Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readiness of second careers after retirement among members of the Juang Kencana Community of Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (BKKBN) Jambi Province. Using a mixed-methods approach with concurrent design, quantitative data were collected from 31 retirees through questionnaires, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants. The findings reveal that overall, second career readiness is in the high category, with 58.06% of participants demonstrating strong self-efficacy, positive expectations, and clear goals. Self-efficacy emerged as the strongest aspect (70.97% high), followed by outcome expectations (61.29% high), while goals were relatively weaker (54.84% high). Qualitative findings support this by showing that retirees who remain engaged in entrepreneurial or organizational activities feel healthier, more motivated, and socially supported, although challenges such as declining business income, limited participation of community leaders, and irregular activity implementation persist. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of quantitative indicators and qualitative insights, highlighting the importance of family support, community involvement, and organizational platforms in strengthening second career readiness. The implications suggest that policymakers and community organizations should design programs that not only provide economic opportunities but also foster mental resilience and social engagement for retirees, ensuring their continued contribution to society.

Abstract

This research departs from the fundamental problem that the normative construction of Islamic family law still tends to be oriented towards the legal-formal regulation of husband-wife relations and has not adequately positioned the psychological rehabilitation of female victims of domestic violence (KDRT) as an inherent legal need, even though the psychological impact on victims is severe and long-term. This research aims to critically analyze the position of psychological rehabilitation of victims of KDRT in Islamic family law, identify the limitations of the classical fiqh approach and applicable family law regulations, and formulate a reconstruction model of Islamic family law that is oriented towards the psychological recovery of victims in the context of contemporary Muslim society. The theoretical framework used is the concept of mu‘āsyarah bi al-ma‘rūf, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and maṣlaḥah al-Ghazālī, with a normative legal research method enriched with a socio-legal approach; Primary data sources include the Qur'an, hadith, classical and contemporary fiqh literature, and laws and regulations related to domestic violence and Islamic family law, collected through systematic literature studies and analyzed qualitatively and conceptually. The results of the study indicate that psychological rehabilitation of female victims of domestic violence meets the qualifications of maṣlaḥah darūriyyah and therefore can be reconstructed as a normative obligation in Islamic family law, which is implemented through reorientation of religious court practices, strengthening women's rights after violence, and integration of trauma-based recovery services. This study recommends that national policies, particularly in the renewal of Islamic family law, religious court guidelines, and integrated service systems for victims of domestic violence, explicitly integrate psychological rehabilitation as a mandatory part of women's legal protection to ensure sustainable and equitable recovery.

Abstract

This study examines the rehabilitation of women’s mental health after divorce through the reconstruction of Islamic family law in a contemporary context. The main issue identified is the lack of attention to women’s psychological well-being in the practice of Islamic family law, despite the maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah emphasizing the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs). The dominant formal legal paradigm tends to focus on the legality of marriage, divorce, child custody, and alimony without considering the post-divorce psychological impact, leaving women vulnerable to mental health risks, social stigma, and gender inequality. This study aims to reconstruct Islamic family law using a rehabilitative approach that integrates the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and gender justice. A qualitative method with normative-empirical analysis was employed, reviewing Islamic legal sources, fiqh, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), Marriage Law, court decisions, and in-depth interviews with judges, lawyers, and post-divorce women. Findings indicate that gender bias, patriarchy, and weak enforcement of substantive rights exacerbate mental vulnerability. A rehabilitation-based legal reconstruction provides psychological support, mental health-oriented mediation, and respect for women’s decisions, making Islamic family law more humane, gender-responsive, and consistent with maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah.

Abstract

Monopoly and corruption remain major challenges in modern economic governance, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. These problems indicate that economic distortions are not merely caused by regulatory weaknesses, but are also rooted in deviant economic behavior, including moral disengagement, abuse of power, and weak ethical internalization among market actors. This study aims to analyze the hisbah system as an Islamic economic supervisory mechanism and examine its relevance in preventing monopoly and corruption from the perspective of Islamic economic psychology. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using library research methods. Primary sources consist of classical Islamic scholarly works by Al-Māwardī, Ibn Taimiyah, and Al-Ghazālī, while secondary sources include contemporary studies on monopoly, corruption, and economic supervision. In addition, this study incorporates perspectives from economic psychology to analyze behavioral motivations, ethical decision-making, and the psychological factors influencing economic conduct and market behavior. Data are analyzed through content analysis and comparative analysis to explore the behavioral and psychological dimensions of the hisbah system in relation to modern economic governance. The findings indicate that hisbah functioned not only as a legal and administrative institution, but also as a moral and psychological instrument that shaped ethical economic behavior through preventive supervision, value internalization, and social accountability. In contrast, modern supervisory systems tend to be reactive, fragmented, and predominantly legalistic, often neglecting behavioral aspects. This study concludes that integrating hisbah principles into contemporary economic governance can strengthen efforts to prevent monopoly and corruption by fostering ethical behavior and sustainable economic justice.

