Abstract

Education systems play a critical role in shaping students’ cultural identities in an increasingly globalized world. In Pakistan, the growing presence of international schools following Western curricula exposes students to values that often diverge from local traditions. Drawing on Erikson’s identity theory, Berry’s acculturation model, and Tajfel and Turner’s social identity theory, this study examines how Western curricula influence students’ self-perception, identity conflict, and cultural alienation. Data were collected from 324 students (179 males, 145 females) enrolled in O-level and A-level programs across five international schools in Lahore, Punjab, using a cross-sectional survey design. The results indicate that Western curricula significantly shape the self-concept of students, frequently generating identity conflict and feelings of cultural alienation as local traditions and indigenous knowledge are marginalized. While such education enhances global competitiveness, it simultaneously fosters socio-cultural dissonance, undermining the sense of belonging of students. These findings highlight the need for curriculum reforms that balance global perspectives with indigenous cultural integration.

Abstract

This quantitative descriptive-comparative research assessed the effectiveness and adequacy of SPS in a higher education institution in Southern Tagalog, Philippines. This study aimed to identify the perceived importance of both direct and indirect psychological services and evaluate the extent of administrative support in implementing them. Participants included 75 administrative personnel, 30 mental health staff, and 384 faculty and student respondents selected through stratified proportional sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable instrument (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.966-0.989) and analyzed using analysis of variance and independent sample t-tests. Results revealed that all respondent groups rated direct services as very important (M = 4.17-4.48) and indirect services as moderately important (M = 3.91-4.37). Administrative support was moderately high (M = 3.28-4.25). Strengthening collaboration, policy support, and infrastructure development can enhance service delivery and improve academic and psychological well-being.

Abstract

In recent years, the widespread use of social media platforms has raised questions about their impact on marital relationships. This study examined the relationship between marital satisfaction, social media use, and certain sociodemographic characteristics. This descriptive and cross-sectional study comprised 461 individuals residing in Turkey who had been married for at least one year. Data were collected using the Bergen Social Media Addiction and Marital Satisfaction Scales. Statistical analyses included t-tests, analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis. Social media addiction was high among 16.5% of the participants. Marital satisfaction was higher among males, those who married at age 25 or older, individuals in their first five years of marriage, those with fewer children, those with regular employment and higher income, and those who made their own decision to marry. Regression analysis revealed that age, gender, social media addiction score, and autonomy in the marriage decision were significant marital satisfaction predictors. Social media addiction is negatively associated with marital satisfaction. In addition, factors such as personal autonomy in the marriage decision, age, and gender significantly predict marital satisfaction. These findings indicate that when planning preventive and supportive interventions to enhance marital satisfaction, these variables should be considered.

Abstract

Environmental identity refers to an individual’s understanding of how their environment shapes their identity and relationships. This connection may cause climate change anxiety and motivate pro-environmental behavior. Using an explanatory, cross-sectional design, we examined whether environmental identity (EI) predicts climate change anxiety (CCA) and whether pro-environmental behavior (PEB) moderates their relationship. Seven hundred sixty-one Filipinos aged 18–25 completed the Revised Environmental Identity Scale, Climate Change Anxiety Scale, and Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale. Our findings revealed a significant positive relationship between environmental identity and anxiety about climate change. However, moderation analysis indicated that environmental identity is only associated with climate change anxiety among participants with high pro-environmental behavior. Thus, Gen Z Filipinos who connect more with nature (high EI) experience greater anxiety (high CCA) only for those who actively engage in PEB. This study discusses the practical and theoretical implications of the findings.

Abstract

This study investigates the macroeconomic determinants of registered international migration to Türkiye by employing panel data regression techniques at the NUTS-2 regional level for the period 2016–2022. The results reveal that per capita income, employment, and the share of industry, services, and construction sectors in total production have a statistically significant and positive impact on migration inflows, while inflation exhibits a negative effect. However, agricultural production proportion and export performance do not appear to significantly influence regional migrant preferences. Causality tests further support the existence of both bidirectional and unidirectional relationships between economic indicators and migration. The findings underscore the importance of economic motivations in shaping migrants’ regional settlement choices, particularly for those who, after fleeing political instability in their home countries, choose to remain in Türkiye long-term. This research contributes to the limited body of macro-level empirical studies on migration in Türkiye and offers policy-relevant insights for developing regionally differentiated migration strategies.

