Abstract

The number of families raising children with autism spectrum disorder (abbreviated as ASD) is increasing, attributed to the expansion of diagnostic practices and increased awareness of autism. Research related to fathering children with ASD, is still dominated by Western society, often neglecting the realities experienced by fathers from non-Western societies. This research aims to deeply understand the experiences of muslim fathers raising children with ASD in Indonesia. A total of five Muslim fathers participated in this study. The sample size provides sufficient power to yield in-depth qualitative insights into the nuances of the challenges they face in their experience as fathers through detailed interviews. The data were analyzed using a thematic model, and four main themes were identified, reflecting Muslim fathers' experiences in raising children with ASD. The themes are: 'It's Just the Beginning,' highlighting the initial challenges; 'The Impact of Having a Child with ASD,' which explores emotional, physical and social repercussions; 'Focus on Advocating for Children,' indicating their active role in fulfilling children's rights; and 'Life Must Go On,' emphasizing resilience to continue living despite facing challenges. Each theme is interconnected, revealing the profound journey these fathers navigate. The characteristics of fathers, religion, education level, social value systems, culture, and the severity level of the child's condition Influence the fathers' experiences in raising children with ASD. This study encourages greater inclusion of religious and cultural considerations in discussions about fathering children with autism, serving as a basis for developing support systems and interventions.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a tool to diagnose spinsterhood anxiety among Muslim girls. A group of experts (n=26) evaluated these items to verify content validity. The items were shortened to 29 items. Two separate samples were subsequently selected: the first was used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), while the second was used for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results revealed that 26 items explained five factors, representing 72.30% of the total variance. These factors were named family, personal, physical, sexual, and financial. The results also showed that the CFA provided positive confirmation of convergent validity and reliability, with significant evidence to support these statistics for the relationships between the Spinsterhood Anxiety Scale (SAS and the Beck Depression Inventory Arabic Version (BDI-ArV), Beck Anxiety Inventory Arabic Version (BAI-ArV), Well-Being (WB), and Arab Scale of Mental Health (ArS-MH) scales. Cronbach's alpha values for the five factors ranged between 0.88 and 0.75, while the total score was 0.91. The correlations between the SAS and the five factors were also significant. The scale predicted 79% of all BDI-ArV, BAI-ArV, WB, and ArS-MH. The study concluded that the SAS has suitable psychometric properties for diagnosis.

Abstract

Psychological well-being is understood differently across cultural contexts, yet many culturally grounded frameworks remain conceptually described rather than empirically tested. One such framework is Pancawaluya, a Sundanese indigenous model that defines well-being through five core values: Cageur (physical and mental health), Bageur (kindness and prosocial conduct), Bener (moral integrity), Pinter (knowledge and wisdom), and Singer (creativity and adaptability). Although these values are widely recognized in Sundanese philosophy and practice, their structure as a measurable psychological construct has not been systematically validated. This study examined the factor structure and internal consistency of the Pancawaluya Scale using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Data were collected from 305 respondents and analyzed using LISREL. The results supported a five-factor model with satisfactory model fit indices (RMSEA = 0.031; CFI = 0.985; GFI = 0.958). Composite reliability indicated strong internal consistency, while AVE values suggested acceptable convergent validity for an indigenous construct in an early validation stage. The findings indicate that Pancawaluya can be operationalized as a coherent indigenous well-being construct. Its dimensions are theoretically discussed in relation to Islamic counseling principles, suggesting conceptual alignment in moral and spiritual values. This study provides an initial empirical foundation for future culturally grounded counseling research.

Abstract

Substance use rehabilitation is commonly approached through biomedical and psychosocial frameworks, with comparatively limited attention to how moral and spiritual meanings are constructed within recovery processes. In contexts where religious belief systems are embedded in everyday life, recovery may involve not only behavioral change but also the reinterpretation of self, responsibility, and life purpose. This study explores how individuals undergoing rehabilitation interpret and make sense of their recovery experiences through a da’wah counseling approach. An interpretive qualitative study was conducted at the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in Lampung, Indonesia. Data were generated through in-depth interviews involving counselors and clients undergoing rehabilitation. Analysis focused on interpreting how participants understood and negotiated their experiences, using an iterative process of coding, comparison, and thematic interpretation. Findings indicate that da’wah counseling was experienced by participants as a process of moral and spiritual meaning-making rather than solely as religious instruction. Through guided reflection and value-oriented dialogue, clients reinterpreted their past behaviors, reframed recovery as a form of moral responsibility, and reconstructed a sense of self aligned with religious and social values. Practices such as remembrance (dzikir), repentance (taubah), and trust in God (tawakkul) were not only performed but imbued with personal meaning, serving as resources for managing emotional distress and sustaining behavioral change. Participants described recovery as a process of becoming more self-aware, emotionally regulated, and oriented toward purposeful living. These findings do not claim effectiveness but offer interpretive insight into how recovery is shaped through moral and spiritual meaning-making within a specific cultural and institutional context. The study contributes to culturally responsive counseling by illustrating how religious concepts can function as interpretive resources through which individuals understand and sustain change.

