Abstract

This study aimed to examine the construct validity and reliability of the Self-Compassion Scale among adolescents from broken home families. Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the measurement model revealed two major factors that represent self-kindness versus self-judgment and mindfulness versus over-identification. The results indicated that all items showed significant and strong factor loadings (p < .001), demonstrating high internal consistency across subscales (Cronbach’s α ranging from .914 to .917). The goodness-of-fit indices also supported the adequacy of the model (CFI = .969, RMSEA = .048, GFI = .979). These findings suggest that the scale has strong psychometric properties and can be effectively used to assess self-compassion in adolescents experiencing family disruption. The study further revealed that self-compassion plays a vital role in enhancing emotional resilience and reducing self-critical tendencies among broken home adolescents. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of developing intervention programs that foster mindfulness, self-kindness, and acceptance as protective factors against psychological distress.

Abstract

Academic stress has become a common problem among university students due to various challenges in adapting to new roles and academic environments. This study aimed to examine the effect of emotional writing on reducing academic stress among students. The research employed a pretest–posttest control group design involving 20 students from Universitas Malikussaleh. Participants in the experimental group engaged in emotional writing activities, while the control group did not receive any treatment. Data were analyzed using a paired samples t-test to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. The analysis showed that the Sig. (2-tailed) value was greater than 0.05 (p = 0.181), indicating no significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in the experimental group. These findings suggest that emotional writing, in this study’s context, did not significantly reduce academic stress. However, this research contributes to understanding the complexity of stress-reduction interventions and highlights the need for further exploration of individual differences and contextual factors influencing emotional writing outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the University Student Engagement Inventory (USEI) among santri university students living in Islamic boarding schools. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the multidimensional structure of the USEI—comprising behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement—was affirmed with satisfactory reliability. The findings align with previous international validations, demonstrating the instrument's applicability within a unique socio-religious context. Notably, affective engagement was more prominent in this population, reflecting the influence of communal and religious environments on student motivation. The study contributes a culturally sensitive tool for measuring student engagement in Indonesian higher education, while acknowledging limitations related to sample generalizability and self-report measures. Future research is recommended to explore longitudinal effects and expand validation across diverse academic settings.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the core dimensions underlying academic resilience through exploratory confirmatory factor analysis. A total of 27 items representing psychological aspects such as perseverance, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and social support were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation and Kaiser normalization. The results revealed ten principal components with significant factor loadings on several items, with rotation converging in 21 iterations. These components represent essential aspects of academic resilience, including adaptability, emotional control, achievement motivation, and social support. The findings provide empirical evidence for developing a valid and reliable instrument for measuring academic resilience within the context of higher education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Learning motivation plays a vital role in achieving optimal learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effect of educational-themed films on enhancing students’ learning motivation. The research involved 14 psychology students from Malikussaleh University who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research design used was a pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group was given an intervention using Nussa and Rara video media, while the control group was not. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental group (10.60) was higher than that of the control group (9.30). The significance value obtained was 0.015 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in the gain scores between the two groups. These findings suggest that educational-themed films have a positive effect on increasing students’ learning motivation and can be used as an alternative media in the learning process to enhance motivation and engagement.

Abstract

This study aimed to adapt and validate the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) for use among university students actively involved in student organizations in Indonesia. The adaptation process involved several stages, including pre-conditioning, expert judgment, and backward translation. The participants consisted of 240 Indonesian university students who were actively engaged in campus organizations. Data were analyzed using item validity testing, Cronbach’s Alpha reliability analysis, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to examine construct validity. The results indicated that out of the original 15 items, 6 items were found to be invalid and subsequently removed, resulting in a final model consisting of 9 items. The modified model demonstrated good fit with the empirical data, with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.931 and an Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value of 0.626, indicating high internal consistency and adequate convergent validity. Therefore, the adapted version of the OCQ can be considered a valid and reliable instrument for measuring organizational commitment among Indonesian university students involved in student organizations

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between social identity and tolerance toward diversity as an expression of citizenship in pluralistic societies. The aim of the research is to analyze how individuals’ identification with social groups relates to inclusive attitudes toward social, cultural, and religious differences. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed. Data were collected from 25 respondents living in diverse social environments using structured questionnaires measuring social identity and tolerance toward diversity. Descriptive and correlational analyses were used to identify response patterns and relationships between variables. The findings indicate that respondents generally exhibit moderate social identification alongside high levels of tolerance, openness, and respect for diversity. Social identity was not found to hinder tolerance; rather, when non-exclusive, it was associated with inclusive attitudes and rejection of discriminatory tendencies toward minority groups. This study contributes to psychological and citizenship research by highlighting the importance of inclusive social identity in fostering tolerance, social harmony, and responsible citizenship in diverse societies.

Abstract

This study explores the role of campus organizational culture in shaping the mental health of university students actively involved in student organizations. The study aims to obtain an in-depth understanding of how organizational values, leadership practices, communication patterns, and social interactions influence students’ psychological well-being. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation involving three undergraduate students actively engaged in campus organizations in Banda Aceh. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and meanings in participants’ experiences. The findings indicate that organizational cultures characterized by solidarity, open communication, democratic leadership, and strong social support contribute positively to students’ mental health by fostering emotional safety, motivation, and resilience. Conversely, hierarchical, overly competitive, and unsupportive organizational cultures were found to increase psychological pressure, stress, and emotional exhaustion. This study contributes to the understanding of campus organizations as psychosocial environments and highlights the importance of developing healthy, inclusive, and empathetic organizational cultures to promote students’ mental well-being in higher education settings.

Abstract

Academic stress is a common psychological issue experienced by students and santri due to high academic demands. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Butterfly Hug and Positive Affirmation techniques in reducing academic stress levels. A quasi-experimental method using a Non-Randomized Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design was employed, involving an experimental group and a control group. The participants were santri who experienced academic stress, measured using a validated academic stress scale. The experimental group received an intervention consisting of education and practice of the Butterfly Hug and Positive Affirmation techniques, while the control group received no treatment. Data were analyzed using paired samples t-tests and independent samples t-tests. The results indicated a significant reduction in academic stress levels in the experimental group after the intervention (p < .001), whereas no significant change was observed in the control group. These findings suggest that the Butterfly Hug and Positive Affirmation techniques are effective psychological interventions for reducing academic stress among santri. This study highlights the practical value of implementing simple and low-cost mental health interventions in educational settings.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global crisis that affects not only physical health but also psychological well-being, particularly increasing anxiety levels in the community. Various protective factors have been proposed to buffer psychological distress, including religiosity. This study aimed to examine the relationship between religiosity and anxiety among community members during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative correlational design was employed with participants drawn from early adulthood (18–40 years). Religiosity was measured using a multidimensional religiosity scale covering religious belief, religious practice, religious experience, and religious knowledge, while anxiety was assessed using a standardized anxiety scale. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and ANOVA-based significance testing. The results showed a significant negative correlation between religiosity and anxiety (r = −.511, p < .01), indicating that higher religiosity is associated with lower anxiety. All four dimensions of religiosity were also negatively correlated with anxiety: belief (r = −.174), practice (r = −.459), experience (r = −.528), and knowledge (r = −.285), all at p < .01. These findings suggest that religiosity functions as an important psychological protective factor in crisis situations. The study contributes to culturally contextual evidence regarding the role of religiosity in reducing anxiety during large-scale public health emergencies
