Abstract

This study investigates the critical role of cross-cultural perspectives in understanding intimacy and communication within marriage. As societies become increasingly diverse, traditional marriage counseling approaches often overlook the unique needs and experiences of couples from varied cultural backgrounds. This article aims to explore how cultural values, norms, and communication styles shape the experiences of intimacy and influence relationship dynamics among married individuals. The research highlights that intimacy is not merely a personal experience but is heavily influenced by cultural context, which dictates how affection, emotional support, and conflict resolution are perceived and expressed. By analyzing various counseling models, including those that are culturally informed, this study emphasizes the need for adaptability in therapeutic practices. It also discusses the potential barriers that culturally diverse couples face in counseling settings, such as misinterpretation of behaviors and expectations rooted in differing cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the article provides practical recommendations for marriage counselors to create more inclusive and effective interventions. This includes the necessity of integrating cultural competence training into counselor education programs and developing tailored counseling strategies that acknowledge and respect cultural differences. By doing so, counselors can better support couples in navigating their unique challenges and enhancing their relational satisfaction. Ultimately, this study advocates for a shift in marriage counseling paradigms to embrace a more holistic and culturally sensitive approach, thereby improving outcomes for couples from diverse backgrounds.

Abstract

Background. Adolescence is a critical period for emotional development and social adjustment. During this stage, the ability to regulate emotions becomes increasingly important, particularly as it influences the formation of prosocial behavior—actions intended to benefit others. Gender differences have also been observed in both emotional regulation strategies and prosocial tendencies, highlighting the need to explore how these variables interact. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotion regulation and prosocial behavior in adolescents, with a specific focus on gender differences. It also sought to identify whether gender moderates the influence of emotion regulation strategies on the development of prosocial actions among adolescents. Method. The study involved 320 high school students aged 13–17 from urban and semi-urban schools. Data were collected using standardized psychological scales measuring emotion regulation (including cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) and prosocial behavior. Statistical analysis was conducted using correlation analysis, multiple regression, and moderation tests to examine gender-based differences. Results. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between cognitive reappraisal and prosocial behavior in both genders, with a stronger effect observed among female participants. Expressive suppression showed a weak or negative correlation with prosocial behavior, particularly among males. Gender was found to moderate the relationship, indicating that females who engage in positive emotion regulation strategies tend to display higher levels of prosocial behavior. Conclusion. Emotion regulation plays a crucial role in shaping adolescent prosocial behavior, with notable differences between males and females. Educational and psychological interventions aimed at fostering emotional competence should consider gender-specific approaches to enhance social functioning and empathy among adolescents.

Abstract

Background. Career anxiety is a common psychological concern among vocational high school students who are preparing to transition into the workforce. This anxiety can be influenced by various factors, including self-doubt, fear of failure, and uncertainty about future employment opportunities. Psychological well-being plays a crucial role in how students cope with career-related stress. Therefore, psychoeducational interventions designed to enhance psychological well-being may be effective in reducing career anxiety, particularly when gender differences are taken into account. Purpose. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of psychological well-being psychoeducation in reducing career anxiety among vocational high school students. It also explored whether the intervention had different levels of effectiveness based on gender. Method. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Participants consisted of 100 vocational high school students (50 males and 50 females) from two different schools. The intervention group received psychological well-being psychoeducation over six sessions, focusing on self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose in life, positive relationships, personal growth, and environmental mastery. The career anxiety levels of all participants were measured before and after the intervention using a standardized career anxiety scale. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and two-way ANOVA. Results. The results showed a significant reduction in career anxiety scores in the intervention group compared to the control group. Furthermore, female students demonstrated a greater decrease in anxiety levels than male students, suggesting that gender moderates the impact of psychological well-being psychoeducation on career-related stress. Conclusion. Psychoeducation focused on psychological well-being is effective in reducing career anxiety among vocational high school students. Gender differences in the outcomes highlight the need for tailored approaches in career counseling programs. Educational institutions are encouraged to incorporate structured psychoeducational modules to support students’ emotional and career readines.

Abstract

Climate change has emerged as a significant global challenge that profoundly impacts various aspects of life, particularly mental health, and this is especially true for young adults who often experience heightened anxiety and distress in response to environmental changes. The present study investigates the role of social counseling as a vital intervention in mitigating the psychological effects of climate change anxiety. By employing a cross-cultural comparative approach, the research engages participants from diverse cultural backgrounds, allowing for a nuanced understanding of how social counseling practices can be effectively adapted to meet the unique needs of different populations. Findings underscore that effective counseling interventions encompass essential components such as providing emotional support, educating individuals about climate change, and fostering the development of coping skills, all of which not only assist individuals in managing their anxiety but also empower them to take proactive measures regarding their environmental concerns. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of culturally sensitive methodologies in designing counseling programs, as varying cultural contexts significantly influence perceptions of climate change and responses to anxiety. In light of these insights, the research advocates for integrated strategies that consider cultural nuances when addressing climate change anxiety, thereby offering valuable guidance for mental health practitioners, educators, and policymakers. By fostering resilience among young individuals and recognizing the intersection between environmental issues and mental health, the study contributes to a growing body of literature that calls for holistic approaches to support the mental well-being of future generations as they navigate the complexities of an ever-changing environment.

Abstract

Human resources play a vital role in the sustainability of industries and organizations. As such, human resource management (HRM) is responsible for providing competent workforce, maintaining its quality, and managing labor costs efficiently. One of the key challenges faced by organizations today is the high turnover intention among employees particularly within Generation Z, which is known for having distinct characteristics and expectations compared to previous generations. This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership on turnover intention among Generation Z employees, with organizational commitment serving as a mediating variable. Data were collected through a survey involving 193 Generation Z employees working at Company ABC. The analysis was conducted using path analysis techniques. The results indicate a significant indirect effect of transformational leadership on turnover intention through organizational commitment, with a coefficient of -0.135. This suggests that transformational leadership can meaningfully reduce employees’ intention to leave, particularly when it fosters stronger commitment to the organization. Furthermore, the findings confirm that organizational commitment effectively mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and turnover intention. These insights offer valuable implications for organizational management in addressing turnover issues among Generation Z employees especially by cultivating a workplace environment that promotes transformational leadership development. Keywords: Turnover Intention, Kepemimpinan Transformasional, Organizational Commitment, Generasi Z
