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.
