Abstract

The development of prosocial behavior in early childhood is crucial as it shapes future character and social interactions. This study explores the influence of socio-economic status, parenting patterns, and self-control on children’s prosocial behavior based on the Pancasila student profile at PAUD institutions in Lampung Province. Employing an associative quantitative approach with path analysis, the study involved 400 group B students. Data was collected through questionnaires, with socio-economic and parenting sections completed by parents, and prosocial behavior assessed by teachers. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability empirically, with valid items further evaluated using Cronbach's Alpha. Analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential techniques with SmartPLS version 4. The findings reveal: (1) socio-economic status significantly affects parenting patterns, (2) socio-economic status directly influences self-control, (3) socio-economic status positively impacts prosocial behavior, (4) parenting patterns influence self-control, (5) parenting patterns directly affect prosocial behavior, and (6) self-control significantly impacts prosocial behavior. The study concludes that socio-economic status, parenting patterns, and self-control positively and directly shape prosocial behavior in alignment with the Pancasila student profile. Additionally, the indirect effect of socio-economic status on prosocial behavior through parenting patterns was found to be even more significant. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive socio-economic environment, effective parenting, and strong self-control to nurture prosocial behavior in early childhood, contributing to the development of children who embody the values of the Pancasila student profile.

Abstract

This study sought to identify the levels of academic procrastination and psychological and social adjustment among Hashemite University students and to reveal whether there are any differences in the psychological and social adjustment attributable to the variables of gender, college, and academic level. Moreover, the study examined the correlation between academic procrastination and psychological and social adjustment. The study recruited (350) students from Hashemite University. The Academic Procrastination and the Psychological and Social Adjustment scales were utilised to achieve the objectives. The findings showed that (65.1%) of the students had a medium level of academic procrastination, and (4.6%) of the students had substantial levels and a moderate level of psychological and social adjustment. The results demonstrated that the gender variable contributed to statistically significant differences in the degree of psychological and social adjustment. Finally, academic procrastination and psychological and social adjustments were found to be negatively and statistically significantly correlated. The study recommends providing support to university students, by helping them identify the challenges they face, find solutions for them, and overcome them with the aim of achieving their ambitions, in a way that enhances their psychological and social adjustment.

Abstract

Reverence, also known as ta’dzim in Pondok Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), is a moral aspect which is taught to santri (students in Islamic boarding schools) as the most important value. Ta’dzim is delivered as an ethic, develops as a value, and grows to be part of a santri’s personality and standard behavior. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable Santri Reverence Morals Scale (SRMS) through the Rasch Model analysis. The scale was supervised under an expert judgement evaluation which was involved 7 experts and distributed to 95 participants (male santri aged between 13-23 years) who were selected through stratified random sampling. The Rasch Model analyzed output and the interpretation included data about instrument, items, and person. This study indicated that the Santri Reverence Morals Scale is very reliable, predominantly fits items, and is unidimensionally proven. In this paper, such shortcomings as hard items, misfit items, and bias items are also discussed and evaluated. The composite analysis of instrument, items, and abilities concluded that the SRMS is a questionnaire with high reliability and validity (the item separation value is 3.40 and Cronbach alpha score is 0.82). This initial instrument testing stage requires further development so that a high-quality questionnaire can be produced to measure and study the ta’dzim of santri.

Abstract

This research explores the impact of transpersonal psychology on the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of individuals. The study aims to understand how mindfulness, meditation, and holotropic therapy contribute to holistic well-being. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research involved 20 participants, 12 males and eight females, aged between 25 and 60 years, from various holotropic therapy centers, meditation communities, and mindfulness groups across different ethnicities in Indonesia, including Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese. Key informants included experts in transpersonal psychology; supporting informants were individuals directly engaged in these practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis with NVivo software. The findings indicate that transpersonal psychology significantly enhances participants' overall well-being by providing tools for deeper self-exploration, trauma healing, and spiritual development. Practices like mindfulness and meditation fostered present-moment awareness and emotional balance, while holotropic therapy facilitated access to higher states of consciousness and emotional processing. Integrating these practices into daily life helped individuals maintain a connection with their transpersonal awareness, even amidst daily challenges. This study underscores the importance of a holistic approach in psychology that includes the spiritual dimension, offering insights into how transpersonal psychology can support comprehensive personal growth and well-being.

