Abstract

Teaching requires the fulfillment of multiple roles, including enhancing instructional practices, fostering student learning, serving as a role model, and collaborating with colleagues while adapting to the new curriculum, Kurikulum Merdeka. Consequently, teacher engagement is essential for improving teacher performance. Engaged teachers also experience better well-being and are less likely to face mental health challenges. According to the Job-Demands Resource Model, mindfulness in teaching and teacher resilience can be regarded as personal resources that foster teacher engagement. This study aims to investigate the relationship between mindfulness in teaching, teacher resilience, and teacher engagement. A total of 417 Indonesian teachers participated in this study by completing the three standardized scales: Mindfulness in Teaching Scale, Multidimensional Teacher Resilience Scale, and Engaged Teacher Scale. The result indicates a significant positive relationship between mindfulness in teaching and teacher engagement, fully mediated by teacher resilience. Mindfulness in teaching enhanced teacher resilience, which, in turn, fostered teacher engagement. These findings highlight the crucial role of mindfulness in teaching as a personal resource that enables teachers to navigate challenges and maintain engagement through improved resilience. The study emphasizes the importance of incorporating mindfulness practices into teachers’ daily lives to support them in their multifaceted roles.

Abstract

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a high-risk behavior that increases the desire and likelihood of attempting to commit suicide. Peer victimization has been found to precede NSSI. Both phenomena are prevalent among adolescents living in urban areas. This cross-sectional study investigated the role of social support in the relationship between peer victimization and NSSI. A total of 449 adolescents who lived in urban areas completed the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI), Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale (MVPS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to assess NSSI frequency, peer victimization, and perceived social support. The results found that NSSI is higher in girls. While boys experienced more peer victimization, they also perceived more social support. Early adolescents were the most vulnerable to peer victimization and NSSI. NSSI tended to be higher in adolescents whose parents were divorced. Results also showed that social support moderated the effects of peer victimization on NSSI (b = −.021, 95% CI [−.037, .006], p = .007). Family support lessens the impact of peer victimization on NSSI. The interaction between family support and peer victimization significantly explains the 13% variance of NSSI. Interaction between friends and support from significant others with peer victimization was not significant in predicting NSSI.

Abstract

Why do citizens tend to be silent about a country’s social, political, or economic problems? The silent majority refers to most members of society not support or engage in collective action to protest injustice. This study aimed to explain the silent majority’s psychosocial dynamics and fill the research gaps in the psychology literature that focuses on collective action and its determining factors. The study’s participants (N = 349), recruited using convenience sampling, were undergraduate and graduate students from several universities in Indonesia. In our study, the psychosocial characteristics of the silent majority included fatalism, cultural dimensions (i.e., power distance, uncertainty avoidance, collectivism, and masculinity), and national attachments (i.e., national identification and nationalism). Fatalism was the most significant predictor of the silent majority, with substantial mediating effects on the role of cultural dimensions in strengthening the silent majority. The findings revealed that nationalism significantly moderated the relationship between fatalism and the silent majority. Specifically, the positive relationship between fatalism and the silent majority was significantly stronger among participants with high, rather than low, levels of nationalism. These observations imply that fatalistic beliefs, the cultural characteristics of society’s members, and national pride underlie the psychosocial dynamics of the silent majority.

Abstract

Happiness is a state that is constantly strived for amidst the complexity of life. Previous research suggests that the student population is prone to psychological problems due to high workloads and a scarce resource of time that could affect happiness. Referring to previous studies, this study seeks to examine the relationship between feelings of awe and subjective well-being which is influenced by perceptions of time availability and perceived workload. Data were collected offline (N = 56) using VR devices to present awe-inducing videos, with responses measured via self-report. The results showed the absence of video effects on the condition of awe towards time availability (b = 0.118, p = 0.216), a positive and significant relationship was found between time availability and subjective well-being (b = 0.278, p = b = 0.412, p =

