Abstract

Academic motivation is important to students' success, yet many undergraduates have issues maintaining high levels of motivation throughout their studies. This study addressed the gap in research on effective interventions for enhancing academic motivation among undergraduate students in Oyo State, Nigeria. It investigated the effects of resilience skill training (RST) and goal-setting training (GST) with gender and academic self-efficacy as moderating variables. Using a quasi-experimental design with a 3x2x3 factorial structure, the research involved 59 university freshmen selected through multi-stage sampling. Two experimental groups (RST and GST) were compared with a control group, grounded in self-determination and social control theories. Validated instruments included the Academic Motivation Scale and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Results demonstrated significant effects of interventions on academic motivation (F(2, 45) = 7.098, p = 0.002) and academic self-efficacy (F(2, 45) = 4.557, p = 0.016), while gender was not found to yield a significant effect (F(1, 45) = 1.206, p = 0.278). A significant two-way interaction emerged between intervention and academic self-efficacy (F(2, 45) = 3.837, p = 0.029). The study concludes that both RST and GST effectively enhance academic motivation among undergraduates. Key recommendations include integrating these interventions into university curricula and providing tailored interventions based on students' self-efficacy levels.

Abstract

Despite the growing attention to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), limited research has explored the lived experiences and resilience of sibling caregivers. This qualitative study explored how Filipino college students with siblings diagnosed with ASD navigate academic, emotional, and familial responsibilities while managing caregiving challenges. Seven participants were purposively selected and engaged in semi-structured interviews using a phenomenological approach to capture their lived experiences and resilience. Findings revealed that resilience is fostered through spirituality, family beliefs, adaptive roles, and emotional communication. Participants reframed their caregiving experiences into meaning-making that shaped personal growth and career goals, and their empathy with others who share similar experiences. Despite enduring emotional burdens and having to make academic sacrifices, they demonstrated emotional maturity, role flexibility, and coping strategies rooted in family connectedness. These insights highlight the complex interplay between caregiving and student development. The study underscores the need for culturally sensitive, family-centered programs that support the mental health and academic struggles of sibling caregivers striving to balance their educational and caregiving duties.

Abstract

Previous studies have mainly emphasized the negative impacts of social media and focused on affective and social mechanisms, while cognitive mechanisms like information gratification remain underexplored. This study examined the role of information gratification as a mediator between Instagram use and online subjective well-being among early adult college students. Using a survey design, data were collected from 142 college students aged 18–25 years through the Instagram Use Scale, Information Satisfaction Scale, and Online Subjective Well-being Scale, and analyzed using mediation analysis in JASP. Results showed that Instagram use positively affects online subjective well-being (β = 0.248, p = 0.002) and information gratification (β = 0.594, p < 0.001). Information gratification was also found to positively affect online subjective well-being (β = 0.431, p < 0.001) and partially mediates the relationship between Instagram use and online subjective well-being (β = 0.256, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the importance of cognitive mechanisms in understanding the psychological benefits of Instagram use.

Abstract

The epistemological gap between indigenous spiritual guidance and transpersonal counseling leaves the construct of barakah uncharted in pesantren pedagogy. This creates a twofold conceptual-empirical gap that isolates local practices from global discourse, necessitating a theoretical bridge to frame barakah as a legitimate orientation for psycho-spiritual growth. This study explores barakah as the ultimate aim of transpersonal maturation in pesantren. Utilizing focused ethnography with 15 participants (Kiai, Nyai, alumni, and students), the study finds that barakah manifests as Transcendental Actualization. This process operates through a relational psycho-spiritual anchor (sanad) and teacher-student inner resonance that regulates internal energy. Barakah functions as a corrective force fostering inner watchfulness (muraqabah) and a surplus of meaning (ziyadatul khair) within a communal ecology of mercy. It catalyzes a transition toward theocentric agency through trust (tawakkul) and integrated patience-gratitude. This research contributes an indigenous Islamic transpersonal counseling framework, emphasizing the counselor's role as Murabbi for holistic well-being.

Abstract

Recent discussions on counselor development in Indonesia have highlighted the importance of cultural foundations in professional identity formation. However, systematic studies examining local wisdom, particularly the values embodied by Semar, remain limited. This study aimed to explore how Semar’s philosophical values can be internalized in counselors’ self-development and contribute to strengthening guidance and counseling (GC) services. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) with the PRISMA framework, this study analyzed articles obtained from Scopus, Publish or Perish, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. Of the 84 identified articles, thirteen met the inclusion criteria based on relevance and quality. The findings indicate that Semar’s values—such as wisdom, empathy, sincerity, humility, emotion regulation, and dedication—provide a meaningful foundation for counselor character development. Integrating these values into counselor education and practice may enhance ethical awareness, cultural sensitivity, and humanistic counseling services, contributing to more holistic and culturally grounded counselor development models.

Abstract

Interpersonal dependency is a common clinical concern among emerging adult women and is linked to impaired autonomy and relational distress, yet evidence-based interventions in university counseling settings remain limited. This study examined the clinical utility of a brief cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targeting dependency-related cognitions and autonomy skills among female undergraduates with dependent personality features. Three students (ages 20–21) recruited from a university counseling service were screened using the dependent personality subscale of the PDQ-4+. A one-group pretest–posttest design with follow-up was employed. Interpersonal dependency was assessed using the Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (IDI) at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up, supplemented by qualitative clinical evaluation. Participants showed clinically meaningful and sustained reductions in IDI scores, alongside improvements in boundary setting, independent decision making, and emotion regulation. Findings suggest that brief CBT-based interventions may be feasibly integrated into regular university counseling services, while highlighting the need for larger controlled studies.
