Abstract

Environmental cynicism refers to distrust of the motives underlying environmental conservation efforts. In Indonesia, research on this phenomenon remains limited, largely because no instrument has been systematically adapted for the local context. Following the International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines, this study translated and adapted the Environmental Cynicism Scale (ECS) for use in Indonesia. University students were recruited through convenience sampling. The adaptation process included forward-backward translation, expert evaluation of content validity, and assessment of response process validity to ensure alignment with the intent of the original instrument. The findings showed that the ECS items were relevant and easy for respondents to understand. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a unidimensional measurement model, with acceptable factor loadings and satisfactory internal consistency. The Indonesian version of the ECS, which consists of six items, was valid and reliable for assessing environmental cynicism among university students in Indonesia. These findings provide a foundation for using the ECS in Indonesian environmental psychology research and offer directions for future studies on factors that shape individual engagement with environmental issues.

Abstract

Climate change and the broader environmental crisis underscore the importance of community engagement in fostering environmental awareness and pro-environmental behavior. This study examined how members of Seasoldier Surabaya interpret environmental issues through their participation in community activities. The study adopted a qualitative design and applied Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with two Generation Z members of Seasoldier Surabaya who had actively participated in community activities for at least one year. The findings showed that members perceive their involvement in Seasoldier Surabaya not merely as participation in environmental action, but also as a personal and social experience that strengthens concern for environmental issues. Community engagement generates emotional satisfaction, a sense of belonging, and social support, while also reshaping members’ perspectives on the relationship between the self, others, and the environment. This involvement further strengthens their commitment to sustaining pro-environmental behavior over time. In addition, the community’s egalitarian and supportive structure plays a central role in maintaining consistent member engagement. These findings suggest that interpretations of environmental issues emerge through collective experiences that are internalized within the community context.

Abstract

The advancement of information and communication technology, along with increased internet use via social media, has contributed to a shift from traditional bullying to cyberbullying. Cyberbullying frequently occurs among adolescents who regularly access the internet and social media through smartphones or computers. Excessive internet use may disrupt daily functioning and contribute to maladaptive online behavior. This study examined whether executive function moderates the association between problematic internet use and cyberbullying tendencies among adolescents. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 316 adolescents aged 15–20 years in South Kalimantan, Indonesia (M = 17.61). Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Cyberbullying Tendency Scale, the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire Short-Form (PIUQ-SF-6), and the Executive Skills Questionnaire-Revised (ESQ-R). The data were analyzed using Hayes’ PROCESS macro. The results showed that executive function moderated the association between problematic internet use and cyberbullying tendencies. However, executive function was not significantly associated with cyberbullying tendencies, and problematic internet use was not significantly associated with cyberbullying tendencies. Executive function serves as a key variable that can either strengthen or weaken the influence of problematic internet use on cyberbullying tendencies, despite not being directly associated with either construct. These results suggest that cyberbullying prevention strategies may be more effective when focused on enhancing cognitive regulation and digital behavior management, particularly among adolescents at risk for problematic internet use.

Abstract

Human activities exacerbate environmental degradation and climate change. Pro-environmental behavior can help mitigate these effects, and intention is a key predictor of such behavior. This study examined the associations between basic values and intentions to engage in pro-environmental behavior among university students. An online survey was conducted with 127 students using the Indonesian version of the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-40) and a pro-environmental behavior intention scale. Universalism and self-direction were weakly and positively correlated with pro-environmental intentions, whereas hedonism and power were weakly and negatively correlated. These findings indicate that basic values are related to pro-environmental intentions, although only selected values showed significant associations. In particular, values within self-transcendence and openness to change were associated with pro-environmental intentions. Interventions that seek to strengthen pro-environmental behavior should therefore foster concern for others, concern for nature, and openness to new ideas.

Abstract

Prior research has demonstrated that present bias impedes the adoption of pro-environmental behaviors, such as reducing the consumption of single-use plastics in everyday life. Van der Linden (2015) found that those who utilize disposable plastics exhibit more vulnerability to present bias, displaying a preference for immediate convenience at the expense of long-term environmental consequences. Nevertheless, despite the urgent plastic waste problem in Indonesia, there is still a shortage of extensive literature on effective solutions to this issue. This study investigates whether immediate impact narratives on climate change can affect people's intentions to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic. Using a between-subject design experiment, 90 individuals were randomly divided into three groups. Group A was shown with a vignette containing narratives that conveyed the immediate impacts of climate change. Group B, on the other hand, was shown a vignette containing narratives that conveyed long-term impact of climate change. Group C did not receive any vignette. Afterwards, all participants filled out a questionnaire that assessed their intention to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic in the future. The findings revealed substantial disparities among the groups, with Group A demonstrating a greater intention to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics in comparison to Group B and C. These findings indicate that by using immediate impact narratives, present bias can be mitigated and effective interventions can eventually be devised to gradually reduce the consumption of single-use plastic in the long run.
