Abstract

This study explores emotion regulation patterns among late adolescents (aged 18-21) from interfaith parental marriages in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, where differing religious values and socialization practices create unique emotional challenges impacting identity formation and family harmony. Employing a qualitative case study approach, in depth interviews with three participants, observations, and document analysis were thematically analyzed using NVivo 12 Plus, with triangulation ensuring credibility. Findings highlight adaptive strategies including cognitive reappraisal, self calming techniques like deep breathing, goal directed behaviors to maintain academic focus, controlled emotional responses for family harmony, and acceptance of mixed emotions such as confusion and guilt, influenced by internal factors (emotional awareness, past experiences) and external supports (peers, open communication). These insights underscore the value of inclusive parenting in multireligious families to bolster emotional resilience and contribute to psychological literature on emotion socialization in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Therapist-like response generation is increasingly discussed in digital mental health, yet most studies either focus on large pretrained systems or show illustrative outputs without a full lightweight benchmark. This paper asks whether small, non-pretrained language models can imitate therapist-style discourse in a reproducible setting. We used EmpatheticDialogues, an empathy-oriented dialogue corpus of roughly 25,000 conversations (Rashkin et al., 2019). Its widely used utterance-level split is 76,673 training records, 12,030 validation records, and 10,943 test records; the parsed conversation release used here contained 19,532/2,769/2,546 dialogues and yielded 40,252/5,736/5,257 listener-turn targets after we restricted supervision to supportive listener responses. We evaluated six lightweight systems on the full validation and test sets: an emotion template, TF-IDF retrieval, retrieval with micro-skill bias, an emotion-conditioned bigram language model, an emotion-conditioned trigram language model, and a trigram model with therapist-style biasing. All reported numbers are measured empirical results. The best overall system, Emotion-TrigramLM+Bias, achieved BLEU-4 of 0.0191 on validation and 0.0183 on test, ROUGE-L of 0.1652/0.1633, and therapist imitation score (TIS) of 0.6500/0.6487. Retrieval remained the most diverse model, reaching test Distinct-2 of 0.2551, but its therapist-style density was low at TIS = 0.2005. Adding therapist micro-skill bias improved retrieval by +0.0042 BLEU-4 and +0.3603 TIS on the test set, and improved the trigram model by +0.0059 BLEU-4 and +0.3056 TIS. Performance was strongest on negative-emotion turns, where acknowledgments and follow-up questions aligned closely with the references. The findings show that very small models can imitate the surface form of therapeutic language surprisingly well, but they do so mainly by compressing support into generic scripts. Lightweight therapist imitation is therefore feasible for low-risk acknowledgment support, but it is not a replacement for licensed mental health care.

Abstract

Generation Z demonstrates a high intensity of internet use and is particularly vulnerable to emotional distress, including anxiety and depression, due to academic and social demands. Online gaming is frequently used as a form of entertainment and a coping strategy; however, excessive gaming may develop into Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). This study aimed to examine the association between emotional distress and Internet Gaming Disorder among university students who play Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 262 university students in Surabaya selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and were analyzed using correlation and linear regression analyses. The results revealed that emotional distress was significantly associated with Internet Gaming Disorder (anxiety: r = 0.396; depression: r = 0.486; p < 0.05). Although both anxiety and depression were positively associated with Internet Gaming Disorder, depression emerged as the stronger predictor of gaming disorder tendencies among university students (β = 0.439). These findings suggest that students may engage in gaming as a maladaptive coping strategy to escape emotional distress. Therefore, university counseling services should implement targeted psychological interventions that promote healthy emotion regulation and adaptive coping strategies to reduce the risk of problematic gaming behavior among Generation Z students.

Abstract

Teachers in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, face complex professional pressures, including post-disaster recovery and a rapid transition to digital administration. This study aims to uncover the mechanisms linking mindfulness and mental health among secondary school teachers in Palu by exploring the mediating role of acceptance and the moderating role of age. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed. The quantitative phase involved 66 junior and senior high school teachers selected through purposive sampling. The participants completed two instruments: the Dispositional Mindfulness at Work Scale and the Mental Health Inventory. Data were analyzed using linear regression and the PROCESS Macro for mediation and moderation testing, followed by thematic analysis in the qualitative phase to deepen the findings from the in-depth interviews with selected participants. The results indicated that correlation and simple regression analyses confirmed that dispositional mindfulness was a significant predictor of mental health, explaining 21% of its variance (B = 0.390, p < .001). Further analysis revealed a full mediation effect of the acceptance component, indicating that dispositional mindfulness requires an accepting attitude to effectively enhance teacher mental health. Additionally, age was a significant moderator (B = -0.048, p = .003), with the protective impact of dispositional mindfulness being notably greater for early-career teachers. Qualitatively, these mechanisms were found to be harmoniously integrated with the local wisdom of Nosarara Nosabatutu. Dispositional mindfulness emerged as the primary psychological resource supporting teacher resilience in a post-disaster, high-digital-demand environment. These findings provide an empirical basis for prioritizing mindfulness-based psychoeducation and interventions in guidance and counseling services.

