Abstract

This research was motivated by the increasing incidence of cheating behavior among students, particularly at State Senior High School at Tasikmalaya City, which reflects a low awareness of academic integrity. Cheating behavior can be influenced by various factors, such as academic pressure, peer influence, low self-confidence, weak supervision, and a lack of ethical reinforcement within the school environment. The purpose of this study was to provide a general description of students’ cheating behavior in terms of rationalization, pressure, and opportunity.This study employed a descriptive quantitative method using a questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The results showed that most students at Tasikmalaya City demonstrated a moderate level of cheating behavior. Students in the moderate category tended to rationalize their actions as a response to academic pressure, while those in the high category exhibited openness to cheating opportunities without considering ethical aspects. On the other hand, students in the low category demonstrated awareness of the importance of academic honesty. A total of 333 students participated in this study. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for schools—especially for guidance and counseling services—in designing preventive and intervention strategies to address cheating behavior that threatens academic integrity and educational quality

Abstract

Grief is an emotional experience that arises from significant loss and can affect the psychological well-being of adolescents, particularly those living in orphanages. In this context, mental toughness serves as a protective factor that plays an important role in helping adolescents manage emotional stress and adapt to challenging situations. This study aims to analyze the correlation between grief levels measured using the Prolonged Grief Disorder Revised (PGD-R13) and mental toughness measured using the Mental Toughness Scale (SKM-24) among orphanage adolescents. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The findings indicate that a portion of the adolescents fell into the normal grief category, while others showed symptoms of syndromal grief and prolonged grief. Regarding mental toughness, most adolescents were in the moderate category, although a significant proportion scored low on the control and confidence dimensions. Correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between grief levels and mental toughness, indicating that the higher the grief symptoms experienced by the adolescents, the lower their level of mental toughness. These findings suggest that experiences of loss and instability in caregiving environments influence adolescents’ ability to manage psychological distress and maintain adaptive functioning. This study highlights the importance of interventions focused on strengthening emotion regulation, enhancing self-confidence, and providing psychological support to help orphanage adolescents cope with grief while improving their mental toughness.
