Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed the way we communicate, making interactions no longer dependent on face-to-face meetings. This change has given rise to the concept of cyber empathy, which is the ability to understand, feel, and show empathy in interactions conducted in the digital world. The purpose of this article is to examine the concept of empathy in psychology and map how empathy manifests in virtual communication. By applying a literature review method covering journals, books, and scientific publications from 2018 to 2024, this study identifies four main dimensions of cyber empathy: cognitive empathy, affective empathy, empathic responsiveness, and adjustment to digital media culture. The results show that empathy can develop optimally in online communication if individuals are able to interpret emotional contexts through writing, symbols, or interaction patterns, and possess good digital literacy and emotional intelligence skills. However, several challenges can hinder the quality of empathy, such as a lack of nonverbal signals, anonymity, conflicts arising from text, and digital fatigue. These findings confirm that cyber empathy is a crucial aspect for creating more humane, ethical, and supportive digital interactions. Increasing digital empathy is crucial for maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships and reducing the likelihood of miscommunication in the era of virtual communication.

Abstract

Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan mendorong mahasiswa memanfaatkan AI chatbots sebagai ruang aman untuk mengekspresikan perasaan dan memperoleh dukungan emosional. Namun, pengalaman subjektif mahasiswa dalam berinteraksi dengan chatbot masih belum banyak dieksplorasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggambarkan pengalaman mahasiswa dalam menerima dukungan emosional melalui AI chatbots serta mengidentifikasi bentuk manfaat dan keterbatasannya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan tiga informan yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik Creswell & Creswell (2023). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa AI chatbots berperan sebagai ruang aman bagi mahasiswa untuk bercerita tanpa rasa takut dihakimi, memberikan validasi emosional, serta membantu menenangkan pikiran melalui respons yang stabil. Mahasiswa memaknai chatbot sebagai “teman bicara netral” yang mampu memberikan simulated empathy. Meskipun demikian, keterbatasan muncul pada respons yang bersifat generik, kekhawatiran terhadap potensi ketergantungan, dan ketidakmampuan chatbot menggantikan kehadiran emosional manusia. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa AI chatbots dapat menjadi alternatif dukungan emosional, namun penggunaannya perlu disertai batasan agar tidak mengurangi kualitas interaksi sosial manusia.

Abstract

Health anxiety has emerged as a major psychological concern in contemporary society due to increased exposure to online medical information, heightened awareness of diseases, and rapid dissemination of health-related content through digital media. Existing measures assessing health anxiety are predominantly developed within Western cultural contexts and may inadequately capture culturally specific illness beliefs and health-related behaviors observed among Indian adults. The present study aimed to develop and validate the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI), a culturally grounded multidimensional instrument designed to assess health anxiety among adults. The scale was developed based on cognitive-behavioral and socio-cultural theoretical frameworks. An initial pool of 30 items across six dimensions was generated through literature review, expert consultation, and analysis of socio-cultural health beliefs. The dimensions included Anticipatory Health Worry, Bodily Sensation Monitoring, Catastrophic Interpretation, Reassurance Seeking and Healthcare Utilisation, Functional Impairment and Avoidance, and Socio-Cultural Health Beliefs. The inventory was administered to 183 college students selected through convenience sampling. Reliability analysis revealed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .912). Item-total correlations ranged from .32 to .68, indicating satisfactory construct representation. Expert evaluations supported content validity, while theoretical coherence and statistical findings supported construct validity. The findings suggest that the HAI is a reliable and culturally relevant instrument suitable for assessing health anxiety among adults. The inventory may be useful in psychological assessment, counseling interventions, public mental health screening, and behavioral medicine research.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kualitas persahabatan terhadap kesepian pada dewasa awal di. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 300 dewasa awal di Kota Bekasi berusia 18-25 tahun yang memiliki sahabat dan dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan skala kualitas persahabatan dan skala kesepian. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas persahabatan berpengaruh negatif secara signifikan terhadap kesepian pada dewasa awal dengan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 (p < 0,05). Nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar r = -0,204 menunjukkan hubungan negatif dengan kekuatan lemah, sedangkan nilai koefisien determinasi (R Square) sebesar 0,042 menunjukkan bahwa kualitas persahabatan memberikan kontribusi sebesar 4,2% terhadap kesepian. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kualitas persahabatan, maka semakin rendah tingkat kesepian yang dirasakan. Namun, kesepian tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh kualitas persahabatan, tetapi juga oleh faktor lain seperti self-esteem, penyesuaian diri, kepercayaan diri, dan dukungan sosial.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan mindfulness terhadap fokus mahasiswa. Pelatihan mindfulness diberikan kepada kelompok eksperimen secara tatap muka (offline) menggunakan pendekatan experiential learning yang menekankan pembelajaran melalui pengalaman langsung dan dengan desain Two Group Posttest Only. Kegiatan pelatihan meliputi penyampaian materi mindfulness, latihan teknik grounding 5-4-3-2-1, latihan perhatian terarah, diskusi kelompok, studi kasus, serta refleksi pengalaman. Penelitian melibatkan 26 peserta pada kelompok eksperimen dan 23 peserta pada kelompok kontrol. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan Independent Sample t-test. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor posttest kelompok eksperimen sebesar 60,42, sedangkan kelompok kontrol sebesar 59,39. Namun, hasil uji Independent Sample t-test menunjukkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,789 (p > 0,05), sehingga tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Dengan demikian, pelatihan mindfulness belum memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap fokus mahasiswa. Meskipun demikian, kelompok eksperimen menunjukkan rata-rata skor yang sedikit lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok kontrol sehingga pelatihan mindfulness masih memiliki potensi dalam mendukung peningkatan fokus mahasiswa.

