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

A mother plays a significant role and responsibility in her child's life, as her attention and affection facilitate many aspects of the child's development. The loss of a mother's role can lead to sorrow that results in disappointment and frustration for children entering their teenage years, which can if held for a long time, affect their overall life satisfaction. To help adolescents avoid negative evaluations regarding the absence of a mother’s role, it is necessary for them to better understand themselves through the application of self-compassion and unconditional acceptance of themselves. This study aims to determine the predictor of self-compassion and self-acceptance together on the subjective well-being of adolescents who have experienced motherlessness since childhood. The research method used is quantitative with a multiple regression analysis design. A total of 203 adolescents who have experienced being motherless since childhood were recruited as participants using the purposive sampling technique. The research measurement used the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) for the self-compassion variable, the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ) for the self-acceptance variable, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) paired with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) for the subjective well-being variable. The research results show that the major hypothesis is accepted (F = 29.980 and sig. = 0.000), which is that self-compassion and self-acceptance have a predictor on subjective well-being in adolescents who have experienced motherlessness since childhood. Minor hypothesis 1 is accepted (r = 0.465 and sig. = 0.000), which states that self-compassion predictor subjective well-being in adolescents who have experienced motherlessness since childhood, while minor hypothesis 2 is rejected (r = 0.042 and sig. = 0.528), indicating that self-acceptance does not predictor subjective well-being in adolescents who have experienced motherlessness since childhood. This indicates that the state of subjective well-being in adolescents who have lost the role of a mother since childhood can be influenced by the application of love and unconditional acceptance towards oneself. However, another finding in this study indicates that only self-compassion has a direct predictor, while self-acceptance has no direct predictor on the subjective well-being of adolescents who have experienced motherlessness since childhood.

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.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of educators, students, and parents regarding the implementation of positive discipline in schools and its influence on students’ academic motivation. It examines how principals, teachers, students, supervisors, and parents understand and apply positive discipline, including its various forms, perceived effectiveness, challenges, and supporting factors. Data were gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 30 participants divided into four stakeholder-based groups. Using thematic analysis, the findings reveal that teachers’ understanding of positive discipline remains inconsistent, affecting the quality and uniformity of its implementation. While positive reinforcement and reflective group discussions are commonly practiced, punitive approaches still appear in some classrooms. The study shows that positive discipline contributes to increased student motivation, stronger classroom engagement, and healthier relationships within the school environment. Challenges include limited teacher training, inconsistent application, and occasional resistance from students or parents, whereas supportive school policies and strong communication with families serve as enabling factors. The study acknowledges several limitations, including a relatively small and heterogeneous participant group and the reliance on FGDs, which may introduce social desirability bias. Additionally, because the research focuses on senior high and vocational schools, its findings may not fully represent other educational levels. Despite these limitations, the study underscores the need for institutional support, ongoing teacher professional development, and active parental involvement to enhance the practice of positive discipline. It provides a culturally grounded perspective on positive discipline in Indonesian schools and highlights its role in fostering student motivation and cultivating a positive educational climate.

Abstract

This qualitative research investigates strategies for preventing bullying in Indonesian vocational high schools by conducting in-depth interviews with 12 teachers and 8 counsellors from 4 schools in Banjarmasin. The study identifies four main forms of bullying: verbal harassment, social exclusion, cyberbullying, and physical aggression, noting that underreporting is prevalent due to the normalisation of these behaviours and fear of retaliation. The findings indicate that although current interventions, such as counselling and awareness campaigns, show potential, their effectiveness is limited by three systemic challenges: (1) insufficient training for teachers in addressing cyberbullying, (2) inconsistent implementation of policies across different schools, and (3) a lack of parental involvement. To address these challenges, the research introduces a tripartite intervention model, a novel contribution to the field, integrating restorative justice practices, digital reporting systems, and community partnerships. This hybrid approach is particularly effective in vocational high school settings, where peer hierarchies and vocational pressures heighten the risk of bullying. Limitations of the study include its focus on a localised sample (n = 20) and the qualitative nature of the methodology, indicating the need for longitudinal research across Indonesia's diverse regions. These evidence-based strategies provide a new framework for policymakers aimed at reducing bullying-related disparities in vocational education.

