Abstract

Single mother teachers face great challenges in carrying out dual roles as educators and caregivers, while also handling household chores. This pressure often affects their emotional stability, so that single mother teachers often vent their anger on those around them. The purpose of this research was to determine the description and factors causing single-mother teachers' emotional regulation. Used a qualitative research method with a phenomenological study approach. Used semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation as a data collection method. The subjects in the research were taken using purposive sampling techniques and snowball sampling techniques. The subjects of the research were five single mother teachers aged 30-45 years, working as elementary school teachers (SD) and having children aged 2-13 years. Analysis of the research used content analysis data. The results showed that single mother teacher's emotional regulation involved the process of monitoring, then evaluating, modifying, and re-evaluating emotions because the subjects still had difficulty finding the right regulation strategy, so other factors were needed such as social support, professionalism, religiosity, reducing multitasking, and social comparison. Further research is recommended to conduct longer observations of subject interactions both at school and at home, more in-depth interviews, increase the number of subjects, expand the location and criteria of the subjects, such as single mother teachers at the junior high or high school level who teach at junior high or high school.

Abstract

This study explored the role of third-party interference in achieving marital stability among married adults, examining both its positive and negative impacts. The study identified key sources of third-party involvement, including family members, friends, and professional counsellors, and evaluated how these parties influence marital relationships resulting to stability in marriages. The findings suggested that while third-party interference may provide essential support during crises periods, such as financial difficulties or health challenges, it could also create significant challenges. These include the erosion of the couple's autonomy, increased conflict, and dependence on external sources for advice. Moreover, biased interference from family members or friends could lead to division within the marriage, causing either or both partners to feel unsupported. The research further explored the strategies for managing third-party interference, highlighting the importance of open communication between spouses, setting boundaries, and seeking professional counselling when necessary. A united front and a clear understanding of the couple’s priorities are also crucial in preventing external involvement from destabilizing the marital relationship. The study concluded that while third-party interference is often inevitable especially in a marital bliss, the way and manner in which it is managed greatly determines its impact on the stability of such homes. By employing effective strategies, couples could navigate external pressures and maintain a strong, stable relationship. The implication of this study is that it would most likely provide valuable insights for married adults, relationship/marriage counsellors, and family therapists who work to promote marital stability in the face of external interferences or aggression.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of guidance and counselling programs in reducing ethical decline among secondary school students during periods of socio-economic and political challenges in Kwara State. Four research questions guided the study, along with one hypothesis. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected from a population of 3,780 Senior Secondary Three (SS3) students in Kwara State. A sample of 300 students, selected through stratified random sampling from six secondary schools, participated in the study. A self-developed structured questionnaire titled "Effectiveness of Guidance and Counselling Programs in Reducing Ethical Decline Questionnaire (EGCREDQ)" was utilized for data collection, with a reliability coefficient of 0.75 determined by Cronbach’s Alpha. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and percentages) analyzed the research questions, while Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation tested the hypothesis. The findings revealed a significant prevalence of ethical decline, including behaviors such as dishonesty and violence. The guidance and counselling programs in place were found to be insufficient, hindered by inadequate resources, unqualified counsellors, and poor implementation structures. Furthermore, key challenges identified included stigma associated with seeking counselling, limited parental involvement, and counsellors being overburdened with other responsibilities. These barriers have limited the effectiveness of the programs in addressing the socio-economic and political challenges faced by students. It was recommended that functional guidance and counselling centers be established in all schools, equipped with trained counsellors and adequate resources, to address these issues effectively.

Abstract

As a new student, it is a big challenge for everyone. As an individual, it is very important to have high academic self-efficacy, to optimize the educational process being undertaken. Academic self-efficacy is an individual's belief in tasks and achieving academic achievement. 'Rapid counseling' is the provision of assistance with rapid counseling, and can be combined well with art. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 'rapid counseling' with single-session music therapy (RC-SSMT) to increase academic self-efficacy in three students. This study is a quantitative experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of this study were three students of the Department of Guidance and Counseling, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia (class of 2021), who experienced low academic self-efficacy based on questionnaires that had been filled out by the subjects. The data collection technique in this study was using interviews and questionnaires. This study used the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (TASES) instrument which consisted of 28 items and had a validity of 0.893 and a reliability of 0.700. In the implementation of RC-SSMT, it can be effective in increasing academic self-efficacy with just one meeting session and can make the client independent with the "soundtrack of my life" that has been created together with the counselor during the counseling service so that when the client's academic is low again, the client only needs to listen to the song that has been created together with the counselor.

