Abstract

The main focus of this narrative review is to reveal an explanation of how certain parenting styles impact the development of certain dark personality traits in individuals, as well as identify various forms of undesirable behavior as outcomes of dark personality traits. Researchers agree that in addition to genetic factors, an individual’s dark personality is influenced by environmental factors. Based on a review of the literature, the dynamics of the influence of parenting styles on the development of dark personality traits in individuals can be explained through the perspectives of evolutionary psychology theory, life history theory, self-determination theory, and social learning theory. In addition, it can be concluded that some outcomes of dark personality are in the form of various types of undesirable behavior.

Abstract

Maluku is one of Indonesia's regencies, famous for having a harmonious inter-religious life, one of which is because of the panas pela tradition that binds its people to live side by side like brothers and sisters, regardless of differences in belief. However, in 1999 a conflict arose in Maluku and created tension between Christian and Muslim residents. The impact is still clearly visible today in the segregation of residential areas based on religion. Apart from that, a small portion of the Christian people still choose to live in the middle of Muslim settlements. The same thing also applies to a small portion of the Muslim people who still live in Christian residential areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the form of placemaking of Christians and Muslims to create a comfortable and safe place to live even though they are in the middle of a religious group that has been involved in conflict with them. This study was conducted through a qualitative design using interview and map elicitation methods involving 10 respondents. The results revealed three main forms of placemaking for Ambon city residents, namely building positive interactions with neighbors of different religions (relational), reflecting on narratives and memories of the past (historical), and entrusting security and safety to God (spiritual). The findings offer valuable insights for local communities and authorities in developing strategies to promote inclusive, interfaith coexistence in areas affected by past conflict.

Abstract

The 2022 ASN work engagement survey, conducted by the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia, shows that the percentage of ASN employees in administrative positions is lower than the percentage of employees in other positions. This study was conducted with the aim of empirically determining the influence of organizational climate on job engagement with job satisfaction as a mediator. The main hypothesis of this study is to determine whether job satisfaction can mediate the relationship between organizational climate and job engagement among civil servants. This study used a quantitative method with 183 civil servants as the research sample. This study employs three types of scales: Job Engagement UWES (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale), Organizational Climate using OCQ (Organizational Climate Questionnaire), and Job Satisfaction using MSQ (Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire). The SPSS 25 program for Windows was used to analyze research data using mediation regression techniques. The results of the study showed that organizational climate had a significant effect on job engagement with job satisfaction as a mediator with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The R value is 0.301. Job satisfaction as a mediator is very important because when there is a fair, open, and supportive work environment, it does not immediately make employees engaged in their work. Instead, when the work environment creates job satisfaction, this will encourage employees to be more emotionally, cognitively, and physically engaged in their work.

Abstract

Romantic relationships in early adulthood have been shown to have a significant impact on an individual's sense of self-worth, particularly when self-esteem becomes dependent on relational dynamics. This study explores the manifestation and impact of Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem (RCSE) on psychological well-being among young adults in Padang, Indonesia. A qualitative survey approach was utilized to collect data from 200 participants (75 males and 125 females) through open-ended questionnaires designed to capture personal experiences and perceptions related to self-worth in romantic contexts. Thematic analysis was conducted using MAXQDA software in three stages: open coding to identify key concepts, axial coding to uncover patterns, and selective coding to synthesize overarching themes. The findings of the present study indicate that external validation from romantic partners plays a pivotal role in shaping self-evaluation and emotional states. Dependence on partner approval has been demonstrated to correspond with fluctuations in self-esteem, which in turn has been demonstrated to impact overall psychological well-being. The findings underscore the importance of addressing emotional vulnerabilities in romantic relationships. The necessity for targeted interventions, such as psychoeducational programs and emotional regulation training, is also suggested. The purpose of these interventions is to foster emotional resilience and promote healthy relational development during early adulthood.

Abstract

The increase in the number of international students from Indonesia continues. Cultural and environmental differences between home countries and study destinations present significant challenges, one of which is loneliness, which is a common problem among students. Studies show that loneliness affects the mental and academic health of international students, including those from Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of loneliness on psychological well-being and its six dimensions in Indonesian students studying abroad. This study used a quantitative correlational approach, with the research instruments being the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Psychological Wellbeing Scale. A total of 214 participants were selected through purposive sampling and analysed using multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results showed that the majority of participants had low levels of loneliness (79.4%) and high psychological well-being (69.2%). Furthermore, loneliness had a negative role on each dimension of psychological well-being and overall psychological well-being with a range of 0.232-0.518. Thus, it can be concluded that the lower the loneliness of university students, the higher their psychological well-being and conversely. The findings imply the need to increase students' awareness of psychological health and the active role of student organisations in facilitating self-adjustment and strengthening social relationships to maintain the psychological well-being of Indonesian students abroad.

Abstract

This study explores the evolving role of the metaverse in education, with a particular focus on emerging trends, pedagogical applications, and the transformative potential of family-school interactions within virtual learning environments. This study examined articles from January 2000 to May 2025 using a narrative review method. The statistical population of the study includes all studies conducted on education in the metaverse, and through content analysis, research trends, patterns, geographical distribution, opportunities, and challenges of education in the metaverse were examined. Through a comprehensive review, we identify three dominant trends: (1) increasing adoption of immersive technologies in STEM and arts education, (2) growing research interest post-pandemic, particularly in North America and East Asia, and (3) the development of multi-layered educational interactions (student-teacher, peer-to-peer, and parent-school). Key applications demonstrate the metaverse's capacity to enable borderless collaboration, personalized learning through AI analytics, and culturally inclusive educational experiences. The analysis reveals significant opportunities for family engagement, including real-time parental participation in learning processes and enhanced safety monitoring features. However, critical challenges emerge, including digital equity gaps (particularly in Middle Eastern and African contexts), privacy concerns, technological addiction risks, and special needs accessibility barriers. The findings suggest that while the metaverse offers innovative pathways for reimagining education, its successful integration requires addressing infrastructural limitations, developing ethical frameworks, and implementing targeted teacher and parent training programs. This review contributes to ongoing discussions about digital transformation in education by highlighting both the disruptive potential and implementation complexities of metaverse technologies in family-school ecosystems.

