Abstract

Mental health issues affecting university students, particularly first-year students, are increasingly concerning, with many experiencing anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Globally, approximately one in three first-year students faces these challenges. In the U.S., 22% of students receive psychiatric treatment, while in Indonesia, 10% of youth aged 15-24 report psychological problems, with suicide rates on the rise. These disorders negatively impact academic performance, emotional well-being, and social interactions, with contributing factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and gender. Unhealthy habits heighten the risk, while regular physical activity and engagement in hobbies act as protective factors. This research aims to analyze the risk factors and mental health protection of students using a data mining approach. With classification techniques, this research is expected to provide a holistic understanding of the risk factors causing mental health disorders among students and to identify the protective factors. Based on responses from 1,039 students across 15 districts in Lampung Province, the analysis identifies key risk factors including academic pressure, poor time management, heavy workloads, and lack of social support. Protective factors identified include spending time in nature, ensuring sufficient sleep, and balanced participation in student organizations. Findings suggest that universities should implement targeted mental health interventions, provide counseling services, offer workshops and peer support groups, and create a supportive, green campus environment to enhance student well-being and mitigate stress.

Abstract

This study analyzes how the Indonesian Muslim community in Australia coexists with non-Muslim communities and how their religiosity and the tendency of Islamism influence their interactions. An online survey was done to collect data by using a questionnaire involving 106 respondents, all members of religious study groups (pengajian) in Sydney. All items satisfy the criteria of validity with a correlation value greater than 0.3, and the construct is also reliable with α = 0.872, indicating good internal consistency. Analysis was done by means of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with R^2 =22.3%; the study shows that support for both religiosity and Islamism has a significant effect on attitudes toward other groups. Remarkably, Islamism is found to have a negative impact on positive attitudes towards non-Muslims (R1^2=19.15%), fortifying findings from similar research specifying that Islamists frequently oppose pluralism. In addition, the study suggests that performing obligatory rituals, such as Ramadan fasting and daily prayers, does not significantly affect positive attitudes towards non-Muslim groups (R1^2=0.052%). Nonetheless, distinct Islamic religious practices in Indonesia, e.g., yasinan, tahlilan, tasyakkuran, selametan, mawlid an-Nabi (celebrating the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday), and ziyarah, positively and significantly affect positive attitudes towards other communities in Australia (R1^2=3.055%). This reflects the nature of Indonesian Islamic religious practices that promote more tolerant and inclusive religiosity.

Abstract

In Moroccan Muslim societies, where collectivist and Islamic values shape familial roles, parental practices and family social-financial capital play a pivotal role in students’ career trajectories. However, existing measures rarely capture these intertwined dimensions within this specific socio-cultural framework. This study addresses this gap by conducting two independent studies to develop and validate two scales: the Scale of Parental Practices in Educational and Vocational Guidance (PPEVG) and the Family Social Financial Capital Scope (FSFC). The first study involved 324 Muslim high school students (55% girls) aged 17–18, enrolled in the final year of baccalaureate programs across various academic tracks, from six Moroccan regions, to validate the PPEVG. The second study included 340 Muslim students (62% girls) with the same characteristics to validate the FSFC. Both studies employed multistage cluster sampling. Exploratory (KMO=0.776 and 0.722) and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the robustness of both scales, with McDonald’s omega coefficients ranging from 0.729 to 0.785. Findings from the PPEVG showed that supportive parental practices (M=16.4) were more prevalent than interfering ones (M=12.9), with a moderate correlation (r=0.36) suggesting that parents may exhibit both behaviors. Parental education significantly influenced practices: higher paternal education correlated with stronger support, while lower maternal education increased interference. FSFC scores highlighted the critical role of socio-financial resources in enabling students' mobility beyond their home region. These findings offer culturally tailored tools for counsellors and actionable insights for policymakers to design inclusive guidance frameworks and address socio-economic disparities in collectivist contexts.

