Abstract

Marriage remains a critical institution influencing individual well-being, family stability, and social cohesion, particularly in collectivist contexts where multigenerational households are common. This study aimed to examine how emotional expressivity—both positive and negative—relates to marital satisfaction among Indonesian couples living with parents or in-laws. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational design, data were collected from 67 married individuals through validated Indonesian adaptations of the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction scale and the Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire. Descriptive analyses indicated generally low levels of marital satisfaction, medium to high positive expressivity, and low negative expressivity. Correlation results revealed that positive expressivity was significantly associated with higher marital satisfaction, whereas negative expressivity predicted lower satisfaction, though with varying strength across subgroups. Demographic analyses showed that gender, marital duration, number of children, and income moderated these associations, with positive expressivity particularly salient for women, couples in mid-marriage, and those at or below the minimum wage. These findings align with prior research emphasizing the protective role of positive emotional communication and the risks of negative expression, while extending these insights into the Indonesian cultural context. The study contributes theoretically by integrating cultural and structural moderators into models of marital satisfaction and practically by suggesting that marital counseling and policy initiatives should promote constructive emotional expression to sustain marital stability. Overall, the findings underscore that in multigenerational households, emotional expressivity functions as a key determinant of marital well-being and resilience.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between social support and resilience in individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt and recover from adversity, is critical for psychological well-being, especially in the face of stigma and discrimination commonly experienced by people with HIV/AIDS. The research aims to determine whether social support significantly contributes to enhancing resilience among this population. The study employed a quantitative approach, involving 64 individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Statistical analyses, including Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation and Spearman’s Rho, were conducted to test the hypothesis that higher social support is positively correlated with increased resilience. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between social support and resilience, with a correlation coefficient of 0.511 and a p-value of 0.000. Resilience levels among participants were generally low, with 81.2% categorized as "very low." Social support levels were similarly low, with 51.56% of participants in the "very low" category. Family, friends, and significant others were identified as key sources of social support, contributing 18.9%, 23.8%, and 27.2% to resilience, respectively. The study also found that social support was particularly impactful on aspects of resilience such as persistence and hardiness. The results underscore the importance of social support in fostering resilience among people living with HIV/AIDS. Enhanced social support networks contribute significantly to their psychological adaptation and ability to cope with adversity. Conversely, a lack of support exacerbates vulnerability and diminishes resilience.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental phase characterized by increased vulnerability to emotional and psychological challenges, often leading to decreased subjective well-being. Parenting approaches play a pivotal role in influencing adolescents’ well-being. Strength-based parenting, which focuses on identifying and nurturing children’s strengths, has been identified as a potential driver for enhancing subjective well-being. This study aims to investigate the relationship between strength-based parenting and subjective well-being among high school students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, the research involved 181 students aged 15-18 years. Data were collected through validated scales measuring strength-based parenting and subjective well-being, including the Strength Use Scale and the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). Statistical analysis employed Spearman’s Rho correlation to explore the relationship between the variables. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between strength-based parenting and subjective well-being, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.544 and p = 0.000. Approximately 29.59% of the variance in subjective well-being was attributed to strength-based parenting. Key aspects such as strength knowledge and strength use were identified as significant contributors. Students experiencing higher levels of strength-based parenting reported increased life satisfaction, positive affect, and reduced negative emotions. These findings highlight the critical role of parenting practices in shaping adolescents’ emotional and cognitive evaluations of life. Strength-based parenting not only enhances adolescents’ resilience and coping mechanisms but also contributes to overall life satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of implementing parenting strategies that emphasize the development of children’s strengths to foster holistic well-being. Future research is recommended to explore the longitudinal impacts of strength-based parenting and its interaction with other influencing factors in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Celebrity worship has become increasingly prevalent in the digital age, particularly among young adults engaged in global fan cultures such as K-pop. This study explores how maladaptive daydreaming influences the intensity and nature of celebrity worship among Muslim early adults in Indonesia. The research aims to understand whether immersive and emotionally driven fantasy behaviors contribute to varying levels of celebrity attachment. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 253 participants aged 19 to 35 who identified as active K-pop fans and adherents of Islam. Participants completed two standardized instruments: the Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale and the Celebrity Attitude Scale, which measures three dimensions of celebrity worship—entertainment-social, intense-personal, and borderline-pathological. Statistical analyses included Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression. Findings revealed that maladaptive daydreaming significantly predicts both intense-personal and borderline-pathological celebrity worship, but not the entertainment-social dimension. These results suggest that fantasy-based coping mechanisms are more closely associated with emotionally immersive and obsessive fan behaviors than with social enjoyment of celebrity culture. The data support theoretical models that link maladaptive fantasy to parasocial attachment, highlighting the psychological complexity of media engagement. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on parasocial phenomena by integrating cultural and religious context, demonstrating how internal cognitive processes intersect with modern fan practices. The results underscore the importance of early identification and intervention strategies to mitigate emotional dependency and psychological distress among media consumers, especially in highly immersive digital environments.

Abstract

As global populations age, understanding psychological factors that influence how the elderly cope with mortality becomes increasingly critical. This study investigates the relationship between psychological well-being and death anxiety among older adults residing in nursing homes in Indonesia. The primary objective is to determine whether higher psychological well-being is associated with lower levels of death anxiety in late adulthood, particularly within institutionalized care settings. A total of 109 participants aged 60 and above were recruited from various eldercare institutions across Indonesia. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected through standardized instruments measuring psychological well-being and death anxiety. Statistical analysis employed Spearman’s rho to test the hypothesis due to non-normal data distribution. Findings revealed a significant negative correlation between psychological well-being and death anxiety. Participants with higher levels of well-being—characterized by self-acceptance, life purpose, and emotional resilience—consistently reported lower levels of fear related to death. These results align with existing theories suggesting that psychological resources buffer existential distress. Cultural and spiritual contexts, particularly in Indonesia’s collectivist and religious society, likely enhance this protective effect. The study also highlights the potential influence of gender, health status, and social connectedness as moderating variables. In conclusion, enhancing psychological well-being in institutional settings may serve as a strategic intervention to reduce death anxiety among the elderly. The findings contribute to gerontological psychology by offering culturally grounded insights and suggesting pathways for holistic, mental health-focused elder care.
