Abstract

Abstract. Celebrity worship is a parasocial relationship with one or more celebrities driven by identity absorption and addiction to everything related to the celebrity. However, previous studies state that celebrity worship positively impacts the worshipers if they join the fandom. In a quantitative study design, the current study aims to determine the role of celebrity worship on the eudaimonic well-being of members of the BTS-ARMY fandom in Indonesia. There were 207 participants aged 18-25 who had joined the BTS-ARMY fandom for at least one year before the study. Data was gained using online questionnaires. The result of simple linear regression shows that celebrity worship has a positive role in eudaimonic well-being (R2=0.020; p < 0.05). By linking these two variables of the BTS-ARMY members in Indonesia, the finding contributes to understanding eudaimonic well-being in celebrity worshiping as a nonpathological activity. Further research investigation is required to support this result, for example, by focusing on the group dynamics of the fandom community.Keywords: BTS; Celebrity Worship; Eudaimonic Well-being; fandom ARMY

Abstract

Adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 who commit crimes so that they must take responsibility for their actions by undergoing guidance at the Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) are called juvenile offender. Juvenile offenders, who are adolescents in their developmental period, certainly experience pressures caused by various changes in environmental conditions that they must face while serving a sentence in the LPKA. Therefore, a juvenile offender must have resilience. This study aims to examine whether there is an influence between self-esteem and resilience in foster children in LPKA. The participants of this study were 132 juvenile offenders consisting of 64 juvenile offenders of LPKA X and 68 juvenile offenders of LPKA Y. The research data were collected by distributing questionnaires of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Resilience Quotient (RQ) measuring instruments. The hypotheses were tested using the simple linear regression method.

Abstract

Prolonged social media use can increase loneliness and potentially affect mental health, including depression. This study explored the effect of perceived social support on loneliness in predicting depression in 134 early adult social media users (18-34 years old) who used social media more than 3 hours per day and experienced mild depression (PHQ-9). Instruments included the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3, MSPSS, and BDI-II. Regression analysis with moderation showed that perceived social support did not significantly moderate the relationship between loneliness and depression (p > 0.05). However, social support from family had a significant direct effect in reducing depression (p < 0.05), while the dimensions of friends and significant others were not significant. These results indicate that although perceived social support is not strong enough as a moderator in the loneliness-depression relationship, the family dimension still plays an important role directly in reducing depression. The direct results indicate a direct contribution to depression through the family dimension. Thus, although perceived social support as a whole does not moderate this relationship, certain dimensions still have a direct effect.

Abstract

Female prisoners face various challenges during detention, including the loss of their roles as mothers, social isolation, and privacy restrictions. During detention, female prisoners may feel bored, fear violence, and have difficulty building trust. They need to engage in emotion regulation and forgiveness to maintain their mental health. Sometimes, female prisoners experience difficulties in emotion regulation. Previous research has indicated that difficulties in emotion regulation impact the forgiveness process. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotion regulation and forgiveness among female prisoners. The research method used is quantitative with a convenience sampling technique. A total of 190 female prisoners aged 18-65 years completed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Short Form (DERS-SF) and Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) questionnaires. Spearman Correlation Analysis yielded r = -.324 and p = .001 < .01. The results indicate a negative and significant relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and forgiveness. This means that the stronger the difficulties in emotion regulation, the weaker the tendency toward forgiveness. This conclusion can also be interpreted to mean that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotion regulation and forgiveness. In other words, the stronger the ability in emotion regulation, the stronger the tendency toward forgiveness. The research findings are expected to provide important insights into the development of more effective interventions to support emotion regulation and forgiveness, as well as the social reintegration process of female prisoners. Additionally, these findings can serve as a foundation for the development of further research ideas to explore the factors that influence emotion regulation and forgiveness.
