Abstract

Underage marriage (UM) has increased globally, including in Indonesia. This was triggered by changes in the Marriage Law (UU) which increased the minimum age for women to marry from 16 to 19 years old and was followed by the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study examines the psychological dynamics of society related to changes in the minimum age limit for marriage from the perspective of Religious Court judges in Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative approach was used by conducting semi-structured interviews with 20 judges from 16 Religious Courts in Indonesia who handle marriage dispensation cases. This process was followed by data collation, coding, classification, and analysed by the deductive thematic technique. As a result, participants conveyed the background of the age limit change and the public's reaction after the change. Some participants stated that the age limit change is not the authority of the court or judge. Some others said that the increase in the minimum age limit for marriage was carried out based on the risks behind underage marriage. These risks are psychological factors, reducing the number of UM cases, preventing divorce, gender equality, and reasons for education, work, and physical condition. Public showed various responses; obeying the rules, not knowing about the regulatory changes, and being against it. Basically, the new Marriage Law seeks to stop the UM trend. The government needs to conduct socialization about the age limit change and the risks of UM. Cooperation from various parties is also needed, especially from parents who need to pay more attention to their children.

Abstract

One of the developmental tasks a child should complete is to concentrate.  However, some children failed to concentrate, causing difficulty in processing the stimulus thoroughly. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of deep breathing techniques in improving children’s concentration. Applying the pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental method, this study involved sixteen students who were assigned into experimental (n=9) and control (n=7) groups.     Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using digit span and analyzed using Mann-Whitney U. The study result showed that the deep breathing technique was effective in improving children’s concentration.   Thus, school counselors are recommended to optimize deep breathing techniques to improve their concentration.

Abstract

College readiness refers to students' ability to successfully transition to higher education without requiring remedial coursework. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new policies in the education sector, particularly the widespread implementation of online learning across all educational levels. This shift has led to limited interaction between students and teachers, negatively affecting students' college readiness. This study aims to investigate the relationship between academic motivation and social support on college readiness in the post-COVID-19 context. A total of 294 respondents participated in this study by completing a questionnaire. The instruments used include the CAYCI Career and College Readiness Scale, the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Data were analyzed using linear regression with JAMOVI software version 2.5.3. The results show a significant relationship between academic motivation and social support with college readiness (p 0.001). Consequently, the null hypothesis is rejected. To promote optimal college readiness, it is recommended that schools implement specialized programs focused on college preparation, such as regular academic tutoring, independent learning skills training, and mentoring activities can be implemented as external support mechanisms to strengthen students’ college readiness. Future research should also examine additional factors influencing college readiness among students.

Abstract

The state guarantees freedom of religious expression for all its citizens, regardless of their beliefs. However, during the New Order era, this freedom was paradoxically curtailed, particularly for individuals of Chinese descent. Chinese Indonesians were prohibited from openly expressing their Chinese identity, including through religious affiliation. They were compelled to reidentify their religion under one of the five officially recognized religions at the time. When it comes to marriage registration, many individuals converted to one of these state-recognized religions. This article sheds light on the extent to which faith and love are intertwined in the phenomenon of religious conversion to Islam in Belitung. Employing a snowball sampling method, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 ethnic Chinese individuals from Belitung, aged between 30 and 63 years. These informants were Chinese Indonesians who converted to Islam following the legalization of Confucianism. The results reveal that marriage functioned as a pivotal factor in the religious conversion process among ethnic Chinese in Belitung, serving not as the initial impetus but rather as the culmination of an extended period of religious exploration. Male participants frequently reported earlier exposure to Islamic education and social environments, indicative of a phase characterized by exploration and engagement prior to formalizing their religious commitment through marriage. Conversely, female participants appeared to be more profoundly influenced by cultural norms emphasizing spousal loyalty and the legal-religious frameworks governing marriage in Indonesia. Negara menjamin ekspresi keagamaan setiap warga negara, apapun keyakinannya. Paradoksnya, kebebasan beragama di Era Orde Baru dibatasi, khususnya kepada keturunan Tionghoa. Orang Tionghoa tidak diperbolehkan untuk mengekspresikan ketionghoaan mereka dalam bentuk apapun, termasuk agama. Mereka harus mengidentifikasi kembali agama mereka menjadi salah satu dari lima agama resmi pada saat itu. Untuk memudahkan proses administrasi, salah satunya perkawinan, mereka mengonversi agama menjadi salah satu agama yang diakui negara. Artikel ini menyoroti sejauh mana keyakinan dan cinta saling berkaitan dalam pengalaman konversi agama ke Islam para etnis Tionghoa di Belitung. Dengan menggunakan teknik sampeling bola salju, kami melakukan wawancara individu semi terstruktur dengan 15 etnis Tionghoa Belitung yang berusia 30 hingga 63 tahun. Narasumber adalah orang Tionghoa yang memilih untuk melakukan konversi agama ke Islam, setelah disahkannya Konfusianisme. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pernikahan memainkan peran yang menentukan dalam konversi agama etnis Tionghoa di Belitung, bukan sebagai penyebab utama tetapi sebagai puncak komitmen dalam proses eksplorasi agama yang lebih panjang. Peserta laki-laki sering mengalami paparan lebih awal terhadap pendidikan Islam dan lingkungan sosial, mencerminkan tahap pencarian dan pertemuan sebelum mengukuhkan komitmen mereka melalui pernikahan. Sebaliknya, peserta perempuan lebih kuat dipengaruhi oleh ekspektasi budaya akan kesetiaan kepada suami dan kerangka hukum-agama pernikahan di Indonesia.
