesion and trust-building within educational and social institutions Keywords: generation z, stress, subjective well being, trust

Abstract

The social stigma surrounding mental disorders in Javanese culture is a major barrier preventing sufferers from accessing professional healthcare services. This study aims to explore the deeper meaning behind this stigma and examine the process by which it forms within the values of Javanese society. The research method used was qualitative, employing a phenomenological approach. Participants consisted of three Javanese individuals living in a Javanese cultural environment, selected using purposeful sampling with specific criteria (criterion sampling). Data analysis was conducted systematically using thematic analysis. The results indicate that the meaning of stigma in Javanese culture is deeply rooted in mystical and spiritual interpretations, where mental disorders are considered the result of supernatural interference, karma, or lack of worship. Stigma is formed through a process involving family neglect, cultural assessments of abnormality, and a lack of medical understanding, leading to negative labeling such as bento or gendeng (terms used to describe someone as mentally unwell) and acts of discrimination. This study recommends the implementation of sociocultural-based mental health interventions involving community and religious leaders. Further research should be expanded to include participants across generations to obtain a broader picture of this reality.
