Abstract

This study investigated the help-seeking attitude of undergraduates at the University of Ilorin Nigeria toward mental health issues. The study employed a descriptive survey design. A multistage sampling method was used in selecting a total of 400 participants. The demographic data and research questions were examined using percentage distribution. The hypotheses were tested using t-tests and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical methods at a significance level of 0. 05. The help-seeking attitude of respondents towards mental health difficulties did not vary significantly based on gender. However, there were substantial differences depending on age, degree of study, and students' place of residence. The vast majority of undergraduates rather talk to friends and family about their mental health problems than seek psychotherapy or medical help. School counsellors need to educate students on the significance of seeking help from trained mental health professionals.

Abstract

In recent years, the use of social media and the internet has become an inseparable part of everyday life, especially among adolescents. Social media offers a variety of benefits, including ease of communication, access to information, and entertainment. However, concerns have emerged about its negative impact on mental health, especially in relation to self-harm behavior. Adolescents often imitate the trend of self-harm and join in posting the results of scratches on social media. The aim of this study was to determine variations in self-harm in adolescents which are related to the duration of internet use in one day and the use of social media. The research method uses a comparative descriptive approach and Two-Way ANOVA analysis to explore interactions between these variables. Data was collected through an online survey with a self-harm instrument consisting of 18 statements, with respondents choosing from 4 alternative answers available. The results of the analysis show that there are significant differences in self-harm behavior based on the duration of internet use per day and the type of social media used. Adolescents who use the TikTok platform show a higher self-harm score compared to other platforms, especially with longer duration of internet use. These findings indicate that the type and way of using social media has a significant influence on self-harm behavior.

Abstract

This study synthesizes the literature on positive self-talk in adolescents. The research aimed to comprehensively understand descriptive forms and strategies to increase positive self-talk in adolescents. The method used in this research was Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by searching relevant articles through Scopus, Taylor & Francis Group, and Sage databases. The search was limited based on predetermined inclusion criteria, and 30 articles were obtained by peer review. The research design used was Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analytics (PRISMA). The results demonstrated that the form of positive self-talk in adolescents varies and can be applied to cultivate self-talk habits that are goal-directed, rational, affective, cognitive, motivational, and have psychological functions. Strategies to improve self-talk include using gestures through repetitive practice, mental rehearsal, cognitive interventions, and using first or second-person pronouns. Furthermore, strategies to increase self-talk can be implemented using video modelling examples and naturalistic videos.

Abstract

Struktur keluarga terganggu oleh perceraian dengan dampak negatif pada anak-anak. Banyak rumah tangga dipimpin ibu tunggal, sementara ayah tunggal menghadapi tantangan ganda. Peran ayah tunggal semakin penting dengan perubahan sosial dan ekonomi, serta nilai-nilai tradisional. Analisis perkembangan anak di Jawa menekankan peran ganda ayah tunggal, tantangan finansial, dukungan emosional, dan nilai-nilai budaya yang krusial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengasuhan ayah tunggal Jawa pada anak usia remaja. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif fenomenologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran ayah tunggal di Jawa dalam mengasuh anak remaja meliputi pengasuhan, pembimbingan belajar, serta membutuhkan dukungan dan pemahaman lebih luas. Kendala seperti beban tugas rumah tangga menekankan pentingnya dukungan tambahan dari keluarga dan lingkungan. Ayah tunggal di Jawa juga dianggap sebagai contoh baik dalam mendidik anak dengan nilai-nilai budaya, sementara adaptasi dalam mengelola lingkungan keluarga menuntut kebijaksanaan dalam menyesuaikan nilai-nilai dengan budaya mereka tanpa terkekang pada satu pola tertentu.

Abstract

The transition from high school to university represents a significant period of change in the lives of first-year students. This adjustment often involves challenges in academic, social, and personal domains, with students needing to adapt to new learning environments, peer dynamics, and, in some cases, independence from family. The aim of this research is to examine differences in first year students' adjustment based on gender, culture, and domicile and living with parents or in a boarding house. The methodology employed in this study utilizes a descriptive comparative approach, which involves the integration of Two Way ANOVA with the Rasch Ranking Model. This integration is achieved by converting the raw data into logarithmic data. The study obtained politomy data using a self-adjustment scale instrument, which was disseminated online. The data were analyzed using the Rasch model. The findings show there are significant differences between the adjustment of male and female students, as well as between the Batak tribe and other tribes. Adjustment is influenced by interactions between gender and ethnicity, as well as between ethnicity and place of residence. However, no major differences in adjustment were observed with respect to specific residences or housing types.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of logotherapy techniques on the resilience of Muslim families, with family status and the number of dependents serving as demographic variables. The study sample consisted of 30 Muslim families in Banten province, Indonesia involving a total of 89 individuals. The sampling using the purposive sampling method consisted of 30 men (father or husband), 30 women (mother or wife), and 29 sons and/or daughters in terms of family status. The study employs a quantitative approach using inferential parametric statistics by using ANOVA. The results obtained indicate logotherapy counseling techniques, such as paradoxical intention, dereflection, and Socratic dialogue, have significantly increased the resilience of Muslim families in Banten. The Paradoxical Intention technique is significant for improving the legal basis dimension and the Dereflection technique is significant for improving the Psychosocial Resilience dimension. The combined technique of Paradoxical Intention and Socratic Dialogue is significant in improving the other three dimensions of Physical Resilience, Economic Resilience, and Family Social Resilience. More specifically, enhancing physical and economic resilience is best achieved using the paradoxical intention-Socratic dialogue, socio-family resilience with Socratic dialogue-dereflection, legality resilience with paradoxical intention, and socio-psychological resilience with dereflection. In the context of enhancing family resilience, husbands are best served using paradoxical intention-Socratic dialogue, wives by dereflection-Socratic dialogue, and children by paradoxical intention-Socratic dialogue. For families with only child dependents, the most suitable technique is paradoxical intention-Socratic dialogue, while for those with dependents that include children, parents, and/or other close family members, dereflection proves more appropriate.

Abstract

Modernization and individualistic culture have shifted the values and expectations of the younger generation regarding marriage, leading to delays or decisions not to marry. However, in Indonesia, many single individuals still face social pressure due to societal stigma, as well as religious and cultural values. This pressure can negatively impact the well-being or flourishing of single individuals. This study aims to examine the relationship between sense of community and emotion regulation (cognitive and expressive suppressions) with flourishing among single individuals, using a correlational quantitative method with 105 respondents (Mage = 34.90; SD = 5.84 years) from the Catholic Singles Community “J”. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample. The results of multiple correlation indicated that sense of community and emotion regulation together significantly positively correlate with flourishing (R = 0.293, R2 = 0.086, p < 0.05. Nevertheless, partial correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the sense of community and flourishing (p<0.05), but a non-significant correlation between emotion regulation (both cognitive and expressive suppression) and flourishing (p>0.05). Although emotion regulation did not directly correlate with flourishing, emotion regulation (cognitive and expressive suppression) were significantly positively correlated with most aspects of sense of community. The implications of this research suggest that enhancing the sense of community plays a crucial role in achieving flourishing among members of a community. Sense of community can be further strengthened when supported by emotion regulation skills within the community context.