Abstract

Students in boarding schools face additional pressures due to dual curriculum, high cognitive load, personal problems such as family homesickness, feelings of not belonging, and poor sleep patterns that compound worsening student well-being. This study examines the relationship between school climate and academic hardiness with student subjective well-being, with the mediation of student engagement among students in boarding schools. Data were collected using the Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (SSWQ; CR=0.941), School Climate Scale (SCR; CR=0.895), The Academic Hardiness Scale (AHS; CR=0.921), and Student Engagement Scale (SES; CR=0.902). A total of 519 junior and senior high school students who participated in Islamic boarding school programs in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, were involved in the study. The data were analysed using AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) software to conduct structural model analysis and hypothesis validation, to evaluate the relationship between variables. The results indicated that student engagement mediates school climate and student subjective well-being. Student engagement also mediates the relationship between academic hardiness and student subjective well-being. Students in boarding schools suggested to have a positive perception of the school environment and academic hardiness in facing academic problems and challenges to achieve well-being while living in the dormitory.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Mindful Colouring Practices in reducing performance anxiety among trainee counselors at Yarmouk University in Jordan. The sample consisted of 30 trainee counselors, and a quasi-experimental design was employed to assess the effectiveness of the therapeutic intervention program. The pre-test and post-test evaluations were conducted for both the control group and the experimental group using the Performance Anxiety Scale, which was developed for trainee counselors for the purposes of this study. The results indicated the significant effectiveness of the designed program in reducing performance anxiety levels among the experimental group compared to the control group. This was reflected in the overall anxiety scale as well as in its specific domains: psychological and emotional, cognitive, and physical. Additionally, the results showed no statistically significant differences attributable to gender effects on the total scale or any of the domains, except for the psychological and emotional domain, where differences favored females. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found based on academic year in relation to the total scale or in any of the domains, except for the cognitive domain, where third-year students exhibited better results. The study also revealed that no statistically significant differences were attributable to interaction effects between the group and academic year, gender and academic year, or the interaction of group, academic year, and gender. This study highlights the potential of Mindful Colouring Practices as an effective tool for reducing performance anxiety among trainee counselors. The findings suggest that this therapeutic intervention could be a useful addition to counselor training programs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic self-efficacy and aspirational goals of Muslim high school students in Indonesia, as well as the moderating role of problem-solving and self-awareness. The background of this research is based on the importance of aspiration in determining the direction of students' education and careers. The research design employed a quantitative correlational approach to examine the relationships among the study variables. The research participants consisted of Muslim high school students selected using purposive random sampling. A total of 608 participants were involved, comprising 41.45% male and 58.55% female students, with ages ranging from 15 to 18 years. The research instruments included the academic self-efficacy, problem-solving, self-awareness, and aspiration goals scale, which were measured by the Likert scale. Data collection was conducted through both online surveys and direct administration at all participating schools, allowing students to choose the method based on their accessibility and preference. The data analysis technique used the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that academic self-efficacy positively influenced aspiration goals, and that problem-solving and self-awareness significantly moderated this relationship. The proposed research model demonstrated good fit criteria. PLS-SEM is a variance-based structural equation modeling technique that is suitable for analyzing complex models and predictive research frameworks. The conclusion of this study confirms the importance of improving self-efficacy to encourage students' aspirations. Suggestions are given for developing intervention programs that can improve the self-efficacy and aspirations of Muslim high school students in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research explored the effects of attending Qur'an memorization centers on major aspects of intact wellbeing and cognitive capabilities. The target population included four hundred healthy adult females (those Qur'an centers in the sample were female-only institutions, per the gender-segregated practices of many Muslim communities) classified into five groups according to their Qur'an level of memorization: (1) full memorization, (2) memorized 15–29 Juz’, (3) memorized 5–14 Juz’, (4) memorized 1–4 Juz’, and (5) minimal memorization limited to public schooling. They were instructed to complete a set of self-report scales and cognitive tests and a questionnaire on demographic information. A multivariate analysis of covariance showed an overall group difference in life satisfaction, happiness, and general reasoning, but not when examined individually with regard to statistical significance. Further analysis revealed that attendance at the Qur'anic memorization centers predicted life satisfaction more powerfully than happiness or cognitive abilities. In conclusion, these findings suggest that Qur'an memorization centers positively influence life satisfaction, while their influence on other cognitive and emotional factors may be more complicated. The current study indicates that the influence of religious practices on wellbeing should be considered and further research is required to examine the association between attendance at Qur'an memorization centers and the broad measures of cognitive functions.

