Abstract

Year to year, the suicide rate among academics in Nusa Tenggara Barat Province has risen because of various factors. Suicidal behavior results from suicidal ideation, which is triggered by negative emotions that cause psychological stress, such as depression. On the other hand, numerous previous studies found a contribution of happiness and depression to suicidal ideation. Hence, this study examined the significance of the role of happiness in moderating the effect of depression on suicidal ideation. Further, this was a survey study on academics in Nusa Tenggara Barat Province (n = 182). Moderator analysis was applied in this study using the PROCESS Macro version 3.0 installed in the IBM SPSS 23.00. The study’s findings have shown that happiness significantly moderates the effect of depression on suicidal ideation. The happier the person is, the lesser the depression impacts suicidal ideation. Moreover, these findings suggest that clinical psychologists working with academic clients should pay attention to increasing happiness as a resource for psychological interventions to reduce the severity of depression’s effect on suicidal ideation.

Abstract

Responsive parenting contributes to the friendship quality formed in adolescents. Previous studies failed to fully explain the relationship process between responsive parenting and friendship quality. Empathy is one of the interpersonal skills formed through responsive parenting. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of empathy in responsive parenting relations with friendship quality. A total of 450 respondents, including the early, middle, and late adolescents aged 12-15, 15-18, and 18-20 years, were selected as participants. Responsive parenting, empathy style, and friendship quality was measured using the Parental Responsiveness Scale, Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and the McGill Friendship Questionnaires-Friend's Functions. The research data were analyzed using regression analysis and Sobel test. The results showed that empathy is a mediator in the relationship between responsive parenting and friendship quality. Also, responsive parenting does not directly predict friendship quality but first develops fantasy and personal stress styles. Adolescents with high personal distress show sensitivity to the feelings and thoughts of their friends because the relationships formed are of higher quality.

Abstract

Student well-being has become a significant goal and outcome of quality education. The “PROSPER (Positivity, Relationships, Outcomes, Strengths, Purpose, Engagement, Resilience) student well-being” is a framework that provides a holistic approach to improve student’s well-being. This study aimed to explore the construct of student well-being in the West Java high school population, based on the PROSPER framework. We focused on exploring high school students in urban areas. A qualitative study was conducted in three different language zones in West Java by using observations and interviews. The data were collected by six enumerators with a total of 108 students using a sequential approach thematic analysis. The study found that student well-being and its components were consistent with the framework. However, we proposed the subcomponents of student well-being and its definitions that reflect the unique characteristics of the population. The study also found that personal factors, social factors, and physical urban environments may influence well-being from students' perspectives. This study suggests that the PROSPER framework can be used to describe student well-being and also guides the government to develop educational policies and intervention programs at school.

Abstract

Online dating applications are frequently used by young adults across the globe. Research from several countries has found a strong link between the use of dating apps and risky sexual behavior. Risky sexual behaviors refer to sexual behaviors that may lead to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and/or unwanted pregnancies. This study aims to examine the use of smartphone dating applications by young adults in big cities in Indonesia to explore if users engage in risky sexual behavior with fellow users. To investigate this question, this study employed mixed methods including a survey and focused interviews. The survey succeeded in collecting data from 633 dating application users and the focused interviews were conducted with 6 participants. Interview participants were young adults who used dating apps and have had sexual relations with partners found through these apps. Research findings show results that are relatively similar to previous research. The results highlighted that dating app was used to find friends or partners and as a means of channeling sexual desire. On one hand, participants were aware of the consequences of the practice of unprotected sex with multiple partners. On the other hand, they expressed a preference for engaging in risky sexual behaviors rather than refraining from them, with various justified and rationalized reasons that they were quite safe. Moreover, this study also noted the instance of men committing sexual violations against women who were made vulnerable and become “trapped” as victims of a sexual offense.