Abstract

While positive emotions and test anxiety have been extensively studied in educational psychology, the mechanisms linking these constructs remain insufficiently understood, particularly within Islamic higher education. This study investigated whether academic resilience mediates the relationship between positive emotions and test anxiety among Muslim undergraduate students at Al-Azhar University. A cross-sectional design was employed with 300 students (144 males, 156 females; Mage = 20.20, SD = 0.94) from the Faculty of Education, Al-Azhar University, Egypt. Participants completed the Academic Resilience Scale-30, a newly developed 27-item Arabic Positive Emotion Scale, and the Multidimensional Test Anxiety Scale. Mediation analysis using Hayes' PROCESS macro with 5,000 bootstrap samples revealed significant correlations: positive emotions correlated positively with academic resilience (r =.489, p <.001) and negatively with test anxiety (r = -.322, p <.001), while academic resilience negatively correlated with test anxiety (r = -.290, p <.001). The analysis confirmed partial mediation, with positive emotions significantly predicting academic resilience (β =.489, p <.001), which in turn predicted reduced test anxiety (β = -.174, p =.005). The indirect effect was significant (β = -.085), accounting for 26.42% of the total effect, while the direct effect remained significant (β = -.237, p <.001), representing 73.58% of the relationship. Results demonstrate that academic resilience is a partial mediator, with positive emotions operating through direct and indirect pathways to reduce test anxiety. These findings reveal significant associations among positive emotions, academic resilience, and test anxiety, suggesting that these constructs may be potential targets for future anxiety interventions that could integrate immediate positive emotion strategies (e.g., gratitude practices, spiritual mindfulness) and longer-term resilience-building components (e.g., adaptive help-seeking, perseverance development) within Islamic educational frameworks, though longitudinal and intervention research is needed to establish causal relationships and intervention effectiveness.

Abstract

Up to present, guidance and counseling (GC) services in Islamic schools tend to be homogeneous, often overlooking the diversity of students’ characteristics. This practice overlooks the effectiveness of differentiated guidance. Key factors worth considering for differentiating guidance services are numeracy skills and growth mindset (GM). In this regard, this study aims to: (1) cluster students based on their numeracy skills and GM with K-means techniques; (2) interpret the clusters’ characteristics; and (3) recommend data-driven GC service strategies. Quantitative method K-means clustering was applied to 321 grade VIII students from Islamic junior secondary schools in two provinces in Indonesia. Data from numeracy test and GM questionnaire were analyzed using the Elbow, Silhouette, Kruskal-Wallis, and Dunn post-hoc methods. The result of the study revealed three student clusters: (1) low numeracy and low GM (Double Susceptible); (2) high numeracy and moderate-to-high GM (Empowered); and (3) low numeracy but high GM (Affective Potential). Findings confirm that numeracy skills and GM do not always align, underscoring the need for integrated cognitive and affective interventions. Significant differences in numeracy skills and GM distribution were found between clusters. The different characteristics between clusters lead to diverse service strategies offered for each cluster. These strategies include a cognitive distortion journaling and belief disputes for double susceptible students; career visualization and leadership simulation for empowered students; and mathematical mindfulness and emotion regulation for affective potential students. Data-driven GC services are crucial in supporting students' academic and psychological development.

