Abstract

Early marriage under age 19 in East Nusa Tenggara remains high, driven by low education, child-rearing practices, and economic vulnerability. This study aims to describe and analyze the socio-emotional development of women who have committed to early marriage due to out-of-wedlock pregnancy in Kupang City. This study uses a qualitative, descriptive approach. The informants consisted of five women who had an out-of-wedlock pregnancy and were married under the age of 19. The results of the study showed that women who experienced early marriage due to out-of-wedlock pregnancies faced emotional challenges in the form of shame, social rejection, and psychological pressure from the surrounding environment. However, family support and self-acceptance are essential factors that can strengthen their emotional resilience. This research emphasizes the importance of the role of social support in assisting women who experience this condition and the urgency of preventing early marriage through education and policy interventions.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an agrarian country, is highly dependent on the agricultural sector, including in East Nusa Tenggara Province, which is dominated by dryland areas and prone to crop failure. The impact is not only economic but also psychological, such as stress and depression. Nevertheless, some farmers remain able to survive, demonstrating resilience. This study aims to describe the resilience and adaptive strategies of farmers in dryland areas using a qualitative phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews. The results show that resilience is shaped by family responsibility, land ownership, positive mindset, spiritual beliefs, self-confidence, and dependence on farming. Resilient farmers can manage emotions, think optimistically, and develop adaptive strategies. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for policies to support the resilience of farmers in drought-prone areas.

Abstract

Adolescence is a period when individuals begin to pay more attention to their physical condition, which is known as body image. Body image is defined as an individual's perception of how satisfied and accepting they are of their physical appearance, which is influenced by their own perceptions. Self-esteem is the result of an individual's evaluation of themselves, expressed in their attitudes and acceptance of their qualities. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between body image and self-esteem among female psychology students at Nusa Cendana University, involving 156 female participants. This study employed a quantitative research method through the distribution of questionnaires. The hypothesis test found a significance value of 0.006 < 0.05, which means that the study indicates a relationship between body image and self-esteem among female students. Students with a better perception of their body image tend to show positive emotional responses, including self-esteem.

Abstract

This study aims to describe online friendships among vocational high school (SMK) students in Kupang City. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving 362 students from five public and private vocational schools in Kupang City. The instrument used was the Online Friendship Scale developed by Helmi, Widhiarso, and Husna (2017), which includes four aspects: sharing, voluntariness, companionship, and mutual support. The results indicate that adolescents are fairly active in engaging in online peer interactions; however, the intensity, closeness, and social support developed through these interactions have not yet reached an optimal level. The aspects of sharing and voluntariness reflected good openness and willingness, while companionship and mutual support were at high levels, indicating the presence of positive social support in digital media. These findings highlight the importance of digital literacy and character guidance to strengthen adolescents’ social relationships in a healthy and meaningful way.

Abstract

Throughout life, individuals face many important choices, including career decisions. This is a crucial stage for students in the transition to the world of work. This systematic literature review examines the factors that influence students' career decision-making using the PRISMA framework in empirical articles between 2015 and 2025; from 320 initial articles, 8 relevant studies were selected. The main findings show that self-efficacy, self-understanding, emotional intelligence, parenting, career counseling, and social support (family and friends) play an important role in improving students' ability to make career decisions. Practical implications highlight the need for self-development programs and career guidance services in higher education to improve students' career readiness.

Abstract

Marriage practices rooted in local cultural traditions often shape women’s psychological experiences and well-being. In the Nagekeo community, the ‘belis’ tradition not only represents social respect and cultural identity but also presents social, economic, and emotional challenges for women within marital life. This study aims to identify the factors that influence women's optimism with belis in Nagekeo, using a descriptive qualitative method with 7 participants. Data were collected through interviews and thematic analysis. The results found four main themes that shape women's optimism: (1) social support, including support from husbands, children, immediate family, and the social environment; (2) self-esteem that arises from social appreciation and acceptance after the belis process; (3) self-confidence through involvement in decision-making, adaptability, and self-control; (4) accumulated experience, including readiness for marriage and spiritual conviction. These findings show that women's optimism is shaped by mutually reinforcing factors that help them persevere and view marriage positively.

Abstract

Sexual violence against men remains underdiscussed and is often marginalized due to prevailing masculinity stigma. This study aims to explore the psychological experiences of male survivors of sexual violence in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara. The research employed a qualitative approach using the photovoice method for data collection, involving five male survivors of sexual violence. Thematic analysis identified four main themes. First, the forms of sexual violence experienced included conventional violence (physical, verbal, and non-verbal) as well as digital sexual violence. Second, survivors experienced revictimization through masculinity stigma and barriers to seeking help. Third, survivors’ psychological responses emerged spontaneously across cognitive, affective, and conative domains. Fourth, survivors developed psychological capital in the form of self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience. This study highlights that the psychological experiences of male survivors are complex and shaped by gender norms and social contexts, thus requiring inclusive and gender-sensitive approaches.

Abstract

Soe Regional Public Hospital, the main referral hospital in South Central Timor Regency, faces a high workload along with limited family-friendly policies and psychosocial support. These conditions affect working women who perform dual roles, potentially influencing their psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the effect of work–life balance on the psychological well-being of women at Soe Regional Public Hospital. A quantitative approach with simple regression analysis was applied to 60 married women aged 21–40 years using total sampling. Data were collected using work–life balance (Greenhaus et al., 2003) and psychological well-being scales (Ryff et al., 2004), and analyzed with SPSS. Results showed moderate work–life balance and fairly good psychological well-being. Regression analysis indicated a positive and significant effect (p < 0.05), with a contribution of 44.2%, while 55.8% was influenced by other factors.

Abstract

Occupational depression is a global issue impacting productivity, yet attention to administrative staff in higher education remains limited. A preliminary survey at Nusa Cendana University indicated that 28% of administrative staff exhibited symptoms of depression. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of such depression by examining psychological well-being, work-life balance, and work environment. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with six administrative staff members identified with depression and analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Results identified three key themes: personal life interference with work because of family dysfunction, workplace ambivalence as a stressor, emotional escape, and manifestations of psychological collapse. It is concluded that depression among administrative staff represents a complex interaction between personal life issues and institutional pressures. These findings highlight the urgency of interventions through the development and implementation of policies that support mental health.

Abstract

Introduction Anxiety prevalence among PDL is 40% to 100%, and unmanaged anxiety may lead to more severe psychological and health concerns. Aim This study examined the mediating role of forgiveness in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and anxiety among PDL. Methods A cross-sectional non-experimental design was conducted among 376 PDL. Participants completed the ACEQ, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and GAD-7. Data were analyzed using correlation, regression, and mediation analyses. Results ACEs were positively associated with anxiety (r = .43, p < .001) and negatively associated with forgiveness (r = -.16, p = .002), while forgiveness was negatively associated with anxiety (r = -.37, p < .001). Forgiveness partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and anxiety (β = 0.104, p = .004). Conclusion Forgiveness partially mediates the relationship between ACEs and anxiety; however, trauma-informed interventions remain necessary to address underlying childhood adversity and reduce anxiety among PDL.