Abstract

Competitive sports injuries have significant physiological and psychological consequences for athletes. While rehabilitation medicine effectively addresses the physical aspects of injury recovery, the psychological and emotional journey of injured athletes remains neglected. Thus, the current study addresses this gap by examining athletes’ transforming belief systems and emotional experiences during injury rehabilitation. A qualitative research design grounded in grounded theory principles was conducted with professional athletes to understand how their beliefs toward rehabilitation evolved over time. Findings revealed a dynamic process of belief transformation consisting of seven interconnected stages, captured in the Rehabilitation Belief and Engagement Transformation (RBET) Model: (1) Pre-rehabilitation Beliefs and Practices, (2) Initial/Early Emotional and Mental Struggles, (3) Emergence of Motivational Drivers, (4) Engagement in Rehabilitation, (5) Gradual Recovery and Readjustment, (6) Re-evaluation and Turning Point, and (7) Reintegration and Performance Adaptation. This seven-step model traces athletes’ journey from initial skepticism and risk-taking behaviors to emotional struggles marked by distress, fear, and self-doubt. With the emergence of motivational drivers, athletes gradually engage in rehabilitation to navigate both physical and psychological challenges. Rehabilitation progress fosters emotional upheaval and cognitive shifts, leading to re-evaluation of beliefs and full adherence to recovery procedures. Ultimately, athletes reintegrate into sport with adjusted mindsets, strategic performance adaptations, and renewed identity. The RBET model contributes to a more holistic understanding of recovery, emphasizing that effective rehabilitation must address not only physiological healing but also the psychological and emotional transformations that athletes undergo.

Abstract

Although the COVID-19 pandemic ended as a global health emergency, its psychosocial legacy persists in many communities. This study examines how religion and spirituality support recovery in Indonesia and Pakistan by shaping crisis narratives. Faith-based language is treated as psychosocial data and interpreted through its functions in meaning-making, emotion regulation, social connection, value anchoring, and action commitment using Psycho-Spiritual Transformation (PST) as a guiding framework. Open-ended responses were collected from 274 participants via an online survey in July 2021 (Indonesia n = 236; Pakistan n = 38). Across both contexts, narratives typically moved from pressure and inner conflict toward spiritual and relational reassurance and then toward renewed ethical orientation and practical commitments, including prosocial intentions and health-protective behaviors. The overall pattern was broadly similar across these two countries, indicating a shared faith-based meaning reconstruction grammar in highly religious societies. However, the Indonesian narratives more often combined diverse coping elements and translated faith into practical commitments, whereas the Pakistani narratives more strongly emphasized spiritual and relational reassurance. The findings highlight PST as a useful lens for distinguishing supportive faith discourse from forms of resignation that may hinder adaptive coping.

Abstract

Technological and digital developments in the current information age have brought profound transformations to organizations, especially business operations and structures. Digital organizational transformation may be more effectively managed through the combined influence of digital leadership and organizational intelligence. This study examines the impact of digital leadership and organizational intelligence on the digital organizational transformation process, addressing a clear gap in the existing literature, as few studies have empirically investigated these factors together. Data were collected via an online survey from 104 employees of a packaging company in Konya, Türkiye, using a convenience sampling method. The study was designed as an explanatory quantitative research, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 27. To test the hypotheses, descriptive statistics, reliability analyses, normality tests, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were conducted. The findings indicate significant positive relationships among digital leadership, organizational intelligence, and digital organizational transformation, suggesting that organizations with higher levels of organizational intelligence adapt more rapidly to digital transformation processes. From a practical perspective, managers can enhance their digital leadership competencies through data-driven decision-making, agile management practices, and fostering a digital innovation culture. Furthermore, strengthening organizational intelligence through systematic knowledge-sharing, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous learning initiatives can accelerate and sustain digital organizational transformation efforts. These results provide empirical evidence for integrated strategies that combine leadership capabilities and organizational intelligence to support organizations’ effective digital transformation.
