Abstract

Career Decision Self-Efficacy (CDSE), which reflects an individual's confidence in making effective career decisions, is influenced by various factors, particularly sex and ethnicity. This quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional study aims to compare CDSE levels among young men and women from five ethnic groups in Indonesia: Mentawai, Kutai, Lombok, Palu, and Papua. The study involved 75 participants, 38 males and 37 females—who completed the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form (CDSES-SF), which demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.901). The results revealed gender-based differences in CDSE dimensions. Male participants scored highest in goal selection (M = 4.79, SD = 0.66) and lowest in planning for the future (M = 4.48, SD = 0.67). In contrast, female participants showed the highest score in occupational information (M = 4.74, SD = 0.61) and the lowest in problem solving (M = 4.43, SD = 0.82). Ethnic differences were also observed. The lowest scoring CDSE dimensions varied: occupational information for Mentawai (M = 4.32, SD = 0.61) and Palu (M = 4.24, SD = 0.43); planning for the future for Kutai (M = 3.70, SD = 0.81) and Papua (M = 3.37, SD = 0.56); and goal selection for Lombok (M = 3.57, SD = 0.88). Based on these findings, it is recommended that counselors provide group or classical guidance and career-focused counseling/psychotherapy to help students strengthen CDSE dimensions where scores remain low, thereby supporting informed and confident career decision-making.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the contribution of the intensity of participation in psychoeducational group guidance to the academic emotions of students in Jember Islamic boarding schools. Academic emotions play an important role in determining the quality of students' learning, while psychoeducational group guidance provides space for students to recognize, express, and manage their emotions positively in the context of learning. This study uses a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. The population in this study were students who actively participated in group guidance activities in several Islamic boarding schools in Jember, with samples selected purposively. The instruments used were a questionnaire on the intensity of participation and an academic emotion scale that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results of the regression analysis showed that the intensity of participation in psychoeducational group guidance contributed significantly to students' academic emotions (p <0.05), with a contribution of 30% (R² = 0.30). This finding indicates that the more intense the participation of students in group guidance activities, the more positive the academic emotions they have. This study recommends that Islamic boarding schools integrate psychoeducational programs more systematically in student guidance activities.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of psychoeducation on emotional intelligence about changes in learning motivation, self-regulated learning, and academic procrastination. Providing Emotional Intelligence psychoeducation is hoped to increase learning motivation, self-regulated learning, and reduce academic procrastination. The research method used is a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants in this study are 63 students from STIPAS Tahasak Danum Pambelum, Palangkaraya Diocese. Participants were given an intervention in the form of emotional intelligence psychoeducation. The evaluation of the intervention used the Kirkpatrick criteria levels, namely the reaction level measured using a reaction test, the knowledge level measured with an emotional intelligence knowledge test, and the behavior level with a learning motivation scale, self-regulation scale, and procrastination scale. The results of the data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test show a significant difference between before and after the psychoeducation was provided, with a learning motivation value of z = -5.848 with p = 0.00 (p<0.05), self-regulated learning value of z = -5.773 with p = 0.00 (p<0.05), and procrastination value of z = -5.440 with p = 0.00 (p<0.05). Psychoeducation on emotional intelligence is effective in increasing learning motivation, self-regulated learning, and reducing procrastination.

Abstract

Education was regarded as a long-term investment to develop superior human resources. Unfortunately, the education system in Indonesia remained overshadowed by inequality and systemic obsolescence, making the reinforcement of self-regulated learning (SRL) as the foundation of students’ learning autonomy urgently necessary. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of Technology Compatibility and Social Support on the SRL of students at Catholic Senior High School Bhakti Luhur Malang, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 144 students selected through a stratified random sampling technique. The research instrument consisted of questionnaires for the three measured constructs, all of which had been validated in advance. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS software. The results revealed that the correlation coefficient between the independent and dependent variables was r = 0.786, indicating a strong relationship. In terms of causality, the simultaneous regression analysis yielded p = 0.001 < 0.05, suggesting that the regression model was appropriate for predicting students' SRL. Furthermore, the variables of Technology Compatibility and Social Support were found to significantly affect SRL individually, with each showing a p = 0.001. Therefore, both simultaneously and individually, the two independent variables significantly influenced students’ SRL, with Social Support contributing more than Technology Compatibility.

Abstract

Sleep is a fundamental biological process critical for cognitive function, emotional regulation, and physical health. Despite its importance, sleep disorders have become increasingly prevalent globally, contributing to reduced quality of life, impaired daily functioning, and elevated risks for chronic illnesses, for example cardiovascular disease and depression. Current treatments, such as pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy, also have limitations such as limited accessibility, side effects, and costs, therefore there is a need for alternative, low-risk, and accessible intervention to improve sleep quality. Music therapy, as a non-invasive and cost-effective approach, appears as a promising candidate, but requires systematic evaluation to establish its efficacy. This meta-analysis investigates the effectiveness of music therapy for individuals experiencing sleep disorders. A systematic review of prior studies was conducted; Egger’s regression test confirmed the absence of publication bias (p >0.05). Results demonstrated a large effect size (Hedge’s g =1.29), indicating that music therapy substantially enhances sleep quality. Future research should incorporate objective sleep measurements such as electroencephalography (EEG) and actigraphy, alongside subjective self-reports. Utilizing objective sleep monitoring technologies should further our knowledge regarding the mechanisms underlying music’s effects on sleep. Overall, this study reinforces viability of music therapy as an accessible and effective tool for managing sleep disorders and emphasizes the need for continued rigorous research.

