Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of personality (including extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and neuroticism) on social loafing. The research method chosen is quantitative. The research sample comprised 222 college students at UIN Syekh Wasil Kediri, selected using an accidental sampling technique. The instruments used were the Big Five Inventory, adapted by Agung et al. (2019), and the social loafing scale, adapted by Ramdhani (2012). The test results showed F = 7.32 with a significance of p = 0.00 (<0.01), meaning that the variables of extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreement, and openness to experience simultaneously influence social loafing. The next result, partially, the dimensions of agreement (β = –0.196; p = 0.005) and conscientiousness (β = –0.276; p = 0.000) had a significant negative effect on social loafing. This indicates that the higher the two dimensions, the lower the tendency of students' social loafing behavior.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Jaran Dor Dance practice on improving the self-confidence of students in grades IV-VI SDN 1 Tunggorono. Using an experimental approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, this study involved 30 students who were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using a confidence scale in Likert format and supported by observation and documentation. The Jaran Dor Dance intervention is carried out in a structured manner, paying attention to the characteristics of the development of elementary school students and the potential of local cultural arts as a medium for individual capacity development. The results of the analysis showed a significant increase in self-confidence (t = -42.419, p < 0.001) with an average increase of 13.93 points. Observational data revealed that students progressively demonstrated increased willingness to perform in front of peers, showed more active participation in group discussions, and exhibited greater initiative in leading dance movements by the final sessions. These findings indicate that Jaran Dor Dance is effective in increasing students' confidence through culturally meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

Syiah Kuala University (USK) is one of the state universities in Indonesia located in Aceh, where the majority of students are Muslim. Such an environment can be an important factor that influences the experience of non-Muslim students in adjusting to an environment rich in Islamic values and norms. The purpose of this study is to determine how non-Muslim students at USK adjust, including the challenges they face and how they adapt to their surroundings. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data collection for this study was conducted through observation and in-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview model. There were five research participants obtained through purposive sampling, with the criteria being active students at USK who are non-Muslim. The results of this study show that the adjustment process of non-Muslim students is going quite well. Challenges in the form of cultural differences, religious activities, and social norms on campus were faced with an open attitude, mutual respect, respect for worship time, and adjusting the way of dressing. Conversely, the support of the environment greatly helped them to adapt. Peers, lecturers, and student organizations were perceived as tolerant. They felt mutual respect and received adjustments to their activity and worship schedules in accordance with their religion. The people around them also actively and openly build relationships with them, so that they feel accepted for who they are without discrimination.

Abstract

This study investigates the complex and often regressive social responses to rape victims, highlighting the persistent stigmatization, victim-blaming, and institutional neglect they experience. Even in the face of changing legal contexts and heightened public sensitivity, victims are often confronted with hostility, suspicion, and exclusion that erode justice and emotional healing. By integrating different socio-legal approaches from linguistic research into rape sentencing and sociocultural assessments across South Asian realities, this article highlights how patriarchal ideology, religious meaning-making, and honor ideologies create a culture of impunity and silence. Institutional limitations in the form of underreporting, police indifference, procedural failures, and a culture of shame that both disempower and disempower victims from reporting crimes are discussed. The discussion also covers legal solutions, state obligations, and new activism to redefine the discourse of sexual violence. Finally, the paper seeks a multifaceted critique of current societal responses, calling for survivor-centered reforms, educational campaigns, and institutional accountability to change attitudes in society and in courts. Through this in-depth analysis, this research hopes to create a more empathetic, more informed, and more just environment for rape survivors.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore and evaluate the implementation of Life’s Ten Principles in the Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education (CTHE) program at General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University as a promotive and preventive effort to enhance brain health and mental well-being among early-career academics. This study also aimed to examine how the integration of brain health activities into the learning process could support professional development, improve teaching effectiveness, strengthen mental resilience, and create a healthy, happy, and productive learning environment. General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University pioneered preventive brain health and mental well-being by integrating Life’s Ten Principles into the Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education (CTHE) program during the 2024 Preventive Brain Health Week. The pilot program involved 40 early-career academics who participated in interactive lectures, practical sessions, and reflective teaching portfolios focusing on holistic lifestyle factors such as healthy eating, physical activity, sleep hygiene, stress management, metabolic health, and social engagement. The findings suggest that feedback from students and young academics was utilized to guide decisions regarding program improvement. Furthermore, participants reported that integrating brain health activities may support professional development, teaching effectiveness, and mental resilience, thereby contributing to a healthy, happy, and effective learning environment.

