Abstract

Student academic achievement is often understood solely as a result of intellectual intelligence. However, success in higher education is also influenced by non-cognitive factors, one of which is emotional intelligence. This study aims to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement of Psychology students at University X through a qualitative approach. The case study approach is used to gain a deep understanding of students' subjective experiences in managing emotions, maintaining motivation, and building social relationships within an academic context. Research participants were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of active students who had completed at least four semesters with varying Cumulative Grade Point Averages (CGPA). Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and academic documentation, and then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The research findings revealed four main themes closely related to students' academic achievement, namely: emotional regulation skills in dealing with academic pressure, intrinsic motivation and perseverance in learning, empathy and social support that strengthen academic networks, and social skills that open up broader academic opportunities. Students with high emotional intelligence have been proven to be more capable of managing stress, maintaining learning motivation, building positive relationships, and performing confidently in academic settings. The integration of these four aspects shows that emotional intelligence is not merely a supplement but an essential foundation in supporting academic achievement. This finding suggests that universities should develop programs to enhance emotional intelligence, including emotion regulation training, peer mentoring, and social skills workshops. Thus, improving emotional intelligence can be an effective strategy to enhance both academic achievement and the professional readiness of Psychology students at University X. Highlights: Emotional intelligence strongly supports stress management, motivation, and social relations. Four key themes: regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Universities should design programs to enhance emotional intelligence. Keywords: Academic Achievement, Emotion Regulation, Emotional Intelligence, Intrinsic Motivation, Psychology Students.

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the level of self-activity and reveal the statistical significance of differences in the level of self-activity according to the two gender variables (male-female) among a sample of male and female supervisors in the Department of Internal Affairs at Wasit University. The research sample consisted of (150) male and female supervisors who were selected using stratified random sampling. To achieve this, the researchers developed a self-activity scale based on the theory of (Roon kurtus, 2012) and consists of (30) items distributed towards three dimensions: (mental activity, emotional activity, physical activity). After that, the research instrument was applied and the psychometric properties of the scale were tested for validity and reliability. Reliability was extracted in two ways: Cronbach's alpha and the test-retest method. The scale's reliability using the test-retest method was (0.86), while the reliability using Cronbach's alpha was (0.83). The research results showed that the supervisors of the internal departments enjoy self-activity and a positive attitude in their job performance, and there are no statistical differences according to gender between males and females. In light of the results shown, the researchers presented a number of recommendations and suggestions. Highlights: Supervisors demonstrated high scores across cognitive, emotional, and physical dimensions. Measurement results exceeded the predefined hypothetical benchmark. Male and female groups showed comparable patterns in assessed attributes. Keywords: Self-Activity, Internal Department Supervisors, University Administration, Gender Differences

Abstract

General Background: Academic procrastination is a common behavioral issue that disrupts students’ learning performance and task completion in secondary education. Specific Background: Students in vocational schools frequently face simultaneous academic and practical demands that require strong self-regulation skills. Knowledge Gap: Empirical evidence focusing on the association between self-control and procrastination within vocational high school contexts remains limited. Aims: This study investigates the relationship between self-control and academic procrastination among students of SMK Informatika Sumber Ilmu. Results: Using a quantitative correlational design with 203 participants selected through proportionate stratified random sampling, data collected via validated Likert scales revealed a significant negative correlation (r = −0.623, p < 0.05), with self-control contributing 46.4% of variance in procrastination levels. Most students demonstrated moderate levels on both variables. Novelty: The study provides context-specific evidence from vocational education, highlighting behavioral regulation patterns in students preparing for both academic and workplace demands. Implications: Strengthening self-regulatory skills may reduce delaying behaviors and support more disciplined academic performance, offering practical direction for school-based interventions and counseling programs. Keywords: Academic Procrastination, Self Control, Vocational Students, Correlational Study, Student Behavior Key Findings Highlights Strong inverse association between regulation capacity and delay tendencies Nearly half of behavioral variance explained by internal regulation factor Majority of participants categorized within moderate behavioral levels

Abstract

General Background: Academic demands frequently generate psychological pressure among secondary school students, making emotional management an essential personal resource. Specific Background: Numerous educational psychology studies indicate that difficulties in regulating emotions are associated with heightened academic stress symptoms in learning environments. Knowledge Gap: However, empirical evidence focusing on senior high school students within the local school context remains limited and requires systematic quantitative verification. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotion regulation and academic stress among students using a correlational design. Results: Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant negative association, indicating that students with better emotional control reported lower stress levels, while weaker regulation corresponded with higher tension and academic burden. Novelty: The study provides context-based data derived directly from high school learners and integrates standardized psychological scales to quantify both constructs simultaneously. Implications: Findings offer practical guidance for counseling services, classroom management, and student support programs to prioritize emotional skills training as a preventive strategy against learning-related stress, contributing to educational psychology literature and school-based mental health initiatives. Keywords: Emotion Regulation, Academic Stress, High School Students, School Counseling, Educational Psychology Key Findings Highlights significant inverse association between emotional control and pressure levels learners with poor coping strategies showed higher tension scores results support counseling interventions in school settings

Abstract

General Background: Temper tantrum is a common emotional outburst in early childhood that may manifest in aggressive behaviors such as hitting and can disrupt social interactions. Specific Background: In some cases, tantrums occur with high frequency and intensity, requiring structured behavioral interventions to prevent maladaptive patterns. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have widely applied the time out technique in children with developmental disorders, yet limited empirical evidence addresses its application in typically developing children using a Single Subject Research design. Aims: This study aims to examine the role of the time out technique in reducing hitting behavior as a form of temper tantrum in a 3.8-year-old boy. Results: Using a true experimental approach with an A1-B-A2 Single Subject Research design over 22 sessions, findings demonstrate a reduction in hitting frequency from 8–10 times per day during baseline to 4–2 times per day after intervention, with visual analysis and 0% overlap indicating consistent behavioral change. Novelty: The study provides empirical documentation of exclusionary time out applied to a non-clinical child within a structured SSR framework. Implications: These findings suggest that structured time out procedures can serve as an alternative behavioral modification strategy for parents and caregivers managing high-frequency tantrums. Keywords: Temper Tantrum, Time Out, Single Subject Research, Behavior Modification, Early Childhood Key Findings Highlights Hitting episodes declined progressively across baseline, intervention, and follow-up phases. Visual analysis indicated stable downward trends with zero data overlap in the final phase comparison. Consistent exclusionary procedure supported observable behavioral regulation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between job demands and job resources with employee well-being and performance. The research was conducted on employees of the Ministry of Finance, with data collected through a survey method using convenience sampling techniques. A total of 3,403 respondents participated in the survey. Based on analysis using Smart PLS, the findings indicate a negative correlation between job demands and well-being, and a positive correlation between job resources and well-being. Additionally, well-being is positively correlated with performance. Thus, well-being serves as a mediating variable in the relationship between job demands and job resources with performance. Highlights• Job demands show an inverse association with psychological condition levels• Job resources demonstrate a direct positive association with psychological condition levels• Psychological condition acts as a mediating mechanism linking work characteristics and performance KeywordsJob Demands; Job Resources; Well Being; Employee Performance; Mediation
