Abstract

Amid concerns over declining academic performance, as indicated by metrics like PISA scores, student academic engagement has become a critical issue. The proliferation of digital technology has introduced new challenges, with social media addiction emerging as a significant potential detriment to students’ focus and motivation. Concurrently, psychological factors such as self-esteem are crucial in shaping students’ academic attitudes and behaviors. This study aims to determine the influence of social media addiction on the academic engagement of high school students, and to examine the mediating role of self-esteem in this relationship. A quantitative research design using a survey method was employed. The sample consisted of 146 high school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using three validated instruments: the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student Survey (UWES-SS) for academic engagement, a scale adapted from the Young Internet Addiction Test for social media addiction, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed a significant negative influence of social media addiction on academic engagement (p < 0.05). Conversely, self-esteem was found to have a significant positive influence on academic engagement (p < 0.05). The simultaneous analysis confirmed that social media addiction and self-esteem together have a significant effect on students’ academic engagement.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia provide a unique, collective living environment that shapes student character. For orphaned students, such as those at Pondok Mahadul Yatama, this setting presents compounded challenges, requiring them to navigate the loss of parental support while adapting to a highly structured and disciplined lifestyle. This context creates significant emotional, social, and psychological pressures that necessitate a high degree of resilience. This study aims to provide an in-depth description and understanding of the lived experiences of resilience among orphaned male santri as they adapt to life at the Mahadul Yatama Pesantren. A qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach was employed. The subjects were male santri aged 12-18 who had resided at the pesantren for 2-6 months. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation. The collected data were then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to identify recurring patterns and themes. The findings indicate that resilience among the santri is a dynamic process. Key themes emerged, including the development of personal competence through overcoming initial adaptation difficulties, a positive acceptance of change driven by peer support, and the crucial role of spiritual influences. Prayer and faith were consistently identified as primary coping mechanisms for managing feelings of homesickness and stress, serving as a significant source of inner strength.

Abstract

Background: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment using neuropsychology has come a long way. Neurofeedback, also called EEG biofeedback, is a technique that teaches the brain to regulate its own electrical activity. Using an EEG, or electroencephalogram, device, one can see brain activity in real-time and be trained to change unbalanced or abnormal brain wave patterns. Research Purposes: This study was conducted to determine the purpose of neurofeedback, which serves to control this brain activity in a way that is comfortable and suited to the individual. During a neurofeedback session, people usually sit in front of a computer screen and see how their brain activity is depicted. Repetitive training can teach the brain to keep doing healthier activities, even after the therapy session. Method: The method used by researchers in examining the Role of Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Neuro Psychological Perspective is to use quantitative methods. The data obtained by researchers were obtained from the results of distributing questionnaires. The questionnaire distribution carried out by researchers was carried out online by utilizing Google From software. The results of the data acquisition will also be tested again using the SPSS application. Results: From the results of the study, it can be seen that from a neuropsychological perspective, neurofeedback aids the restoration of healthy brain function through repeated and consistent learning. This process is known as neuroplasticity, where the brain reshapes and strengthens neural connections made by new experiences and practice. Therefore, neurofeedback not only reduces PTSD symptoms, but also aids in long-term recovery and improves one's quality of life. Conclusion: Researchers can conclude that from a neuropsychological point of view, neurofeedback is not only considered as a therapeutic tool, but also as an entry point to understanding and modulating human brain function during recovery from trauma. Neurofeedback also offers an innovative and science-based approach in the treatment of PTSD, potentially expanding the therapeutic options available to individuals experiencing this disorder.

Abstract

Social media has become an important part of everyday life, especially for teenagers. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok are not only communication platforms but also places where social identities are built and maintained. Previous studies have shown that social media can impact in various ways, both positive and negative, on teens' social relationships. This research was conducted with the aim of measuring how social media has changed the number and types of social interactions compared to conventional face-to-face interactions. Apart from that, it is also to see how personality, level of social media use, and family social support can influence teenagers' social media. The method used by researchers in researching the Influence of Social Media on Adolescent Social Relationships: A Longitudinal Study is to use a quantitative method. The data obtained by researchers was obtained from the results of distributing questionnaires. The distribution of questionnaires carried out by researchers was carried out online using Google From software. The results of data acquisition will also be tested again using the SPSS application. From the research results, it can be seen that this research is expected to be a basis for further research on the relationship between technology and social development in the digital era. Additionally, the results can help parents, educators, and policymakers make better plans to help teens use social media in healthier and more beneficial ways. From this research, researchers can conclude that longitudinal studies show that the impact of social media on teenagers' social relationships is very diverse and complex, so it requires a more considered approach, both the benefits and risks of the influence of social media on teenagers' social relationships.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common mental health issue among adolescents, particularly in Indonesia, where socio-cultural factors contribute to the challenges they face. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been shown to alleviate symptoms of anxiety across various populations. This study investigates the effectiveness of MBIs in reducing anxiety symptoms among adolescents in Indonesia. The primary aim is to assess how these programs can help adolescents manage anxiety and improve their overall well-being. A mixed-methods approach was used, involving both qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with 150 adolescents who participated in a 6-week MBI program. Pre- and post-program anxiety levels were measured using standardized tools such as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The results revealed a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms among participants, indicating the potential of MBIs in promoting mental health in adolescents. The findings suggest that incorporating mindfulness practices in educational settings could be an effective approach to addressing adolescent anxiety in Indonesia. The study concludes that MBIs are a viable and beneficial intervention for reducing anxiety symptoms in adolescents, with broader implications for school-based mental health programs.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in daily life, leading to various mental health challenges, particularly among students. Sleep quality and depression are closely related, with poor sleep often contributing to higher levels of depression. During the pandemic, changes in daily routines, increased stress, and social isolation have likely affected both sleep patterns and mental health. This study aims to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and depression levels in students during the Covid-19 pandemic period. A cross-sectional design was employed, with 300 university students completing an online survey. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and depression levels were measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The results indicated that students reporting poor sleep quality had significantly higher depression scores compared to those with better sleep quality. A negative correlation was found between sleep quality and depression levels, with poorer sleep associated with higher depression severity. The study concludes that poor sleep quality is a significant predictor of increased depression in students during the pandemic. These findings emphasize the need for interventions targeting sleep improvement as part of mental health support for students during and beyond the Covid-19 crisis.

