Abstract

This study aims to describe the results of applying non-cognitive diagnostics to listening skills in class VII.2 students at SMP Negeri 22 Palembang. This research method used descriptive quantitative with data collection techniques in the form of a questionnaire containing 35 questions distributed to a sample of 28 students. In this study, it was found that 46% of students had the medium category in listening skills. Apart from that, the diagnostic results of listening skills showed a mean of 96.18 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10.26. A standard deviation that was smaller than the mean indicated that the distribution of the data variable is small or that there is no large enough gap between the lowest (25%) and highest (29%) ratios.

Abstract

This study explores the connection between verbal aggression and digital addiction, particularly among adolescents who engage with social media. Its significance lies in the growing prevalence of digital interactions that can provoke aggressive behaviors. By utilizing a literature review approach, the research analyzes 25 articles published between 2015 and 2024, indicating that verbal aggression can adversely affect mental health, leading to issues such as depression and diminished academic performance. The results underscore the necessity for increased awareness and comprehension of how social media influences adolescent behavior, along with the critical need for interventions aimed at alleviating these negative impacts.

Abstract

The research is titled “The Application of Individual Counseling with the De-reflection Technique to Reduce Death Anxiety in the Elderly at Harapan Kita Nursing Home, Palembang.” This study aims to help the elderly reduce the anxiety experienced by three clients. Before the implementation of individual counseling with the de-reflection technique, the clients experienced excessive anxiety about death, as seen in their physical and psychological conditions. After the counseling sessions, the clients were better able to accept their situation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study were elderly individuals experiencing death anxiety at the Harapan Kita Nursing Home in Palembang. The results of the study showed that before receiving individual counseling, the clients tended to be quiet and had difficulty interacting with other elderly individuals. The individual counseling sessions using the de-reflection technique were conducted in four meetings, consisting of four stages: the initial stage, the middle stage (working stage), and the final stage. After the application of the de-reflection technique, the clients showed significant changes — they were able to accept the concept of death more calmly, no longer experienced excessive anxiety about death, and were able to socialize with fellow elderly individuals.

Abstract

This study examines the correlation between empathy and bullying behavior among students at SMP Ma’arif 1 Metro. Bullying in school environments has become an increasing concern due to its negative impact on students’ psychological well-being. Previous studies suggest that empathy plays a crucial role in shaping social behavior; however, empirical findings regarding its relationship with bullying remain inconsistent. Employing a quantitative approach, this study involved a population of 321 students, with a sample of 178 students selected for analysis. Data were collected using validated instruments, including a 10-item empathy scale and a 15-item bullying behavior scale. Due to non-normal data distribution (p = 0.019), the analysis was conducted using Spearman's rank correlation. The findings reveal that both empathy and bullying behavior are at a moderate level, and there is a significant but weak positive correlation between the two variables (rₛ = 0.268, p < 0.05). This result indicates a complex relationship between empathy and bullying behavior, suggesting that other psychological or social factors may influence this association. These findings highlight the importance of considering multiple factors in developing interventions to reduce bullying, rather than focusing solely on enhancing empathy

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between artificial intelligence literacy (AI literacy) and junior high school students’ digital self-disclosure in the era of artificial intelligence. The increasing phenomenon of students’ emotional interactions with AI-based systems such as ChatGPT indicates that technology is no longer merely a learning tool, but also a space for self-expression. Employing an explanatory quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, this study involved 243 students who are accustomed to interacting with AI applications in both academic and personal contexts. The conceptual model was developed through the integration of the AI literacy framework proposed by Wang, Rau, and Yuan (2022), comprising awareness, usage, evaluation, and ethics, and the digital self-disclosure framework by Merwin et al. (2025), which includes personal sharing, comfort, trust, and preference for AI. The findings reveal that eight out of fourteen hypothesized relationships are statistically significant. The dimensions of AI awareness and usage positively influence students’ comfort and trust in AI, while the ethical dimension functions as a regulatory factor that restrains excessive self-disclosure. Emotional factors, particularly feelings of comfort and trust, are found to serve as the primary bridge between students’ cognitive abilities and their digital behavior. These findings highlight that AI literacy not only reflects technological competence but also encompasses ethical and emotional awareness in human–AI interactions. This study recommends that AI literacy education in secondary schools should not be limited to technical proficiency, but should also emphasize the development of empathetic, reflective, and responsible digital character in an increasingly digitalized world.

Abstract

Persistent constraints in idea generation continue to characterize narrative writing among sixth-grade elementary students, whose cognitive development remains closely tied to concrete and experiential stimuli. The integration of stand-up comedy content from YouTube into a synectics-based learning framework emerges as a pedagogical alternative that bridges affective engagement and cognitive activation. The underlying assumption positions humor-driven narratives and analogical thinking as complementary mechanisms for stimulating creative expression in writing. A qualitative descriptive-exploratory approach was employed, centering on in-depth semi-structured interviews with primary school teachers. The analytical process followed a thematic orientation, capturing how teachers interpret the relevance, feasibility, and pedagogical implications of the proposed model within classroom practice. The findings reveal a consistent recognition of contextual relevance and motivational value, particularly in facilitating idea generation through relatable and humorous narratives. At the same time, concerns regarding classroom control, content appropriateness, and instructional alignment indicate that implementation is neither automatic nor neutral. The significance of these findings lies in repositioning instructional innovation as a teacher-mediated process, in which effectiveness depends less on the model itself than on the pedagogical judgment that shapes its adaptation and enactment.

Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial phase in identity formation that requires optimal psychological well-being. Career decision-making is one of the key factors influencing this condition. This study aims to examine the effect of career decision-making on adolescents' psychological well-being and to investigate the role of parental involvement as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach with correlational design and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) was employed. Participants were 118 twelfth-grade students at MA Darul A'mal, Metro City, selected through purposive sampling. Instruments included the career decision scale, parental involvement scale, and psychological well-being scale. Results showed that: (1) career decision-making had a significant positive effect on psychological well-being (B = 0.524; sig. = 0.000); (2) parental involvement significantly moderated the relationship between career decision-making and psychological well-being (B interaction = 1.822; sig. = 0.009); (3) simultaneously, the variables explained 53.7% of the variance in psychological well-being. These findings imply the importance of career guidance programs that integrate parental involvement to enhance adolescent psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study explores how da’wah can be positioned as an Islamic counseling approach within social media environments. The growing use of digital platforms has not only changed communication patterns but also intensified psychological and emotional challenges such as anxiety, stress, and identity confusion. These conditions call for counseling approaches that are both accessible and spiritually grounded. This study employs a qualitative descriptive design using a library research method, drawing on recent scholarly works related to da’wah, Islamic counseling, and digital media. The findings show that integrating da’wah into counseling practices supports the development of self-awareness (muhasabah), encourages personal transformation (hijrah), and strengthens spiritual resilience (taqwa). In this context, social media functions not merely as a communication tool but as a space for ongoing guidance and interaction. This study suggests that da’wah can play a more integrative role as a counseling approach in addressing contemporary psychological and spiritual needs in the digital era.
