Abstract

Procrastination in adolescents does not happen immediately like me, there are several factors that trigger procrastination, including stress and resilience. This study aims to find out whether stress and resilience have an influence on procrastination. The type of research in this research is quantitative using a descriptive research design. The results of the study stated that stress and resilience can affect procrastination by 4.8%, which means that these two variables have very little effect on procrastination. While the significance value is 0.60 > 0.05, which means it is not significant. Specifically, there is a low negative correlation between stress and resilience (r = -0.017), meaning that the higher the individual's resilience, the lower the stress level. There is a strong positive correlation between stress and procrastination (r = 0.202), meaning that the higher the individual's stress level, the higher the procrastination. In addition, procrastination was found to have a small positive correlation with resilience (r = 0.081), meaning that high resilience in individuals can make individuals procrastinate, but with a small percentage. It can be concluded that there is an insignificant effect between stress and resilience on procrastination, which is 4.8% which tends to be small.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination in psychology students. The method used is quantitative with a correlational design. 165 students aged 18 to 25 years studying for a bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Psychology at Satya Wacana Christian University were research participants using the Accidental Sampling technique. Research measurements used the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) developed by Schwarzer and Jerusalem and the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS) developed by McCloskey, with data analysis using product moment correlation from Karl Pearson. The research found a negative relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination in Satya Wacana Christian University psychology students. This is indicated by a correlation coefficient of -0.147 with a significance value of 0.030 (p<0.05). This means that the higher the level of self-efficacy in students, the lower the level of procrastination in students, and conversely, the lower the level of self-efficacy in students, the higher the academic procrastination behaviour in students. The results of this research can be used as material to make efforts to increase self-efficacy to prevent procrastination behaviour in students.

Abstract

The post-COVID-19 pandemic has had various impacts on human life, including on educational institutions and sophomore students. One of the negative consequences has been an increase in perceived stress, which has necessitated the development of coping strategies. Resilience is believed to play a significant role in influencing the quality of these coping strategies. This research aims to examine the moderating influence of resilience on coping strategies for perceived stress among sophomore students in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Participants included students in their third to sixth semesters, selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire encompassing three scales: Brief COPE, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS). Data analysis involved descriptive analysis and moderated regression analysis. The study concludes that resilience significantly moderates the relationship between coping strategies and perceived stress (t = -10.722, p < 0.05). The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are further discussed.

This study was conducted using a quantitative approach, specifically a correlational research design. The population of this study consisted of all twelfth-grade students at SMAN 100 East Jakarta, totaling 235 students. Sample calculation using the Slovin formula resulted in a sample of 148 students using simple random sampling technique. Data collection employed psychological scales for self-efficacy, self-regulation, and career planning. Data analysis technique involved simple linear regression analysis, followed by classical assumption tests including normality test, multicollinearity test, and heteroskedasticity test. The research instruments utilized psychological scales for self-regulation and career planning. The results of the study indicate a positive and significant relationship between self-regulation and career planning, with a significant value of 0.000 and an F value of 99.409. Therefore, since the significance value is less than 0.05 and the F value is greater than the F table value (3.06), the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Based on the coefficient of determination, the obtained R Square value of 0.578 indicates that self-regulation influences career planning by 57.8%, while the remaining 42.2% is influenced by other factors.

Extreme thoughts about moderate Islam are often the beginning of divisions. A shallow understanding of religious moderation makes it easier for someone to be indicated by radical views. Counselors have an essential role in increasing students' understanding of religious moderation. This study aims to improve students' understanding of religious moderation in public schools through group guidance using bibliotherapy techniques. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a Non-equivalent control group design. The sample of this research was 20 students, consisting of 10 students for each experimental and control group, per Gazda's (1969) recommendations regarding the adequate number of group guidance participants, ranging from 8 to 10 participants. The sample has filled out the Religious Moderation Scale (RMS) developed by Monalisa (2022) and is indicated to be in a low category. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test to determine the effect before and after the intervention was given. Then, to find out the average difference between the experimental group and the control group, it was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The study's results showed a difference in understanding of religious moderation before and after the intervention, with a significance of .005. The research results showed that the group guidance intervention using bibliotherapy techniques was effective in increasing students' understanding of religious moderation with a Z score of -3.885 and a significance value of .000.

Abstract

Social media, a component of the ever-developing science and technology, has positive and negative impacts. One example of its negative impacts is the social media dependency. This dependency is reflected when a person spends excessive time and energy accessing various social media, ultimately affecting his life as a college student. This research sought to determine the effectiveness of reality group counseling in reducing social media dependency. This experimental research employed one group pretest-posttest design. The research samples were selected through a purposive sampling technique by using recruitment criteria, in which the data were collected through a pretest questionnaire named social media dependency scale. The research samples consisted of four college students. The research instrument contained 20 valid statement items with a Cronbach's Alpha reliability level above 0.70. The pretest results showed that the social media dependency was 67.5%, and the posttest revealed the behaviour was 39.5%, meaning there was a 28% decrease in social media dependency. Therefore, it can be concluded that reality group counseling effectively reduces social media dependency.

Abstract

This study investigated the obstacles faced by learners with high-functioning autism in pursuing careers in sports, at a special school in Johannesburg, South Africa. It explored strategies that these learners can use to overcome obstacles they may experience in pursuing careers in sports. The study used a qualitative methodology informed by an interpretive paradigm and intrinsic case study design. The study involved eighteen participants, namely six teachers, six parents and six learners. Data were collected through focus group interviews, semi-structured interviews, art-based career collages and document analysis. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings show that these learners face numerous obstacles in pursuing sports careers due to a lack of resources, inadequate facilities, lack of parental involvement, discrimination, inadequate training of teachers, lack of sporting activities, and lack of appropriate school structures. The learners face personal obstacles, including verbal, writing, social, interactional, and behavioral deficiencies. The findings indicate a need to provide these learners with adequate and relevant resources and facilities at home, school, and elsewhere to tackle these obstacles.

Abstract

This research raises the topic of the relationship between religion, mental well-being, and local cultural wisdom in pepadun Muslim communities in the interior of Lampung. It was found that the understanding and practice of religion in this community positively impacted mental well-being, became an inner bond that provided physical and spiritual calm, and strengthened the spiritual relationship with God through interaction with the Koran. Researchers found differences between the religious practices of pepadun Muslims and urban Muslims, especially in socio-religious practices. The higher level of solidarity among pepadun Muslims indicates that they live communally and socially. Assimilation of local wisdom, such as Nemui Nyimah and Piil Pesenggiri, becomes a critical element of these communities' religious understanding and practice, becoming the cultural foundation that gives uniqueness to their religious life. This research provides insight into the dynamics of the relationship between religion, mental well-being, and local cultural wisdom but also confirms that religious and cultural values ​​play an essential role in shaping the religious insight and mental well-being of the Pepadun Muslim community in the interior of Lampung.
