Abstract

Urban children and adolescents face various stressors, including academic pressure, digital media exposure, and limited green spaces, which influence their happiness perception. This study aims to explore the meaning of happiness in children and adolescents living in Indonesia’s urban areas through qualitative research using a drawing-based approach. A total of 243 participants, aged 9-15, from elementary and junior high schools in Jakarta, were asked to draw "I am happy when..." with written brief explanations. Data were analyzed using visual and narrative-thematic approaches across children and adolescents from a developmental psychology perspective. The findings reveal that the images and explanations of the drawings yield eight themes. Six themes (solitary, relational, naturalistic, material, altruistic, and wish-based happiness) emerged in both groups, while two themes (being free from problems and achievement) appeared only in the drawings of the adolescents. This study shows developmental differences in how happiness is perceived and expressed across age, gender, and contextual influences in urban settings. These insights can help educators, mental health professionals, and parents better understand the worlds of children and adolescents and design developmentally appropriate programs that support their happiness through symbolic expression.

Abstract

Abstract This study examines the role of commuting stress on job satisfaction, with burnout as a mediating variable. Data were collected from 113 commuting employees in urban areas, primarily within Greater Jakarta, an area known for severe traffic congestion, using a quantitative approach. Participants completed three validated questionnaires: the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) for job satisfaction, the Multimodal Commuting Stress Scale (MCSS) for commuting stress, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) for burnout. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS and processed using SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that CS has a direct negative effect on job satisfaction and is positively associated with burnout, which subsequently reduces job satisfaction. These findings confirm that burnout partially mediates the relationship between CS and job satisfaction. This study has practical implications for urban planning and organizational policy, emphasizing the need to consider commuting conditions as a key factor affecting employee wellbeing and productivity. By using a multidimensional scale to measure commuting stress, this research strengthens the understanding of psychological mechanisms linking commuting challenges to workplace outcomes.

Abstract

Academic stress is a common issue among university students due to heavy academic demands and performance pressure, affecting both physical and mental well-being. This study examines the effectiveness of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) in reducing academic stress. Using a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, stress levels were assessed before and after a session of shinrin-yoku among six Cianjur students with high academic stress. The research was conducted in locations within the scientific collection area of Cibodas Botanical Garden, identified as suitable for health and well-being interventions. The Profile of Mood States (Indonesian version) and Perception of Academic Stress Scale were used for measurement. Paired sample t-test analysis revealed a significant reduction in academic stress (p=0.03). Results indicate that shinrin-yoku effectively reduces academic stress by decreasing negative mood and enhancing positive mood. This study provides preliminary evidence that shinrin-yoku may be a nature-based approach to support students’ mental well-being, particularly in high-stress academic. However, the small sample size, pre-experimental design without a control group, and single-session intervention limit the generalizability and long-term interpretation of the findings.

Abstract

In the current manuscript, we describe how forensic psychology evolved in Indonesia in research and practice settings and how psychologists work as expert witnesses in legal cases. We performed a literature search using SINTA (the portal of Indonesian accredited journals) to retrieve publications on "Forensic Psychology," "Legal Psychology," or "Law Psychology" to search for papers in Indonesian journals. We also explored relevant publications about forensic psychology in Indonesia in international journals using the Web of Science (WoS) database, which showed findings concerning the lack of publication. Additionally, a literature search using WoS resulted compared with other areas of psychology in Indonesia, forensic psychology research is lagging. Additionally, we conducted semi-structured interviews with five APSIFOR members, asking about their experiences as psychological expert witnesses in Indonesia, the policies governing their work, their challenges, and recommendations for improving their work. Lastly, we illustrate two significant cases that call for serious attention to the development of forensic psychology in Indonesia. We conclude by providing several recommendations for improving Indonesian psychological expert witness work, emphasizing the importance of clear guidelines and standards, establishing a forensic psychology education program, conducting additional research, and increasing the competence of psychological expert witnesses.

Abstract

Urban environments, with their dense networks, mobility, and exposure to diverse ideologies, create conditions that can strengthen group attachment but also heighten vulnerability to religious extremist recruitment. Understanding the psychological processes behind such commitment is therefore essential. Identity fusion, a deep sense of oneness with a group and its members, is a key mechanism underlying willingness to sacrifice for the group. This study investigates how fusion develops through fulfillment of the psychological need for authenticity, defined as the need to be one’s true self within the group. Two studies were conducted among Muslim participants in Indonesia. Study 1 (N = 315) found that authenticity satisfaction predicted both identity fusion and willingness to sacrifice, with fusion mediating this relationship. Study 2 (N = 199) showed that perceived self-verification, or being seen by others as one sees oneself, predicted fusion through authenticity, which in turn influenced willingness to sacrifice. These findings suggest that fusion may arise from the fulfillment of relational needs, particularly authenticity. Recognizing authenticity as a pathway to fusion highlights a psychological vulnerability exploited by extremist groups and suggests practical avenues for prevention, such as strengthening inclusive communities, promoting trust-building, and fostering spaces for authentic self-expression.

Abstract

Abstract Emerging adulthood (ages 18-25) is a developmental stage marked by significant life transitions, which can heighten stress levels. In Indonesia, urban dynamics and socio-cultural pressures further intensify this stress among emerging adults. Cognitive flexibility, the ability to adaptively shift thoughts and strategies in response to changing circumstances, is an important factor in effective coping. This study examined the relationships among stress and adaptive coping, with cognitive flexibility playing a role as a mediator, among Indonesian emerging adults over three months (Time 1: N = 512; Time 2: N = 166) using a two-wave cross-lagged panel model (CLPM). Results indicated that cognitive flexibility did not mediate the relationship between stress and adaptive coping. Although stress was not directly related to adaptive coping, it was negatively associated with cognitive flexibility. In turn, cognitive flexibility was positively related to adaptive coping. These findings highlight cognitive flexibility as an independent adaptive resource. Future research should incorporate it into academic and counseling programs, helping individuals better navigate complex and emotionally challenging situations.

Abstract

Extremist violence continues to pose serious risks in urban areas, yet tools for understanding these radical mindsets on the general population remain underdeveloped. Research on the Militant Extremist Mindset (MEM) is fragmented, with no synthesis of findings, unclear factor structure across shifting subscales, and little evidence from contexts with a documented history of extremist activity like Indonesia. This study addresses these gaps through two studies. First, we conducted a systematic review of empirical studies and a meta-analysis of 11 studies (N total = 5293) to examine the correlates of MEM’s three components - nastiness (endorsement of violence), grudge (hostile outlook), and excuse (moral or religious justifications for violence). Results on correlates of MEM were grouped into six themes: group/context, personality, identity, subclinical traits, social attitudes, and values. Study 2 analyzed three datasets of Indonesian participants (N total = 516) to reexamine the factor structure for each version of MEM scale. One version showed the best fit and relatively consistent intercorrelations. Theoretically, we propose viewing MEM as part of a motivational dynamic rather than a static list of traits within a certain taxonomy. These findings provide evidence for further cross cultural comparison of MEM scale and assess longitudinal changes in societal militancy, particularly in urban settings. We also provide an adapted version of the scale and outline final refinements for future research and practice.