Abstract

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant mental health issue faced by individuals who have experienced natural disasters. Survivors of such events often endure long-lasting psychological effects, including flashbacks, hyperarousal, and emotional numbness, which hinder their ability to reintegrate into normal life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has emerged as an effective intervention for PTSD, offering tools for individuals to reframe distressing thoughts and regulate emotional responses. This study investigates the impact of CBT on the symptoms of PTSD in victims of natural disasters. The primary aim is to evaluate whether CBT can reduce the severity of PTSD symptoms in affected individuals. A quasi-experimental design was used, with 100 participants who were victims of a recent natural disaster. Participants underwent 8 weeks of CBT sessions, with pre- and post-assessment using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). The results indicated a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms, with a marked decrease in both intrusive thoughts and hyperarousal behaviors. The findings suggest that CBT is an effective therapeutic approach for alleviating PTSD symptoms in disaster survivors. The study concludes that integrating CBT into post-disaster mental health care programs can significantly improve the well-being of disaster victims.

Abstract

This study focuses on the social development of children raised in single-parent families in Pasawahan District, Purwakarta, West Java. The background of this research is driven by the increasing number of single-parent families in Indonesia, raising concerns about the potential impact on the social development of the involved children. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of single-parent parenting on children's social development, evaluate the relationship between such parenting and children's social well-being, and develop intervention programs aimed at enhancing the social welfare of children from single-parent families. The research methodology employed includes a literature review, quantitative surveys, in-depth interviews, and observational monitoring. The study also draws on various concepts and theories, such as the Parental Involvement Theory, Social Support Theory, and Resilience Theory, to understand how these factors influence children's social development within the context of single-parenting. The findings indicate that while single-parenting presents unique challenges to children's social development, targeted intervention programs can significantly improve their social outcomes. Further analysis underscores the importance of a comprehensive support system to promote the social well-being of children in single-parent families and the implications for policy formulation and program development. This research also aims to support more effective policies and strategies in enhancing the welfare of children from single-parent families in Indonesia.

Abstract

Bullying in schools is a pervasive issue that negatively impacts students’ mental health, academic performance, and overall school climate. A positive school climate is essential for fostering an environment conducive to learning, where students feel safe, respected, and supported. Anti-bullying programs have been implemented to address this problem; however, their effectiveness in enhancing school climate, particularly in middle schools, remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an anti-bullying program in improving the school climate in middle schools. The research utilizes a quasi-experimental design, with 300 students from three middle schools participating in the study. Pre- and post-program surveys were administered to assess students’ perceptions of school climate, including safety, respect, and inclusiveness. The results indicate a significant improvement in the overall school climate, with increased perceptions of safety and respect, and a reduction in bullying behaviors. Students reported feeling more supported and engaged in the school community after the program. The study concludes that anti-bullying programs can be highly effective in fostering a positive school climate, providing a safer and more supportive environment for students. The findings suggest that implementing such programs in middle schools can significantly contribute to improving the educational experience and well-being of students.

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a critical role in early childhood development, influencing social and academic skills. As young children begin to navigate complex social interactions and engage in learning activities, the ability to recognize, understand, and regulate emotions becomes fundamental to their success in school and relationships. Despite its importance, the role of EI in shaping early childhood social and academic outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the impact of emotional intelligence on the development of social and academic skills in early childhood. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a sample of 150 preschool children and their teachers. The study utilized the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i) for children and teacher reports on social and academic skills. The results demonstrated that higher emotional intelligence scores were significantly associated with better social interactions, peer relationships, and academic performance, particularly in areas of problem-solving and self-regulation. The findings suggest that fostering emotional intelligence in early childhood education programs can enhance both social and academic competencies. The study concludes that EI is a key factor in supporting children’s overall development, providing a foundation for improved social interactions and academic achievement in later years.
