Abstract

Mental health service utilization in the Philippines remains low despite significant psychological distress and recent legislative reforms aimed at improving access. Understanding factors influencing help-seeking attitudes is crucial for addressing this disparity. This study investigated the personality determinants of attitudes toward seeking mental health services. A cross-sectional design was employed with a sample of 294 Filipino adults, and data were analyzed using correlation analysis. Results indicated that Conscientiousness and Extraversion were significantly and positively correlated with psychological openness (r=.155, p< .01) and help-seeking propensity (r=.128, p< .05); while Neuroticism was negatively associated with the attitudes of psychological openness (r =-.209, p < .01) and indifference to stigma (r = -.128, p< .05) and showed Conscientiousness positively correlates with stigma sensitivity (r=.131, p < .05). These findings suggest that certain personality traits can either facilitate or hinder an individual's willingness to seek professional psychological help, highlighting the need for tailored interventions that consider internal personality factors in promoting mental health service utilization.

Abstract

Violence is a growing problem among adolescents and young adults, particularly in the Karawang region. This study aims to analyze the influence of emotion regulation on the tendency to perpetrate dating violence among university students in Karawang. A causal-associative quantitative method was employed, utilizing a sample of 100 students aged 18-29 years selected through convenience sampling. Data analysis was performed using simple regression with the aid of IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The results indicate a significant negative correlation between emotion regulation and dating violence (p=0.000<0.01), with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 49.1%. This suggests that nearly half of the variability in dating violence is influenced by individuals' ability to regulate their emotions. These findings imply the necessity of developing psychological interventions that focus on enhancing emotion regulation as a primary strategy in the prevention and management of violence in dating relationships.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of academic achievement and parental involvement on student subjective well-being (SSWB) among high school students in Bandar Lampung City. SSWB encompasses students' perceptions of the quality of life at school, including school connectedness, academic success, enjoyment of learning, and educational goals. This study used a quantitative approach, with 200 students from two private high schools as a sample selected through quota sampling. The instruments used included the SSWQ scale, a parental involvement scale, and report card data as an indicator of academic achievement. The results showed that academic achievement and parental involvement significantly influenced SSWB, both partially and simultaneously, with parental involvement having a greater influence (β = 0.464; effective contribution = 22.41%) than academic achievement (β = 0.296; effective contribution = 9.65%), with an R Square of 0.320. These findings confirm the importance of parents' roles and academic achievement in supporting students' subjective well-being at school.

Abstract

Generation Z is known as the group most familiar with technology, making them more susceptible to using paylater services. Self-control and hedonistic tendencies are assumed to play a role in influencing their financial management behavior. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-control, hedonism, and financial management among paylater users in Bandar Lampung. The research design used was quantitative correlational with 332 participants aged 17–28 years selected through purposive sampling. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that self-control and hedonism had a significant effect on financial management with a significance level of 0.01 < 0.05. Partially, self-control has a strong positive influence (p=0.001) and an effective contribution of 14.9%, while hedonism shows a significant negative influence (p=0.004) and an effective contribution of 5.5%. These findings confirm that self-control is more dominant in shaping healthy financial management behavior than hedonism, which tends to have the opposite effect.

Abstract

Toxic work culture has become a major concern in organizational psychology due to its impact on mental health and productivity. This study explores how power imbalances, weak organizational systems, and the absence of protective mechanisms create psychosocial stress in the workplace. Using a qualitative case study in the Contact Center Industry in Central Java and Yogyakarta, 10 participants from various job levels were interviewed through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using thematic coding. Findings revealed three dominant themes: psychological insecurity (63%), reflected in withdrawal, fear of speaking up, and loss of initiative; toxic behaviors (18%), such as sarcasm and verbal abuse tolerated due to high performance; and structural dysfunction (23%), including the absence of conflict SOPs and weak HR intervention. Employees responded with self-protection strategies like social withdrawal. This study contributes to developing ethical and psychologically safe organizational systems through ethics-based evaluation and stronger HR functions.

Abstract

Emerging adulthood is a transitional stage toward adulthood that often brings about feelings of anxiety and despair, which are characteristic of a quarter-life crisis. This study aims to examine the influence of self-efficacy and resilience on quarter-life crisis among individuals in the emerging adulthood stage in Karawang. This research employed a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis, conducted with SPSS version 25.0. The sample consisted of 352 respondents aged between 20 and 25 years. The instruments used were the General Self-Efficacy Scale 12-Item (GSES-12) and the 10-Item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), which were adopted scales, as well as the Quarter Life Crisis Scale, which was adapted for this study. The results of the hypothesis testing indicated a simultaneous effect of self-efficacy and resilience on quarter-life crisis, with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and a total contribution of 26%. Partially, self-efficacy contributed 23.89%, while resilience contributed 2.52%, and both variables showed a positive relationship with quarter-life crisis. These findings highlight the importance for individuals in emerging adulthood to develop realistic expectations and the ability to manage negative emotions, anxiety, and worries that may arise during the quarter-life crisis phase.

Abstract

The success of an organization hinges on the importance of alocating the right resources to it. Organizations are expected to pay attention to the suitability between employees and their work through individual assessments with psychological examinations. In addition to looking at the suitability of employees' potential or competencies with the demands of their jobs, organizations should also measure the suitability of employees' career interests with the choice of employees' job aspirations using Holland's RIASEC test. The research in the form of the application of individual assessment of career development was carried out on subjects who felt bored or were not suitable for their current job. Data analysis uses descriptive qualitative methods. The results of the study show that the potential or competence of the subject is in accordance with their work, so they are expected to be able to perform optimally at work. However, the subject's career interests do not match his career aspirations or the job he wants, so it is expected that individuals can develop their career interests in other activities, as well as the organization can take other development steps, such as work rotation.

Abstract

Drug abuse among women is a growing phenomenon that affects psychological functioning, particularly for women who hold caregiving roles as mothers. However, studies on the psychological dynamics of women who abuse drugs are limited. This study aims to understand the psychological dynamics of women who use drugs, from initial exposure and use, to relapse, and the decision to stop. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two female correctional inmates who were convicted of narcotic offenses and met the study criteria. The analysis was conducted using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach. The findings indicate that the interaction of internal factors (self-regulation and motivation), emotional and spiritual conditions, and social factors influence psychological dynamics. These findings underscore the importance of gender-responsive and psychosocial rehabilitation approaches in understanding women’s drug abuse.
