Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the behavior of public transport users and raised concerns about the means of transportation. Therefore, this study aims to explain the mediating effect of environmental concern in the relationship between five personality traits on the intention to use Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) during the pandemic. A correlational survey of 425 participants was conducted, and the analysis found that all five personality traits did not directly predict the intention to use BRT. Furthermore, there was a positive mediating effect at the weak level of environmental concern on the relationship between four of the personality traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience) toward the intention to use BRT. The results showed that the mediating effect of environmental concern was not significant for the relationship between neuroticism and BRT usage intentions. It was reported that one of the reasons people use public transportation is due to environmental concerns during a pandemic.

Abstract

Society 5.0 is a concept of society that must humanize humans with technology. If the industrial revolution 4.0 makes humans more modern because they have access to technology, then society 5.0 is a time where technology becomes part of humans. Industrial revolution 5.0 employees are more focused on being prepared to think critically, analytically and creatively to adapt in the future. Therefore, this research aims to test the construct validity of the workforce agility measurement tool. To test the psychometric characteristics of this research, researchers will use an item response theory approach with the Rasch model. In this research, data collection was carried out by distributing instruments or questionnaires to respondents using Likert. This research consisted of 182 respondents. The results of this study show that the validity of the items is quite good with a unidimensional value of 30.2%, there are 24 scale items that are identified as fit or according to the Rasch model reliability coefficient (item = 0.96, respondent = 0.88, Cronbach's alpha = 0.89). The analysis also shows that there are four gender bias items (male, female). From these results, this scale can be used to measure workforce agility of workers in companies or members of organizations.

Abstract

Urban society shown a more heterogenous personal quality compared to rural society such as greater diversity in social status and religious pluralism. Unfortunately, structure of urban society tends to put achievement above morality in academic practices. This can be seen in academic phenomenon such as cheating, and plagiarism. Such practices are only made easier through technology. Since the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic the use of technology is increasing substantially in learning process. In urban region such as Jakarta metropolitan area, Indonesia, the use of internet and technology in university become one of many factors that facilitate academic dishonesty behaviors. This research is quantitative research with samples of 187 university students currently taking courses on associate degree, bachelor, and master’s degree from public and private universities inside and outside of Jakarta metropolitan area (JABODETABEK). The result showed differences in proportion of internal factor variance that includes religious commitment, self-efficacy, and self-monitoring. Participants in Jakarta metropolitan area are controlled more by internal factors to abstain from academic dishonesty, compared to students outside of Jakarta metropolitan area. These findings can give consideration for universities stakeholders to enact an academic climate that supports integrity with character development, especially in urban universities.

Abstract

The study aimed to adapt the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) Scale developed by Alt (2015). Instead of measuring FoMO only in a social context such as in previous studies, the development of this FoMO Scale was to also identify the levels of FoMO in the context of social media use during learning processes. The cross-cultural scale adaptation process referred to the forward-backward translation procedure by Beaton et al. (2000). Psychometric properties were assessed from its construct validation and reliability. Validation evaluation was carried out using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) from 534 samples of college students who experienced online lectures during the pandemic situation in Java. The construct validation supported the multidimensionality of the scale; Social FoMO, News FoMO, and Commercial FoMO had met the Goodness of Fit criteria (RMSEA ≤ 0,1; GFI ≥ 0,9; CFI≥ 0,8; AGFI ≥ 0,8) with factor loadings ranging from 0,42—0,74. The scale also proved to be reliable (ɑ=0,842). Thus, the Indonesian version of the FoMO Scale is eligible to measure the three dimensions of FoMO in Indonesia.

Abstract

Addictive alcohol use among university students in China is a growing public health concern. This study examines Binge drinking and time perspective among Black African students from Southwest University in China. While the Time Perspective focuses on the past, present, or future that may predict alcohol abuse, its relationship with Binge drinking among Black Africans in China remains unexplored. Among 370 participants, data was gathered using the Time Perspective Inventory and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Regression analysis indicated a positive association between the present (fatalistic, hedonistic), future, and past-positive TP and binge drinking, while the Future time frame showed an indirect correlation. Age and Sex also correlated with Past Positive and Future time frames. These findings might inform interventions to mitigate heavy drinking on campuses, given students' concerns about future uncertainties.

