Abstract

Self-confidence is essential in adolescent development, particularly for social interactions, public speaking, and decision-making. Adolescents with low self-confidence often withdraw, feel anxious in social situations, and struggle with decisions. Previous research has linked self-confidence to both academic and social success. However, studies on effective psychological interventions to improve self-confidence in adolescents from low socioeconomic backgrounds remain scarce. This study focuses on a 19-year-old adolescent from an economically disadvantaged family. Despite academic potential and personal strengths, the subject experiences self-doubt and fear of self-expression. Person-centered therapy (PCT) was chosen as an appropriate intervention to enhance self-confidence. This research evaluates the effectiveness of PCT in promoting self-acceptance, positive self-perception, and confidence in social settings. Qualitative methods were employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The findings indicate that PCT effectively boosts self-confidence, particularly through techniques such as unconditional positive regard. This supports the effectiveness of PCT in enhancing adolescent self-confidence and psychological well-being.

Abstract

his study examines the differences in psychological well-being between primigravida and multigravida women of the Nuaulu tribe in Central Maluku during the Nuhune ritual—a traditional period of cultural seclusion symbolizing spiritual purification before childbirth. Employing a comparative quantitative design, the study involved 30 participants (15 primigravida and 15 multigravida), assessed using an adapted version of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed significantly higher well-being scores among primigravida women (U = 5.500, p < 0.05), with a large effect size (r = 0.82). These findings suggest that first-time participation in cultural-spiritual rituals may foster greater personal growth, purpose, and emotional support. The results underscore the importance of culturally grounded maternal health strategies that recognize the psychological functions of indigenous rituals. Limitations include the small sample size and cross-sectional design.
