Abstract

The practice of publishing photos and videos containing children’s private information on social media—also known assharenting—is popular among parents in Jakarta. Embarking from the debate about privacy paradox in which it is believed that privacy concern does not predict someone’s behaviors in managing his/her private information online, this research tries to reveal the considerations underlying parental decisions when sharing their children’s private information through social media and their perceived risk toward their children’s online safety. Using qualitative approach, the researcher conducted interviews with 20 parents in Jakarta with at least one child younger 13 year old. The result suggests that the perceived benefit of sharenting exceeds its perceived risks. The study also found four reasons why parents exercise sharenting: to document their children’s development, to gain social support from their followers on social media, to overcome loneliness as a new parents and the low self-efficacy of parents in protecting children’s privacy on the internet. Unsurprisingly sharenting through social media has become a growing trend among parents. This finding thus will be useful as a groundwork to develop an intervention program with regards to relevant sharenting in the context of Jakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

Prosocial behaviour has been regarded as a necessity for a society to function well. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional competence, interpersonal relationship and prosocial behaviour among 496 school-going adolescents in Malaysia. The subjects were selected using Multistage Cluster Sampling method. Profile of Emotional Competence (PEC), Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment Scale (IPPA) and Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ) were used to measure emotional competence, interpersonal relationship with peers and adolescents’ prosocial behaviour respectively. The results showed that there were significant positive relationships among emotional competence, interpersonal relationship with peers and prosocial behaviour. Further analysis revealed that adolescents who reported having higher emotional competence tend to have a better interpersonal relationship with peers which in turn led to higher involvement in prosocial behaviour. Emotional competence and interpersonal relationship with peers are thus established as two important factors to promote prosocial behaviour among adolescents.

Abstract

Cyberbullying victimization has become a significant mental health concern, particularly among adolescents at risk of experiencing negative consequences like depression. As the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic forced everyone to stay at home and participate in all their educational, recreational, and entertainment activities online, this study investigated the relationship between cyberbullying victimization (CV) and depressive symptoms among 612 college students in Tamilnadu, India. We hypothesized that experiences of cyberbullying victimization would predict depressive symptoms among the participants. Adolescent participants aged 18 to 19 years old from colleges in Tamilnadu completed an online survey composed of the Cybervictimization questionnaire for adolescents (CYVIC) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Results obtained show a very strong positive relationship between cyberbullying victimization and depression, with CV being a very strong predictor in the relationship. Moreover, impersonation, written-verbal cyber victimization, visual-teasing/happy slapping, and online exclusion contributing highly to the strong positive relationship between the variables. These findings can be a foundation for intervention programs to alleviate depressive symptoms by addressing CV experiences and focus on further research on the negative consequences of cyberbullying victimization among adolescents.

Abstract

A resilient family is a family that is capable of survival, overcoming difficult challenges, and then grow stronger (Walsh, 2006). Cultural identity is one of the factors that play a role in forming family resilience, because in order to build the understanding and values of family resilience one needs to build it in accordance to local culture. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that build family resilience in Indonesian families, especially Batak Toba families. The measurement tool used in this study is Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ) to measure family resilience (α = .879), The Responses to Stress Questionnaire to measure coping (α = .755), and Family Strains Index to measure strain (α = .763). Another measurement tool is Batak Toba Adat Questionnaire (BAQ) and it is used to measure cultural identity (α = .677), community support, and socioeconomic status. The data is analyzed using Linear Structural Relation (LISREL) through Structural Equation Model (SEM) method. The subject of the study is individuals using Batak Toba surname (N = 295), consisting of 51.2% female and 48.4% male, with age range of 30-65 years old. The percentage of the subject that comes from a big family is 50.85%. The results of the study show that cultural identity, coping, family strain, community support, and socioeconomic status contribute together to build family resilience. The final model produced by this study shows that community support mediated cultural identity and socioeconomic status in building family resilience. Meanwhile, vairables family strain and coping directly affects the shaping of family resilience.

Abstract

The focus of the current study is to examine the nature of the relationship of goal orientation with psychological birth order. Likewise, it also looked into the ability of psychological birth order to influence the endorsement of achievement goals (mastery-approach and avoidance; performance- approach and avoidance). A total of 220 high school students engaged in shadow education answered the White-Campbell Psychological Birth Order Inventory (PBOI) and the Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ). Based on the regression analysis performed, only the pairing of psychological birth order and performance-approach is significant while those of psychological birth order, mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, and performance-avoidance are not significant. Further analysis revealed that those who are psychologically firstborns tend to endorse the mastery-approach goal orientation while those who are psychologically youngest or lastborn endorses mastery-avoidance.

Abstract

As ageism could have detrimental effects in the ageing society, it is important to know how people of different age groups perceive ageing and successive ageing. This study collected data from 648 respondents aged between 18 to 80 years old for an age-based analysis of the perceptions of ageing and successful ageing. Self- administered questionnaires were used. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between perception of successful ageing and factors associated with psychological well-being. Our results revealed that generally, being healthy, happy and physically active are considered as important aspects of successful ageing. Younger people considered life satisfaction as an important aspect of developing positive perceptions of ageing, while physical ability and life satisfaction are important factors for middle-aged adults. For older people, quality of life, good economic and health status are essential to developing successful ageing. Regardless of age, health is perceived as the most fundamental part of life. The findings offer valuable insights for the formulation of strategies to address the social and economic challenges of an ageing society.