Abstract

Student life satisfaction is a determining variable in academic success influenced by student engagement and academic engagement. However, these two seem overlap, yet are actually distinct. This Study aimed to examine how each type of engagement contributes to students life satisfaction. To do so, 524 students of Madrasah Aliyah or Islamic Senior High Schools in Indonesia, aged 15 to 18 years were observed. Their data were collected using three validated instruments, including the Student’s Life Satisfaction Scale, the Student Engagement Scale and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9S). In the analysis, hierarchical regression and Sobel's test were used. Based on the analysis, it was found that the contribution of emotional engagement dimension and the absorption dimension resulted a significant positive correlation with student’s life satisfaction (p < .01), emotional engagement (β = .440, p < .01) and absorption (β = .966, p < .01). Those directly predicted life satisfaction. In addition, parallel mediation of absorption academic engagement fully mediated the relationship between behavioral engagement and student’s life satisfaction (β = .096, z = 3.38, p < .05) and cognitive engagement and student’s life satisfaction (β = .156, z = 4.05, p < .01). In addition, absorption partially mediated the relationship between emotional engagement and student’s life satisfaction (β = .210, z = 6.90, p < .01). In conclusion, student engagement and academic engagement are not overlapping, but are distinct constructs

Abstract

The global Muslim community faces challenges in achieving well-being goals. Self-efficacy is key to encouraging active participation and empowerment, but studies examining the effectiveness of Islamic counseling in improving self-efficacy are limited. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of an Islamic counseling intervention in improving self-efficacy in the Muslim community. Using a quantitative approach with a two-group pretest-posttest design, 130 participants aged 18-45 years were divided into experimental and control groups. The intervention consisted of four group sessions, which integrate Islamic values such as tawakal and ikhtiar, reflection on Qur'anic verses, as well as modern psychological techniques such as cognitive restructuring and directed imagination. The three dimensions of self-efficacy based on Bandura's theory—level, generality, and strength—were measured using a validated questionnaire. Two-Way ANOVA analysis showed that the experimental group significantly improved on all three dimensions compared to the control group (p < 0.001), while the effects of age and age versus group interaction were not significant. Post-hoc results strengthened the differences between subgroups. The findings support the effectiveness of Islamic counseling as a values-based approach capable of strengthening self-efficacy across ages and backgrounds. This study makes a theoretical contribution by integrating Islamic spirituality into Bandura's self-efficacy framework, while offering a practical intervention model that can be applied in the mental strengthening of Muslim communities. This research shows that Islamic counseling has potential as an evidence-based approach that is relevant, contextual, and adaptive to the psychological needs of the ummah in the modern era.

Research data analyzes by using JASP 0.19.1, an open-source program for statistical analysis. The results demonstrate that the relationship between NSSI and academic procrastination, father engagement and academic procrastination, and dependent decision making and academic procrastination may all be mediated by emotion regulation. Research finding indicates the potential of emotion regulation to function as a mediator in the relationship between variables and academic procrastination. Specifically, NSSI affects academic procrastination through emotion regulation as a mediator. Similarly, father involvement influences academic procrastination when emotion regulation is considered as a mediator. Lastly, dependent decision-making impacts academic procrastination if emotion regulation serves as a mediator. In conclusion, this research contributed to showed the importance of emotion regulation in explaining the reason behind academic procrastination. Especially for vulnerable youth who have less father involvement or have performed NSSI. They may not perform academic procrastination if they have high emotion regulation.