Abstract

Excessive digital device use has become an increasing concern among students due to its negative effects on concentration, social interaction, and self-regulation. This study investigated the effectiveness of self-regulation-based group guidance in reducing students' tendency toward excessive digital device use. A quantitative quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control-group design was employed involving 16 junior secondary school students, who were equally assigned to experimental and control groups. Data were collected using the Digital Device Use Tendency Scale (Cronbach's α = .931) and analysed using tests of normality and homogeneity, paired-samples t-tests, and independent-samples t-tests. The experimental group demonstrated greater improvement than the control group, as reflected in a higher normalized gain score (50.38% vs. 43.49%) and a statistically significant difference between groups (p = .039). These findings suggest that self-regulation-based group guidance is effective in reducing students' tendency toward excessive digital device use and offers a promising school-based preventive intervention for promoting healthier digital behavior.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe students' aggressive behavior and examine the effectiveness of group guidance services based on behavior modification using the Art Therapy drawing technique in reducing aggressive behavior. The study employed an experimental approach with a Single Subject Research (SSR) A–B design, involving eight junior high school students who met the research criteria. The participants exhibited aggressive behaviors, including both physical and verbal aggression, such as engaging in verbal conflicts, making threats, displaying hostility, mocking peers, hitting or pushing others, and damaging other people's belongings. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure the level of aggressive behavior before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and the N-Gain Test. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores, with a significance value of 0.012 (p < 0.05), indicating that the intervention effectively reduced students' aggressive behavior. All participants showed a decrease in their aggression scores, demonstrating consistent behavioral improvement. Furthermore, the N-Gain result of 66% indicated that the intervention was moderately effective. The Art Therapy drawing technique proved to help students express their emotions constructively, improve self-control, and reduce aggressive tendencies. However, the intervention's effectiveness was not yet optimal due to internal and external factors affecting the participants. Therefore, strengthening the intervention through increased service intensity and greater environmental support is recommended to achieve more optimal and sustainable outcomes.

Abstract

Dating violence is a serious issue among university students in romantic relationships, especially for those with a history of toxic relationships. It can negatively impact psychological well-being. Key psychological factors, such as neuroticism and forgiveness, influence this condition. Given the importance of healthy romantic relationships in emerging adulthood, this study examined how neuroticism and forgiveness predict dating violence in university students with toxic relationship experiences. This study used a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression. The sample included 404 Indonesian university students aged 18–25, all with toxic relationship experiences. Participants were selected with incidental sampling and online questionnaires. The study used the Neuroticism Scale (α = 0.898), Forgiveness Scale (α = 0.749), and Dating Violence Scale (α = 0.955). Data were analyzed using Jamovi version 2.7.6. The results showed that neuroticism and forgiveness simultaneously had a significant effect on dating violence (F = 513.5; p < 0.001). Partially, neuroticism was found to be a significant positive predictor of dating violence, while forgiveness was a significant negative predictor of dating violence. This study highlights that neuroticism acts as a risk factor, whereas forgiveness serves as a protective factor against dating violence among university students with a history of toxic relationships. Therefore, it is essential to develop psychological interventions that focus on emotional regulation and the enhancement of forgiveness to promote healthier romantic relationships.

Abstract

Child grooming represents a growing challenge for child protection because it commonly occurs before sexual abuse and is often disguised as caring or supportive behaviour, making early recognition difficult. This study aimed to explore how primary school teachers and parents understand child grooming and perceive strategies for its prevention. A qualitative phenomenological design was adopted to capture participants' lived perspectives. 12 participants, including six teachers and six parents, were purposively selected. Child grooming is an increasing child protection concern because perpetrators often conceal abusive intentions through seemingly caring relationships. This study explored how primary school teachers and parents understand child grooming and the preventive strategies they consider effective in the Indonesian context. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed. Twelve participants were purposively recruited, comprising six primary school teachers responsible for pupils' welfare and six parents of primary school children. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. Participants understood grooming as a gradual process of psychological manipulation involving trust-building, emotional dependency, and the exploitation of children's developmental vulnerabilities. They identified age-appropriate sexuality education, body autonomy, self-protection skills, digital safety awareness, and school–family collaboration as key preventive strategies. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening adults' understanding of grooming to support early identification and prevention. This study contributes contextually relevant evidence for developing school- and family-based child safeguarding initiatives in Indonesia.
