Abstract

Rising relationship ambiguity challenges commitment stability during emerging adulthood. This cross-sectional correlational study examines the predictive role of disorganised attachment and quality of alternatives on romantic commitment. The participants included 215 emerging adults (aged 18–29) in heterosexual dating relationships, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Adult Disorganised Attachment scale and the Investment Model scale. All procedures were conducted in accordance with ethical standards. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression with robust standard errors. The results indicated that both predictors simultaneously predicted commitment (R2 = 0.38). Partial analysis revealed that the quality of alternatives (β = -0.52) had a dominant negative prediction on commitment compared to disorganised attachment (β = -0.20). Findings suggest that perceived attractive alternatives significantly undermine commitment stability. This highlights the need for counselling interventions addressing attention to alternatives to enhance relationship stability.

Abstract

Pemalang Regency continues to record a significant number of cases of violence against women and children, with 62 cases reported by the end of 2024. The main challenges include the limited skills of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) cadres in handling cases of violence, the lack of ongoing training, and the need for effective violence prevention strategies. To support the initiative of making Pemalang a Child-Friendly District (KLA), it is essential to strengthen the capacity of PPPA cadres so they can respond more effectively to victims of violence. This community service program offers a solution through Psychological First Aid (PFA) psychoeducation for PPPA cadres, which covers: (1) strengthening basic understanding of PFA, (2) applying PFA principles (look, listen, link), (3) effective communication techniques with victims, and (4) handling violence from both legal and psychological perspectives. The implementation methods include knowledge transfer sessions, interactive discussions, field practice, and the provision of supporting booklets. This approach is designed to enhance the cadres’ skills in providing practical and human-centered support to victims. Based on qualitative evaluations, the program has improved the knowledge of PPPA cadres in Pemalang Regency regarding: (1) basic understanding of psychological first aid, (2) prioritizing and adopting a victim-centered perspective, and (3) strengthening victim assistance in both legal processes and psychological support needs. The service team has also developed a related module to enable cadres to continue improving their skills independently.

Abstract

Busy university staff often struggle to maintain a balanced diet which leads to health risks. This study investigated how education level, hunger, and Body Mass Index (BMI) influence food choices. A total of 109 university staff were invited to record their educational level, hunger and BMI and then the food choice using the Fake Food Buffet. General Linear Model analysis revealed the main effect of BMI significantly affected healthy food choices, F (1, 89) = 4.095, p = 0.46, partial ƞ2=.044, while hunger, (p =.057) and education level did not (p = .174). Importantly, a significant interaction was found between hunger and BMI, , F(1, 89) = 4.545, p = .036, partial ƞ2= .049, β = -14.130, 95% CI [-27.364, - .897] . While participants generally preferred healthy options, those with higher BMI chose significantly healthier foods overall; however, this pattern reversed when they were hungry, leading to poorer choices. Future studies might examine other personal factors, such as personality toward healthy food choices.

Abstract

This study explores how single men in Indonesia make sense of romantic relationships amid competing expectations of intimacy and culturally embedded gender norms. Prior scholarship on singleness and relationship experiences has predominantly centred women’s perspectives, leaving men’s meanings and negotiations of romantic involvement less examined in depth. Using a qualitative design, we conducted a focus group discussion with five single men in Jakarta and analysed the data through reflexive thematic analysis. The findings indicate that participants generally endorsed relational ideals characterised by reciprocity, mutual support, and egalitarian partnership. However, these ideals were frequently complicated by the persistent influence of traditional gender-role expectations within their social environment, creating tensions between what participants regarded as desirable relationship practices and what they anticipated as normative—particularly in the transition from dating to marriage. Overall, the study highlights how patriarchal cultural scripts remain salient in shaping men’s expectations, role imaginaries, and relational negotiations. These insights suggest the value of relationship education and gender-awareness initiatives that address not only individual skills (e.g., communication and emotional openness) but also broader normative pressures that structure intimate life.

Abstract

The present study examines whether forgiveness mediates the relationship between faith in God and couple resilience among Christian married couples. Using a quantitative, correlational design, we collected data from 254 married Christians in Indonesia via an online questionnaire assessing faith, forgiveness, and couple resilience. We conducted a mediation analysis with bootstrapping to estimate indirect effects. The results indicate that faith is positively associated with forgiveness. However, faith is not significantly directly associated with either the positive or negative dimensions of couple resilience. Instead, the relationship between faith and couple resilience appears to operate primarily through forgiveness: higher faith is linked to greater forgiveness, which in turn strengthens positive couple resilience and reduces negative couple resilience. These findings suggest that faith supports marital resilience mainly by fostering relational practices, rather than serving as a direct predictor of resilient functioning. The study highlights forgiveness as a key interpersonal mechanism through which faith-based values are enacted within marriage and underscores the value of incorporating forgiveness-focused components into faith-based marital and premarital interventions.

Abstract

Romantic relationships are a form of interpersonal relationship that requires specific skills to build and maintain healthy connections. The Inventory of Romantic Relationship Competence (IRRC; Faber et al., 2019) was developed with seven dimensions to assess emerging adults' perceived romantic competence. However, a formal Indonesian adaptation of the IRRC that examines its psychometric properties is not yet available. This study aims to conduct an initial adaptation and test the construct validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the IRRC. The instrument, consisting of 35 self-report items on a 5-point Likert scale, was completed by N = 406 participants (aged 18–25 years; active undergraduate students in Indonesia; with diverse romantic relationship statuses and experiences). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using JASP indicated that the Indonesian version of the IRRC has good internal reliability across all subscales and that the instrument's validity is adequate and acceptable. Overall, the IRRC is considered valid and reliable, with potential for use in both research and clinical assessment.
