Abstract

Prosocial behavior voluntary actions intended to benefit others plays a vital role in adolescents’ social skills, emotional well-being, and constructive interpersonal relationships. Adolescents with high prosociality tend to exhibit lower negative emotions and stronger social development. However, limited research has examined this phenomenon among Muslim university students. Guided by Domain Theory, this study investigates the influence of self-control, subjective well-being, happiness, and life satisfaction on prosocial behavior in Indonesian Muslim students. A cross-sectional design with convenience sampling recruited 300 Muslim university students (84 males, 28%; 216 females, 72%) aged 17–24 years (M = 19, SD = 1.23). Participants completed the Prosocial Tendencies Measure (PTM), Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB), Orientation to Happiness Scale (OTH), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), all adapted to the Indonesian context with acceptable reliability. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results showed that subjective well-being (β = -0.169, p = 0.031) and happiness (β = 0.498, p = 0.000) significantly influenced prosocial behavior. Self-control (β = -0.058, p = 0.333) and life satisfaction (β = 0.119, p = 0.081) showed no significant effect. Indonesian Muslim students who reported higher levels of subjective well-being and happiness were more likely to engage in prosocial behavior. However, the research model hasn’t optimally explained the relationship between variables, as there are still other factors that can influence them.

Abstract

In Indonesia, rising dual-income families increase potential marital conflicts, yet few studies explore how Islamic psychological perspectives (happiness and gratitude) explain marital resilience. This highlights the urgency of examining wives’ perceptions of husbands’ support and its impact on gratitude. This study aims to examine the influence of wives’ happiness and husbands’ social support on gratitude among working Muslim wives. Employing a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, this study specifically involved married, moslem, working women with children as the study's population. Sampling was done by non-probability sampling technique where the number of samples in the study was 225 married Muslim working women with children. The instrument in this study uses the adoption of the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6, α = 0.82), Husband’s Social Support Scale (32 items, α = 0.91), and Islamic Happiness Scale (18 items, α = 0.88) and analysis with multiple linear regression (SPSS 22). All instruments were validated through expert judgment and pilot testing. Regression analysis confirmed that both happiness (β = 0.128, p = 0.004) and husband’s social support (β = 0.743, p = 0.000) significantly predicted gratitude (R² = 0.648). These findings support the study hypotheses and demonstrate the role of emotional and relational factors as social capital in sustaining marital harmony within an Islamic framework. Good interpersonal relations, as shown through the attitude of gratitude of husband, and wife, are social capital in achieving happiness.

Abstract

Despite the widespread prevalence of academic anxiety among university students, existing measurement instruments often fail to adequately capture contemporary academic stressors or exhibit consistent validity across cultural and disciplinary contexts. This study developed and validated the Students’ Academic Anxiety Scale (SAAS), a multidimensional tool designed to comprehensively assess academic anxiety in diverse university populations. Scale development followed established psychometric procedures, including literature review, student interviews, and expert evaluations. A total of 631 students participated, divided into exploratory (n = 315) and confirmatory (n = 316) samples. The analyses revealed a stable three-factor structure-cognitive, physiological, and behavioral dimensions-with excellent model fit indices (CFI = 0.956, TLI = 0.949, RMSEA = 0.035, SRMR = 0.038). Internal consistency was high across all dimensions (Cronbach’s α > 0.80), while convergent and discriminant validity were confirmed. Measurement invariance across gender and academic disciplines further supported the scale’s cross-group applicability. The SAAS thus represents a psychometrically sound, culturally adaptable, and up-to-date instrument for identifying academic anxiety, facilitating early recognition and targeted interventions among university students.

Abstract

This study evaluated the psychometric properties and measurement fairness of a 25-item academic stress scale among Generation Z undergraduate students at three Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions. Using a cross-sectional design with a final analytical sample of 401 participants (after person-fit screening from an initial N = 517), data were analyzed using the Rasch Rating Scale Model (RSM) to assess rating scale category functioning, item fit, person–item targeting, reliability, and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) across sex, age group, semester, and current living arrangement. Andrich thresholds advanced monotonically (−1.07, −0.79, 0.61, 1.25 logits), confirming that all five response categories represent psychometrically distinct levels of academic stress. Of 25 items, 21 demonstrated acceptable fit; the four misfitting items were concentrated in the Social and Academic Support dimension, consistent with the context-sensitivity of support perceptions in Islamic educational settings. Scale reliability was adequate for group-level research (person reliability = .85; item reliability = .98; Cronbach's α = .88; person separation = 2.41), and person–item targeting was satisfactory (person mean = 0.33 logits). DIF analysis identified seven items with significant sex-based non-equivalence, 17 and 16 items with substantive DIF measure ranges across age group and semester, respectively, and two items with residence-based DIF, collectively indicating that academic stress items function differently across demographic subgroups, particularly for institutional help-seeking, family support, anxiety expression, and time management. These findings demonstrate that while the scale possesses adequate psychometric quality for population screening, measurement invariance is partially violated, and raw-score comparisons across subgroups should be interpreted with caution. Academic stress assessment in Indonesian Islamic higher education should integrate demographic and developmental context, including academic stage and spiritual coping resources, to ensure fair and clinically meaningful score interpretation.
