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.
