Abstract

Guidance and counseling services face challenges related to the fragmentation of philosophical and scientific foundations, which affects the development of theories, policies, and service practices globally. This study aims to analyze and synthesize trends in the development of guidance and counseling foundations through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. The research data were obtained from international scientific publications indexed in Scopus and selected using the PRISMA protocol to ensure transparency and relevance of sources. Data analysis was conducted using the SPAR 4 SLR approach, thematic analysis, and matrix mapping to identify patterns of dominance among fundamental dimensions, variations in implementation, and the dynamics of transformation in guidance and counseling practices. The findings indicate that philosophical and psychological foundations are the most dominant dimensions in shaping ethical direction, scientific approaches, and operational service strategies. However, the integration of social, religious, pedagogical, technological, and juridical-formal dimensions remains necessary to develop services that are more adaptive, multicultural, and contextual. This study concludes that the development of guidance and counseling requires an integrative synthesis among fundamental dimensions to address the complexities of education and social changes in the 21st century. The implications of this study include strengthening counselor education curricula, developing multicultural competencies and digital literacy, as well as harmonizing professional standards and service innovations based on both global and local contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Solution Focused Brief group counseling guidebook that meets the criteria of acceptability, which consists of four aspects, namely: accuracy, usefulness, feasibility, and appropriateness, and to test its effectiveness in reducing FOMO in adolescents. The study uses the Borg and Gall research and development (R&D) model, which consists of seven stages. Research participants included expert validators, guidance counselors, and students. Data were collected through questionnaires using validity assessment instruments administered to experts and prospective users to assess the level of acceptability of the developed guidebook, as well as questionnaires using FOMO instruments administered to students. Data analysis was conducted by applying product validity methods and effectiveness tests through a comparison of pretest and posttest results. The effectiveness test results showed that the intervention using the FOMORE guide had a significant impact on reducing FOMO in adolescents. Thus, the Solution Focused Brief group counseling guidebook has been proven to be feasible for use in reducing FOMO in adolescents, and it is recommended for implementation by guidance counselors as an innovative intervention in responsive services at schools.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the high level of learning anxiety experienced by high school students, which has a negative impact on the learning process and outcomes. Learning anxiety arises due to irrational thinking patterns, academic pressure, and students' inability to manage emotional responses adaptively. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral counseling with systematic desensitization techniques in minimizing students' learning anxiety in high school. This research uses a quantitative research approach using a Quasi-Experimental Design (Quasi-Experimental) approach. The type of research used is Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population used is grade X looking for students who have the highest learning anxiety so that sampling uses Purposive Sampling by getting 9 students who have high learning anxiety as an experimental class and getting 9 students who have moderate learning anxiety as a control class. Data analysis techniques use statistical tests to determine differences in anxiety levels before and after treatment. The results of the study showed a significant decrease in learning anxiety after students participated in counseling. The implications of this study indicate that cognitive behavioral counseling with systematic desensitization techniques is effective and can be applied as an alternative guidance and counseling service in high school.

Abstract

Marriage readiness is an essential developmental task in early adulthood, yet many final-year students face the transition to marriage without adequate psychological and interpersonal preparedness. Empirical research that comprehensively identifies personal competencies as predictors of marriage readiness in this transitional phase remains limited. This study aims to analyze and examine the predictive role of emotional maturity and interpersonal communication skills on marriage readiness among final-year students. A correlational quantitative design was employed with unmarried final-year students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an emotional maturity scale based on emotional regulation and stability, the Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (ICCS), and a marriage readiness scale covering psychological, emotional, social, and marital value dimensions. Multiple regression analysis was conducted after testing statistical assumptions, validity, and reliability. The results indicate that both emotional maturity and interpersonal communication skills are significant predictors of marriage readiness, with interpersonal communication showing a relatively stronger contribution. These findings underscore the importance of developing emotional regulation and interpersonal communication competence as essential components of interventions aimed at preparing students for marital life.

Abstract

Bullying remains a serious problem that can hinder the development of students' potential and trigger long-term psychological impacts, such as social disintegration, negative self-evaluation, and depression. This study seeks to examine the impact of Javanese behavior on bullying conduct among students. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey design involving 943 Javanese high school and vocational high school students (429 males; 514 females). Data were collected through a Google Form-based Javanese behavior and bullying behavior questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression analysis to test the relationship between variables. The results showed a significant regression model (F = 17.274; p < 0.05), indicating that Javanese behavior influences bullying. Of the 14 respondent cities, four cities showed a significant influence: Surakarta, Purbalingga, Banjarnegara, and Kebumen. The dimensions of tolerance, ngajeni, and giving in are related to physical, verbal, and psychological bullying. This study confirms that internalization of Javanese cultural values has the potential to be a preventive strategy for bullying and can be integrated into guidance and counseling services to strengthen character and harmony.

