Abstract

This study aims to design and develop a peer-based intervention model grounded in humanistic principles to enhance the subjective well-being of senior high school adolescent in Indonesia. Employing a convergent mixed-methods design, qualitative data were obtained through focus group discussions and interviews to explore students’ needs related to peer-based support, while quantitative data on subjective well-being profiles were collected from 133 students using the Subjective Well-being Inventory for High School Students (Azzahrah et al., 2024). The developed model underwent acceptability testing by four guidance and counseling teachers and was validated by four experts in the field of guidance and counseling. The model was pilot-tested on 13 students, and the results revealed a significant increase in subjective well-being scores from the pre-test (M= 80,250) to the post-test (M= 88,875), with a p-value of 0,022 (p<0,05). These findings suggest the the model demonstrates contextual relevance and a meaningful impact in supporting adolescents’ subjective well-being. This study contributes to the field of guidance and counseling by introducing a peer-based intervention model rooted in humanistic theory, which holds potential for broad and sustainable implementation within Indonesia secondary education settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the meaning-making process of negative experiences among adolescents who experienced out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected from five participants (17 to 19 years old when they got first pregnancy) through in-depth interviews and observations to explore their emotional and cognitive responses. The findings showed that the meaning-making process is gradual and shaped by both internal and external factors. Initially, the pregnancy was perceived as traumatic, marked by shame, fear, and social rejection. Over time, however, support from family and friends played a key role in helping the adolescents reinterpret their experiences. Family support, in particular, provided a safe, nonjudgmental space that enabled emotional recovery and personal reflection. This shift allowed the participants to develop a sense of responsibility, continue their education, seek economic independence, and pursue healthier relationships. These efforts reflect a transition from crisis to growth, guided by a “will to meaning” and the creation of purpose through action. In conclusion, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, while initially distressing, became a catalyst for personal development and a deeper understanding of life’s meaning.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing the growth mindset of high school students in Surakarta through a social-cognitive perspective. Employing a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design, the research examined the linear relationship between parental involvement, teacher engagement, and cultural values with students’ growth mindsets, while also exploring educators’ perspectives and integrating quantitative and qualitative findings. Participants included 395 students and 24 educators (guidance and counseling teachers and principals). The instruments consisted of self-assessment scales measuring growth mindset, cultural values, perceptions of parental involvement and teacher engagement, along with narrative inquiry interviews. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant linear relationship between the three independent variables and students’ growth mindset. Classical assumptions were met, including normality (p = 0.058 > 0.05), absence of multicollinearity (VIF < 10), homoscedasticity, and no autocorrelation (Durbin-Watson = 2.056). Multiple regression analysis confirmed the model’s feasibility (F = 68.045, p < 0.001), with the three predictors jointly explaining 34.3% of variance (R² = 0.343). Individually, cultural values showed the strongest effect (β = 0.400, t = 9.120, p < 0.001), followed by parental involvement (β = 0.203, t = 4.218, p < 0.001) and teacher engagement (β = 0.154, t = 3.236, p = 0.001). Qualitative analysis identified five themes: intrinsic motivation, life goals, cultural and family influences, the role of teachers and schools, and social support. The integrated findings suggest that growth mindset is ecosystemic, shaped by interactions of personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. This study extends understanding of growth mindset within the Indonesian, particularly Javanese, cultural context and provides practical implications for educational interventions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the resilience of parents who have children with cerebral palsy and the factors influencing it. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used to explore the subjective experiences of three couples in raising children with special needs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles & Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that parental resilience is reflected in their ability to manage emotions, control impulses, maintain optimism, demonstrate empathy, and have self-efficacy. They are also able to perform causal analysis and build meaning in life through the reaching out attitude. Factors influencing resilience are divided into internal and external factors. Internal factors include proactive coping styles, emotional coping, and problem-focused coping, as well as emotional adaptation skills and intelligence in facing challenges. External factors include support from immediate and extended family, social environment, healthcare workers, and spiritual support from religious leaders. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions in the field of psychology, as well as practical benefits for parents and society in creating adaptive and constructive support for children with cerebral palsy.

Abstract

Loneliness and internet addiction (IA) are risk factors for depression. Internet addiction and depression among adolescents have recently increased in prevalence globally and are expected to continue to increase. However, there is no clear line between internet addiction and depression as to why it occurs. Previous research on the relationship between loneliness and depression in adolescents involved IA as a mediator, and the results of the study showed that IA can be a partial mediator between loneliness and depression. However, in Indonesia, there has been no similar research regarding IA as a mediator and explaining the relationship between these variables. Previous studies show that lonely individuals show high levels of IA. It also causes depression in adolescents. The relationship is still not fully explained. The results of a study involving 732 adolescents in Indonesia, high school students aged 14 to 19 years, actively using the internet, and owning smartphones show that there is partial mediation of IA in the relationship between loneliness and depression in adolescents. Loss of control (LoC) is a dimension that is strongly associated with depression and loneliness. The amount of time spent on the Internet is also linked to loneliness and depression. The study found that girls were more likely to experience depression and loneliness compared to boys. These findings provide important information for parents and schools, and interventions related to these findings can be of serious concern.

Abstract

The development of digital technology presents serious challenges for adolescents, one of which is cyber grooming. Cyber grooming refers to manipulative attempts by perpetrators on social media to exploit victims emotionally or sexually. This study aims to examine the role of assertiveness and parental involvement in shaping adolescents’ attitudes toward cyber grooming. A quantitative approach was employed with a sample of 394 female adolescents aged 13–18 years who accessed social media for at least five hours per day. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that assertiveness and parental involvement had a highly significant role in adolescents’ attitudes toward cyber grooming. The regression model accounted for 55.1% of the variance in attitudes toward cyber grooming. These findings highlight that the combination of individual skills (assertiveness) and family factors (parental involvement) serves as a key protective factor in fostering adolescents’ resilience against the risk of online exploitation.

Abstract

Marital satisfaction is a condition desired by every married couple. This becomes more challenging when faced with the reality of a long-distance marriage. The study aimed to examine the role of self-compassion and spousal social support in predicting marital satisfaction. Participants in this study were 100 GPIB pastors in 19 provinces who have been in long-distance marriage for 1-25 years. Data collection used The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), The Receipt of Spousal Support Scale (RSSS) and ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (EMSS), which were distributed by sending questionnaires via Google form. Data analysis was conducted quantitatively using multiple linear regression techniques. The findings indicate that self-compassion and spousal social support simultaneously predict marital satisfaction. Partially, spousal social support has a greater predictive power on pastors’ marital satisfaction than self-compassion. The implications of this study for pastor couples in long distance marriage are expected to emphasize the important of partners in providing social support to achieve marital satisfaction.
