Abstract

An insecure country cannot develop effectively, whatever its laudable development goals and objectives. The most challenging aspect of divided societies is that they face special obstacles in maintaining peace caused by various factors, one of which is religion and belief. The study aims to analyze the perception of stakeholders on the impact of religious counselling on national safety. A descriptive research design of survey type was used. The sample size was 50 male and female respondents which consisted of 10 religious leaders, 5 counselling professionals and 35 security personnel. Religious Counselling National Safety Questionnaire (RCNSQ) was the data collection instrument.  The analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical tool was used for testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The finding showed that there is no significant difference in the perception of the stakeholders on the impact of religious counselling on national safety (p.> 0.05). The study concluded that the professional counsellors, religious leaders and security personnel perceived that religious counselling has positive impacts on national safety. Based on the conclusion, the study recommended that the government should employ professional religious counsellors in schools and security agencies. This would assist in dealing with the people who are traumatized by the negative happenings that are threatening national safety.

Abstract

A proportion of secondary school adolescents exhibit social withdrawal behaviors characterized by low levels of social interaction, school participation, and self-confidence. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and social withdrawal among secondary school adolescents. A quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational survey design was employed. The research population comprised 92,097 senior high school students, with a sample of 398 students selected using the Slovin formula and purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Social Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES) and the Social Withdrawal Frequency Scale (SWFS). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product–Moment correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that low self-efficacy shows a positive but non-significant relationship with social withdrawal, whereas moderate and high self-efficacy demonstrate weak and non-significant negative relationships with social withdrawal. Furthermore, both the simultaneous and partial contributions of self-efficacy to social withdrawal were not statistically significant. The findings suggest that although self-efficacy is not a strong predictor of social withdrawal, strengthening self-efficacy remains important as a preventive effort to support adolescents’ social adjustment through school guidance and counseling services. This study concludes that despite a tendency toward a relationship between self-efficacy and social withdrawal, the association is not statistically significant. The implications of this study highlight the important role of school counselors in identifying students with low self-efficacy and designing confidence-enhancement intervention programs to prevent social withdrawal behaviors among adolescents.
