Abstract

This study analyzed the influence of different dimensions of gender-based violence perceptions on the prevalence of digital violence (DV) among university students. The research background rests on the growing threat of online violence, which may be shaped by individual awareness levels. The research instrument specifically accommodated four forms of online gender-based violence: digital sexual harassment, violence based on physical appearance, violence based on gender roles, and anti-feminist violence. The study employs a cross-sectional design and involves 414 students who actively use social media as respondents. Multiple regression analysis (F-test) shows that the four perception dimensions—perceptions of sexual harassment, gender-based violence, physical appearance violence, and anti-feminist violence—simultaneously exert a significant effect on digital violence (Sig. = 0.001). These results confirm the validity of the predictive model. However, partial testing (t-test) reveals that only perceptions of sexual harassment significantly and positively influence digital violence (B = +0.304; Sig. = 0.002). The positive coefficient reflects a reporting bias: respondents with higher sensitivity to sexual harassment tend to define and report a broader range of online incidents as violence. Meanwhile, perceptions of gender-based violence, physical appearance violence, and anti-feminist violence do not provide unique predictive contributions. The study concludes that, in the context of digital violence, sexual harassment awareness is the most dominant factor. It recommends that online violence prevention programs and policies focus specifically on strengthening understanding and coping strategies related to digital sexual harassment.

Abstract

Bullying in multicultural elementary schools in Jambi Province has shown a significant increase, posing serious risks to children’s psychosocial development. This study aims to explore the experiences of teachers, counselors, and students in addressing bullying, identify intercultural values relevant to counseling practices, and construct a conceptual framework for an intercultural counseling module grounded in Jambi’s local wisdom. A qualitative Grounded Theory approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and focus group discussions. Data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding, and validated through source triangulation and expert review. The findings indicate that bullying is influenced by individual factors, socio-cultural dynamics, and school environmental conditions. The analysis resulted in a conceptual model of an intercultural counseling module integrating cross-cultural empathy, local wisdom, and preventive and curative strategies. The study contributes a culturally grounded and practice-oriented framework to advance intercultural guidance and counseling in multicultural elementary school settings

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of fatherless families in urban Indonesian contexts presents significant challenges for the transmission of life values and social norms to children, particularly as mothers assume dual parental roles amid persistent social stigma. This qualitative research with a phenomenological approach aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by single mothers in socializing life values to children within the context of fatherless families in Medan City, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 female heads of households and participant observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The research findings reveal five main communication strategies: first, androgynous communication strategies that contextually integrate feminine (empathetic and dialogic) and masculine (firm and directive) characteristics; second, the construction of compensatory communication networks by involving significant male figures from extended families and communities; third, synergistic integration of verbal and non-verbal communication through behavioral modeling and reflection; fourth, creative adaptation of local cultural values (dalihan na tolu and musyawarah) modified according to the fatherless family structure; and fifth, the development of resistance narratives against social stigma through the construction of positive family identity. This study concludes that the success of value socialization in fatherless families highly depends on the mother’s ability to develop resilient, contextual communication strategies integrated with the sociocultural environment. These findings highlight the importance of developing support models for fatherless families that are grounded in existing strengths and local sociocultural potentials.

Abstract

Marriage in Islam is highly encouraged as an act of worship to Allah SWT and as the fulfillment of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. As a lifelong commitment, marriage can be a source of happiness as well as prolonged psychological stress due to inevitable marital conflicts. Although many conflicts are minor and resolvable, they often lead to regret when handled unwisely. Such regret may reflect a genuine desire to preserve the sanctity of marriage, yet it can become destructive when emotional immaturity prevents healthy conflict resolution. This study adopts a qualitative conceptual approach by integrating two perspectives: Qur’anic Psychology as an Islamic framework for understanding marital psychological dynamics, and Applied Psychology through Family Therapy as a practical strategy for managing marital conflict. The findings indicate that marital regret can serve as a constructive signal when approached through Qur’anic psychological principles, encouraging self-awareness, emotional regulation, and spiritual reflection. Family Therapy complements this perspective by offering structured techniques that promote effective communication, emotional maturity, and mutual understanding between spouses.The integration of Qur’anic Psychology and Family Therapy highlights that marital conflict is not merely a relational issue but a divine test that requires both spiritual consciousness and psychological skills. Constructive conflict resolution grounded in Islamic values and supported by applied psychological methods can strengthen marital harmony and sustain the sacred bond of marriage.

Abstract

Patients with diabetes mellitus frequently experience anxiety that negatively affects their quality of life and treatment adherence. Psychological resources such as resilience and self-efficacy are known to play protective roles, yet the psychological mechanisms explaining their influence on anxiety remain not fully understood. This study examined the mediating role of growth mindset in the relationship between resilience, self-efficacy, and anxiety among patients with diabetes mellitus. A cross-sectional correlational quantitative design using Structural Equation Modeling involved 160 patients with diabetes mellitus at hospitals in Kediri, selected through cluster sampling. Instruments included the resilience scale, self-efficacy scale, Growth Mindset Scale, and anxiety scale. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 4.0. Resilience showed a significant negative effect on anxiety, while self-efficacy demonstrated a non-significant negative effect. Resilience and self-efficacy exhibited significant positive effects on growth mindset, and growth mindset demonstrated the strongest negative effect on anxiety. Growth mindset partially mediated the role of resilience on anxiety and fully mediated the role of self-efficacy on anxiety. Growth mindset functions as an active psychological mechanism in reducing anxiety related to disease burden. These findings provide an empirical basis for developing growth mindset-based psychoeducational interventions to strengthen self-efficacy and psychological resilience, thereby reducing anxiety, and improving treatment adherence among patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Post-traumatic social withdrawal is a common psychological impact experienced by natural disaster survivors and has the potential to hinder the recovery process. In the digital era, online religious-based support is an easily accessible alternative intervention and is considered capable of supporting the psychological adaptation process. This study aims to test the effectiveness of online religious coping intervention in reducing post-traumatic social withdrawal levels in landslide survivors in Batang Regency. The study used an experimental design with two groups: an experimental group that received the intervention and a control group without treatment. Measurements were conducted at the pretest and post-test stages. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney U test to examine differences between groups. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significantly greater reduction in post-traumatic social withdrawal (mean pretest = 49.00; post-test = 25.40) compared to the control group (mean pretest = 50.00; post-test = 45.20). Statistical tests showed a significant difference in post-test scores (p < 0.05), but not in pre-test scores. These findings indicate that online religious coping interventions are effective in reducing post-traumatic social withdrawal symptoms. This research contribution underscores the importance of a technology-based spiritual approach as an adaptive psychological recovery strategy, particularly in disaster contexts and in communities with religious ties. It also broadens understanding of the integration of religious values ​​into modern psychosocial interventions.
