Abstract

Social media has become an important part of students' lives in today's internet era, helping them meet their academic, social, and entertainment needs. However, excessive exposure to social media can cause fatigue, known as Social Media Fatigue (SMF), which affects students’ behavioural, cognitive, and emotional levels. This study aimed to analyse the level of social media fatigue based on demographics and technology access patterns. This research used a quantitative descriptive survey design with stratum random sampling technique by taking samples from various batches or years of student entry to the University. A total of 386 students participated, consisting of various batches or years of student entry (Year 2021 = 143 / 37.1%; 2022 = 97 / 25.1; 2023 = 80 / 20.7; 2024 = 66 / 17.1). The scale used in this study is the Social Media Fatigue scale (SMFS). Data were analysed using descriptive analysis with the help of JASP 0.19.3 software. The findings of this study indicated that the level of social media fatigue in students is high. Cognitive experience has the highest mean value among the three components of SMF, compared to emotional and behavioural experiences. In addition, findings suggested a tendency towards Emotional Experience, which may indicate that social media has a greater impact on their emotional well-being. Moreover, long access duration may worsen the consequences of social media fatigue.

Abstract

Despite the growing recognition of academic boredom as a factor influencing student engagement and achievement, there is still a lack of culturally adapted and validated instruments for use in religious and highly structured educational settings such as Islamic boarding schools. Most existing tools were developed in general, non-boarding, and secular school contexts, primarily in Western countries that differ significantly from the cultural and educational characteristics of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to adapt and test the validity and reliability of the 16-item Academic Boredom subscale of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) among Islamic boarding school students in Indonesia. A total of 408 students from Islamic Boarding Schools in East Java, Indonesia participated in the study. This process adaptation involved several stages, including double translation, expert review, a readability test and construct confirmation. The data were analysed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) method, as well as with reliability tests using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega. The model fit indices (CFI = 0.919; TLI = 0.901; RMSEA = 0.071) and high internal consistency (α = 0.906; ω = 0.917) indicate that the adapted Academic Boredom subscale is valid and reliable for use in Islamic boarding school students in Indonesia. The implications of the study indicate that the adapted AEQ scale can be used as a diagnostic assessment tool for academic boredom in Islamic boarding school-based junior high school student, as well as supporting the development of affection-based learning interventions in Islamic Boarding School.

Abstract

Child marriage represents a significant social concern with persistent consequences for the well-being of women and children.  It adversely influences young mothers’ quality of life and their parenting practices, particularly their confidence and readiness to fulfill parental responsibilities effectively. However, limited research has systematically examined how resilience and distinct types of social support influence parenting self-efficacy (PSE) among this vulnerable population. This study aims to examine the distinct and combined contributions of resilience and social support to PSE, systematically comparing the effects of each support type on PSE among young mothers who have experienced child marriage. Furthermore, it explores how demographic factors, including marital status and reasons for marriage, are associated with variations in PSE. A cross-sectional design with purposive sampling was employed, with a sample of 110 young mothers who experience child marriage. Structured questionnaires were administered, including demographic items, the Early Intervention Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Social Provisions Scale. Multiple regression analysis, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), was conducted to assess the factors influencing PSE. The results indicate that resilience and social support significantly predict PSE (R² = .630, p < .01), with social support emerging as the strongest predictor. These findings suggest that enhancing resilience and social support for young mothers can substantially improve their parenting efficacy.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, universities in Indonesia are expected to produce graduates who are academically excellent and equipped with employability skills grounded in Islamic values. This dual expectation necessitates the development of assessment tools that align educational outcomes with religious and cultural contexts. However, existing employability scales often fail to capture the ethical and spiritual dimensions vital for Muslim students. This study aimed to develop and validate an Islamic value-based student employability scale that integrates core employability skills, Islamic work ethics, workplace spirituality, resilience, and motivation. Item development was based on a comprehensive literature review and expert consultation to ensure theoretical relevance and cultural appropriateness. The Rasch model was employed to provide accurate, bias-free measurement and to confirm unidimensionality. A cross-sectional design involving 1,192 students from 26 public Islamic universities in Indonesia was used, with data collected through an online questionnaire. Rasch analysis demonstrated strong validity and reliability (item reliability = 1.00; person reliability = 0.90), confirming the scale's ability to measure a single core construct. The Islamic value-based employability scale offers a psychometrically sound tool for assessing Muslim students' workplace readiness. It provides practical insights for Islamic higher education curriculum development and policy design.

Abstract

Individuals with mild intellectual disability (MID) experience elevated rates of anxiety that adversely affect emotional well-being and social participation. Although Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is well-established for anxiety in the general population, evidence for its use with individuals with MID remains limited. This case series explored the feasibility and preliminary clinical outcomes of an adapted CBT intervention for anxiety in adolescents with MID. Four adolescents (aged 14 years) with clinically significant anxiety received seven sessions of CBT adapted through simplified language, visual supports, repetition, role-play, and caregiver involvement. Anxiety was assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up using the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for People with an Intellectual Disability (GAS-ID). Individual change was evaluated using the Reliable Change Index (RCI). Qualitative data from participant worksheets and supporter interviews were analyzed thematically. All participants demonstrated reliable reductions in anxiety symptoms that were maintained at follow-up. Qualitative findings suggested improvements in emotional awareness, social participation, and coping skills. These findings indicate that adapted CBT may be feasible and potentially beneficial for adolescents with MID, warranting further evaluation in controlled studies.

