Abstract

Marriage readiness is an important developmental aspect among university students, encompassing emotional and social maturity as well as the ability to perform marital roles. However, psychometrically sound instruments for measuring marriage readiness remain limited, particularly within the Indonesian guidance and counseling context. This study aimed to validate the Marriage Readiness instrument for university students using the Rasch Measurement Model to determine its feasibility as a psychological assessment tool. A quantitative approach was employed involving 217 students and 40 instrument items analyzed using Winsteps version 4.4.5. The analysis included person and item reliability, item fit, unidimensionality, and mapping of respondents’ abilities and item difficulty through the Wright map. The results indicated good psychometric quality, with person reliability of 0.92 and item reliability of 0.95. Most items met the Rasch model criteria, although several misfitting items were identified and required revision. Unidimensionality analysis showed that the instrument consistently measured a single underlying construct, with a raw variance explained by measures of 40.9%. The Wright map demonstrated an appropriate alignment between item difficulty and respondent characteristics. Therefore, the Marriage Readiness instrument is feasible for use as an assessment tool in guidance and counseling services to identify university students’ level of marriage readiness.

Abstract

Learning in the era of society 5.0 is oriented towards the character and ability of students to behave prosocially amid technological convenience. However, many students are not fully able to integrate cognitive abilities and empathy in social interactions. This research aims to formulate the dimensions of cognitive empathy that support learning success in the 5.0 era, as well as identify relevant guidance activities in the development of cognitive empathy. The research method employed a Systematic Literature Review of 8 Scopus articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study reveal the dimensions of cognitive empathy that are crucial for learning success in the 5.0 era, namely perspective-taking, contextual understanding, rational and ethical thinking, and human-centered problem-solving. Alternative guidance can use narrative media, technology-based interactive simulations (including AI), and design thinking training, all of which focus on developing pro-social perspectives and actions.

Abstract

The low level of academic hardiness among junior high school students in coping with academic pressure indicates the need for interventions that can strengthen students’ resilience in academic settings. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group guidance services using role-playing techniques in improving students’ academic hardiness. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The participants consisted of 8 students selected based on their academic hardiness levels. Data were collected using an Academic Hardiness Scale developed based on Kobasa’s theory, encompassing the dimensions of commitment, control, and challenge. The instrument was tested using the Rasch model and demonstrated good measurement quality, with person reliability of .90, item reliability of .99, and Cronbach’s Alpha of .92. Group guidance services using role-playing techniques were conducted in four sessions to strengthen students’ commitment, control, and challenge in dealing with academic demands. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and a paired sample t-test. The findings indicated that group guidance services using role-playing techniques were effective in improving students’ academic hardiness. These findings suggest that role-playing can be implemented as a practical strategy in group guidance services to help students strengthen resilience, maintain learning commitment, and cope more effectively with academic pressure.

Abstract

Decision-making skills are essential life skills that need to be developed from an early age, as they contribute to children’s independence, self-confidence, and critical thinking abilities. The development of these skills is strongly influenced by parenting styles, particularly strict parents or authoritarian parenting, which is characterized by high control and limited child participation. This study aims to comprehensively examine children’s decision-making skills from the perspective of strict parents using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Relevant peer-reviewed articles published over the last ten years were systematically selected and analyzed following the PRISMA guidelines and thematic synthesis techniques. The findings indicate that authoritarian parenting tends to have a negative impact on children’s decision-making skills, particularly in terms of autonomy, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. Although parental strictness may provide behavioral structure, its positive effects are limited unless accompanied by open communication and emotional support. This study highlights the importance of balancing parental control and autonomy support to foster optimal development of children’s decision-making skills across developmental stages