Abstract

Low career maturity among students remains a serious problem characterized by a lack of understanding of self-potential, career goals, and weak ability to make career decisions independently. This study aims to analyze the tendency of students' career choice profiles and the effectiveness of the cognitive behavioral counseling model with self-management techniques in improving the career maturity of grade XI students. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects consisted of 64 students divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instrument was a career maturity questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that the level of career maturity of students before being given treatment was in the moderate category, which indicated that most students still experienced confusion in determining career direction and future planning. After being given treatment in the form of cognitive behavioral counseling with self-management techniques, the results of the independent sample t-test were obtained with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). This indicates a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group experienced an increase in the average post-test score compared to the control group. In conclusion, the cognitive-behavioral counseling model with self-management techniques is effective in improving the career maturity of eleventh-grade students. The implication is that the cognitive-behavioral counseling model with self-management techniques can be used as an alternative, effective guidance and counseling service to improve students' career maturity.

Abstract

Self-acceptance issues can affect students’ developmental tasks and their ability to adapt within educational environments. This study aimed to analyze the level of students’ self-acceptance and to examine differences in self-acceptance between male and female students from underprivileged backgrounds. The study employed a quantitative approach with a comparative research design. The participants involved high school students from underprivileged families selected through a total sampling technique. Data were collected through the administration of a Self-Acceptance Scale developed based on a Likert-scale model in accordance with indicators of self-acceptance. Data analysis was conducted descriptively by considering measures of central tendency and data distribution, while difference analysis was performed using the independent sample t-test. The findings revealed that students’ self-acceptance was generally categorized as high for both male and female students. The results also indicated that there was no significant difference in self-acceptance based on gender, suggesting that gender was not a major factor influencing the self-acceptance of students from underprivileged backgrounds. This study implies the importance of the role of guidance and counseling teachers in designing sustainable services that support the development of students’ self-acceptance through preventive, developmental, and psychological assistance programs within the school environment.

Abstract

Single parents are increasingly common in developing societies and often face economic, psychosocial, social, and support-related challenges. Therefore, deeper understanding is needed of how they adapt to these conditions. This study aimed to analyze the psychosocial challenges experienced by single parents and examine the adaptive coping strategies they employ in navigating the demands of single parenthood. The study employed a quantitative survey research design involving 100 single parents selected as research participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that measured psychosocial challenges, including stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as coping strategies related to economic engagement, personal character development, social image management, and family support. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings indicate that extended family support is the most dominant coping strategy, followed by efforts to build more positive social perceptions of single parents, engagement in productive economic activities, and strengthening personal resilience and moral values. The study concludes that single parents’ coping behavior is influenced by the interaction of cultural norms, economic conditions, and social demands. These findings imply the need to strengthen community-based support systems through counseling services, economic empowerment programs, stigma-reduction campaigns, and inclusive social welfare policies to improve the psychosocial well-being of single-parent families.

Abstract

Women in Plateau State, Nigeria, have experienced prolonged exposure to conflict caused by the Boko Haram insurgency, Fulani herder attacks, and ethno-religious violence, resulting in displacement, trauma, and economic vulnerability. Although humanitarian assistance has been provided, evidence-based psychosocial interventions remain limited. This quasi-experimental study evaluated the effectiveness of social support interventions on psychological well-being and standard of living among conflict-affected women in Plateau State Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. A pretest-posttest control group design was employed with 80 women (aged 18-60 years) randomly assigned to two groups: social support intervention (n=40) and control (n=40). The intervention was delivered over 12 weeks. Psychological well-being was measured using the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, and standard of living was assessed using a validated Standard of Living Index. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA and independent t-tests. The social support intervention produced significant improvements compared to controls. The social support group demonstrated significant improvements in psychological well-being (F=52.18, p<0.001, eta-squared=0.42) and moderate gains in standard of living (F=28.45, p<0.001, eta-squared=0.28). Social support strongly influences psychological well-being, particularly autonomy, environmental mastery, and positive relationships with others. This intervention is highly effective in improving psychological well-being and moderately effective in enhancing the living standards of conflict-affected women. These findings support the integration of structured social support programs into humanitarian responses in Nigeria and similar post-conflict settings.
