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.

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.