Abstract

After graduation from secondary school, students face the decision of selecting a university major, which may be influenced by factors beyond personal preferences, including herd behavior. Although previous research has identified various social and contextual influences on major choice, limited attention has been given to herd behavior as a distinct psychological mechanism, and there remains a lack of culturally grounded instruments to measure this construct, particularly within Middle Eastern contexts. The aims of this study were to construct a scale for the herd behavior effect on students’ university major choice (HBMC) and to explore any differences in this effect according to gender and college. A ten-item scale developed by the researcher was administered to a sample of 1,254 students from six universities in Jordan.  Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the unidimensional structure for the HBMC scale, and its good psychometric properties (α = 0.953). The results also indicated significant gender differences in the herd behavior effect, in favor of males (F = 5.281, df = 1, p < 0.01). These results highlight the importance of psychological and vocational guidance programs to enhance secondary school students’ independent thinking in selecting their university major according to their inclinations, abilities, aspirations, and their plans of professional future, rather than blindly imitating of others.

Abstract

Counselor Students, while seen as key providers of counseling and guidance services in educational settings, frequently face challenges stemming from insufficient self-care practices. The absence of these practices often leads to psychological difficulties that compromise their ability to fully embody the characteristics of effective counselors. This situation raises concerns about counselor students’ readiness to assume professional responsibilities and maintain long-term effectiveness in their roles. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the impact of self-awareness, self-efficacy, and social support on the self-care of prospective counselor students, and to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework tailored specifically to their needs. This study employed an Ex Post Facto Causal Relationship Explanatory design. A sample of 277 students (38 males and 239 females) was selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using four validated and reliable instruments—the Self-Efficacy Scale, the Self-Awareness Scale, Sarafino's Social Support Scale, and the Mindful Self-Care Scale. Data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between the variables. The obtained results showed that significant relationships existed between self-awareness, self-efficacy, and social support with self-care. This research underscored the significance of harmonizing the pre-service Guidance and Counseling education curriculum with the sole purpose of cultivating self-care practices among students through synchronized learning.

Abstract

This study examines the resilience of Indonesian Migrant Worker (PMI) families in Taiwan and the strategies they apply in long-distance parenting. Using Henry’s family resilience model, it analyzes family risks, vulnerabilities, protection, adaptation, and socio-ecological factors. Data were collected through interviews with 25 PMIs in Taiwan, 25 left-behind children and 25 caregivers in Indonesia. The findings show that migration-related family risks are rooted in structural poverty, gendered labor regimes, and marital disruption, while vulnerability is shaped by low educational attainment, weak communication, and limited caregiving capacity. Religion emerges as a crucial protective resource in transnational family life. Beyond emotional coping, religious values provide moral guidance, sustain parental authority, shape caregiving practices, and support meaning-making across distance through practices such as religious instruction, pesantren-based (Islamic Boarding) care, and faith-informed role modeling. Family adaptation depends not only on individual agency but also on socio-ecological support, including faith-based organizations and migrant networks. The study extends family resilience theory by demonstrating how religion strengthens resilience processes in transnational families and highlights the importance of culturally grounded interventions for migrant family welfare.

Abstract

Adolescents from divorced or conflict-affected families in Indonesia often experience academic anxiety rooted in emotional instability and limited family support. This challenge is especially pronounced in Javanese cultural settings, where harmony, acceptance, and spiritual balance are central to well-being. However, research on school counselling in Indonesia remain largely generic, often neglecting these cultural and spiritual dimensions that shape students’ emotional resilience. To address this gap, the present study explores the Junggringan Kawruh Jiwo (JKJ) counselling method, a culturally grounded approach that integrates Islamic spirituality and Javanese indigenous values to support students from broken families in managing academic anxiety. JKJ combines Ki Ageng Suryomentaram’s concept of kawruh jiwa (self-awareness and emotional responsibility), Islamic spiritual practices (dhikr, prayer, and reflection on Qur’anic verses), and Javanese principles (nrimo, ngalah, sabar) into a holistic therapeutic framework. Six students (aged 16-18) from divorced or conflict-affected families and three experienced school counsellors, purposively recruited through school administrations based on their prior work with such students, participated from three vocational schools in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of reflective journals (February-April 2025). Credibility was enhanced through triangulation across data sources and validation via member checking and expert consultation in Javanese cultural and counselling traditions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and reflective journal analysis between February and April 2025. Credibility was enhanced through triangulation of data sources and verification of interpretations via member checking and expert consultation in Javanese culture and counselling practice. The findings reveal that JKJ counselling enabled students to recognise and regulate anxiety through reflective dialogue, spiritual practices, and culturally resonant exercises promoting acceptance and self-awareness. Counsellors’ empathetic engagement fostered emotional safety and trust. Collectively, these results indicate that JKJ represents a culturally responsive counselling framework with potential to enhance the psychological support available to adolescents from broken families in Indonesia.

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue in Jordan, yet research on perpetrator cognition remains limited. While prior abuse is a known risk factor, its association with how perpetrators explain their own violence specifically through causal attributions is underexplored in this context. This study aimed to examine the associations between prior abuse experiences and causal attributions among service-attending husbands in Jordan who have perpetrated IPV. A descriptive correlational design was employed with a convenience sample of 120 husbands recruited from rehabilitation and judicial services. Participants completed the Abuse Experiences Inventory (AEI) and the Causal Attribution Inventory (CAI), with data analyzed using Pearson correlations. Results indicated moderate levels across all attribution dimensions (internal, external, stable, unstable). Domestic abuse was the most reported prior experience. Weak but statistically significant positive correlations were found between all abuse domains and attribution dimensions (r = .186–.206, p < .05), with the strongest link between domestic abuse and external attributions. These findings suggest a modest association between abuse history and attribution styles, highlighting the potential value of addressing cognitive factors in perpetrator interventions without diminishing personal accountability. The study contributes to a nuanced understanding of IPV perpetrators in Jordan and underscores the need for longitudinal research to clarify these relationships.