Abstract

Religion can support mental well-being, yet social media exposes students to diverse religious messages whose psychological effects may differ by content type. Prior research often treats religion as a single construct and seldom examines how specific online religious content relates to anxiety and burnout. This study investigated associations between distinct categories of religious content on social media and levels of anxiety and burnout among students at Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKI) in Lampung, Indonesia. A quantitative survey of 1,098 PTKI students assessed exposure to five content types: compassion–tranquility, educational, inspirational–motivational, fear–punishment, and ritual–worship. Anxiety and burnout were measured using the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A; α=.91) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey (MBI-SS; α=.86). Hierarchical multiple regression tested linear, quadratic, and interaction effects, adjusting for age, institutional type, platform, frequency, and daily duration. For anxiety (final R²=.037), motivational content predicted lower anxiety, whereas fear–punishment—and to a lesser extent educational—content predicted higher anxiety. Compassion–tranquility and ritual–worship were non-significant. For burnout (final R²=.079), the control variables explained most of the variance. Daily social media duration was positively associated with burnout, and platform differences emerged (higher on Facebook, lower on YouTube compared with TikTok). Private PTKI students reported lower burnout than state PTKI students. Although no nonlinear or interaction effects were found for anxiety, burnout showed curvilinear patterns (Compassion²↑, Fear²↓) and buffering by motivational content. Overall, associations between religious content exposure and mental health were small yet consistent. Findings suggest value in promoting motivational, skills-oriented messages, limiting fear-based framing, tailoring content to platform dynamics, and encouraging balanced screen time. Future research should incorporate broader psychosocial factors and longitudinal designs to clarify causal mechanisms.

Abstract

Low psychological well-being and elevated help-seeking behaviors among students in Islamic boarding schools underscore the necessity for effective psychological support systems. This study assesses the effectiveness of a character strengths-based peer counseling intervention in enhancing students' psychological well-being within Islamic boarding school settings. Grounded in the principles of positive psychology and aligned with Islamic educational values, the intervention emphasizes five core character strengths (gratitude, hope, zest, curiosity, and love) delivered through a peer counseling framework. Employing a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, the study involved 81 first-year students (ages 13-17) from three pesantren in Semarang, randomly assigned to experimental (n = 45) and control (n = 36) groups. The Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1989) was used to measure six dimensions of well-being. Data were analyzed via Two-Way ANOVA to evaluate the intervention's impact over time. Results indicated significant improvements in psychological well-being within the experimental group (p < .01), with a notable post-test mean score increase of 13.53 points, interaction effect with η²p = 0.049. This value approaches the moderate category. These findings substantiate that character strengths-based peer counseling is an effective and culturally appropriate intervention for promoting mental health in faith-based educational environments. The study contributes to applying positive psychology in non-Western contexts, emphasizing the potential of peer-led models to enhance adolescents' emotional resilience, interpersonal relationships, and religious character development. The study's limitations and potential directions for future research are also discussed to improve the generalizability and sustainability of the intervention.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital platforms has transformed the landscape of counseling services in higher education, creating an urgent need to understand their acceptance, especially among Muslim university students in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the influence of critical thinking and academic performance on technology acceptance in online counseling, with a focus on the mediating role of digital literacy. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through purposive random sampling from 815 Muslim university students (49 % male; 51% female) at Universitas Negeri Padang and analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study employed validated scales for critical thinking, academic performance, digital literacy, and technology acceptance, all of which showed high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.90). The findings supported the proposed hypotheses, showing that both critical thinking and academic performance significantly influenced digital literacy and technology acceptance. Digital literacy also acted as a significant mediator linking these variables to technology acceptance, confirming its central role in the model. These results underscore the importance of fostering digital competence and academic readiness in promoting effective adoption of online counseling services. The study highlights the need for culturally sensitive digital interventions that align with the ethical and spiritual values of Muslim university students.

Abstract

Concerns about the psychological well-being of university students, especially Muslim students in Indonesia and Malaysia, make it important to understand factors that can support their well-being on campus. This study employed a quantitative design with path analysis to test the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between growth-mindset, interpersonal communication, and school well-being. Data were collected from 433 Muslim students (241 from Indonesia and 192 from Malaysia), aged 18–25 years, through purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 89 men and 344 women across different academic years. Four validated instruments were used: the Growth-Mindset Scale (8 items, α = 0.81), Interpersonal Communication Scale (38 items, α = 0.84), Self-Efficacy Scale (17 items, α = 0.88), and School Well-being Scale (43 items, α = 0.89). Data analysis was performed using Hayes’ PROCESS macro (Model 4). The results indicated that growth-mindset and interpersonal communication both positively influenced self-efficacy. However, neither growth-mindset nor interpersonal communication had a direct effect on school well-being. Instead, both factors exerted significant indirect effects through self-efficacy, indicating full mediation. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-efficacy by promoting a growth-mindset and enhancing interpersonal communication skills to improve students’ school well-being.
