Abstract

The search for meaning in life is a fundamental aspect of an individual's psychological well-being. Adolescents, as individuals in the process of building their identities, often face challenges in discovering their lifes meaning. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a psychoeducation program based on logotherapy (meaning-centered therapy) in enhancing students' understanding of lifes meaning and its impact on happiness and self-confidence. This study employs a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design without a control group. The research sample consists of students from SMP Negeri 7 Sawang, selected using the purposive sampling technique. The psychoeducation program was conducted through lectures, discussions, and reflections on lifes meaning, with evaluations carried out using a meaning-in-life scale instrument. The results indicate a significant increase in students' understanding after participating in the psychoeducation program. Students who previously had a low understanding of lifes meaning showed improved scores after the intervention and demonstrated more positive and confident attitudes. The conclusion of this study is that the logotherapy-based psychoeducation program effectively enhances students' understanding of lifes meaning. The implications of this study suggest that similar interventions can be integrated into school curricula to support students' psychological well-being. Future research is recommended to use a larger sample and consider experimental methods with a control group.

Abstract

Subjective well-being is one of the essential indicators in assessing an individual's quality of life. The Chinese ethnic group, as a minority in Indonesia, faces various social and cultural challenges that may affect their subjective well-being. This study aims to examine differences in the subjective well-being of Chinese residents in Lhokseumawe based on gender and educational level. The research method used a quantitative approach with a comparative research design. The sample consisted of 96 respondents selected using the incidental sampling technique. The research instrument was the "Subjective Well-being" questionnaire developed by Diener and Tov, measuring life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect. Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U Test to compare groups based on gender and educational level. The results showed significant differences in subjective well-being based on these two variables. Women had higher subjective well-being than men, while individuals with higher education levels exhibited better subjective well-being than those with only a high school education. The findings confirm that demographic factors play a role in subjective well-being, highlighting the need for more targeted interventions to enhance minority well-being. The implications of this study can serve as a foundation for developing programs to improve the subjective well-being of the Chinese community in Lhokseumawe. Further research is recommended to expand the geographical scope and employ a longitudinal approach to understand changes in subjective well-being over time.

Abstract

Substance abuse has a serious impact on the sleep quality of clients undergoing rehabilitation, often resulting in insomnia and other sleep disturbances that can hinder the recovery process. Poor sleep quality may exacerbate psychological conditions and increase the risk of relapse. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing a token economy as a behavioral modification method to improve the sleep quality of clients with substance use disorders during their recovery process. This research employed a mixed-method approach using a sequential exploratory design. The results showed an improvement in sleep quality among all three subjects after the implementation of the token economy. These findings suggest that the token economy is effective as a positive reinforcement strategy in modifying sleep behavior in clients with substance use disorders and may serve as an alternative approach to support the success of recovery programs.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the subjective experiences of students with social anxiety in academic contexts, as well as the coping strategies they employ to manage it. Social anxiety refers to a form of anxiety that arises from the fear of negative evaluation in social interactions. In academic settings, this often manifests in situations such as presentations, group discussions, or communication with lecturers. A qualitative approach with a narrative method was employed. Five active university students who experienced symptoms of social anxiety were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic-narrative analysis. The findings revealed that students experienced both physical symptoms (e.g., cold hands, heart palpitations, and sleep disturbances) and cognitive symptoms (e.g., overthinking and excessive fear of judgment). The coping strategies identified were categorized into two main types: problem-focused coping, such as practicing presentations and preparing scripts, and emotion-focused coping, such as praying, sharing with friends, and self-reflection. Some respondents also reported using avoidance strategies, such as skipping presentations due to feeling unprepared.

