Abstract

The advent of social media has transformed the way adolescents communicate and interact with one another. While social media provides a platform for social connection, its influence on the quality of interpersonal relationships, particularly among adolescents, remains a critical area of study. In Indonesia, where social media usage among adolescents is high, understanding its impact on relationships is crucial for promoting healthy social interactions. This study investigates the influence of social media on the quality of interpersonal relationships in adolescents in Indonesia. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 300 adolescents aged 12-18 years. The survey measured the frequency of social media use and the perceived quality of relationships with family, friends, and peers. The qualitative interviews provided deeper insights into adolescents’ experiences with social media and its role in shaping their social interactions. The results indicate that excessive social media use is associated with lower quality in face-to-face interactions, leading to weaker emotional bonds with family and friends. However, moderate use of social media was linked to enhanced peer connections and better communication skills. The study concludes that social media can both positively and negatively affect interpersonal relationships, and suggests that balanced usage should be encouraged to foster healthier social dynamics.

Abstract

Effective communication skills are essential for fostering positive work relationships and enhancing collaboration in office environments. However, many employees struggle with communication barriers that hinder their ability to work effectively with colleagues, leading to misunderstandings and reduced productivity. Communication skills training programs have been proposed as a solution to improve interpersonal communication, but their impact on work relationships in the office environment remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of communication skills training programs in improving work relationships among employees in office settings. The research employed a pre- and post-intervention survey design, involving 150 employees from various departments in a corporate office. Participants completed assessments on their communication effectiveness and work relationship quality before and after undergoing a 6-week communication training program. The results demonstrated significant improvements in employees’ ability to express themselves clearly, listen actively, and resolve conflicts, which in turn enhanced the quality of their work relationships. Participants reported increased trust, cooperation, and mutual respect in their interactions with colleagues. The study concludes that communication skills training programs can effectively improve interpersonal relationships in the office, leading to a more harmonious and productive work environment.

Abstract

Organizational culture plays a pivotal role in shaping employee job satisfaction and performance, particularly in the public sector where the nature of work is often influenced by public service values and government policies. A positive organizational culture is associated with increased motivation, job satisfaction, and improved performance, whereas a negative culture can lead to disengagement and inefficiency. Despite its importance, there is limited research on how organizational culture specifically impacts employee job satisfaction and performance in the public sector, especially in non-Western contexts. This study aims to explore the relationship between organizational culture, job satisfaction, and employee performance in public sector organizations. A quantitative research design was employed, using surveys distributed to 300 employees from various public institutions. Data were analyzed using regression analysis to examine how dimensions of organizational culture, such as values, communication, and leadership styles, influence job satisfaction and performance. The results indicate that organizational culture has a significant positive impact on both job satisfaction and performance. Employees who perceived their work environment as supportive, inclusive, and aligned with organizational values reported higher levels of satisfaction and better performance. The study concludes that fostering a positive organizational culture is essential for enhancing employee outcomes in the public sector, and recommends targeted interventions to cultivate such a culture.

Abstract

Parenting patterns play a crucial role in shaping the social-emotional development of children, particularly during early childhood, a formative period for emotional and social skills. Among various parenting styles, authoritative parenting has been widely recognized for promoting positive child outcomes, including better social-emotional development. In Indonesia, cultural norms and family dynamics can influence how parenting styles are applied, making it important to explore how authoritative parenting specifically affects young children’s emotional regulation, empathy, and social interactions. This study aims to examine the impact of authoritative parenting on the social-emotional development of early childhood in Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The study involved 200 parents and their children aged 3-6 years, assessing parenting styles through the Parenting Style Inventory and evaluating children’s social-emotional development using established scales for emotional regulation, peer relationships, and social competence. The results indicate that children raised by authoritative parents displayed higher levels of emotional regulation, empathy, and peer acceptance compared to children raised by permissive or authoritarian parents. The study concludes that authoritative parenting is positively associated with enhanced social-emotional skills in early childhood and emphasizes the importance of promoting authoritative parenting practices in Indonesia to foster healthier developmental outcomes.

