Abstract

This study was conducted due to the limited existing research on the impact of floods on out-of-state students at Indonesian universities, particularly regarding social disruptions, academic disruptions, changes in learning patterns, and post-disaster psychological conditions. The study aims to analyze the experiences of out-of-town students affected by the flood at IAIN Langsa. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with ten out-of-town students directly affected by the flood in February 2026. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify the main themes of the respondents’ experiences. The results indicate that the flood caused academic issues such as exam postponements, difficulties in accessing academic guidance, and uncertainty regarding graduation. Students also experienced changes in learning patterns due to limited access to learning infrastructure and disrupted communication with family, which triggered social isolation and anxiety. Psychological impacts such as stress, trauma, and excessive anxiety were also identified as long-term effects. This study concludes that more responsive campus policies are needed through continuous psychosocial support, academic flexibility, and improved access to online learning to aid the recovery of students living away from home following a disaster.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the discipline of early childhood children, the pattern of Islamic guidance through the habituation of religious values, and the obstacles and challenges encountered in fostering disciplined character among children at PAUD Satahi, Sipogu Village. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research informants consisted of one teacher and two parents of students, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the children's level of discipline had developed quite well, as indicated by their compliance with school rules, punctuality, responsibility in completing assigned tasks, and active participation in religious activities. The pattern of Islamic guidance was implemented through the habituation of praying before and after activities, greeting others with Islamic salutations, practicing politeness and good manners, participating in religious activities, teacher role modeling, providing advice, positive reinforcement, and fostering collaboration between the school and parents. The obstacles encountered included differences in children's characteristics and developmental levels, a lack of consistency in reinforcing religious habits within the family environment, the influence of the social environment and digital media, and limited time for character education at school. This study concludes that Islamic guidance through the habituation of religious values is an effective strategy for developing disciplined character in early childhood, as it integrates religious values, responsibility, and obedience to rules into children's daily lives.

Abstract

This study aims to develop domino media as a tool in group guidance services to provide an understanding of social skills among students at SMP IT Al-Hijrah. Problems related to students’ social skills are still frequently found, such as a lack of cooperation, low empathy toward peers, and difficulties in expressing opinions. Therefore, attractive and interactive media are needed to help students understand social skills more optimally. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The subjects of this study were students of SMP IT Al-Hijrah. The results of the study indicate that the domino media has a high level of feasibility, with material expert validation reaching 85% (feasible category) and media expert validation reaching 85.8% (very feasible category). A trial involving 20 students showed that the domino media was able to support students’ understanding of social skills, as indicated by better participation, improved communication skills, enhanced cooperation, and a deeper understanding of social skills. Student and teacher responses reached 90% (very good category). Thus, the domino media is considered feasible and provides optimal outcomes in guidance and counseling services to support students’ understanding of social skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between peer conformity and prosocial behavior based on gender among senior high school students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The study population comprised all students at SMA Negeri 2 Lubuk Basung, and the sample was selected through proportional random sampling. The research instruments were Likert-scale questionnaires measuring peer conformity and students’ prosocial behavior. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product-Moment correlation, and an independent-samples t-test. The results revealed a positive and significant relationship between peer conformity and students’ prosocial behavior. Students who showed higher positive conformity toward their peer groups tended to demonstrate higher prosocial behavior, such as helping, sharing, cooperating, and showing concern for others. In addition, differences in prosocial behavior were found by gender, with female students showing higher levels than male students. These findings indicate that peer influence plays an important role in shaping adolescents’ social behavior in the school environment. This study contributes to the field of guidance and counseling, particularly in developing social guidance services to enhance students’ prosocial behavior through positive peer influence. Future studies are recommended to examine other factors influencing prosocial behavior, such as parenting style, empathy, and social media use.

Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by various biological, emotional, social, and cognitive changes. The ability to manage emotions and self-compassion are factors that can support adolescent psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the relationship of cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and self-compassion with the psychological well-being of junior high school students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 123 junior high school students selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that cognitive reappraisal and self-compassion were positively and significantly associated with psychological well-being, whereas expressive suppression was negatively and significantly associated with psychological well-being. Furthermore, these three variables simultaneously contributed significantly to the psychological well-being of junior high school students. These findings suggest that adaptive emotion regulation and self-compassion play important roles in enhancing adolescents’ psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the career self-efficacy of tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 9 Padang. Career self-efficacy refers to students’ beliefs in their ability to understand themselves, explore career opportunities, make career decisions, develop plans, and solve problems related to their future careers. The study employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 462 students from the Culinary and Hospitality programs as the population. A sample of 214 students was selected through simple random sampling using Slovin’s formula with a 5% margin of error. Data were collected using a career self-efficacy scale consisting of five dimensions: self-appraisal, gathering occupational information, goal selection, planning, and problem solving. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability, resulting in 22 valid items. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and percentages. The results showed that overall career self-efficacy was predominantly in the high category, with 62% of students demonstrating strong confidence in managing career-related tasks. Similar findings were observed across all dimensions, namely self-appraisal (47%), gathering occupational information (44%), goal selection (52%), planning (47%), and problem solving (52%). These results indicate that most students possess a high level of confidence in their career development and decision-making processes.

Abstract

Anxiety is a vague feeling of fear or apprehension, and it is a response to external or internal stimuli that can manifest as behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms (Swarjana, 2021). This study aims to analyze the effect of toxic relationships and overthinking in romantic relationships on anxiety disorders among tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Kudus. This research used a quantitative approach with the multiple linear regression method. The study population was 385 students from 11 classes, and a sample of 196 students was drawn using cluster sampling based on the Slovin formula. The instrument was a Likert scale questionnaire validated with 34 valid items out of 35 tested on 36 respondents. Cronbach's Alpha values were 0.867 (toxic relationship), 0.827 (overthinking), and 0.865 (anxiety disorder). Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test yielded Asymp.Sig. 0.200 > 0.05. The multicollinearity test showed Tolerance 0.902 and VIF 1.108. Glejser heteroscedasticity test showed sig. values of 0.145 and 0.548 for both variables. Partial t-test results: (1) toxic relationship significantly affects anxiety disorder (t = 2.035, sig. = 0.043); (2) overthinking significantly affects anxiety disorder (t = 6.386, sig. = 0.000). The F-test showed F = 29.401, sig. = 0.000. The coefficient of determination R² = 0.234, indicating 23.4% of anxiety disorder variance is explained by both predictors.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the psychological flexibility profiles of students at MA Hidayatul Mubtadiin. The study employed a quantitative approach using descriptive methods and involved 81 11th-grade students.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of group guidance using cinema therapy to reduce academic procrastination at SMA Negeri 1 Kendal. This quantitative pre-experimental research utilized Likert-scale questionnaires. Out of 426 students (population). 62% scored low, while 27% required attention. A sample of 7 students underwent four cinema therapy sessions. Results showed total procrastination scores decreased from 65% (pre-test) to 48% (post-test), a 17% reduction, with task initiation dropping most significantly by 31%. Since Shapiro-Wilk normality tests indicated a non-normal data distribution (p=0.008), the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was applied. It revealed a significant difference (Z=-2.371, p=0.018<0.05), rejecting H0. The intervention successfully fostered behavioral changes, dismantling ego defense mechanisms through self-projection and emotional catharsis. In conclusion, group guidance using cinema therapy is effective in reducing academic procrastination among students at SMA Negeri 1 Kendal.

Abstract

Social interactions have the potential to cause differences or conflicts that give rise to interpersonal conflicts, including in the school environment. Conflict resolution is an important social skill for students to be able to manage differences constructively and maintain harmonious interpersonal relationships. One factor suspected to play a role in an individual's ability to resolve conflicts is emotional intelligence. This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional intelligence on conflict resolution skills in grade X students of SMA Negeri 1 Mranggen, Demak Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The research sample consisted of 188 students, selected through a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire compiled based on aspects of emotional intelligence according to Goleman (1995) and conflict resolution skills according to Bodine and Crawford (1996). Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 21. The results showed that students' emotional intelligence was in the good category with an average of 73.58%, while their conflict resolution skills were also in the good category with an average of 70.51%.  The results of the simple linear regression test also show that emotional intelligence does not have a significant effect on the ability to resolve conflicts, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 1.4%, so that other factors outside the research influence 98.6% of the variation in the ability to resolve conflicts.
