(2) Communication management at the interpersonal layer is reflected in routine communication, which is key to maintaining the marital relationship. (3) Communication management at the people in system layer shows that work influences the smoothness of communication between couples. (4) Communication management at the competencelayer is demonstrated through emotional regulation, attitudes, thoughts, and varying conflict resolution strategies for each couple. (5) Factors that hinder communication in LDM couples include distance, work related busyness, and limited signal availability.

Abstract

This study aims to describe Generation Z's perceptions of communication ethics in delivering messages on social media. Using a quantitative approach, the research was conducted with active students at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY). The study employed multistage sampling, selecting 394 students from eight faculties: FIPP, FISHIPOL, FIKK, FT, FMIPA, FBSB, FEB, and FV. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The validity test indicated that six out of 32 items were invalid, leaving 26 valid items for further analysis. The reliability test yielded a coefficient of 0.858, signifying high reliability. Descriptive percentage statistical techniques were used for data analysis. Results showed that 51% of students had a high perception of communication ethics, while 49% had a low perception. Key aspects of communication ethics assessed included politeness in language, avoiding emotional triggers, caution in posting information, refraining from offensive content related to ethnicity, religion, race, and inter-group relations, and discretion in sharing personal photos. The study concludes that although most students display ethical awareness in their social media communication, nearly half still need improvement. It recommends enhancing educational programs and awareness initiatives to promote stronger ethical practices among Generation Z.

Abstract

Drug trafficking and substance abuse represent significant challenges, particularly in regions highly vulnerable to these issues. Pulau Negara, identified as a drug-prone area within Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, frequently experiences incidents of illicit drug trafficking and abuse. The persistence of these drug-related activities can be attributed to the community's insufficient social resilience. This study aims to (1) analyze the current state of social resilience in Pulau Negara; (2) identify the multilevel vulnerability factors contributing to this issue; and (3) propose strategies to enhance the community's resilience against drug-related threats. The findings reveal that social resilience in Pulau Negara is critically weak, influenced by a range of vulnerabilities at the individual, family, and community levels. Key factors include economic pressures, peer influence, unstable family structures, and a lack of supportive community infrastructure. The proposed strategies adopt a comprehensive approach, encouraging collaboration among stakeholders such as local authorities, law enforcement, and community leaders to build a more resilient social framework. By addressing these vulnerabilities holistically, the recommended interventions aim to reduce the community's susceptibility to drug-related activities and promote sustainable social resilience.

Abstract

Each ethnic group in Indonesia has its own customs and culture that form its identity. The presence of these two ethnic groups in the same geographical area has created interesting social and cultural dynamics to study, particularly in terms of the norms of communication they have established in their daily lives. This study aims to analyze the intercultural communication norms of the Javanese and Minang ethnic groups and identify the strategies used to overcome differences in communication norms. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection conducted through direct observation, in-depth interviews with community leaders from both ethnic groups, and sources from scientific articles. The results of the study found that the Javanese and Minang ethnic communities in Jorong Timbulun Atas use two methods of communication accommodation, namely convergent and divergent adaptation strategies in intercultural communication, with Indonesian as the everyday language because it is a language that can be understood by people of different cultures. It can be concluded that the Javanese ethnic group, with its refined, polite, and gentle characteristics, and the Minang ethnic group, with its assertive nature, can coexist in the same geographical space, creating social dynamics.

Abstract

Forgiveness is widely recognized as a psychological process that enhances emotional well-being by reducing resentment and suppressing retaliatory impulses. Rooted in empathy and cognitive reappraisal, forgiveness is believed to mitigate negative evaluations of offenders. This study examines the relationship between forgiveness, psychological well-being, and aggression among young adults at the University of Balochistan, Quetta. A correlational research design was used, and a simple random sample of 200 students (100 males and 100 females) was selected. The Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Aggression Scale were administered. Pearson correlations revealed a significant positive relationship between forgiveness and psychological well-being, and a significant negative relationship between forgiveness and aggression. Reliability coefficients ranged between .80 and .86, indicating strong internal consistency. Independent sample t-tests also demonstrated notable gender differences across the study variables. The findings suggest that forgiveness contributes to enhanced psychological well-being and reduced aggressive tendencies among young adults. Promoting forgiveness-related skills may help foster emotional stability, life satisfaction, and healthier interpersonal behaviors within university populations.

Abstract

In the late modern era, identity is closely intertwined with consumption, shifting it from sustenance to a vital marker of individuality and a platform for showcasing fashion opulence in the social space. This study is an attempt to understand the mechanisms through which youth consumers shape their identities. Deploying a mixed-method approach, we gathered quantitative data through interviews administered by a semi-structured survey questionnaire. Complementing this, qualitative insights were gathered through in-depth interviews (IDI). Adopting a purposive sampling method frame, we interviewed 150 individuals (89 male, 61 female) from Dhanmondi, Dhaka, between March and April 2022. The objective was to unveil people’s attitudes, social norms, and behavioral influences shaping their intentions towards identity formation through consumption. Findings highlight that individuals’ attitudes and behavioral control serve as key predictors for their intention to mold a desired identity through consumption. The perception of one’s consumption as socially commendable, coupled with the approval of others, strongly influences this intention. In addition, perceived behavioral control emerged as a crucial predictor of the inclination to forge a desired identity. Notably, middle-class youths displayed a calculated and rational approach in their purchasing decisions, reflecting a strategic stance towards consumption. In-depth interviews show that social acceptance, identity expression, and feelings of fulfillment have significant effects on respondents' consumption practices, even though many oppose the idea that luxury consumption and mental well-being are positively associated. While shopping malls function as social and emotional spaces, people exhibit ambivalence, balancing desires for self-presentation and societal conformity with claims to independent selfhood. The study reveals that the late modern consumer society has ushered in changes conducive to conspicuous consumption. However, despite this trend, urban middle-class youths appear to align more with conventional consumer behaviour in many aspects. The pinnacle of conspicuous consumption has not yet been attained among this demographic, which suggests the evolving landscape in their consumption patterns.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of democracy learning in Indonesia by emphasizing the importance of citizen involvement in democratic processes, particularly through public demonstrations. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, observations, and a comprehensive literature review as data collection methods. The data were derived from reports on public protests in both print and online media, as well as expert interviews relevant to the issue. The findings indicate a notable shift in the patterns of youth participation in political engagement. In addition to conventional forms of protest, such as physical demonstrations, contemporary participation has increasingly expanded into digital spaces, where efforts to amplify issues through social media virality play a crucial role in mobilizing public support. Furthermore, the study identifies a transformation in the language and style of protest among Indonesian youth compared to those observed during the Reform Era. These demonstrations reflect a rational expression of citizens’ concerns toward national issues, representing an important dimension of civic competence in a democratic society.
