Psikologia: Jurnal Pemikiran dan Penelitian Psikologi
Psikologia: Jurnal Pemikiran dan Penelitian Psikologi is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in psychology, managed by the Faculty of Psychology Universitas Sumatera Utara. The journal aims to accommodate the exchange of ideas among Indonesian psychologists and scientists, but also to disseminate their scientific propositions and empirical findings to the global community. Since 2016, the journal has been published in an electronic form to facilitate the rapid dissemination of research findings. The journal focuses on bringing psychological science theory, empirical evidence, and practice to explain and provide solutions to social and behavioral problems that are especially relevant but not limited to Indonesian society. As such, we accept a wide range of research domains in psychology, including social psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, educational psychology, developmental psychology, and clinical psychology. We believe that human behaviors and societal problems can be approached through various methodologies. For this reason, we accept not only sound and reproducible quantitative studies but also the rich narratives of qualitative inquiries. We also encourage the mix of both methodologies. By considering that most psychological research has been conducted among WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) samples, we believe that it is important to test and replicate mainstream psychological theories and findings among Indonesian in particular and other non-WEIRD societies in general. As such, we promote not only new and novel ideas but also studies that are aimed to validate mainstream psychological theories and research

<![CDATA[This study investigated predictors of quality of work life among nurses in Ipokia Local Government Area in Ogun State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to collect data using the Quality of Life Scale, Work-Family Conflict Scale, and Job Stress Scale. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 182 nurses (Females: 123; Males: 59). Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, t-test of independent mean, and one-way analysis of variance. Three hypotheses were generated and tested at a 0.001 level of significance. The result revealed that work-family conflict and job stress jointly predicted the quality of work-life among nurses [R2 = 286, F (2,181) = 37.648, p = .002). Also, job stress independently predicted the quality of work-life among nurses (β = .543, p = .001). However, work-family conflict did not independently predict the quality of work-life among nurses (β =-.001, p >.05). It was concluded that work-family conflict was a significant factor when combined with job stress but not an independent predictor of quality of work-life among nurses. Therefore, the Chief Medical Director and Human Resource Department of hospitals should monitor the stress levels of their nurses to ensure continuous productivity and avoid unnecessary breakdown of nurses at Work and home.]]>

<![CDATA[The token economy is a behavior modification technique that can be used to increase desired behavior or reduce undesirable behavior in individuals, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This research aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing a token economy to increase learning concentration in children with ASD. The method used in this research is quasi-experimental with a single-case experimental design described in the ABAB model. The subject in this study was a child with ASD who had problems with the ability to concentrate during learning. The instrument used in this research is a behavior checklist sheet for aspects of learning concentration adapted to the characteristics of children with ASD subjects. This research uses data presentation and data analysis techniques in the form of descriptive graphs, which show that applying the token economy is practical in increasing the learning concentration of children with ASD. The token economy is proven by increased learning concentration scores during the research phase, which consists of four measurement aspects: the focus defense aspect, the task completion aspect, the perseverance aspect, and the regularity aspect.]]>

<![CDATA[The most crucial relationships for students' social and emotional development and wellbeing are those between parents and pupils. While there is a wealth of research on programs to enhance parent-child connections, few are designed for use by educators in early education and care settings. This study aims to describe teachers' comprehension of the parent-child relationship concerning social and emotional development, the teacher's role in fostering the parent-child relationship, and the forms of teacher support in the parent-child relationship. This research method is a qualitative descriptive study with a phenomenological design involving six school principals and twenty teachers at the elementary education level as research subjects. The results showed that early education teachers were reluctant to contact parents, although acknowledging the importance of parent-child interactions. Teachers tended to be unwilling to impart their knowledge to parents since it was primarily implicit and derived from observations and real-world experiences. Teachers want theoretical, supported evidence methods to deepen their understanding and enhance everyday activities that strengthen parent-child interactions. The results are crucial for creating a parent-child connection program led by educators for implementation in educational and childcare facilities. A comprehension of educators' regular practices, their function in promoting parent-child connections, and children's social and emotional development should be explored to guide the creation of an educator program. These results are crucial for creating a parent-child connection program developed by educators for use in educational and childcare settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Psychological distress in breast cancer survivors is related to the sequelae of the treatment and care process. Distress experienced includes emotional experiences related to multifactor and causes interference in overcoming the challenges of cancer, including physical symptoms and treatment. This study aims to determine the effect of providing gratitude intervention in the form of a gratitude diary/writing on psychological distress in breast cancer survivors. Twenty-two respondents were involved in this study, divided into a control group (n=11) and an experimental group (n=11). The method used in this study was a quantitative experimental one-group pre-post-test design. The results showed that gratitude diary/writing was significant in reducing psychological distress in breast cancer survivors (anxiety p=0.003; stress p=0.003; depression p=0.003). Gratitude diary conditions breast cancer survivors to actively remember the positive side and then reinterpret the life experiences experienced by increasing appreciation for the positive things that have happened.