Abstract

Analog board and card games featuring reveal-and-react mechanics, characterized by immediate player responses to newly disclosed game elements, have emerged as promising tools for enhancing executive functions (EF), attention, memory, and problem-solving skills in children. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 13 studies, assessing the cognitive impact of reveal-and-react gameplay in participants aged 3–18, with particular emphasis on children aged ≤12 years. Results consistently indicate improvements across core EF domains such as inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Notable games identified include Ghost Blitz, Dobble, Bee Alert, and Speed Cups, which provide structured yet engaging environments for cognitive training. The review underscores reveal-and-react mechanics as potent catalysts for developing rapid decision-making, attention control, and working memory updating. Moreover, these games hold significant educational and clinical potential, offering scalable, cost-effective interventions adaptable across diverse settings, including classrooms and therapeutic contexts. Despite limitations in study heterogeneity and longitudinal data scarcity, the collective evidence supports integrating these games into child-focused cognitive enhancement programs.

Abstract

This study explores the intellectual overview of psychological crisis in child sexual abuse (CSA) victims. Bibliometric analysis was performed to identify three primary terms “psychological crisis”, “child sexual abuse”, and “victims” between 2014 and 2024 which yielded 2,058 documents from WoS and Scopus databases after applying filtration criteria. The results were generated through VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. The study identified CSA as predominated keyword (11%), while psychological crises denoted with terms like trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD (1%). The psychological crisis marked as prevalence provides major impacts in recent research, while CSA remains an emerging topic that is evolving into specific areas such as punishment, emotions, victim blaming, and decision-making. The co-citation and authorship identified Finkelhor and Cohen J as fundamental researchers on CSA and child trauma, while Lyon TD as an influential author on CSA. The findings suggest that the research on CSA and its emotional effect on victims offers significant opportunities for further exploration in developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, alongside contributions from pioneer countries and established authors. The study concludes the need to advance research across several thematic areas in order to address existing knowledge gaps and advance scientific knowledge.

Abstract

Social skills are an important aspect in developing the character of 21st century students, especially in facing the challenges of communication, collaboration, and cross-cultural interaction. However, there is no measurement instrument specifically designed to assess students' social skills in the context of higher education in Indonesia. This study aims to develop and evaluate a valid, reliable, and gender- and department-free Student Social Skills Instrument (S3I). The research sample consisted of 575 responses collected from various departments at IKIP Siliwangi, consisting of 113 male students (19.7%; SD = -0.79) and 462 female students (80.3%; SD = 0.69). The S3I instrument consists of 204 items arranged on a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Rasch model approach, including analysis of item validity, reliability, unidimensionality, and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) based on gender and department. The results showed that the S3I instrument had very high reliability (α = 0.98), met the criteria of unidimensionality (explained variance 29.8%), and most of the items showed conformity with the Rasch model. However, some items were found to be inappropriate and biased towards certain genders or majors, so they needed to be revised further. Overall, the S3I was stated as an appropriate and accurate measuring instrument to assess students' social skills in the context of higher education.

Abstract

Aging brings not only physical decline but also psychological and spiritual challenges, particularly among elderly individuals living in communal environments such as Islamic boarding houses (pesantren). While pesantren settings offer religious routines and social support, structured psychological interventions tailored to older people’s spiritual needs are limited. This study examines the effectiveness of nature-based, person-centred group counselling in improving the spiritual well-being of elderly residents at Pesantren Rhoodiyatam Mardhiyyah, Semarang. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the research involved a quantitative phase followed by qualitative exploration. The quantitative phase employed a one-factor pretest-multiple posttest control group design analysed using Mixed ANOVA, while the qualitative phase used thematic analysis based on in-depth interviews. A total of 14 participants aged 60 and above were purposively selected. Mixed ANOVA results revealed significant main effects of the intervention across time (p < .001) and between groups (p < .001), with strong interaction effects (ηp² = 0.855), indicating that the nature-based group counselling significantly enhanced spiritual well-being across personal, communal, environmental, and transcendental dimensions. The thematic analysis supported these findings, with participants reporting increased inner peace, emotional openness, social connectedness, and deeper spiritual reflection. Nature-based person-centred counselling provides a practical and culturally relevant intervention to enhance the spiritual well-being of elderly individuals in Islamic boarding schools. This approach integrates therapeutic engagement with nature, group support, and spiritual reflection, offering valuable implications for elderly care programs in religious settings.

Abstract

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, often lead to severe crises and adversity in family life due to significant psychological, economic, and social pressures. This situation has been experienced by families who survived the earthquake in Cianjur Regency, Indonesia. These families face profound challenges and crises that have left them in vulnerable conditions. In such circumstances, the ability of families to adapt and recover, referred to as family resilience becomes crucial to ensuring the ongoing well-being of all family members. One important factor that can influence the development of family resilience is the ability of family members to manage and regulate their emotions adaptively in the face of post-disaster stress and uncertainty. Emotion regulation strategies have been shown to play a significant role in coping and adaptation processes within families during various crisis situations. Understanding how the implementation of specific emotion regulation strategies influences the development of family resilience is essential for providing appropriate support to help families overcome adversity and recover more effectively. However, research specifically examining the role of these emotion regulation strategies on family resilience among populations affected by natural disasters in Indonesia remains limited. This quantitative, non-experimental study investigates the role of two emotion regulation strategies cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression in predicting family resilience among 100 survivors. Participants completed standardized measures of emotional regulation and family resilience. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression. Results showed that both cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression significantly and independently predicted family resilience, with expressive suppression contributing more strongly to the model. These findings challenge the conventional view that suppression is universally maladaptive and suggest that, in high-stress contexts such as post-disaster recovery, suppression may serve as a short-term stabilizing mechanism. The study contributes to disaster psychology literature by highlighting the contextual function of emotion regulation strategies in fostering family adaptation. Implications include the need for culturally sensitive resilience interventions that integrate flexible emotion regulation training for affected families.