Abstract

Discipline is a form of students’ attitudes and behaviors in the school environment that reflects obedience to rules, self-control, and commitment to fulfilling responsibilities with full awareness. However, observations of fourth-grade students at SDN Satak 2 revealed a lack of disciplinary behavior, such as not wearing the prescribed uniform, failing to complete assignments on time, not maintaining order during learning activities, and neglecting classroom duty schedules. These behavioral issues encouraged the researcher to implement a token economy intervention. This study aimed to examine whether the token economy method could improve the disciplinary behavior of fourth-grade students at SDN Satak 2 Puncu, Kediri. This study employed a quantitative method with an experimental approach using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The population of this study consisted of all fourth-grade students at SDN Satak 2, totaling 14 students, and the sample included the entire population using a saturated sampling technique. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 43.79 in the pretest to 62.86 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test yielded a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference before and after the implementation of the token economy method. The N-Gain value was 0.7986, which falls into the high category, indicating a substantial improvement in scores. Therefore, the token economy method is proven to be effective in improving the disciplinary behavior of fourth-grade students at SDN Satak 2 Puncu, Kediri.

Abstract

Trauma is a complex psychological condition arising from overwhelming events such as violence, disaster, or profound loss, often leaving long-term effects on mental health and daily functioning. Recovery requires multidimensional approaches, and forgiveness has increasingly been recognized as a crucial therapeutic process. Rather than excusing harmful actions, forgiveness involves releasing resentment, which can reduce symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety, while also enhancing physical health and relationships. Within Islamic psychology, forgiveness is emphasized as a spiritual pathway to restoring harmony with oneself, others, and God. Recent studies in Indonesia and globally highlight the effectiveness of forgiveness interventions across diverse populations, including survivors of violence and families of patients with chronic illness. To capture the evolving landscape of this research, the present study applies bibliometric analysis to 247 publications on trauma and forgiveness from 2016–2025. Using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, it maps publication trends, collaboration networks, and thematic developments, providing a comprehensive overview and identifying future directions for integrative, culturally grounded trauma interventions.

Abstract

Students who memorize the Qur’an have dynamics that indicate that they carry dual responsibilities as academic learners and guardians of memorization, requiring strong self-regulation that ultimately influences their level of happiness. This study has three objectives: (1) to identify the variation of self-regulation among Qur’an-memorizing students at the Hamalatil Qur’an; (2) to identify the variation of happiness among these students; and (3) to examine the corelations between self-regulation and happiness in Qur’an-memorizing students at the same institution. This study employed a correlational design with a quantitative approach. The study population consists of 130 Qur’an-memorizing students, and the sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 57 individuals who met the criteria. The research findings show that variations in self-regulation are mostly categorized as high, with 30 students (52.6%), while the remaining 27 students (47.4%) fall into the moderate category. Furthermore, variations in happiness among the students predominantly fall within the moderate category, represented by 37 students (64.9%), followed by 20 students (35.1%) in the high category. Self regulation and happiness in Qur’an-memorizing students have a significant relationship, which is reflected in the correlation coefficient obtained is r = 0.684 with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This means that higher levels of self-regulation tend to correspond with higher levels of happiness among students who must balance the demands of memorizing the Qur’an while managing their academic responsibilities at the Islamic boarding school.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of parental roles on the formation of children’s identity and behavior, as well as the impact of limited parental involvement on children’s psychological development. Using a library research approach, this study reviews approximately 30 scientific sources obtained from Google Scholar and national and international journal databases, including journals, books, and scientific articles related to developmental psychology and parenting practices, with data validity strengthened through source triangulation. Findings indicate that children who lack guidance, attention, and emotional attachment from parents are at risk of identity confusion, impulsive behavior, low self-confidence, and social adjustment difficulties. Active, warm, consistent, and responsive parental involvement supports stable identity formation and adaptive behavior, highlighting the critical role of parents in optimal child psychological development.

Abstract

Mosques serve not only as places of worship but also as centers for spiritual and social development for Muslims. In the context of dynamic urban communities, worshippers have specific preferences when choosing a mosque for prayer. This study aims to determine the influence of the social environment, individual characteristics, and psychological processes on worshippers' preferences in choosing a mosque for prayer. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method using a questionnaire as the primary data source. The study was conducted in Denpasar Bali, with respondents from mosque worshippers selected purposively, where the number of sample used was 340 respondents. Data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results show that individual characteristics have a positive and significant influence on worshippers' preferences in choosing a mosque a path coefficient of 0.272 with a t-value of 2.198. Psychological processes also have a positive and significant influence on worshippers' preferences a path coefficient of 0.368 with a t-value of 2.767. Meanwhile, the social environment has a negative and insignificant influence on worshippers' preferences in choosing a mosque a path coefficient of -0.026 with a t-value of 0.230. These findings indicate that congregant preferences are more determined by individual internal factors and psychological experiences than by surrounding social factors. This research provides important implications for mosque managers to emphasize strengthening the individual and psychological aspects of congregants in an effort to increase comfort, loyalty, and participation.