Abstract

The present study examined the association between socio-demographic factors, depression, and sleep quality among working women in higher education institutions. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, and data were collected from 300 female faculty members using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine relationships between socio-demographic variables and mental health outcomes. Chi-square analyses revealed that educational qualification and type of appointment were significantly associated with levels of depression, while sleep quality was significantly associated with age, educational qualification, designation, teaching experience, type of appointment, marital status, and socio-economic status. Multiple regression analysis indicated that educational qualification and socio-economic status significantly predicted depression, accounting for a modest proportion of variance. In contrast, the regression model predicting sleep quality was statistically significant, explaining over half of the variance, with educational qualification, type of appointment, marital status, and socio-economic status emerging as significant predictors. The findings highlight the differential impact of socio- demographic and occupational factors on depression and sleep quality among working women. Interventions focusing on employment stability, workload management, and psychosocial support may be critical in promoting mental health and sleep well-being in academic work settings.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the social, emotional, and academic lives of adolescents. While digital platforms provide opportunities for communication, learning, and creativity, excessive and unregulated use has been associated with rising mental health concerns among young people. In India, increasing smartphone penetration and social media engagement have intensified concerns regarding digital addiction, cyberbullying, sleep disruption, and social comparison anxiety among students (NIMHANS, 2025). These developments have prompted policymakers to explore regulatory frameworks aimed at promoting responsible digital use. The Karnataka Draft Policy 2026 for Responsible Digital Use Among Students represents one of the first structured attempts in India to address the intersection between youth mental health and digital behavior. The policy emphasizes awareness, monitoring, and institutional responsibility. However, the practical implementation of such policies raises critical questions regarding institutional readiness, resource availability, ethical governance, and stakeholder accountability. Without clear operational mechanisms and financial support, policy interventions risk remaining symbolic rather than transformative (OECD, 2021). This paper critically evaluates the effectiveness of emerging digital governance frameworks in protecting youth mental health while preserving digital autonomy. Using the Karnataka Draft Policy as a case study, the paper examines implementation gaps, ethical concerns, and institutional challenges. It further proposes a structured digital guardianship model that emphasizes preventive education, protective systems, and regulatory oversight. The study concludes that sustainable digital governance requires collaboration among schools, parents, technology companies, and government agencies, supported by evidence-based monitoring and continuous policy evaluation.
