Abstract

Adolescence is a phase filled with uncertainty and confusion, especially when adolescents face academic failures, personal achievements, family pressures and physical images that cause emotional stress and emotional instability that affect adolescents' self-esteem. To overcome these challenges, adolescents must develop self-compassion, which is a good attitude towards themselves in dealing with failure and achieving psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to determine the self-compassion profile of adolescents in senior high school. The research method used a quantitative survey design with 105 samples of senior high school adolescents (aged 16-17 years, the majority of Sundanese ethnicity, residing in rural areas). The research showed that adolescents' self-compassion was classified as moderate (95% = 100), high (1% = 1) and low (4% = 4). This condition coveyed that adolescents hadmoderate self-compassion although it was not too high. Descriptive test results showed a Cronbach Alpha of 0.415 in the moderate category with male adolescent having higher levels of self-compassion (mean 54.5) compared to female adolescent (mean 50.8). This finding highlights the importance of adolescents to master self-compassion in promoting emotional stability and resilience when facing any failure. Then the need for guidance and counseling programs focusingon developing self-compassion such as mindful self-compassion.

Abstract

Cultural awareness in schools is increasingly important in the face of the impact of globalization, especially in promoting an understanding of homogenization, national culture and the influence of consumerism. The ability to adapt in diverse cultural contexts is a key skill in the current era of globalization, where this phenomenon is changing our interactions, work and lifestyles. Multicultural awareness is key to understanding, appreciating and responding to cultural diversity in various contexts, as well as being the foundation for developing inclusive attitudes and improving the quality of interactions between individuals in schools. This study used a systematic literature review with 12 journals (shorted from 98 articles) to find multicultural counseling services that increase cultural awareness in adolescents. The study followed three stages of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA): identification of the records, screening for possible eligibility, and inclusion of the studies. The results of this study showed that the implementation and development of cultural awareness in multicultural counseling services was an important step to create an inclusive educational environment for students from various cultural backgrounds. Multicultural counseling strategies involve a holistic approach to promote understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. Training counselors in cultural awareness is also important to increase the effectiveness of counseling services. Future research is expected to explore more deeply the role of counselors' cultural awareness in improving interactions with students from different cultural backgrounds and its impact on service quality and student outcomes.

Abstract

Family economic problems represent a critical factor that can disrupt household harmony and overall well-being. Financial stressors such as income instability, debt, lack of financial management skills, and differing financial values may undermine communication, intensify conflict, and diminish emotional support among family members. This study aims to explore the role of counselors in addressing economic challenges within families and fostering harmony through family counseling. Employing a qualitative approach, data were gathered to capture in-depth perspectives on the impact of economic issues and the interventions provided. Family counseling is viewed as a process that engages all members in identifying problems, enhancing communication, and developing mutually beneficial solutions. Counselors utilize various approaches, including systemic family therapy, narrative methods, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, while integrating financial planning and collaborating with financial experts when necessary. Findings indicate that effective counseling interventions contribute to increased family resilience, improved emotional stability, and strengthened interpersonal relationships, even in the context of severe economic strain. This study underscores the importance of combining psychosocial support with financial guidance to restore harmony, maintain stability, and promote a cohesive, supportive family environment.

Abstract

Compared to student-athletes who attend special sports schools, those enrolled in public or religious schools tend to face greater obstacles, particularly in terms of mentoring and facilities. This phenomenological research aims to portray the mental toughness of student-athletes and their strategies for balancing their roles as athletes, students, and children while attending Middle School Muhammadiyah 12 GKB Gresik. Using semi-structured interviews with four student-athletes-selected based on the uniqueness of their sport and their willingness to participate: the researchers found that these student-athletes demonstrated good and mature mental toughness, as they were able to persevere and find solutions when facing obstacles and psychological pressures from training, competing, participating in school learning, and taking time to interact with family members at home. However, the school still needs to provide psychological support to further strengthen mental toughness through self-awareness training, imagery, and self-talk at least once per semester. The findings of this study can help fill the gap in field data on student-athletes in religious-based junior high schools in Indonesia and may inspire Islamic junior high school management to consider accepting student-athletes.