Abstract

Developing a scale of interpersonal communication for Muslim students in Indonesia is very important because of the unique cultural and religious context that these students live in. Effective interpersonal communication is essential to fostering a supportive educational environment, improving peer relationships, and improving students' overall well-being. Currently there are no published research findings that specifically discuss measuring interpersonal communication among Muslim students in Indonesia. Therefore, this research aims to develop a valid and reliable Muslim Student Interpersonal Communication Scale (MSICS). MSICS was developed based on five aspects: openness, empathy, supportiveness, positivity, and equality. Content validity was assessed by two psychometric experts, and the results were analyzed using an inter-rater agreement model. Construct validity involved 432 Muslim junior high school students in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, and the data was analyzed using the Rasch model. The results of the interrater agreement model analysis show that there is agreement between two psychometric experts regarding the acceptability of the statement items in the MSICS. Furthermore, the Rasch model analysis shows that the MSICS appears as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the level of interpersonal communication among Muslim students in junior high schools in Indonesia with a variance explained by measures value of 26,7% (>20%), which means good enough to describe the measured data, and the reliability value is 0,91, which means very good. The results of this research can be used by counselors or guidance and counseling teachers to use MSICS as an instrument to measure Muslim students' interpersonal communication.

Abstract

Expressive writing, a therapeutic technique shown to alleviate emotional distress, has not been widely adopted in Islamic education despite its proven benefits. This study aims to integrate expressive writing with Islamic principles to support anxiety relief among adolescents in educational settings. Specifically, it compares the outcomes of this intervention in state schools versus Islamic schools, examines gender differences, and assesses the impact of participants’ personalities and social support on the effectiveness of the intervention. The study employed a pretest-posttest control experimental design involving 124 adolescents aged 13 to 15 years from a state school and an Islamic junior high school. Participants were selected based on self-reported anxiety symptoms measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) questionnaire, which has demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89, indicating high reliability and construct validity supported by correlations with other established anxiety measures. The intervention included expressive writing exercises integrated with Islamic teachings, and anxiety levels were measured pre and post-intervention. The results show that in the state school, the intervention significantly reduced anxiety levels, with an average decrease of 2 points in anxiety scores (p = 0.04). In the Islamic school, the intervention resulted in an average increase of 2.4 points in scores. Integrating expressive writing with Islamic principles can effectively address anxiety among students, creating a more supportive and holistic educational environment. The culturally and spiritually relevant framework enhances the therapeutic impact, indicating significant potential for this approach in both state and Islamic schools.

Abstract

Understanding the impact of family quality on adolescent religiosity and mental health is crucial for developing effective interventions and support systems, as family dynamics significantly influence religious beliefs and psychological well-being during formative years. This study investigates the influence of family quality on religiosity and mental health among high school and vocational school students in the cities of Yogyakarta and Pontianak, Indonesia, providing a representative sample of urban students with diverse backgrounds. The study employs purposive sampling techniques to select 1,795 students, with data collected using scales specifically developed to measure family quality, religiosity, and adolescent mental health. The construct validity of each item was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) within a structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, with a loading factor criterion of > 0.7 to indicate adequate validity in representing its respective construct. Reliability was assessed through Cronbach’s Alpha, yielding scores as follows: Family Quality at 0.863, Religiosity at 0.829, and Mental Health at 0.925. These values demonstrate that all three instruments exhibit a high level of reliability. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is utilized to analyze the data, accommodating complex dependent variables and inter-variable relationships. SEM analysis reveals significant positive relationships between family quality and both religiosity and mental health, highlighting the profound impact of family interactions on students' religious practices and psychological well-being. These findings emphasize the crucial role of family quality in enhancing religiosity and mental health among adolescents, suggesting that improving family dynamics could be a vital intervention strategy in educational and health domains.