Abstract

Child sexual abuse is a serious problem that has a significant impact on child development and protection, making teachers' attitudes as protectors in the school environment crucial. However, research examining the psychological factors that shape teachers’ attitudes toward child sexual abuse, particularly in the context of developing countries, remains limited and fragmented. This study aims to analyse the influence of teachers' attitudes toward child sexual abuse, specifically examining the role of anxiety, trust, and commitment in shaping these attitudes. The method used was a quantitative survey design. The research sample consisted of 307 kindergarten teachers in Banda Aceh City, Indonesia, randomly selected and stratified by length of work experience. The instrument used was the Teachers' Attitudes Toward Reporting Child Sexual Abuse, which consists of 21 items with a five-point Likert scale, divided into three main factors: anxiety, trust, and commitment. Data were analysed using multiple regression to measure the influence of independent variables on teachers' attitudes as the dependent variable. The results showed that teachers' commitment and trust significantly strengthened proactive attitudes in preventing and addressing child sexual abuse, while anxiety had a negative effect.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has made online games a part of students' daily lives, including games containing violent elements. This phenomenon raises concerns because exposure to violent games is suspected of contributing to increased aggressive behavior among adolescents. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of violent games on the aggressive behavior of junior high school students. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The study sample consisted of 282 junior high school students spread across three provinces, namely West Sumatra, Jakarta, and Southeast Sulawesi, consisting of 121 male students and 161 female students. This study used two scales: the violent game scale and the aggressiveness scale. Data analysis was conducted through simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that playing violent games significantly influenced aggressive behavior. The coefficient of determination (R Square = 0.253) indicated that 25.3% of students' aggressive behavior was explained by the intensity of playing violent games, while the rest was influenced by other factors. The implications of this research are the need for active participation by schools, parents, and the community in monitoring and providing alternative positive activities that can reduce students' exposure to violent games.

Abstract

Teachers’ performance plays a crucial role in achieving educational quality, and two important factors that can enhance it are creativity and innovative work behavior (IWB). This study aims to examine the influence of these two variables on teachers’ performance through a meta-analysis approach. A total of 25 effect sizes from scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 were analyzed using JASP software version 0.19.3.0, with two independent variables, creativity and IWB. The results indicate that creativity has a significant positive effect on teachers’ IWB with an effect size of 0.561 (SE = 0.133; p = 0.001) and a heterogeneity [(Q = 542.751; p < 0.001; τ² or τ > 0; I² (%)]. Similarly, IWB also shows a significant effect with an effect size of 0.389 (SE = 0.046; p < .001) and a heterogeneity [Q = 66.886; p < 0.001; τ² or τ > 0; I² (%)]. These findings demonstrate that creativity and IWB consistently improve teachers’ performance. Therefore, enhancing teachers’ creativity and IWB should be integral to continuous professional development programs in educational institutions.

Abstract

High academic pressure, social expectations, and performance demands make students vulnerable to psychological disorders. Although seeking academic help is an important adaptive strategy, many students refrain from doing so for fear of being perceived as weak or incompetent. Previous research has focused more on stress factors, literacy, and personality, while the role of social stigma as a direct determinant of academic help-seeking behavior has not been widely explored, especially in the Indonesian cultural context. Therefore, this study aims to determine how social stigma affects academic help-seeking in college students. The research sample was purposive sampling, resulting in 303 participants (53 males and 250 females) who were active students in Sumatera, Java, and Kalimantan, Indonesia, with experiences of unpleasant social stigma. Data collection techniques used the Academic Help-Seeking Scale (AHSS) and the Public Stigma Scale (PSS). Data analysis techniques using quantitative methods with simple regression. The results showed that, simultaneously, public stigma is a predictor and contributes to academic help-seeking.