Abstract

Distance learning as an impact of COVID-19 pandemic becomes a challenge for teacher effectiveness. The current study examined the role of psychological capital as a mediator of the relationship between openness to experience and teacher effectiveness. This study involved 172 senior high school teachers in Jabodetabek as respondents who are currently conducting distance learning. Respondents are 117 female teachers (68%) and 55 male teachers (32%) who have teaching experience in the range of 5 months to 35 years (M = 161.34, SD = 121.8). The mediation analysis results revealed a significant indirect effect between openness to experience and teacher effectiveness through psychological capital, ? = .999, p < .01, 95% CI [.668, 1.369]. These findings prove that psychological capital mediates the relationship between openness to experience and teacher effectiveness. Therefore, teachers should have high openness to experience to increase psychological capital so teacher effectiveness will also increase.

Abstract

Urban environments can help form cross-ethnic friendships among individuals. However, many parents impose restrictions on their children’s ability to develop friendships, particularly between Chinese and Javanese ethnic groups. These parental restrictions directly impact the quality of friendships and are believed to be mediated by self-efficacy. This study examined the role of self- efficacy as a mediator in the relationship between parental restrictions and the quality of cross- ethnic friendships. The study involved 400 emerging adults aged 18–25 years, comprising 200 Chinese and 200 Javanese individuals. Parents’ peer restriction, Cross-Ethnic Friendship Self- Efficacy, and McGill Friendship Questionnaires-Friendship Function were used to measure parental restriction, self-efficacy, and friendship quality. Hypotheses were tested using the Sobel test. The study found that self-efficacy did not mediate between parental restriction and friendship quality. The findings suggest considering the role of friendship duration on interethnic friendship quality consistent with the principles of proximity and homophily.

Abstract

The increased adoption of distance learning in higher education, which was especially evident in urban areas during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the crucial role of self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. Although previous research demonstrated positive correlations between learner factors and SRL in distance education, a research gap exists in understanding the mediating and moderating roles of specific factors. This study addresses this concern by examining the relationship between digital literacy and SRL as mediated by attitude toward e-learning with task value as a moderator. The study recruited 538 college students (aged 17–25 years) from 10 public universities. Digital literacy was measured using the Self-perceived Evaluations of Digital Literacy Competencies. We measured attitudes toward e-learning using the E-Learning Attitudes Questionnaire. This study also used the Subjective Task Value instrument to measure task value and the Self-Regulated Online Learning Scale to measure SRL. The results indicate that task value significantly strengthened the relationship between digital literacy and SRL through the mediating role of attitudes toward e-learning. Hence, digital literacy can support SRL through the mediation of attitudes toward e-learning and is strengthened by the task values of college students in distance learning.

Abstract

Unsustainable consumption is at the root of many current environmental issues, including global warming, waste pollution, and biodiversity loss. It is therefore important to identify the predictors of sustainable consumption, particularly among Generation Z, the largest age cohort in the current population of Indonesia. This research aimed to investigate the association between nature relatedness, environmental concern, and sustainable consumption behavior among Generation Z in Semarang City. A total of 140 participants were involved in this research through convenience sampling. Instruments that were used are the Sustainable Consumption Behaviour scale (19 items; α=0.841), the Nature Relatedness scale (24 items; α=0.904), and the Environmental Concern scale (24 items; α=0.878). The data was analyzed with the hierarchical multiple regression technique using SPSS version 29.0.1.1 software. The findings reveal that nature relatedness and environmental concern positively predict sustainable consumption behavior (β=.275, p

Abstract

Sleep is crucial to the overall well-being of individuals. Sleep deficiency can lead to various physical and mental health issues, including more severe insomnia, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Improving sleep quality is often emphasized through sleep hygiene. An emerging nonpharmacological intervention is the use of weighted blankets, which apply deep-pressure stimulation to promote feelings of relaxation, comfort, and security similar to a gentle hug. This study explored the effects of weighted blankets on sleep quality and symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Thirty participants (M = 33 years, SD = 9.13) used weighted blankets for 14 nights. They completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 items (HSCL-25) questionnaires. A wearable sleep tracker monitored physiological conditions such as resting heart rate, breathing quality, stress levels, total sleep duration, and deep sleep percentage. Results indicated significant improvements in subjective sleep quality and reductions in insomnia, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, although no significant changes were noted in objective sleep quality scores. As a quasi-experimental study with no control group, the study carries the limitations related to a quasi-design.