Abstract

Uncertain situations have further exacerbated great vulnerability to stressors and a high risk of mental health problems in urban populations. The adverse effects of uncertainty on well-being have been increasingly concerning and heightened the need to understand intolerance of uncertainty (IU) as a factor that influences responses to uncertainty. However, few scales have been developed to measure IU, especially in Indonesia. To address this concern, the current study aimed to develop a reliable and valid Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale for Indonesian Adults (IUS-A). The scale was developed and validated using data from 588 participants aged 20–65 years (M = 32, SD = 11.04) from various provinces in Indonesia. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the unidimensional IUS-A fit the theoretical model. The final version of the IUS-A consists of 18 items with good internal consistency and a valid measurement of IU. Furthermore, the items exhibited good discriminatory power to differentiate individuals with high and low levels of IU. Based on these results, IUS-A is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring IU in the adult population in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sexuality remains a divisive but relevant topic in Indonesia, especially concerning sexual minorities, societal view on sexuality, and what role education should take regarding sexuality. The views on the education field in Indonesia are separated on two camps, with some scholars decrying LGBTQ as a problem, a phenomenon incompatible with the national, cultural, and religious values. Whereas at the same time, other schools of thought are pushing for the integration and tolerance toward sexual minority. This article aims to review the current practices on how Indonesia education system handle the topic of LGBTQ. This is done through reviewing research articles that conduct intervention, education, or training that address the issue of LGBTQ. A within-case analysis will be carried out to analyze the articles in the dataset, and examining them based on method, justification or perceived urgency, stance toward the issue of LGBTQ, subject of the intervention and training, and intervention or training goal.

Abstract

The current workforce in organizations is heavily dominated by millennials, who have high turnover tendencies. Several studies have revealed a strong link between how urban millennials perceive their quality of work-life and their company loyalty. Furthermore, the level of organizational commitment (OC) has been consistently associated with employee turnover intentions (TI). Based on previous studies, OC serves as a mediating variable for the influence of quality of work-life (QWL) on TI. This study applies three online questionnaires—the QWL Evaluation Scale, the OC Questionnaire, and the Intention to Leave Scale. A convenience sampling technique is applied to sample 280 millennial employees (born from 1983 to 1998) in Jakarta. The data were analyzed with a regression-based mediation analysis method using PROCESS macro in SPSS. Our results reveal that the indirect effect of QWL on TI via affective and normative commitment is significant. It is also found that the mediating role of these two OC dimensions is partial. We recommend that retention strategies should be implemented to improve millennials’ OC.

Abstract

The introduction of single-use plastic into modern daily life has created an alarming number of plastic-waste in Indonesia. Government policies and social movements efforts to reduce and manage single-use plastic waste may not be enough. It is therefore important to study the factors related to the inclination of individual citizens to participate in the recycling effort, which is unfortunately still quite low. This study implements the Theory of Planned Behaviour to measure the predictiveness of the antecedent factors; attitude toward recycling single-use plastic, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control; on the intention to recycle single-use plastic among Generation Z in Jabodetabek. A number of 301 participants were selected through convenience sampling method; then the structural equation modelling was performed using Jamovi to study model fit and causal relationship among the factors. The proposed structural model demonstrated good model fit. The result shows that attitude was the strongest predictor of intention; followed by perceived behavioural control which was also an important predictor of intention at a slightly lesser degree. In contrast, subjective norm was a weak direct predictor of intention, it only contributes significantly to intention via the mediation of attitude toward recycling single-use plastic.

Abstract

Amidst the popular use of Tinder in urban society, the decision whether or not to date someone tends to be made quickly based on a photo and a short profile description. Simple as it may seem, there are moments when swiping gets challenging, especially for women. Tinder has a notorious reputation when it comes to gender-based violence. Unfortunately, despite the significant increase in online dating apps usage during the COVID-19 pandemic, this phenomenon is still highly underresearched. In this qualitative netnographic research, we explore Tinder sexual harassment narratives uploaded by women in Quora. Through judgment sampling, 15 answers from 7 questions posted by Quora users and 12 comments were analyzed. Criteria of inclusion for answers are as follows: Answers should (1) contain personal account on violence and/or harassment related to Tinder-use, (2) be written by women, (3) indicate that the perpetrator is male. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Four main themes emerged: the forms of gender-based violence experienced by women while dating men from Tinder, women’s feelings after experiencing gender-based violence perpetrated by their Tinder dates, women’s responses after experiencing gender-based violence from their Tinder dates, and responses from other Quora users after reading women’s stories on gender-based violence experienced through Tinder.