Abstract

Mental health among university students is a critical issue that affects academic performance, quality of life, and overall well-being. This study aims to develop and validate the Student Mental Health Scale (SMHS), a culturally contextualized instrument designed to assess mental health status among Indonesian university students. Utilizing a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from students across nine faculties at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The Rasch Model was employed for data analysis, providing precise and objective insights into mental health distribution. Results indicated that 19.8% of students demonstrated healthy mental status, 59.5% experienced moderate mental health concerns, and 20.6% exhibited poor mental health. These findings suggest that approximately 80% of university students require mental health support, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive campus-based interventions. Key stressors include academic pressures, social dynamics, and financial burdens, with female students showing greater vulnerability. Effective interventions, such as peer support programs and resilience training, are therefore essential. This study underscores the importance of distinguishing between universal mental health instruments and culturally adapted tools, with the SMHS filling a critical gap by providing contextually appropriate assessments that international scales cannot adequately capture in Indonesian university settings. The findings hold significant implications for mental health interventions and institutional strategies in higher education.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Indonesian adaptation of the Cyber Bullying Perpetration (CBP) and Cyber Bullying Victimization (CBV) scales originally developed by Lee et al. (2017). The adaptation process involved translation, back-translation, expert judgment, and pilot testing to ensure conceptual and cultural equivalence. The final instrument consisted of 18 items rated on a four-point Likert scale (1 = never to 4 = very often) and was administered to a sample of 389 undergraduate students aged 19–22 years from three provinces in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The scales measured three dimensions of cyberbullying behavior: verbal-written bullying, visual-sexual bullying, and social exclusion. Results of the reliability analysis showed high internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients exceeding 0.80 across most indicators. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) further demonstrated acceptable model fit indices, confirming that the adapted scales were theoretically robust and empirically supported. Although certain items in the social exclusion subscale showed lower correlations, the overall instrument demonstrated strong psychometric properties. These findings indicate that the Indonesian version of the CBP and CBV scales is both valid and reliable, making it suitable for research and practical applications in higher education contexts. The study contributes to the development of culturally relevant tools for assessing cyberbullying, providing essential insights for prevention, intervention, and future research.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the career well-being profile of guidance and counseling teachers in Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative approach with a comparative design to examine differences in the career well-being of guidance and counseling teachers based on years of service. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether significant differences in career well-being existed among groups with different lengths of service. In addition, descriptive statistics were used to provide an overview of the levels of career well-being among guidance and counseling teachers in Indonesia. The population in this research was guidance and counseling teachers in Indonesia. The sample consisted of 1,000 guidance and counseling teachers who were selected using simple random sampling; therefore, each member of the population had the same opportunity to be chosen without bias. Data were collected using a career well-being scale based on Coetzee's theory, developed by the researchers. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability using the Rasch Model and was then distributed via Google Forms. Data analysis used percentage-based statistical formulas. The career well-being difference test showed a Sig. value of 0.00, which means guidance and counseling teachers had differences in career well-being based on their work experience. This research concludes that the longer the work experience of guidance and counseling teachers, the higher their level of career well-being. This study recommends analyzing other factors that influence the career well-being of guidance and counseling teachers in Indonesia, such as educational background, work environment, organizational support, and workload, to obtain a more comprehensive picture.

Abstract

The phenomenon of microaggressions is a manifestation of implicit discrimination that threatens the psychological health of adolescents, with a prevalence of 84% in Southeast Asia and an escalation of 27% in identity-based bullying cases in the 2022–2023 period. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to analyze the integration of the values of the Gending Sriwijaya Dance as a group counseling modality to reduce microaggression behavior among junior high school students. The methodology used a systematic literature review with the PRISMA protocol and analyzed 15 high-quality articles from the period 2020–2024. The findings identified the intrinsic values of dance, including respect, togetherness, subtlety, and wisdom, that were significantly correlated with the formation of intercultural tolerance. The Gending Sriwijaya dance was chosen in the SLR because it contains a local cultural philosophy that is responsive to the socio-cultural context of Indonesia and has transformative potential in psychological intervention. The group counseling model based on embodied learning through the philosophical and kinesthetic dimensions of dance showed superior effectiveness in enhancing empathy and inclusive behavior compared to conventional interventions. The research contributes by providing an innovative theoretical framework for culturally responsive counseling and recommendations for the development of structured intervention modules as well as multicultural competency training for educational counselors.
