Abstract

While various theories provide valuable insights into adolescent behavior, they do not fully account for the complex interplay between family dynamics and religious affiliations as a dual system influencing it. This study investigated the influence of religious affiliations and family dynamics in reducing substance abuse among adolescents aged 15-25 years. Using an ex post facto research design, a sample of 400 adolescents was drawn through purposive sampling. Standardized scales were employed to measure religious engagement, family dynamics, and substance abuse behaviors. Data were analyzed using linear regression for the first two hypotheses and multiple regression for the third hypothesis. The results showed that family dynamics significantly predict substance abuse reduction among adolescents (R = 0.464, R² = 0.216, F(1, 398) = 109.151, p < 0.001). Additionally, religious affiliations were found to significantly contribute to substance abuse reduction (R = 0.544, R² = 0.296, F(1, 398) = 167.482, p < 0.001). When combined, family dynamics and religious affiliations also significantly predict substance abuse reduction (R = 0.593, R² = 0.352, F(2, 397) = 107.246, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that religious organizations should actively engage adolescents in activities that promote healthy lifestyles and encourage health-seeking behaviors when addiction is identified. Also, communities should encourage adolescents to participate in youth religious groups, which offer peer support and mentorship grounded in faith-based principles.

Abstract

From the perspective of counseling psychology, counseling is important in the overall development of school children. Thus, it should be provided to all learners. However, this is not the current reality in Tanzanian primary schools. This study explored the provision of counseling services and strategies applied by the teacher-counselors in selected primary schools in Tanzania. Data were collected through interviews with five teacher counselors across five schools. The findings showed that counseling services offered predominantly were individual, developmental, academic, and group counseling. The counseling services targeted personal pupils’ problems, such as nervousness, low achievements, and social-related problems. Mainly, four strategies were used in the study area: self-disclosure, summarizing and reframing, constructive confrontation, and person-centered strategy. As such, counseling services should be integrated into the overall school development plan, and teachers should effectively utilize demonstrated strategies to positively impact pupils' general development.

Abstract

There is a lack of academic research that presents effective frameworks for addressing the harm of intimate partner violence (IPV) on children. This study investigated the negative effects of IPV on children who witness IPV incidents and assessed the proper interventions in mitigating these outcomes. This was a qualitative study using purposive sampling of IPV victims abused in the children’s presence. These victims underwent counseling at the Bapong Crisis Center in Bapong village, South Africa. Semi-structured interviews were held, and data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. IPV-exposed children risk anxiety, aggression, attachment issues, and academic and relationship struggles. There should be effective interventions that include trauma-informed care, caregiver support programs, and community awareness campaigns to reduce symptom severity. A coordinated strategy integrating professional training, policy reform, and child-centered psychosocial support is needed to break IPV cycles. Future research should prioritize culturally adaptive interventions and longitudinal tracking.

Abstract

In Nigeria, the continuous exodus of health workers, known as ’Japa’, and the intention of many to leave their current jobs is worrisome and needs urgent attention. This study investigated the role of psychological contract breach on turnover intention. The study also further examined the mediating role of organizational climate in the relationship between psychological contract breach and turnover intention among health workers. The study adopted a cross-sectional study with a total of 146 health workers aged 20-59 years (male=29.5%, female=70.5%; M age=34.80). The study found that psychological contract breach has a positive correlation with turnover intention, but the correlation is negative with organizational climate. Organizational climate was also found to have a negative relationship with turnover intention, while organizational climate partially mediates the positive relationship between psychological contract breach and turnover intention. The study concluded that psychological contract breach fuels turnover intention, while organizational climate serves as a buffer between psychological contract breach and turnover intention. Therefore, efforts promoting a favorable organizational culture can help improve and sustain employees' psychological agreements, which may help reduce turnover intention among health workers.

Abstract

Altruism in society can reduce the problems caused by the decline of moral and humanistic values. To develop altruistic behavior, it is necessary to determine the personality traits and problem-solving ability that are likely to be associated with it. The aim of the study was to examine the role of personality traits and problem-solving strategies on altruism. A total of 454 university students (309 women and 145 men), chosen through a random selection method, participated in the research. The following scales were used for the study: Altruism Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory-Extroversion Scale, and Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Short Form. No gender difference was found in altruism. Extroverts scored significantly higher than introverts on altruism and its subscales. According to the correlation analysis, there was a moderate positive relationship between altruism, extroversion, and social problem-solving skills. The regression analysis concluded that extroversion and social problem-solving skills explain 20% of the total variance in altruism. Extroversion and social problem-solving skills were found to significantly predict altruism. Future research should consider investigating possible moderating and mediating variables in the relationship between social problem-solving and altruism.

Abstract

There is a lack of understanding of how trait emotional intelligence (EI) impacts contextual performance and the mediating processes involved, especially in challenging contexts. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to address the under-researched relationship between trait EI and contextual performance, specifically exploring the sequential mediating roles of political skill and self-efficacy among teacher leaders in the challenging context of Northeast Nigeria. This study linked personality traits to teacher leader performance, mediated by EI, political skill, and self-efficacy, within the framework self-determination theory. Self-report data were collected from 292 teacher leaders (x̅ age = 45.08 6.87; x̅tenure = 15.50 7.21) in Nigerian polytechnics and analyzed using PLS-SEM in SmartPLS. The results showed a significant direct effect of trait EI on contextual performance, and a partial mediation of perceived self-efficacy in the relationship. Interestingly, while political skill correlates positively with both trait EI and contextual performance, it did not exhibit a significant mediating effect. However, the analysis revealed a significant overall sequential mediation effect involving both political skill and perceived self-efficacy, explaining 60.4% of the variance in contextual performance. Thus, the researchers recommend incorporating political skill and perceived self-efficacy in staff selection and assessment processes.

Abstract

In Pakistan, parents’ mental health is a crucial and under-researched topic, especially for parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) like intellectual disabilities (ID), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between these variables and psychological distress in parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders, compare the scores of mothers and fathers, and ascertain whether locus of control and emotional exhaustion can predict psychological distress. The study used validated tools, namely the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Parental Locus of Control Scale, and Parental Stress Scale, to measure these variables in a sample of 180 parents (90 mothers and 90 fathers) selected from Sehat Medical Complex in Lahore. The results showed that psychological distress, locus of control, and emotional exhaustion are significantly correlated. While fathers showed a stronger internal locus of control, mothers reported higher levels of psychological distress and emotional exhaustion. Psychological distress is positively predicted by emotional exhaustion and negatively predicted by locus of control, according to regression analysis. The study discussed focused interventions to reduce parental stress and enhance coping strategies, as well as the gendered aspects of caregiving responsibilities. This study also offers insights into strategies for improving parental well-being and reducing detrimental effects on child development.
