Abstract

The rapid proliferation of digital technologies has profoundly impacted adolescents, presenting both opportunities and challenges to their well-being. This study explores the concept of digital well-being among adolescents, focusing on the multidimensional nature of digital satisfaction, safe and responsible behavior, and overall digital health. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this research identifies key factors influencing digital well-being, such as gender differences, socioeconomic status (SES), and cultural background. The findings suggest that effective interventions must be tailored to account for these contextual factors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and family-based interventions are highlighted as promising strategies, though their success may vary depending on cultural perceptions of digital technology and mental health. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of digital literacy as a protective factor, particularly for girls and low-SES adolescents who are more vulnerable to negative digital experiences. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital well-being by integrating these diverse factors into a cohesive framework. The practical implications for psychologists, educators, and policymakers are significant, offering actionable insights for developing targeted interventions to support adolescents in navigating the digital age. Further research is recommended to explore the nuanced effects of active versus passive technology use and to assess the effectiveness of various interventions across different cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the role of cognitive flexibility in enhancing resilience among Indonesian adolescents, using a cross-sectional research design. A total of 152 high school students from grades 10 and 11 participated, with data collected through the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience, indicating that cognitive flexibility is a crucial predictor of resilience. The study also identified significant gender differences in resilience, with male adolescents exhibiting higher resilience levels than females. These results align with existing research, emphasizing the importance of cognitive flexibility in psychological well-being and stress management. Furthermore, the study contributes to the broader literature by demonstrating that the relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience is robust across different cultural contexts, including Indonesia. The practical implications of these findings are substantial, suggesting that educational programs should integrate cognitive flexibility into school curricula through targeted teacher training and specialized learning modules. Additionally, the development of gender-specific interventions is recommended to address the distinct needs of male and female adolescents. Future research should further investigate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience, particularly considering potential moderating factors such as family environment and school context. Longitudinal studies would be beneficial to track the development of these traits over time, providing deeper insights into their dynamic interaction. Understanding cultural influences on these constructs is also crucial for designing culturally appropriate and effective interventions.

Abstract

Phubbing, the act of ignoring others in social settings by focusing on one’s smartphone, has become a prevalent issue among adolescent K-Pop fans. This behavior is closely linked to social media addiction and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), as these fans often seek constant updates about their idols and social networks. The excessive use of social media to satisfy their curiosity and avoid missing out on information can lead to a significant increase in phubbing behavior. This study aims to investigate the effect of FoMO and social media addiction on phubbing behavior among adolescent K-Pop fans. Using a quantitative correlational approach, 193 adolescents aged 10-21 years were surveyed. The study employed the Generic Scale of Phubbing (GSP), Online Fear of Missing Out Scale (ON-FoMO), and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) to assess phubbing behavior, FoMO, and social media addiction, respectively. The results indicate that the majority of participants have low levels of FoMO (48.7%) but high levels of social media addiction (46.1%), with 53.4% exhibiting low phubbing behavior. Multiple linear regression analysis shows a significant positive effect of both FoMO and social media addiction on phubbing behavior, with FoMO contributing 36% and social media addiction contributing 22.9% to the variance in phubbing behavior. Together, these variables explain 58.9% of phubbing behavior among the participants. The study supports the Usability and Satisfaction Theory, emphasizing the role of FoMO and social media addiction in promoting excessive smartphone use during social interactions. Practical implications include the need for interventions to manage adolescents' social media usage and mitigate the psychological effects of FoMO to enhance healthy social engagement. Future research should explore longitudinal relationships and consider socio-environmental factors to better understand the causes of phubbing behavior in adolescents.

Abstract

This study examines workplace violence from the perspective of occupational health psychology, focusing on its psychological impact and the development of intervention strategies. Using a historical approach, the research reconstructs the organizational discourse of violence by analyzing how subjectivity is controlled within workplace contexts through language, actions, and power dynamics. Workplace violence, including mobbing and psychological harassment, emerges as a systemic issue driven by structural and symbolic violence, deeply ingrained in organizational frameworks and supported by scientific narratives and self-regulation mechanisms. The findings indicate that such violence not only perpetuates but also institutionalizes docile work subjectivities, viewed as desirable in many organizational settings. The study provides a novel contribution by emphasizing the interplay between occupational health psychology and the broader sociocultural contexts that shape workplace interactions. It underscores the psychosocial risks posed by workplace violence to employees' mental health, organizational cohesion, and overall productivity. The conclusions advocate for comprehensive intervention strategies that address the root causes of workplace violence, promote healthier organizational environments, and reduce psychosocial risks. By integrating empirical insights and theoretical perspectives, this study offers valuable implications for policymakers, organizational leaders, and researchers seeking to mitigate the negative impacts of workplace violence.

