<![CDATA[The low level of learning concentration experienced by students has become an obstacle to achieving optimal learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of the behavioral counseling approach using relaxation techniques in improving the learning concentration of seventh-grade junior high school students. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design. The population in this study consisted of students from classes VII A1, VII A2, and VII A3 who had low learning concentration. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, involving 32 students from class VII A1. From these, 12 students with low concentration were chosen and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The data collection methods used were observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Independent Samples t-Test with the help of SPSS 26.0. The results showed that relaxation techniques within the behavioral counseling approach were effective in improving students’ learning concentration. Thus, Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected, indicating the effectiveness of the behavioral counseling approach with relaxation techniques in enhancing the learning concentration of seventh-grade junior high school students. These findings have important implications for the field of guidance and counseling, particularly in developing effective intervention strategies to address learning concentration problems at the junior high school level.]]>

<![CDATA[Self-confidence in adolescents plays a very important role in their developmental stage. When adolescents feel confident, they tend to be better able to face various challenges and social situations. It is not only about how adolescents deal with challenges or achieve goals, but also about forming a strong and positive personality foundation during adolescence. This study aims to determine and describe the effect of cognitive behavioural counselling using the role-playing technique to increase the self-confidence of eight Grade students (Sekolah Penggerak) with a sample of 5 students. This research is an experimental study using a one-group pre-test post-test design. The study population comprised all eight Grade students (Sekolah Penggerak). The data analysis method used in this study is a non-parametric test applying the Wilcoxon test. The results of this study show that cognitive behavioural counselling with the role-playing technique is effective or has an influence in increasing the self-confidence of eight Grade students, with a result of p < α = 0.042 < 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of cognitive behavioural counselling using the role-playing technique on increasing students’ self-confidence. This study is also expected to serve as a reference for future researchers to apply a similar approach with different techniques or to explore other psychological variables.]]>

<![CDATA[The low ability of students to manage the learning process independently and the existence of negative perceptions of themselves are the main factors in decreasing academic achievement and self-confidence. This study aims to test the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques in improving self-regulation in learning and students' self-concept. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design model. The subjects consisted of 68 students who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group that received intervention and the control group without treatment. The research instrument was a self-regulation questionnaire in learning and self-concept that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used MANOVA to determine the difference in pretest and posttest scores on both variables. The results showed that cognitive behavioral counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques was effective in improving self-regulation in learning and students' self-concept simultaneously (p <0.05). These findings strengthen the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring techniques in the context of guidance and counseling services, especially in schools with lower middle socioeconomic backgrounds. This study also provides theoretical and practical contributions to the development of counseling services based on the cognitive behavioral approach in educational environments.]]>

<![CDATA[Low student ability in managing the learning process independently and the presence of negative self-perceptions are major factors contributing to declining academic achievement and self-confidence. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral counseling using cognitive restructuring techniques in improving students’ self-regulated learning and self-concept. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group model was used in this study. The subjects consisted of 68 students divided into two groups: an experimental group that received the intervention and a control group that did not receive any specific treatment. The research instruments were self-regulated learning and self-concept questionnaires, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using MANOVA to determine the differences in pretest and posttest scores on both variables. The results showed that cognitive behavioral counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques was effective in simultaneously improving students' self-regulated learning and self-concept (p < 0.05). These findings reinforce the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring techniques in the context of school counseling services, particularly in schools with lower socioeconomic backgrounds. This study also provides both theoretical and practical contributions to the development of cognitive behavioral-based counseling services in educational settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Psychological well-being in middle-aged women is an important aspect influenced by various psychological factors, including resilience, emotion regulation, and self-efficacy. This study aims to identify and analyze the contribution of these three variables to the psychological well-being of middle-aged women in Medan City. Using a quantitative ex post facto design, the study involved 107 respondents aged 40-64 years who are members of the Persaudaraan Dharma Wanita community. Data were collected through valid and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression after meeting the necessary assumptions. The results show that, partially, resilience and self-efficacy have a significant positive effect, while emotion regulation has a marginally significant effect on psychological well-being. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence psychological well-being, with an F value of 27.181 (p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.442 indicates that 44.2% of the variance in psychological well-being can be explained by these variables, while the remaining 55.8% is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening resilience, managing emotions, and building self-confidence to maintain mental health in middle-aged women. This study provides a foundation for developing targeted psychological interventions to enhance psychological well-being in this population.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescents often rely on support from significant adult figures particularly parents and teachers to navigate their career development, yet research exploring the specific influence of teacher support on students’ career-related outcomes remains limited. This study aims to examine the factorial structure and measurement invariance of the Indonesian adaptation of the Teacher Support Scale (TSS). Using a quantitative survey design, the study involved 662 high school students who completed the Indonesian version of the TSS consisting of 21 items across four dimensions. Data were analyzed using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess configural, metric, scalar, and strict invariance across gender. The findings demonstrate that the Indonesian TSS exhibits strong internal reliability and retains its four-factor structure consistently for both male and female students. Furthermore, all invariance models met acceptable fit criteria, indicating that the scale functions equivalently across gender groups. These results confirm that the TSS is suitable for assessing teacher support related to career decision-making self-efficacy among adolescents. The study’s implications highlight the importance of teacher-based interventions in strengthening students’ career confidence and informing future practices in career guidance and counseling.]]>

<![CDATA[When entering education at the university level, first-year students are usually required to master technology—the use of technology as the main support in learning and facilitating all student academic activities. Over time, this can lead to technology-based stress which then leads to poor academic resilience abilities formed by first-year students. This study aims to prove the relationship between technostress and academic resilience in first-year students. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional bivariate correlational design. A total of 423 first-year students became research participants using the accidental sampling technique. Research measurements used Technostress Creators (α = 0.981) and Academic Resilience Scale-30 (α = 0.982). The results prove that there is a significant negative relationship between technostress and academic resilience in first-year students (r = -0.939 and sig. = 0.000; p<0.01). That is, when there is an increase or decrease in technostress experienced by first-year students, it will be followed simultaneously by a decrease or increase in resilience. These results indicate that universities need to conduct regular mentoring and training related to the use of technology as the main means of learning for first-year students so that they can find the right self-strategy to control technostress on the academic dynamics experienced.]]>

<![CDATA[Social anxiety among adolescents is a psychological problem that can hinder social interaction skills, reduce participation in academic activities, and negatively affect emotional development and psychological well-being. Increasing social demands, educational pressures, and the limited availability of culturally relevant intervention strategies have made social anxiety an important issue that requires effective and contextualized treatment approaches. This study aimed to analyze, evaluate, and examine the effectiveness of a relaxation technique assisted by Gending Sriwijaya traditional music in reducing social anxiety among adolescents. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. The participants consisted of 14 students identified as having high levels of social anxiety and were assigned to experimental and control groups. Data were collected using an adapted version of the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A), which had undergone a validation process and was used to measure participants’ social anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to examine within-group changes and the Mann-Whitney U test to compare differences between groups. The findings indicated that the relaxation technique assisted by Gending Sriwijaya traditional music significantly reduced social anxiety among participants in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. These results suggest that the integration of traditional music into counseling services has the potential to serve as an effective culturally responsive intervention for promoting adolescent mental health. The study provides important implications for the development of innovative, contextual, and culturally based school counseling practices that address students’ psychological needs.]]>