Abstract

This study examines the function of religiosity as a coping strategy for burnout in women who have experienced fatherlessness. Fatherlessness, characterized by the lack of a paternal figure either physically or emotionally, has been linked to heightened susceptibility to psychological distress, encompassing identity confusion, emotional instability, and burnout. A qualitative case study methodology was employed to gather data from two Muslim women aged 18–25 through comprehensive online interviews conducted via Google Meet. The data were subjected to thematic analysis to discern persistent patterns associated with religiosity and coping behavior. The results showed five main themes: (1) losing a father figure as a cause of burnout, (2) changes in identity and emotional dynamics after loss, (3) withdrawal as a first way to deal with loss, (4) religiosity as a way to deal with emotions and spirituality, and (5) crisis and spiritual acceptance. The findings suggest that religiosity serves a transformative function in assisting individuals to cope with burnout and emotional turmoil. Religious practices, including prayer, supplication, and Qur’anic reflection, offered emotional solace, a sense of connection, and a framework for meaning-making that culminated in acceptance and gratitude. The research concludes that religiosity functions as an emotional regulator and a source of psychological resilience for fatherless women, aiding their transition from emotional distress to spiritual tranquility. These findings emphasize the necessity of incorporating spiritual dimensions into psychological support and counseling interventions for individuals facing analogous conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between optimism and subjective well-being among Tahfidz Islamic boarding school students. Students in Tahfidz schools face unique academic and spiritual demands that may influence their psychological well-being. Using a quantitative correlational research design, data were collected from 165 students selected through quota sampling. The research instruments included the Subjective Well-Being Scale by Aliya (2020) and the Optimism Scale by Asfia (2017). Data analysis employed Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation using SPSS 26.0. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between optimism and subjective well-being (r = 0.367, p < 0.05), indicating that higher optimism corresponds to higher well-being among Tahfidz students. Among the optimism aspects, permanence showed the strongest correlation with well-being. These findings highlight the importance of fostering optimism to enhance students’ emotional resilience and life satisfaction within Islamic boarding school settings.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the flow experience of students who are active in the Psychology Student Association (HIMAPSI) at Malikussaleh University, amidst the academic pressures they face. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, 50 students became the subjects of the study through a total sampling technique. The research instrument was a validated flow scale that showed high reliability (Cronbach's Alpha= 0.930). The results showed that the majority of students (80%) were in the moderate flow category, 14% in the high category, and 6% in the low category. These findings highlight the importance of self-management strategies and environmental support in supporting the psychological well-being of students who play dual roles as academics and organizers.

Abstract

In the digital age, students often suffer from mental health problems because they use their smartphones too much, which makes it hard for them to control their emotions and feel good about themselves. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a digital detox intervention in enhancing emotional regulation and promoting tranquility among university students. Employing a mixed-method approach with a quasi-experimental design, five participants (S1–S5) engaged in a seven-day digital detox program that limited social media and non-essential digital activities. Data were gathered via self-report scales and narrative reflection journals, subsequently analyzed descriptively and thematically. The findings demonstrated substantial enhancements in emotional stability, concentration, and sleep quality, suggesting that diminished screen exposure facilitated psychological equilibrium and inner tranquility. The results show that a digital detox can be a good way to improve mental health, especially for people who are prone to becoming dependent on technology. Additional research involving larger and more heterogeneous samples is necessary to corroborate these findings.

Abstract

The phenomenon of happiness among the elderly living in nursing homes has attracted increasing scholarly attention due to its implications for psychological well-being and quality of life. This study explores the reconstruction of meaning and factors that contribute to elderly happiness within institutional settings in Indonesia. Through an integrative review of recent empirical studies from 2019 to 2025, the analysis identifies key determinants influencing happiness among residents of nursing homes, including religiosity, social support, psychological resilience, and engagement in daily activities. The findings reveal that spirituality and religious participation serve as essential coping mechanisms, fostering a sense of meaning and acceptance in later life. Social connectedness—manifested through peer relationships and staff support—also significantly enhances emotional satisfaction and reduces loneliness. Moreover, active involvement in structured social or religious programs contributes to a sense of belonging and purpose. Conversely, limited autonomy, weakened family ties, and inadequate emotional engagement were identified as major barriers to happiness. These insights align with the eudaimonic framework of well-being proposed by Ryff (1989) and the positive psychology perspective advanced by Seligman (2011), emphasizing that happiness in old age extends beyond pleasure to encompass meaning and self-realization. The study underscores the importance of a holistic care approach in Indonesian nursing homes—integrating psychosocial, spiritual, and cultural dimensions—to promote psychological well-being among the elderly.

Abstract

Interpersonal forgiveness is a crucial component of psychological well-being and positive character development, particularly in children. Given the known efficacy of narrative-based learning and the profound moral depth of religious stories, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a video intervention based on the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) in enhancing forgiveness among children.The study employed a quantitative experimental design using a Nonrandomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Participants were 20 children from the Rangkang Pustaka Community, divided equally into an experimental group (receiving the video intervention) and a control group (no intervention). Forgiveness was measured using an adapted Forgiveness Scale before and after the treatment.The results of the Independent Samples t-test showed a statistically significant difference between the posttest scores of the experimental group (Mean = 29.90) and the control group (Mean = 26.20), with t(18)=2.842 and p=0.011 (α=0.05). This finding confirms the rejection of the null hypothesis.In conclusion, the video intervention based on the story of Prophet Yusuf is an effective and highly practical tool for significantly increasing children's forgiveness levels. The study recommends integrating culturally and spiritually relevant narratives into character education programs to foster prosocial behavior.
