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.

Abstract

Global diversity illustrates students' ability to think broadly when encountering cultures different from their own. The aim of this research is to determine whether there is an effect when guidance and counseling services are combined with local Indonesian values, specifically the values contained in Kakawin Sutasoma. The Kakawin Sutasoma is a work by Mpu Tantular, believed to have been written between 1365 and 1389 during the Majapahit kingdom in the 14th century. The Majapahit kingdom had a diverse cultural and religious background, which inspired Mpu Tantular to create a bridge among these various streams to foster unity. This research is a type of quasi-experiment, using a pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects are 10th-grade students aged 15 to 16 years, selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 8 individuals for the experimental group and 6 individuals for the control group. The control group consists of 4 males and 4 females, while the experimental group has 4 males and 2 females. Data analysis used non-parametric statistical tests employing the Wilcoxon technique, followed by the Mann-Whitney test to compare differences between the experimental and control groups. The results of this study show an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.008 < 0.05. This means that group guidance with the sociodrama technique incorporating Kakawin Sutasoma values is effective in managing the global diversity attitudes of high school students.

Peer counseling provides a supportive environment where students can share their experiences, seek advice, and receive emotional support from their peers. The findings of this research suggest that there is a significant relationship between academic stress and burnout, and that peer counseling has the potential to play a key role in mitigating these issues, thus improving students' overall well-being and academic success. Furthermore, this research emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive academic environment that can help students cope with the pressures they face in their final year of study.

Abstract

Social anxiety is a prevalent mental health issue in modern society, significantly affecting the quality of life of those impacted. However, access to mental health services, including traditional counseling, is often limited by various factors. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a cybercounseling application in addressing social anxiety. The application, developed as part of this research, provides clients with the ability to consult counselors without the constraints of distance and time. Key features include real-time chat with counselors, mental health articles as "self-help" resources, and a tool for measuring social anxiety levels. This research follows a Research and Development (RnD) design, comprising three stages of testing: (1) expert validation, which confirmed the model as valid for use; (2) limited empirical testing, where the application showed significant effectiveness in reducing social anxiety based on Wilcoxon statistical tests (p < 0.05); and (3) large-scale testing, which further confirmed the application's effectiveness with similar significant results (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that the cybercounseling application is a viable tool for treating social anxiety in the digital era.