Abstract

The growing use of artificial intelligence in psychological support has positioned AI-assisted counseling as a promising approach to expand access, reduce stigma, and provide immediate support for students. However, counseling is not merely a technical process; it is fundamentally relational, requiring trust, self-disclosure, and therapeutic alliance to function effectively. Despite increasing interest in AI-based mental health services, limited research has specifically examined how these relational dimensions interact in student populations. This study aimed to investigate students’ trust, disclosure, and therapeutic alliance in AI-assisted counseling, as well as the relationships among these variables. A cross-sectional field survey was conducted with 1,284 undergraduate students from 12 universities across Indonesia. Data were collected using structured Likert-scale instruments and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. The findings showed that students reported moderately positive levels of trust, disclosure, and therapeutic alliance. Trust was positively associated with disclosure and therapeutic alliance, while trust and disclosure jointly predicted therapeutic alliance. These findings suggest that AI-assisted counseling may serve as a valuable initial support tool, but its effectiveness depends heavily on relational acceptance.

Abstract

Self-disclosure is a core competency in counseling, yet many students experience psychological barriers, such as fear of judgment and stigma, that inhibit openness. AI-powered counseling chatbots directly facilitate self-disclosure by providing a non-judgmental and anonymous environment that reduces these barriers. However, empirical evidence in counselor education remains limited. This study examines the role of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) variables in predicting self-disclosure among 76 Guidance and Counseling students at Universitas PGRI Semarang using a cross-sectional design. Results showed moderate levels of perceived ease of use (M = 3.38), perceived usefulness (M = 3.46), attitude toward use (M = 3.18), and self-disclosure (M = 2.94). Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between perceived ease of use (r = 0.20, p = 0.043), perceived usefulness (r = 0.32, p = 0.002), attitude toward use (r = 0.39, p < 0.001), and self-disclosure. Regression results indicated that perceived usefulness (B = 0.29, p = 0.04) and attitude toward use (B = 0.31, p = 0.005) significantly predicted self-disclosure, explaining 35.8% of variance (R² = 0.36). These findings extend TAM by demonstrating that psychological acceptance and perceived value, rather than usability, are the primary drivers of self-disclosure in AI-mediated counseling.

Abstract

The public health issue of mental health is a concern in South Africa. However, studies indicate that only a minority of Black South Africans pursue psychotherapy and/or counselling, while most, around eighty percent, rely on traditional healers for mental health issues, unlike their white counterparts. This qualitative study, grounded in social constructivism and phenomenological design, examined the perceptions of psychotherapy and/or counselling among Black South Africans in the Soweto township of Gauteng Province, South Africa. It aimed to understand this conundrum and discrepancy. Data was generated through individual face-to-face semi-structured interviews and analysed through thematic analysis. The analysis uncovered different themes and sub-themes. The findings revealed that Black individuals have a reasonable understanding of psychotherapy and/or counselling. Furthermore, the study demonstrated a shift in perception among Black South Africans, as they expressed a combination of negative and positive opinions on psychotherapy and/or counselling. The results of this study emphasise the need for heightened awareness campaigns to address, clarify and demystify negative perceptions. Additionally, there is a need for targeted interventions that are relatable, relevant, context-specific, and sensitive to the needs of Black South Africans. Future studies should consider conducting a longitudinal study to monitor the trajectory of the perceptions of Black South Africans over time.

Abstract

The traditional practice of Uleman in the Lampung Pepadun community is often only seen as an Uleman ritual, even though there is a reciprocity mechanism that has a profound impact on the psychological and economic dimensions of the family. This study aims to analyze the practice of Uleman ago nikahken children as a construction of moral obligations using the perspective of Reciprocity Marcel Mauss and the concept of 'Urf Islamic law. Through the qualitative method of field studies in Central Lampung, it was found that the Uleman is an instrument of social legitimacy with four symbolic levels: nagau, cloth, cigarettes, and cleaning tools. Psychologically, the high intensity of the Uleman creates chronic strain for the family in order to maintain dignity (Pi'il Pesenggiri). The inability to reciprocate giving is perceived as a social failure, thus triggering a coping strategy through collective support. Although financially burdensome, this tradition is categorized as 'Urf Saheeh because its essence strengthens solidarity (Sakai Sambayan) and friendship. This study concludes that the psychological dimension in Ulemans is born from the negotiation between moral responsibility, economic capacity, and efforts to maintain family honor under community supervision. The sustainability of this tradition depends on the balance between the preservation of honorary values and the principle of welfare so as not to become a structural burden on Muslim families.

Abstract

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a culturally-adapted emotion regulation intervention for young married couples. Grounded in Gross's process model and integrated with local cultural values, the intervention aimed to enhance psychological well-being and marital happiness. Sixty participants (30 couples) in West Sulawesi were randomly assigned to an 8-session intervention group (n=30) or an active control group receiving standard health education (n=30). Pre- and post-test assessments using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Marital Happiness Scale revealed that the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in emotion regulation (F(1,58)=25.34, p<.001, ηp²=.30), psychological well-being (F(1,58)=18.92, p<.001, ηp²=.25), and marital happiness (F(1,58)=22.15, p<.001, ηp²=.28) compared to controls. Qualitative findings further revealed enhanced emotional awareness and improved dyadic communication. Results support the intervention as an effective clinical-positive psychology model for enhancing mental health and relational well-being in young couples, with significant implications for culturally-informed public mental health initiatives in Indonesia.
