Abstract

Long-distance marriage (LDM) can pose significant challenges for couples in preserving emotional intimacy, trust, and overall relationship stability, highlighting the importance of resilience in sustaining connections. This study investigated the interplay between spirituality, WhatsApp communication, and resilience in long-distance marriages. Resilience encompasses a couple's ability to effectively navigate challenges within a long-distance marriage (LDM). This study employed a quantitative correlational design and included 138 married individuals who have been engaged in LDM for at least one year. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing WhatsApp communication, spirituality measured by the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES), and couple resilience evaluated through the Couple Resilience Inventory Scale (CRIS). Analyses were performed using IBM SPSS. The results indicated a positive correlation between WhatsApp communication and positive resilience behaviour (r = 0.489, p < 0.01), along with a negative correlation with negative resilience behaviour (r = -0.442, p < 0.01). Furthermore, spirituality exhibited a positive correlation with positive resilience behaviour (r = 0.422, p < 0.01) and a negative correlation with negative resilience behaviour (r = -0.299, p < 0.01). WhatsApp communication and spirituality accounted for 28.6% of the variance in couple resilience, with other factors influencing the remaining percentage. These findings suggest that both digital communication and spirituality play significant roles in enhancing resilience among couples in long-distance relationships.

Abstract

Loneliness and internet addiction (IA) are risk factors for depression. Internet addiction and depression among adolescents have recently increased in prevalence globally and are expected to continue to increase. However, there is no clear line between internet addiction and depression as to why it occurs. Previous research on the relationship between loneliness and depression in adolescents involved IA as a mediator, and the results of the study showed that IA can be a partial mediator between loneliness and depression. However, in Indonesia, there has been no similar research regarding IA as a mediator and explaining the relationship between these variables. Previous studies show that lonely individuals show high levels of IA. It also causes depression in adolescents. The relationship is still not fully explained. The results of a study involving 732 adolescents in Indonesia, high school students aged 14 to 19 years, actively using the internet, and owning smartphones show that there is partial mediation of IA in the relationship between loneliness and depression in adolescents. Loss of control (LoC) is a dimension that is strongly associated with depression and loneliness. The amount of time spent on the Internet is also linked to loneliness and depression. The study found that girls were more likely to experience depression and loneliness compared to boys. These findings provide important information for parents and schools, and interventions related to these findings can be of serious concern.