Abstract

Inclusive education has become a fundamental approach to ensuring that children with special needs are integrated into general education settings, promoting social interaction and development alongside their peers. However, there is a lack of sufficient empirical evidence regarding the specific impact of inclusive education programs on the social development of children with special needs. This study explores how inclusive education programs influence the social development of children with special needs, focusing on improvements in social skills, peer relationships, and social integration. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 150 students with special needs across five schools that implement inclusive education programs. Data were collected through standardized social skills assessments, teacher reports, and interviews with parents and students. The results indicated that students in inclusive settings demonstrated significant improvements in social skills, particularly in peer interactions and communication. Teachers reported enhanced social integration of these students in classroom activities, and parents noted a positive shift in their children’s ability to engage socially outside of school. The study concludes that inclusive education programs provide critical social development opportunities for children with special needs, fostering greater acceptance and interaction with their peers. These findings suggest that inclusive education should be further promoted as a vital approach for enhancing social

Abstract

Meditation has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance cognitive function and promote mental well-being. Previous studies have suggested that meditation can lead to structural changes in the brain, particularly in regions associated with attention, memory, and emotional regulation. However, the precise impact of meditation on brain structure and cognitive function in young adults remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effect of regular meditation practice on brain structure changes and cognitive function in young adults. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess brain changes and cognitive function assessments, such as attention, memory, and executive function tests, conducted before and after a 12-week meditation intervention. The results showed significant increases in gray matter density in areas related to attention and emotional regulation, including the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Cognitive testing revealed improvements in attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. These findings suggest that meditation can induce structural changes in the brain that enhance cognitive function, particularly in domains critical for academic and personal development. The study concludes that meditation can be an effective practice for promoting cognitive health and supporting brain development in young adults, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive intervention for cognitive enhancement.

Abstract

The use of digital learning applications has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, offering a range of interactive tools designed to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. As technology continues to influence education, it is essential to explore its impact on children’s cognitive abilities, particularly in school-age children. Learning applications are believed to improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and critical thinking. However, empirical evidence regarding the effects of these applications on children’s cognitive development remains limited. This study aims to investigate the impact of using learning applications on the cognitive abilities of school-age children. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 200 school-age children aged 6-12 years. The children were divided into an experimental group, using learning applications for 12 weeks, and a control group, which continued with traditional learning methods. Cognitive abilities were assessed before and after the intervention using standardized tests measuring attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. The results indicated that children in the experimental group showed significant improvements in cognitive abilities compared to the control group, particularly in memory and problem-solving skills. The study concludes that the use of learning applications positively influences cognitive development in school-age children, providing evidence for the integration of digital tools in educational practices to support cognitive growth.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the level of emotional demands experienced by employees working in an inclusive educational setting for adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as to explore the organizational strategies implemented to support their emotional well-being. The research was conducted at London School Beyond Academy (LSBA), a vocational institution in Indonesia that focuses on the development of neurodivergent adolescents. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed method design, the study began with a quantitative survey using the Emotional Demands subscale from the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ II), followed by semi-structured interviews with key personnel to explore their lived experiences and perceptions of institutional support. The quantitative results (N=40) revealed a moderate level of emotional demands (M = 14.42/20), indicating that emotional challenges were perceived as meaningful rather than overwhelming. Qualitative findings from thematic analysis further underscored this by revealing that emotional demands were often framed as professional calling and relational depth, although formal support systems remained underdeveloped. This study contributes to the literature on emotional labor in inclusive education by focusing specifically on neurodiverse vocational contexts, an area that remains underexplored in Indonesian educational research. The findings suggest that institutional strategies for psychological sustainability are essential not only for employee well-being but also for ensuring the long-term effectiveness of inclusive education models.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of information services in improving the understanding of reproductive health of grade IX students at SMP Negeri 6 Klaten. The background of this study is based on the low understanding of adolescents on reproductive issues, which can have an impact on increasing the risk of risky sexual behavior, unwanted pregnancy, and drug abuse. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of four information service meetings. The subjects of the study were 31 grade IX students. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The results showed that the average score of student understanding increased from 66, 60% (moderate category) in the pretest to 78.25 % (high category) in the posttest. The increase occurred in all indicators, with the highest increase in the indicator of understanding sexually transmitted diseases. These findings indicate that information services are effective as an educational strategy in equipping adolescents with healthy knowledge and attitudes towards reproductive issues. Therefore, information services can be used as a preventive approach in reproductive health education in schools.
