Abstract

Purpose of this study is to explore the counsellors' online experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic that hit Brunei in August 2020 where all educators were forced to shift from physical to virtual meetings. Semi-structured interview was conducted with six counsellors from secondary government school in Brunei Darussalam who experienced online counseling during the medium transition period. From the interview, the data was transcribed and categorized the responses in different themes. Using thematic analysis, it was found that e-counseling is possible provided that counsellors are future ready, equipped with necessary skills, knowledgeable and skillful. In addition, experienced counsellors shared information on how to improve online counseling services as well as the challenges they encountered throughout carrying out the sessions online. This study could be beneficial to add as literature and useful for future researchers to conduct similar research based on this research topic.

Abstract

Online gaming is becoming popular among teenagers as adults. The impacts of playing games may be positive or negative. Hence, the research aims to determine the impacts of online gaming on one's social and psychological well-being, specifically in terms of how online gaming affects students' social integration and social interactions and how online gaming is related to depression. The participants in this study are 180 college students, and data was analysed quantitatively. The findings revealed that among the college students, the majority identified as explorers (33%), followed by achievers (30%), killers (24%), and socializers (13%). The study indicated that while moderate gaming can enhance social integration, excessive gaming is linked to increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Students who spent less than three hours gaming maintained their real-life social relationships, suggesting that controlled gaming can coexist with healthy social interactions. Conversely, those who experienced feelings of loneliness in-game were more likely to report depressive symptoms, highlighting the importance of social support in mitigating negative psychological outcomes. In conclusion, online gaming does not inherently harm social and psychological well-being; rather, gaming time management and the nature of social interactions determine its impact. Recommendations include promoting awareness of mental health issues related to gaming and encouraging students to seek support when needed.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review of gratitude-based interventions from 2020 to 2025 to assess their psychological impact and position them within the therapy paradigms of Rocco Cottone. Based on 52 peer-reviewed articles identifying through a PRISMA-guided search, the results show that gratitude interventions effectively reduce the symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma-related distress. These functions improve Emotional and Spiritual Well-being, self-regulation, and relationships across various populations including students, employees, patients, and caregivers. A major uniqueness of this review is the application of Cottone's paradigmatic pie—psychological internal, external, inter, cross, and multi paradigms—contributing an innovative angle to analyzing the mechanisms and contexts of gratitude interventions. Most of the interventions were found within inter and internal paradigm models, whereas the transparadigm model which integrates biological, psychological, and social aspects, showed particular promise in clinical and organizational settings. This review also highlights the underappreciated role of gratitude in responding to post-digital socio-psychological stress uniquely relevant in today's fractured world. The study concludes that gratitude is a strategically valuable, multifaceted, flexible, and low-cost resource that can be easily weaved into modern counseling practice. Discussion is provided on implications for theory, practice, and future inquiries.