Abstract

Understanding how teaching experience and teacher efficacy relate to classroom performance is essential for strengthening early childhood education. This study examined the relationships among teaching experience, teacher efficacy, and teaching performance of kindergarten teachers in Manicahan District to determine whether professional experience and confidence translate into improved instructional performance. In this study, teaching experience is operationally defined as the teachers’ length of service in years in kindergarten teaching; however, when measured using a Likert-scale instrument, it refers to self-reported teaching practice engagement, which is interpreted as perceived teaching practice rather than actual years of service to avoid misleading conclusions. Teacher efficacy refers to teachers’ beliefs in their capability to perform instructional tasks effectively, while teaching performance refers to their actual performance ratings based on official evaluation records. Guided by the assumption that greater experience enhances efficacy and performance, the study employed a descriptive–correlational research design. Data were collected from 35 kindergarten teachers during the 2024–2025 academic year using a validated survey questionnaire and official performance records. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson product–moment correlation, and analysis of variance. Results indicated that teachers demonstrated high levels of teaching experience and teacher efficacy and were rated very satisfactory in performance. ** Teaching experience showed a significant positive relationship with teacher efficacy (r = .439, p = .009, 95% CI [, ], moderate effect) but was not significantly related to teaching performance (r = –.096, p = .584, small effect). Teacher efficacy also did not significantly correlate with teaching performance (r = .057, p = .751, small effect). These findings indicate that while experience is associated with higher efficacy, neither experience nor efficacy alone directly translates into improved teaching performance, suggesting the need for further investigation of other influencing factors. The study highlights the importance of strengthening professional development systems, instructional support, and school-based mentoring to enhance early childhood teaching effectiveness.

Abstract

Female sex workers (FSWs) often manage a concealable, stigmatized identity, yet some are known within their neighborhoods. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this study examined how five Indonesian FSWs (35–45 years) living in Central Java made sense of “living openly” and mental health as emotional, psychological, and social well-being. “Living openly” was defined as negotiated openness: at least some community members (e.g., neighbors, informal leaders, and/or family) knew participants’ work status, while operational details were deliberately withheld. Participants were recruited via snowball sampling and completed in-depth interviews in Indonesian; excerpts were translated into English for reporting. Idiographic accounts converged in four cross-case themes: (1) boundary work that eased the burden of secrecy without requiring total disclosure; (2) emotional relief coexisting with vigilance as stigma resurfaced through gossip, moral judgment, harassment, and safety concerns; (3) psychological well-being sustained by time–space separation between work and home, privacy management, selective trust, and meaning anchored in caregiving roles; and (4) social well-being built through routine participation and visible contribution to community activities under conditional acceptance. The findings position openness as a continuing social practice through which well-being is reconstructed amid persistent stigma and structural vulnerability. Implications highlight harm-reduction norms, safe spaces, and family support.

Abstract

Quality of life (QoL) is shaped by a complex interplay of relational and psychological processes, yet the integrated contribution of attachment styles, love attitudes, and spiritual intelligence remains insufficiently understood, particularly in non-Western contexts. The present study examined the predictive role of these constructs in a sample of 201 young adults (18–30 years) in India. Participants completed standardized measures of attachment, love attitudes, spiritual intelligence, and QoL. Data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression to assess the incremental contribution of each set of predictors. Attachment styles significantly predicted QoL in the initial model, with anxious attachment negatively associated and dependent attachment positively associated with QoL. The inclusion of love attitudes explained additional variance, with eros and pragma emerging as negative predictors and mania as a positive predictor. In the final step, spiritual intelligence contributed significant incremental variance, with personal meaning production and conscious state expansion emerging as positive predictors. However, in the combined model, only selected predictors retained significance, indicating substantial shared variance across constructs. These findings suggest that quality of life is best understood as an outcome of interacting relational and meaning-making systems, where attachment-based regulation and existential resources play a more foundational role than romantic attitudes alone. The results are discussed in light of attachment theory, meaning-making frameworks, and the cultural context of emerging adulthood in India.

Abstract

Aging is becoming increasingly common worldwide, which has a profound impact on the social structure, making it imperative to enhance the life satisfaction of the middle-aged and older adults. While life satisfaction serves as a crucial metric for assessing quality of life in aging societies, empirical evidence suggests improvement lags behind advancements in medical technology and living standards. Thus, identifying the key factors influencing their life satisfaction is crucial. We employed data from 12,525 validated samples from the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study to examine sleep's impact on life satisfaction through multiple mediation modeling. The findings revealed that insufficient sleep emerged as a widespread phenomenon significantly compromising the life satisfaction of the middle-aged and older adults. Physical health and depressive symptoms mediated 85% of sleep's total effect, with depressive symptoms alone accounting for 65% of the mediation. The disproportionate mediation effect of depressive symptoms highlights mental health's critical role in the well-being assessment of the middle-aged and older adults.
