Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of person-job fit on perceived employability among interns. This correlational quantitative study involved all active interns at PT Swabina Gatra using a saturated sampling technique. Data collection utilized valid and reliable Likert scale questionnaires. The descriptive statistical results showed that the distribution of the person-job fit variable was dominated by the moderate category (74.0%), followed by high (14.0%) and low (12.0%) categories. Meanwhile, perceived employability was also dominated by the moderate category (72.0%), followed by low (16.0%) and high (12.0%) categories. Hypothesis testing proved that person-job fit has a positive and significant effect on perceived employability, with a contribution effect (R-Square) of 55.2%. The alignment between individual competencies and job demands is the main determinant in shaping interns' subjective beliefs regarding their career competitiveness. This research recommends a career briefing program based on psychological strengthening through personal SWOT analysis to improve the adaptability and perceived employability of industrial interns.

Abstract

Parents who are overly strict in enforcing rules and exercising control can trigger role confusion and hinder adolescents’ process of self-exploration. This study aims to examine the influence of authoritarian parenting on identity crises among high school students. This study employs a quantitative approach using a simple linear regression design. The study participants consisted of 36 students aged 16–17 years, all 11th-grade students, selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25. The results indicate that authoritarian parenting has a positive and significant effect on identity crisis, accounting for 71.6% of the variance. These results indicate that the higher the level of authoritarian parenting, the higher the tendency for students to experience an identity crisis. These findings underscore the importance of evaluating parental parenting styles to minimize the risk of psychosocial developmental barriers and to support the formation of a more mature adolescent identity within the school environment.

This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected from students through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Data analysis will use the multiple linear regression method. The sample of this study was 103 students of Sriwijaya State Polytechnic Bukit class. This research method used regression. Social media, anxiety, and learning comprehension were measured and collected using a questionnaire with a Lickert scale. Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results and conclusions show that social media and anxiety have an influence on student learning comprehension. The regression analysis found that social media contributed to learning comprehension (β = 0.159, p < 0.05) and anxiety also contributed to learning comprehension (β = 0.213, p < 0.05). The findings of this study are expected to provide students with insight into using social media more wisely.

Abstract

The rapid growth of social media has transformed the way adolescents build social relationships and seek recognition through various forms of digital social validation, such as likes, comments, and followers. This phenomenon has the potential to influence adolescents' social and psychological behavior, thereby requiring greater attention within Guidance and Counseling services. This study aimed to explore adolescents' digital social validation behavior and identify its implications for the development of creative counseling. A descriptive-exploratory research design was employed involving 125 adolescents aged 18–23 years who actively use social media. The research instrument consisted of a Digital Social Validation Behavior Questionnaire developed using a five-point Likert scale and open-ended questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, while responses to the open-ended questions were examined through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the attention to digital feedback indicator demonstrated the highest tendency (mean = 3.56–4.42), whereas the remaining indicators were categorized as moderate to high. The thematic analysis further indicated that adolescents primarily use social media for communication, entertainment, and self-expression. In addition, respondents preferred experience-based counseling activities, particularly nature-based activities (56.5%), storytelling (43.5%), and music-based activities (42.4%). The study concludes that Guidance and Counseling services should adopt more contextual, participatory, and developmentally appropriate creative counseling approaches that align with the characteristics of adolescents in the digital era. The findings are expected to serve as an empirical foundation for guidance and counseling teachers and professional counselors in designing creative counseling services that are more responsive to the dynamics of adolescents' digital behavior.

Abstract

This study examined the contribution of social support to emotion regulation among deaf adults in Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The participants consisted of 122 deaf adults aged between 18 and 60 years who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Social Support Scale and the Emotion Regulation Scale, which had demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression to determine the contribution of social support to emotion regulation. The findings revealed a significant positive contribution of social support to emotion regulation, indicated by a significance value of 0.004 (p < .05) and an R² value of 0.066. These results suggest that social support accounted for 6.6% of the variance in emotion regulation, while the remaining 93.4% was explained by other factors beyond the scope of this study. The findings indicate that deaf adults who receive greater social support tend to demonstrate better emotion regulation. This study highlights the importance of strengthening social support from families, peers, and communities while encouraging further research to identify other psychological and environmental factors that contribute to emotion regulation among deaf adults.

Abstract

Anxiety about entering the workforce is one of the psychological problems commonly experienced by final-year university students as they transition from academic life to the professional world. One of the psychological factors presumed to be associated with this condition is the quarter-life crisis. This study aimed to empirically examine the relationship between quarter-life crisis and anxiety about entering the workforce among final-year students. The hypothesis proposed that there is a positive relationship between quarter-life crisis and anxiety about entering the workforce. This study employed a quantitative correlational research design. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique and consisted of 160 final-year students. The research instruments included the Quarter-Life Crisis Scale and the Workforce Entry Anxiety Scale, both of which met the validity and reliability requirements. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation technique with the assistance of Jamovi software. The results revealed a significant and very strong positive relationship between quarter-life crisis and anxiety about entering the workforce (r = 0.932, p < 0.001). Therefore, the proposed hypothesis was accepted. These findings indicate that the higher the level of quarter-life crisis experienced by students, the higher their anxiety about entering the workforce, and vice versa. The findings are expected to serve as a basis for universities in developing career guidance and psychological support programs to assist students in preparing for the transition into the workforce.