Abstract

Traffic congestion is a major transportation issue in Surabaya, prompting the city government to introduce solutions such as the "Wira-Wiri Suroboyo" feeder service. While the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) has been widely used to explain public transportation use, it has not yet been applied to this context. To fill this lacuna, this study used TPB to explore the public perceptions of the Surabaya to use or not using the "Wira-Wiri Suroboyo" feeder. A qualitative approach was used with six purposively selected participants. Data were gathered through interviews and analyzed using interactive techniques. The research findings indicate that the reasons for using or not using the "Wira-Wiri Suroboyo" feeder are significantly influenced by positive or negative evaluations of the feeder, the influence of significant others, and the perceived ease or difficulty of accessing the "Wira-Wiri Suroboyo" feeder. The participants recommended improvements, such as expanding routes, adjusting schedules, enhancing app use, and improving infrastructure and facilities. These insights can help the government improve the effectiveness of the service and contribute to easing traffic congestion.

Abstract

The dominance of "WEIRD" (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) authors might indicate significant differences in research practices between them and non-WEIRD researchers or highlight issues such as inequality and publishing bias. In this survey, using a convenience sample of researchers worldwide (N = 72), we examined current research practices and researchers' views on the feasibility of advancements in employed methodologies among and between researchers in both WEIRD and Non-WEIRD countries. Our results showed that research practices are fairly uniform across cultures, by researchers commonly relying on (student) convenience samples, using statistical packages such as SPSS and R, utilizing low-cost equipment, publishing once to five times a year, and contributing as reviewers and journal editors. Only significant differences were observed between WEIRD and Non-WEIRD researchers related to institutional support, such as opportunities for statistical consultancy and funding prospects. Respondents were supportive regarding progress in research practices, but cautioned that further developments might exacerbate existing inequalities, particularly at smaller and less funded institutions. Our main conclusion is that the visibility and outreach gap between WEIRD and non WEIRD researchers is primarily caused by systemic issues, rather than due to differences in research practices.

Abstract

This study explores the psychological factors that influence applying a technology acceptance model to KAI Commuter Jabodetabek. The model focuses on the primary variables of perceived usefulness and attitude toward the service, with passenger loyalty serving as the key indicator of successful public transportation acceptance. Data was collected via surveys from 352 purposively selected commuter workers in the Greater Jakarta area using a cross-sectional, quantitative design. The measurement tools used are adaptations of the Passenger Loyalty Measure to Public Transportation Modes, the Attitude Measure to Public Transportation, and the Perceived Usefulness Measure. The results indicate that attitude toward KAI Commuter Jabodetabek partially mediates the relationship between perceived usefulness and passenger loyalty (B = 1.2, t = 7.35, p < .001). This indicates that passengers’ decision to use or reject KAI Commuter Jabodetabek services depends on the ratio of benefits. By integrating principles from the technology acceptance model with psychological theories of attitude and behavior, this study addresses a critical gap in understanding how psychological and perceptual factors drive transit behavior. The insights gained provide valuable guidance for the design and management of PTSs , enhancing user adoption and long-term loyalty.

Abstract

Null-hypothesis significance testing and p-values are frequently criticized for their focus on detecting non-zero differences and their inability to provide evidence for the null hypothesis. In this article, we highlight how effect sizes, when meaningfully interpreted, can address these issues. Specifically, we argue that researchers should consider the smallest effect size of interest (SESOI) - the smallest effect size that yields practical or theoretical relevance. We propose several methods for estimating the SESOI and present a consensus study among Indonesian professionals which can be used to estimate the SESOI for child eyewitness testimony research. Results suggest that most Indonesian professionals consider one to two memory errors sufficient to take action, such as deeming testimony unreliable. We then showed how the SESOI, combined with confidence intervals, can be used data and power analyses (e.g., minimum-effect testing, equivalence testing). Finally, we emphasize that the practical relevance of an effect size should be carefully evaluated before making policy recommendations.