<![CDATA[Students have many tasks that indirectly require support from their surroundings to survive and have good psychological well-being. Students with good psychological conditions can learn how to adapt and fully carry out lectures. Often, students have problems such as stress, depression, and anxiety disorders that affect their psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the relationship between helicopter parenting and fear of negative evaluation on students' psychological well-being. This study used a quantitative correlational method with 366 students in Solo Raya. This study used the Helicopter Parenting scale, the Fear of Negative Evaluation scale, and the psychological well-being scale. The data analysis used is multiple regression analysis, showing a significant relationship between Helicopter Parenting and Fear of Negative Evaluation with the Psychological Well-Being of Greater Solo students (F = 201.490, p <0.01). It was also found that there is a negative relationship between Helicopter Parenting and Psychological Well-Being of Greater Solo students (r = -.495; p < 0.01) and a negative relationship between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Psychological Well-Being of Greater Solo students. Students' level of psychological well-being in this study is classified as moderate, so it is necessary to reduce Helicopter Parenting and Fear of Negative Evaluation by improving communication patterns with parents and fostering self-confidence in individuals to manage negative criticism from the surrounding environment.]]>

<![CDATA[Organizational learning culture (OLC) refers to a set of norms that facilitate continuous learning across all levels of the organization. OLC is believed to enhance employee work engagement, but it remains an area that requires further investigation due to its complexity and the varying impacts it may have. The relationship mechanism can be explained by increasing employee competencies in organizations with a learning culture. As competencies improve, they expand individual resources, enabling employees to craft their jobs with personal needs. Adopting the Conservation of Resources theory, researchers propose a resource caravan principle where employees are more likely to engage in organizations with a learning culture. Using a sample of 206 Indonesian employees, the data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM). The results indicate a serial mediation effect, confirming the sequential influence of culture on work engagement. These findings offer insights for organizations to adopt a culture aligned with their goals and for researchers to understand the sequential mechanisms driven by a learning culture.]]>

<![CDATA[Sports competitions are one of the arenas in which a country can prove its capability to manage quality human resources. Good mental ability management is one factor that influences an athlete's success rate in winning a competition. Mental toughness positively influences an athlete, one of which is fostering motivation to achieve. This study aimed to determine the effect of CBM intervention on Paser club archery athletes in Sidoarjo in terms of increasing Mental toughness. This study uses a pretest-posttest design type with a single group and experimental research methodology. Because the sample is less than 30, the sampling technique used is non-probability sampling, namely saturation sampling. The mental toughness scale is used as a data collection tool and analyzed using a paired t-test. The statistical test results showed a significance value of .0001, which means that there is an effect of CBM intervention in increasing the mental toughness of Paser club archery athletes in Sidoarjo.]]>

<![CDATA[This research examines the role of affective and cognitive empathy as moderators in the relationship between peer attachment and cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression of emotion regulation in adolescents. The research used a quantitative survey design with 96 junior high school students as participants. Peer attachment was measured using the peer attachment subscale of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), affective and cognitive empathy were measured using the affective and cognitive empathy subscales of the Adolescent Measure of Empathy and Sympathy (AMES), and cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression of emotion regulation were measured using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA). The results showed a positive relationship between peer attachment and cognitive reappraisal, affective and cognitive empathy with cognitive appraisal. The study also found that affective empathy can mediate the relationship between peer attachment and cognitive reappraisal. This suggests that adolescents' stronger peer attachment and higher levels of affective empathy are associated with a better ability to use cognitive reappraisal to regulate their negative emotions. However, no significant relationships were found between peer attachment, affective empathy, and cognitive empathy with expressive suppression. This may be because other factors influence expressive suppression. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the role of empathy in helping adolescents manage negative emotions through cognitive reappraisal. The implications of this study can support the development of more effective interventions to help adolescents better manage their emotions.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the process of self-acceptance in families of children with special needs (CSN) as a complex and dynamic psychological phenomenon. The aim of this study is to understand how families interpret their emotional experiences, as well as the factors that influence the acceptance process in the context of everyday life. The participants consisted of three family members who are directly involved in the care of children with special needs and have been aware of the child’s condition for at least two years. This study employed a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation, and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the process of self-acceptance involves emotional stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, these stages do not occur in a linear or sequential manner; rather, they are fluctuating and recurring. The acceptance process is not only experienced at the individual level but also occurs collectively within the family system. Internal factors such as emotional regulation and religiosity, as well as external factors including social support, community, and environmental influences, play a significant role in shaping adaptive coping and family resilience. The findings further emphasize that self-acceptance is an ongoing process of meaning-making rather than merely the final outcome of emotional adaptation. The implication is that psychosocial interventions should be designed comprehensively by involving all family members and strengthening social support to enhance the psychological well-being of families in a sustainable manner.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the relationship between Parental Screen Guilt (PSG) and Subjective Well-Being (SWB) among mothers with children under 18 years old. PSG refers to the guilt parents feel when they perceive their children’s screen use as inconsistent with ideal parenting standards. SWB was assessed through two affective components: Positive Affect (PA) and Negative Affect (NA). This research employed a quantitative correlational design, involving 171 mothers recruited through purposive sampling. The instruments used were the 5-item PSG scale adapted from Wolfers et al. (2024) and the I-PANAS-SF to measure PA and NA. The findings show that PSG is positively associated with both PA and NA, indicating that higher levels of guilt are linked to a greater tendency to experience both positive and negative affect in daily life. These results highlight that guilt in digital parenting elicits multifaceted emotional responses, where PSG operates as a dual-function psychological mechanism that may generate emotional discomfort while simultaneously promoting awareness and self-correction. Furthermore, guilt is shaped not only by the child’s screen time duration but also by the discrepancy between ideal digital parenting standards and everyday screen-use practices. Thus, PSG can be understood as a form of dissonance between parental values and the realities of real-life parenting. Overall, this study enriches the theoretical understanding of moral emotions in digital parenting and offers practical implications for developing educational programs and interventions to help parents manage guilt in healthier, more constructive ways.]]>