Abstract

This study examines psychosocial challenges and communication styles as predictors of domestic violence among married adults in Osun State, Nigeria. Utilizing a descriptive survey research design, the study aimed to explore the influence of psychosocial issues such as interference from in-laws, financial instability, and lack of emotional support on instances of intimate partner violence. It also investigated the role of communication styles, including assertiveness, conflict management, and relational dynamics, in mitigating or exacerbating domestic violence. A total of 400 married adults were selected using stratified random sampling from diverse demographic backgrounds. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire titled "Psychosocial and Relational Determinants of Domestic Violence (PRDDV)," which achieved a reliability coefficient of 0.78. Findings revealed a significant positive correlation between psychosocial challenges and the prevalence of domestic violence (r = 0.164, p < 0.05), while communication styles showed a moderating effect on the relationship. The study concluded that addressing psychosocial issues and promoting healthy communication styles could reduce domestic violence. Recommendations include targeted counseling programs, public awareness campaigns, and policy interventions aimed at fostering harmonious relationships among married adults. These findings are essential for counselors, social workers, and policymakers in developing evidence-based strategies to curb domestic violence.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to find out the level of self-esteem of students and how effective rational emotive behavioral counselling is to increase self-esteem. Quantitative research using pre-experiment, one group pretest posttest design. The study involved 32 students as a population, with 5 students who had low self-esteem as a sample. Purposive sampling method is used to obtain samples. The results show the self-esteem level of State Middle School 1 students Sumbergempol is in the lowest category of 10 (31%), medium 16 (50%), and high 6 (19%). There was a significant difference between the results before and after treatment with rational emotive behavioral counselling, according to the t-test double sample test, with a 2-tailed Sig significance value of 0.001 <0.05, which means there were significant differences between the outcomes prior and following treatment, so that rational emotive behavior counseling effectively increased the student's self-esteem. Rational Emotive Behavior Counseling (REBC) is effective in improving self-esteem because this approach focuses on cognitive restructuring, which involves changing irrational beliefs that contribute to low self-esteem into more rational and adaptive thought patterns. Additionally, REBC teaches emotional regulation and behavior management skills, helping individuals develop a more positive self-perception, increase self-confidence, and build resilience against social and emotional pressures.

Abstract

Self-awareness is an individual's ability to recognize their emotions, values, and thought patterns, as well as to understand factors that influence their actions and social interactions. Generation Z, growing up in the digital and information era, faces unique challenges due to their low awareness of mental health, leading to increased cases of anxiety, depression, and burnout resulting from social and academic pressures. Consequently, they are often trapped in self-unawareness and identity crises caused by contradictions between personal values and social expectations. This article aims to determine the extent of the use of problem-solving techniques in group guidance services over the past two years, evaluating their efficiency or inefficiency to assess whether deconstruction is needed. The method used in this article is qualitative research through a literature review. The literature review process involves: (1) gathering data from various sources, (2) processing relevant references, (3) presenting research findings, (4) abstraction, (5) interpreting results, and (6) drawing conclusions. The data sources are derived from reputable books and journals relevant to the study's topic. The findings indicate that using problem-solving techniques in group guidance services has been relatively effective and efficient in improving Generation Z's self-awareness. In conclusion, deconstructing self-awareness through problem-solving techniques in group guidance facilitates better self-awareness and unlocks the optimal potential for Generation Z's personal and social lives.

Abstract

Social skills are an important aspect of the development of junior high school students, which are often hampered by low self-efficacy, affecting communication skills, social interaction, and conflict resolution. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of self-efficacy-based interventions in improving the social skills of junior high school students over the past decade (2013–2023). This study used a systematic review method with PRISMA guidance, including 28 studies that met the inclusion criteria, such as quasi-experimental research designs, valid and reliable instruments, and the population of junior high school students. Data were analyzed using narrative synthesis and meta-analysis to calculate the combined effects of self-efficacy interventions on social skills. The results showed that the self-efficacy intervention significantly improved students' self-efficacy, which had a positive impact on improving communication (+18%), social interaction (+15%), and conflict resolution ability (+20%). This intervention has also been shown to be effective in reducing social anxiety and bullying behavior by up to 25%. A holistic approach involving small group training programs and the integration of experiential learning showed superior results over other methods. The unique contribution of this study is its comprehensive scope, including the evaluation of moderation factors such as the duration of the intervention, participant characteristics, and the sustainability of the results. The study also highlighted the success of the intervention in specific subgroups, such as students with autism spectrum, which was previously underdiscussed. These findings offer new insights to develop more effective, directed, and inclusive self-efficacy-based intervention programs in supporting the social and emotional development of junior high school students.