Abstract

Open defecation (OD) remains a significant public health and environmental challenge, particularly in rural India, where socio-economic and cultural barriers hinder the adoption of sanitation facilities. Despite over two decades of government initiatives, including the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), and Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), achieving an Open Defecation Free (ODF) status has proven elusive. This paper examines the systemic limitations of these programs, focusing on the disconnect between policy objectives and community realities. Drawing from the author’s field experience in Haryana, the study highlights critical barriers, including inadequate water supply, economic constraints, and insufficient integration of social learning strategies. The analysis underscores the failure of top-down approaches that emphasize latrine construction while neglecting socio-cultural dynamics and local engagement. The lack of trained personnel, culturally relevant messaging, and participatory planning has resulted in low adoption rates and widespread skepticism about sanitation programs. Using Bandura’s social learning theory, the paper advocates for community-led approaches that leverage social networks and behavioral modeling to foster sustainable change. By comparing India's experiences with successful sanitation strategies in countries like Bangladesh, this study emphasizes the need for context-specific, inclusive, and adaptive solutions. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on public health, demonstrating that sustainable sanitation requires a holistic approach integrating technology, behavior change, and community ownership. Policymakers must prioritize cultural sensitivity and social learning to bridge the gap between infrastructure provision and behavioral adoption, ensuring long-term public health benefits.

Abstract

During the pandemic, many mothers of children with special needs have faced heightened emotional challenges, leading to increased emotional exhaustion. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional exhaustion and coping strategies in these mothers, highlighting the importance of effective support mechanisms during this period. This quantitative research used non-probability sampling and included 80 mothers in Tulungagung. Data collection utilized two scales: one for emotional exhaustion and another for coping strategies, administered via questionnaires. Hypothesis testing indicated a significant relationship between emotional exhaustion and coping strategies, with F = 18.606 at p < 0.05. Emotional exhaustion accounted for 19% of the variance in coping strategies (R2=0.193), underscoring its impact. These findings suggest that addressing emotional exhaustion could improve coping strategies in mothers of children with special needs, potentially guiding more tailored support and interventions to alleviate stress and improve well-being.

Abstract

Children are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence because they are considered weak or powerless. Research data has found that 20% to 33% of girls and 10% to 16% of boys will become victims of sexual abuse before the age of 18. Kubu Raya Regency recorded that in 2021, there were 74 cases of violence against children and adolescents, which is quite high, with the majority of cases being sexual violence experienced by children aged 6-12 years. This indicates that children need to learn self-protection efforts through the Self-Protection Model. The Self-Protection Model is an intervention model provided as an effort to address the issue of sexual violence against children. This study employs a quantitative experimental design. The study uses purposive sampling, targeting children aged 9-12 years; attending elementary school; and willing and permitted by the school to participate until the intervention sessions are completed, with a total of 10 boys and 10 girls. Data analysis shows a difference in the application of the Self-Protection Model. The results of the Wilcoxon test output "Test Statistics" indicate that the Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) value is 0.000. Since the value of 0.000 less than 0.05, it can be concluded that Ha is accepted. This means there is a significant difference in assertive behavior between the pretest and posttest results, suggesting that the Self-Protection Model has an influence on children as a method of self-protection against sexual abuse. Abstrak: Anak-anak rentan terhadap kekerasan seksual karena dianggap lemah atau tidak berdaya. Data penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 20% hingga 33% anak perempuan dan 10% hingga 16% anak laki-laki akan menjadi korban kekerasan seksual sebelum usia 18 tahun. Di Kabupaten Kubu Raya tercatat pada tahun 2021 terdapat 74 kasus kekerasan terhadap anak dan remaja, dengan mayoritas kasus berupa kekerasan seksual yang dialami oleh anak-anak usia 6-12 tahun. Ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak perlu mempelajari upaya perlindungan diri melalui Self-Protection Model. Model ini adalah model intervensi yang diberikan sebagai upaya untuk mengatasi masalah kekerasan seksual terhadap anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimen kuantitatif dengan sampel purposif, menargetkan anak-anak berusia 9-12 tahun, bersekolah di SD, dan bersedia serta diizinkan oleh pihak sekolah untuk berpartisipasi hingga sesi intervensi selesai. Sebanyak 10 anak laki-laki dan 10 anak perempuan berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Analisis data menunjukkan perbedaan dalam penerapan Self-Protection Model. Hasil dari uji Wilcoxon output “Test Statistcs”, diketahui Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) bernilai 0,000. Karena nilai 0,000 kurang dari 0,05 maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Ha diterima. Artinya ada perbedaan antara hasil perilaku asertif untuk pretest dan posttest, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh dari Self-Protection Model terhadap anak sebagai upaya perlindungan diri dari kekerasan seksual.

