Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a group guidance approach using modeling techniques in enhancing career planning among high school students. Given the rapidly evolving job market and rising youth unemployment, structured career planning interventions for high schoolers are urgently needed to prevent future career misalignment and underemployment. The research employed a mixed-method design with an explanatory sequential approach, involving 36 eleventh-grade science students at SMAN 1 Purwakarta. Participants were selected via purposive sampling, targeting eleventh-grade science students with intermediate career-planning readiness to ensure intervention relevance. Quantitative data were collected through a career planning questionnaire, while qualitative data were obtained from interviews and observations. A 20-item Likert-scale career planning questionnaire measured four dimensions: decision-making, understanding, information-seeking, and self-efficacy (α=0.87), administered pre- and post-intervention.  The results indicate a significant improvement in career planning scores, with the average increasing from 100.36 (pretest) to 114.39 (posttest) (p = 0.000). The decision-making aspect showed the highest increase (+4.83), followed by career understanding (+4.62) and career information-seeking (+4.58). The findings demonstrate that modeling techniques using inspirational videos and interactions with real-life models such as professionals and alumni successfully visualized concrete steps in career planning, enhanced self-efficacy, and reduced student confusion. Qualitative findings confirm that group dynamics facilitated experience-sharing and enriched students' perspectives on the professional world. This study concludes that the approach is effective in helping students develop structured and comprehensive career planning. Practical implications emphasize the importance of integrating modeling-based career guidance programs into school counseling curricula, supported by external collaborations and the use of digital media.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly exacerbated stress levels, particularly among working women in Malaysia, who faced increased domestic and professional responsibilities during the crisis. This study explores the effectiveness of Expressive Art Therapy in managing pandemic-induced stress among this demographic. Through qualitative research involving in-depth interviews with 30 participants, the study investigates how Expressive Art Therapy has been utilized to alleviate emotional and psychological strain. The findings reveal that engaging in activities such as painting, drawing, and dance allows these women to articulate emotions nonverbally, fostering a therapeutic release and promoting mental health resilience. This therapeutic approach has proven beneficial in enhancing emotional well-being, offering an innovative outlet for stress management, and improving overall life satisfaction among participants. The research underscores the potential of Expressive Art Therapy to serve as a valuable tool in occupational stress management strategies, particularly in times of crisis. However, the study acknowledges limitations, including the sample size and the specific focus on women who have opted for this therapy, potentially skewing broader applicability. Future research is recommended to explore Expressive Art Therapy's efficacy in broader demographic settings and to examine its long-term psychological benefits. This study highlights the need for policy enhancements to integrate creative therapies into workplace mental health programs, thus supporting gender-specific mental health needs during unprecedented times.

Abstract

The increasing immersion of children and young adults in social media has heightened concerns about their psychosocial adjustment, underscoring the critical role of parental monitoring and communication. This study investigated how parental involvement, through monitoring and open communication, predicts social media use and adjustment among undergraduates in Anambra State, Nigeria. A correlational survey design was employed. Data were collected from 269 undergraduates (134 males, 135 females), aged 17 to 24 years, purposively selected from two public universities. The 24-item Parental Monitoring and Communication Questionnaire (PMCQ), culturally adapted and revalidated by experts, was used for data collection. Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple regressions via SPSS version 25. Parental monitoring negatively predicted social media use (β = –0.29, R² = .084, p < .001) and positively predicted adolescent adjustment (β = 0.34, R² = .116, p < .001). Similarly, open communication negatively predicted social media use (β = –0.23, R² = .053, p < .001) and positively predicted adolescent adjustment (β = 0.31, R² = .096, p < .001). When combined, parental monitoring and open communication explained 11.6% of the variance in social media use and 17.2% in adolescent adjustment (p < .001), confirming their joint predictive strength. The findings reinforce the importance of autonomy-supportive parenting practices in the digital age. Implications include the need to enhance parents’ digital literacy, promote culturally sensitive communication, and encourage school-family collaboration. It is recommended that parenting workshops, school engagement programs, and policy frameworks be developed to support parents in guiding responsible social media use among Nigerian youth.

Abstract

This study examines the correlation between self-regulation and meaning of life among high school students. Adolescence is a crucial developmental phase characterized by identity exploration and emotional challenges, where self-regulation and life purpose play essential roles. Self-regulation refers to the ability to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors toward long-term goals. Meanwhile, meaning of life involves both the presence and search for purpose. This quantitative correlational research was conducted at SMA Trisoko Jakarta, involving 122 randomly selected students from a population of 176. Data were collected using validated instruments based on Zimmerman’s (1989) self-regulation theory and Steger’s (2006) meaning in life framework. Statistical analysis used Pearson’s product-moment correlation. Results showed a significant positive relationship between self-regulation and meaning of life (r = 0.741, p < 0.01), indicating a strong correlation. These findings suggest that students with higher self-regulation are more likely to experience a stronger sense of life meaning. The study underscores the importance of school-based counseling in enhancing students' self-regulation to support identity development and existential well-being.

Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among students has caused various negative impacts, such as a decline in academic achievement, lack of social interaction, and decreased responsibility in daily life. This condition indicates the need for structured counseling interventions. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sampling technique was purposive sampling involving 40 students of SMA Muhammadiyah Cipanas, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received three informational services and seven sessions of group counseling using the self-control technique, while the control group only received three informational services. The research instruments included a Likert-scale questionnaire, observation, interview, and documentation. Data were analyzed using an Independent Sample T-Test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (t = 2.152; p < 0.05), indicating that group counseling with the self-control technique was effective in reducing online game addiction. This finding was supported by observations and interviews, which revealed students’ improved ability to manage gaming time and academic responsibilities. Thus, self-control-based group counseling proved to be relevant and can serve as a practical counseling strategy in schools.
