Abstract

The cultural and traditional diversity found in Indonesia has given rise to various innovations in many fields. One of these is the traditional games of the Nusantara. These games, in relation to guidance and counseling, carry meaningful and relevant social, emotional, and spiritual values in the context of individual development. This study aims to explore the potential of Nusantara games as an alternative medium in a multicultural counseling approach. The research method used is a literature review through literature search, identification and selection of literature, synthesis analysis and evaluation of selected literature, drawing conclusions, and discussing the results of the review. Through a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the integration of Nusantara games in multicultural counseling. Ten Nusantara games were identified, including their general characteristics, related aspects, and effectiveness based on previous research. The findings indicate that Nusantara games have interrelated aspects in individual development, including personal, social, learning, and career aspects. The utilization of Nusantara games is important both as a means of cultural preservation and as a strategic approach in the counseling process. This study has limitations on the variety of games that do not include all kinds of traditional games in Indonesia, and only focuses on the potential and integration of games as a multicultural approach in Guidance and Counseling. The implications of these findings support the integration of Nusantara games as contextual and adaptive facilitators in counseling services.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by physical, emotional, and social transitions, during which conformity to peer norms frequently emerges as a dominant behavioral pattern. While moderate conformity can foster social skills and prosocial behavior, excessive conformity often undermines adolescents’ self-concept and autonomy, leading to negative outcomes, such as bullying, substance use, and diminished academic achievement. This study examined the effectiveness of assertive training techniques in mitigating negative conformity behavior among adolescents. Employing a qualitative literature review, 145 articles published between 2019 and 2024 were initially identified through Google Scholar, with eight articles meeting the inclusion criteria for an in-depth analysis. The findings consistently reveal that assertive training techniques enhance adolescents’ ability to resist peer pressure, improve interpersonal communication, strengthen self-concept, and reduce dependency on social approval. The review highlights three critical factors shaping the success of assertive training interventions: (1) individual factors, such as self-confidence and interpersonal skills; (2) environmental factors, including supportive group dynamics in counselling settings; and (3) methodological factors, such as structured role-play, simulations, and staged training implementation. Complementary approaches, such as sociodrama, have also been found to be effective in addressing conformity by fostering awareness of group dynamics. Despite promising outcomes, the reviewed studies faced methodological limitations, including small sample sizes and limited control group comparisons. This study underscores the potential of assertive training as a preventive and corrective counselling strategy to address adolescent conformity, while also calling for future research employing more rigorous experimental designs to strengthen the empirical evidence and broaden practical applications in educational and counselling contexts.