Abstract

Assistive technology (AT) plays a crucial role in inclusive education by enhancing learning opportunities for pupils with learning disabilities and promoting their full participation in academic activities. This study investigated teachers’ perceptions of the availability and utilization of assistive technology in primary schools in Eti-Osa Local Government Area, Lagos State, Nigeria. Using an ex post facto descriptive research design, 191 teachers from public and private schools were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire, the Assistive Technology in the Classroom (ATC), with a reliability coefficient of 0.87. The findings revealed that although several types of assistive technologies were available, they were insufficient to meet the learning needs of pupils with disabilities. Computers and iPads were the most commonly available and utilized tools, while specialized devices such as speech synthesizers, graphic organizers, and speech-to-text converters were notably absent. More than half of the teachers agreed that assistive technology enhances pupils' learning outcomes by compensating for cognitive deficits, thereby fostering classroom independence and task completion. However, barriers such as inadequate funding, lack of teacher training, and limited stakeholder commitment hinder the optimal use of these technologies. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts from government bodies, non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on assistive technology in inclusive education and emphasizes the need for improved resource allocation and teacher training to bridge the educational gap for pupils with learning disabilities.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of private higher education in China has highlighted the need to understand students' learning behaviors and develop effective guidance strategies to enhance academic outcomes. This study examines the learning patterns, motivations, and challenges faced by Chinese private college students using a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, case studies, and in-depth interviews across multiple institutions. Findings reveal that students’ learning behaviors are influenced by personal goals, institutional support, and family background. While some students demonstrate strong self-regulation and engagement, others struggle with time management, motivation, and active participation. Experiential and project-based learning, academic counseling, and peer mentoring emerge as effective strategies for improving student engagement and academic performance. Institutions that implement blended learning models and real-world applications through industry collaborations show higher levels of student motivation and success. Additionally, fostering a supportive campus culture through extracurricular activities and mentorship programs enhances students' overall learning experience. The study provides practical recommendations for educators and policymakers to optimize instructional methods and institutional resources, ensuring a more effective and inclusive learning environment. By addressing key learning challenges and implementing targeted interventions, private colleges in China can better support students in achieving their academic and career goals.

Abstract

This article examines the intersection of power relations and human management practices in modern organizations, utilizing a Foucauldian and psychopolitical framework. The objective is to explore how contemporary organizations employ psychological mechanisms, disciplinary techniques, and self-regulation strategies to influence employee behavior and professional identity. Unlike traditional hierarchical models of power, this study presents power as a relational and diffuse force embedded in organizational discourse, digital surveillance, and emotional governance. The research methodology involves documentary analysis of a range of materials, including academic literature, corporate policies, and case studies. This enables an exploration of how psychological discourse, performance evaluations, and corporate ideologies function as tools of control, shaping employee actions and identities. Findings suggest that modern organizations use subtle power mechanisms, such as emotional intelligence training and algorithmic management, to promote self-regulation and voluntary compliance with corporate expectations, rather than relying solely on coercion or direct authority. The study contributes to organizational studies, critical management theory, and industrial psychology by offering a comprehensive analysis of power in contemporary labor settings. It highlights how managerial control is internalized by employees, shaping their perceptions of autonomy and productivity. This research emphasizes the need for organizations to reconsider the ethical implications of surveillance, performance monitoring, and emotional labor management. Future research should explore alternative govern
