Abstract

Responsibility is an inherent obligation for every individual and a necessity to accept the consequences of one's actions. Therefore, students, as members of a school community, must possess appropriate responsibility attitudes. To investigate the improvement of these attitudes, this study examined the effectiveness of the WDEP group counseling technique among 8th-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Gamping. This research employed a quantitative methodology, utilizing a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of all 151 8th-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Gamping. A nonprobability sampling technique, specifically purposive sampling, was used to select a sample of 5 students. A student responsibility attitude questionnaire served as the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using a paired t-test. The findings confirmed the hypothesis, demonstrating that the WDEP group counseling technique significantly enhanced the responsibility attitudes of the 8th-grade students. The t-test results yielded a t-value of -8.398 with a significance level (Sig.) of 0.001, which is less than 0.05. This indicates that the WDEP group counseling technique effectively improves students' responsibility attitudes at SMP Negeri 2 Gamping.

Abstract

Trust is a key element in the effectiveness of the mental health counseling process, especially in reaching millennials who have unique characteristics in terms of values, communication, and expectations of psychological services. This study aims to identify and analyze effective strategies counselors use in building trust with millennial clients. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was obtained through in-depth interviews and observations with professional counselors who are experienced in working with clients aged 20-35. The results revealed four main strategies used consistently, namely: (1) empathic and authentic communication, (2) the use of storytelling and personal narratives, (3) the application of inclusive and culturally sensitive language, and (4) the use of digital media as an initial medium for building trust. The findings confirm the importance of cultural competence and adaptation of counseling approaches to the social and technological dynamics faced by the millennial generation. Practical implications of this research include the need for more contextualized counselor training, as well as the development of service policies that accommodate relational and digital approaches in modern counseling practices.
