Abstract

Social interaction in education, especially among peers, plays an important role in shaping students' academic behaviour. One interesting phenomenon in educational psychology studies is the peer contagion effect, which is the tendency of individuals to imitate or adjust their behaviour to their peer group, both positively and negatively. This effect is particularly influential during adolescence, when self-discovery and social pressure are dominant factors in shaping behaviour, including in an academic context. This study aims to determine the influence of peer contagion effects on the academic behaviour of Year 9 students at SMP Negeri 1 Pekalongan in the 2024/2025 academic year. The phenomena observed include the use of foul language, difficulty concentrating on studying due to peer influence, and the emergence of stress and depression in the learning process. From a Buddhist perspective, ethical behaviour such as sammā-vācā (right speech) and sammā-kammanta (right action) are important foundations in character building and learning discipline. The results of this study are expected to contribute theoretically to the development of educational science and provide practical benefits for teachers, students, parents, and educational institutions in overcoming the negative effects of peer influence. This study also highlights the importance of strengthening moral and ethical values through Buddhist-based character education as a preventive measure against deviant behaviour in the school environment. By integrating ethical values into the curriculum, it is hoped that students will be better able to cope with peer pressure and develop positive academic behaviour. In addition, this approach can also create a more supportive learning environment where students can be inspired to achieve better results.

Abstract

Buddhist students in Bandar Lampung face academic pressure that can trigger burnout and insecurity about their academic abilities. This study aims to determine the significant influence between burnout and emotional intelligence on academic insecurity among Buddhist students in Bandar Lampung. This study uses a survey method with a quantitative approach. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The research population includes 291 students, and the sample is taken using the Solvin formula and the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for Windows version 27. The results showed a positive and significant influence between burnout and emotional intelligence on academic insecurity among Buddhist students in Bandar Lampung. In this study, burnout influenced academic insecurity. Emotional intelligence also influenced academic insecurity. Simultaneously, burnout and emotional intelligence together influenced academic insecurity. Thus, the higher the level of Burnout, the higher the level of Academic Insecurity experienced by Buddhist students in Bandar Lampung. The findings indicate the importance of strengthening emotional aspects and the need to develop emotional intelligence-based guidance and counseling programs as well as stress management training on campus. These can be used as preventive strategies against the negative effects of Burnout, especially in the context of Buddhist education. The implication of this study is that the influence of Burnout and Emotional Intelligence on Academic Insecurity reinforces the theory that academic fatigue can reduce students' confidence in facing academic demands. Conversely, high Emotional Intelligence has been proven to reduce the level of Academic Insecurity, which is in line with the theory of emotional intelligence which states that an individual's ability to manage emotions can increase resilience to academic pressure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the influence of Puja Bhakti on the religious motivation of students at Ekayana Dharma Budhi Bhakti Junior High School, North Jakarta. Puja Bhakti is believed to cultivate a disciplined mind capable of developing kindness and wisdom, thereby reducing the tendency for regret. Religious motivation is understood as an internal drive that compels individuals to practice religious teachings not only on a cognitive level but also through real-life application. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method, with questionnaires distributed to a sample of students as the primary instrument for data collection. Data were analysed using regression analysis to determine the extent to which participation in Puja Bhakti influences students' religious motivation. The findings reveal that students' engagement in Puja Bhakti falls into a high category, with a participation rate of 74.7%. The results indicate a significant positive influence of Puja Bhakti on students' religious motivation. This suggests that active participation in Puja Bhakti can substantially enhance students' commitment to practising their faith. The novelty of this research lies in its focused exploration of the relationship between Puja Bhakti and the development of religious motivation, distinguishing it from prior studies. Consequently, this study contributes meaningfully to the field of religious education by emphasising the role of structured ritual practices in nurturing students' spiritual growth. Moreover, the findings underscore the importance of ritual worship as a practical and experiential strategy for schools to instil religious values effectively within the learning environment.
