Abstract

Late adolescence is marked by increased academic demands, intensified social evaluation, and identity transitions that can trigger general emotional distress or General Psychological Distress (GPD). Perfectionism—particularly maladaptive dimensions such as socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) and evaluative concerns—has been identified as an important risk factor for GPD in high school students. This study aims to examine the effect of perfectionism on GPD in high-achieving high school students in South Sulawesi, with GPD measured using the DASS-42. This study also aims to provide an empirical basis for school-based prevention and intervention strategies. A quantitative survey was conducted on 168 high school/MA students from four schools in South Sulawesi using convenience sampling. Perfectionism was measured using the Indonesian Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and GPD using the DASS-42. The analysis used simple linear regression with a significance level of 5%. The results of the analysis showed a significant regression model, F(1, 166) = 9.89, p = 0.002, with a coefficient of determination R² = 0.056. Perfectionism had a positive and significant effect on GPD (B = 0.43, SE = 0.14, β = 0.24, t = 3.15, p = 0.002). Although the variance contribution was small, the effect was consistent with the literature that perfectionistic concerns are associated with increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in adolescents. Perfectionism is a significant predictor of GPD in top tier high school students, underscoring the urgency of interventions targeting maladaptive components through self-compassion training, cognitive restructuring, and/or enhancing psychological flexibility in schools.

Abstract

Abstrak. Truancy behavior is a serious problem in schools, especially in junior high school students, which can interfere with academic and social development. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-control and truancy behavior, and to test the role of student engagement as a mediator in the relationship. This study uses a quantitative correlational approach with a sample of 207 students from a public junior high school in Makassar selected through the accidental sampling technique. Data were collected using three psychological scales, namely the truancy behavior scale, the self-control scale, and the student engagement scale, which have been tested for validity and reliability. The analysis technique used is path analysis with the help of SPSS and Jamovi software. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant negative relationship between self-control and truancy behavior, and student engagement acts as a mediator in the relationship. This means that students with high self-control tend to have higher levels of learning engagement, which ultimately reduces the tendency for students to skip school. This finding provides important implications for schools and parents to develop intervention programs that can increase students self-control and engagement in order to prevent truancy behavior.