Abstract

This study investigates the predictive relationship between Internet addiction and marital incompatibility among a sample of divorced women. Given the rapid technological advancements and the pervasive influence of the Internet on marital compatibility, this research examines the extent to which Internet addiction serves as a predictor for marital enhancers and inhibitors of compatibility. Utilizing a sample of 123 divorced women, the study employs the Internet Addiction Scale (IAS) (Cronbach’s alpha= .86) and the Marital Compatibility Inhibitors and Enhancers Scale (MCIES) (Cronbach’s alpha= .76, .72, respectively). The findings reveal a high prevalence of Internet addiction (M=4.23, SD=.57), elevated levels of inhibitors (M=4.18, SD=.64) affecting marital adjustment, and a diminished presence of enhancers (M=1.75, SD=.60) promoting marital compatibility. Statistical analysis demonstrates significant and robust correlations between Internet addiction and both marital adjustment inhibitors (r = .789) and enhancers (r = -.991) among divorced women. Furthermore, Internet addiction accounts for 61.9% of the variance in inhibitors and negatively correlates with 98.2% of the variance in enhancers. The study concluded that the Internet addiction affects the marital relationship, and thus negatively affecting the cohesion of the family and society.

Abstract

Leadership and work ethics, particularly Islamic or faith-based, are crucial indicators of employees’ well-being and work engagement. It increases helping behaviour through motivation and satisfaction levels achieved from a supportive work environment. The research aim is to examine the influence of Islamic leadership and Islamic work ethics on helping behaviour and work engagement through happiness at work to verify this phenomenon, data has been collected from 320 employees working with Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across central Java, Indonesia. All question items from all variables are said to be valid with a value of more than 0.7 and reliable with a value of more than 0.5. This is quantitative design research where a convenience sampling technique was employed. Statistical analysis was done through SmartPLS, revealing a direct relationship among all study variables, such as Islamic leadership, to helping behaviours and work engagement. Additionally, the study identified a direct relationship between Islamic work ethics and helping behaviours, except for a link with work engagement; similarly, employees’ happiness at the workplace acts as a mediator in this study. The hypothesis is accepted because the significance value is more than 1.97. While previous studies have examined workplace happiness and engagement broadly, limited attention has been paid to the role of faith-based leadership and ethics within SMEs in culturally diverse settings like Central Java, Indonesia. This study offers a novel perspective by discussing the pivotal role of Islamic leadership and Islamic work ethics in shaping workplace dynamics, particularly helping behaviour and engagement through happiness.

Abstract

Recently, the role of spirituality in the workplace has gained notable interest. This paper explores how career commitment mediates the impact of Islamic workplace spirituality dimensions (taqarrub, muraqabah, and istiqamah) on subjective career success among Muslim teachers in Indonesia. This study tested hypotheses using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) on data from 200 respondents (38 male, 162 female) gathered through accidental sampling. The instruments used include the Commitment Career Measure (CCM) to assess career commitment (α = 0.857–0.904), Islamic Workplace Spirituality (IWS) to measure spirituality (α = 0.822–0.836), and the Subjective Career Success Inventory (SCSI) to measure career success (α = 0.891–0.911). All instruments showed good convergent validity (AVE > 0.50) and discriminant validity (Fornell-Larcker and HTMT criteria). The results indicate that career commitment plays a mediating role between Islamic workplace spirituality, particularly istiqamah and taqarub, and subjective career success. Career commitment has a significant positive impact on career success. Both istiqamah and taqarub positively influence career commitment, which in turn enhances career success. However, muraaqabah does not significantly affect career commitment or career success. The indirect influences of istiqamah and taqarub through career commitment are also significant, while muraaqabah's indirect effect is not. The study indicates that Islamic spiritual practices in the workplace can increase commitment and success among Muslim educators. Supporting these practices can help teachers perform better and feel more satisfied with their careers. This is crucial for educational leaders and policymakers to create better school environments.
