Abstract

Adolescence is a critical stage for identity formation, social development, and career preparation. In Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), intensive peer interactions offer vital social support but can expose students to verbal violence like ridicule. While research often examines social support in career development, peer verbal violence remains understudied as a psychosocial risk factor for Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy (CDMSE) and career adaptability in these unique settings. Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and Career Construction Theory, this quantitative correlational study investigated the relationships among peer verbal violence, CDMSE, and career adaptability. Utilizing purposive and stratified random sampling, data were collected from 156 senior high school students via validated Likert-scale instruments and analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. The findings revealed that peer verbal violence was significantly and negatively associated with CDMSE (r = -0.831, p < .001) and career adaptability (r = -0.913, p < .001). Increased exposure to verbal violence correlated with lower career decision-making confidence and reduced adaptability to future career transitions. These results support the SCCT proposition that adverse social environments act as contextual barriers undermining self-efficacy, which directly links to career adaptability within Career Construction Theory. This study contributes to career development literature by extending these theories to the continuous peer environment of pesantren. Consequently, educational institutions must strengthen anti-bullying policies, cultivate positive peer dynamics, and design comprehensive counseling interventions to enhance students' career self-efficacy and adaptability

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Islamic Religious Counselors in mitigating divorce among early-marriage couples through persuasive communication. Although early marriage is frequently associated with an elevated risk of marital instability, limited research has explored how religious counseling contributes to divorce prevention. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, this study gathered data through observation and in-depth interviews with religious counselors and institutional leaders involved in marital guidance. Data were analyzed using Carl I. Hovland’s Persuasive Communication Theory. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Counselors serve a critical function in preventing marital dissolution by deploying persuasive, dialogical, and non-judgmental communication. Key strategies include bidirectional communication, accessible language, storytelling, and family involvement. These approaches foster greater openness, emotional stability, and constructive conflict resolution among couples. Ultimately, this study underscores the potential of faith-based counseling as an effective communication strategy for strengthening marital resilience and reducing the risk of divorce in early marriages

Abstract

Self-compassion has been increasingly recognized as a vital factor in promoting mental health, while Islamic counseling emphasizes the integration of spiritual values into the therapeutic process. However, research combining these two paradigms remains limited, and no comprehensive synthesis has systematically examined their conceptual relationship or potential integration within clinical practice. This study aimed to synthesize the existing literature on self-compassion and Islamic counseling to explore their integrative potential in supporting mental health. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive literature search within the Scopus database yielded 53 peer-reviewed articles that met the established inclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using thematic and narrative synthesis to identify core themes, conceptual alignments, and research gaps. The findings indicate that self-compassion fosters enhanced emotion regulation, resilience, and adaptive coping, while Islamic counseling promotes psychological well-being through the spiritual principles of rahmah (compassion), muhasabah (self-reflection), tawakkul (trust in God), and tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul). Furthermore, the review revealed a robust conceptual alignment between the psychological mechanisms of self-compassion and the core tenets of Islamic counseling. These findings establish a solid conceptual foundation for developing an integrative Islamic counseling model that incorporates self-compassion, ultimately contributing to more holistic, culturally responsive mental health interventions for Muslim populations

Abstract

Academic anxiety poses a critical challenge within school counseling frameworks due to its detrimental effects on cognitive focus, academic drive, performance outcomes, and overall psychological well-being. These vulnerabilities are often exacerbated in residential educational settings, where rigorous academic obligations intersect with boarding school responsibilities. To address the need for validated assessment tools in this context, this study adapted the Academic Anxiety Scale (AAS) into Indonesian and evaluated its psychometric integrity among Islamic senior high school students in boarding environments. A cross-sectional psychometric design was conducted with a sample of 342 students aged 15–19 years. The adaptation protocol encompassed forward-back translation, expert appraisal, cross-cultural adaptation, pilot readability testing, and content validity quantification via the Content Validity Index (CVI). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to test structural validity, while Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s Omega evaluated internal consistency reliability. Expert review yielded robust content validity (S-CVI = 1.00), and CFA confirmed the instrument's original unidimensional structure with favorable goodness-of-fit parameters (CFI = .924, TLI = .905, IFI = .925, GFI = .977, RMSEA = .089, SRMR = .044). Internal reliability was exceptionally strong (Cronbach’s α = .894; McDonald’s ω = .898). These psychometric outcomes demonstrate that the Indonesian AAS is a valid, reliable, and culturally sound tool for measuring academic anxiety in boarding school populations, offering educational counselors and researchers a robust diagnostic instrument to support targeted mental health interventions.

Abstract

Happiness serves as a fundamental pillar of university students’ psychological well-being; yet, empirical investigations targeting cohorts within Islamic communication disciplines remain underrepresented in the literature. Addressing this knowledge gap, the present study quantified the impact of gratitude on happiness levels among undergraduate students enrolled in the Faculty of Da’wah and Communication at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. Utilizing a quantitative predictive correlational design, data were gathered through Likert-scale questionnaires administered to a purposively sampled cohort of 100 active students spanning their 2nd, 4th, and 6th academic semesters. Simple linear regression executed via IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 25.0) revealed a statistically significant positive effect of gratitude on student happiness (p < .05, p = .000). The regression equation, Y = 18.419 + 0.492X, indicates that each unit increase in gratitude corresponds to a 0.492-unit enhancement in happiness. Furthermore, an Adjusted R² value of .314 demonstrates that gratitude accounts for 31.4% of the variance in happiness levels, leaving the remaining 68.6% attributable to unexamined external variables. These empirical insights underscore gratitude as a viable psychological determinant of student happiness, offering actionable implications for higher education institutions to design targeted character-building initiatives and well-being interventions

Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of parental social support on Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy (CDMSE) among 12th-grade students at MAN 1 Deli Serdang. Utilizing a quantitative causal-associative design, data were gathered from a purposively selected sample of 114 active senior high school students drawn from a target population of 199. Measurement was conducted via a 27-item Likert-scale instrument, with data subjected to validity, reliability, classical assumption, and simple linear regression analyses. Empirical results demonstrated a statistically significant positive effect of parental social support on students' career decision-making confidence ( ), yielding a regression coefficient of 0.634. The adjusted  value of .341 revealed that parental support accounts for 34.1% of the variance in students' CDMSE, with the remaining 65.9% attributable to unexamined external factors. These insights underscore parental involvement—encompassing emotional support, information provision, instrumental assistance, and validation—as a key determinant in student career confidence. Consequently, the findings advocate for integrated school counseling frameworks that actively incorporate parental collaboration to enhance career guidance and decision-making readiness in madrasah settings.

Abstract

This study addressed the assessment gap in special education by developing and validating a contextualized employability scale for deaf students framed within the USEM model (Understanding, Skills, Efficacy Beliefs, and Metacognition). Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the Four-D (4D) model—encompassing the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate phases—the instrument underwent expert appraisal by panel members in guidance and counseling, special education, and psychology. Empirical evaluation involved a pilot trial () and field testing with 40 deaf students attending Special Senior High Schools (SMALB). Content validity quantified via Aiken’s V ranged from 0.83 to 1.00 across retained items, demonstrating high expert consensus. Item discrimination analysis using Corrected Item–Total Correlation (CITC) retained 22 of the original 30 items, removing eight items falling below the 0.30 threshold. The refined 22-item scale exhibited superior internal consistency reliability (). These psychometric properties confirm that the scale is a valid and reliable assessment tool tailored to the communication and career development profiles of deaf learners, offering counselors and educators a robust instrument to optimize transition-to-work initiatives and vocational guidance.
