Abstract

Children with mild intellectual disability are particularly vulnerable to online exploitation, cyberbullying, and excessive screen exposure due to limitations in critical reasoning and social comprehension. This descriptive correlational study explored parental mediation patterns among families whose children regularly use digital devices. A culturally adapted 25 item questionnaire (20 mediation items + 4 parental self efficacy items) was used. This research was analyzed using ANOVA. The findings indicate significant differences in parental mediation, with restrictive strategies more pronounced among families with longer gadget use and active mediation more prevalent among parents with higher education and greater self-efficacy. Overall, parental belief in their ability to manage technology, combined with educational factors and children's device-use habits, shaped the form and intensity of mediation. The findings underscore the need for digital parenting interventions that reinforce parental confidence and encourage a more balanced shift from restrictive control toward supportive, communicative, and proactive mediation strategies.

Abstract

The global phenomenon of father absence significantly affects children's psychological, academic, and social development. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to pinpoint and consolidate the patterns and causes of father absence worldwide. We searched four primary databases Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar and found 253 articles. Following a screening process based on the PRISMA inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected ten articles for detailed analysis. The synthesis reveals that factors such as labor migration, marital conflict, patriarchal cultural standards, and unsupportive social policies contribute to father absence. The impacts include children's reduced emotional well-being, lower academic achievement, and poorer social adjustment. These results support the idea that father absence is a multifaceted issue influenced not just by individual factors but also by structural and cultural elements. As such, inclusive policies and societal changes that promote fathers' emotional engagement and equal parenting duties are essential.

Abstract

Resilience is a crucial psychological construct that enables university students to navigate academic and social challenges effectively. Despite its significance, gender-based differences in resilience remain underexplored in the context of Indonesian higher education. This study aimed to identify differences in resilience between male and female students using a psychometric approach based on the Rasch Model. A total of 1,046 students from public and private universities across 19 provinces in Indonesia participated in the study by completing a 20-item resilience scale tailored to academic settings. The Rasch analysis was used to assess item reliability, unidimensionality, and differential item functioning (DIF) across gender groups. The results indicated strong psychometric performance, with person reliability of 0.89 and item reliability of 0.99. The scale was confirmed to be unidimensional, and item difficulty ranged from −0.99 to 1.33 logits. Although the raw scores of male and female students were similar, DIF analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in resilience levels (F = 8.79, p = 0.003), with male students scoring higher (mean logit = 2.16) than female students (mean logit = 1.86). These findings highlight the presence of gender-based differences in resilience and emphasize the need for culturally sensitive interventions tailored to the psychological needs of each gender in higher education settings. The Rasch Model proved to be a robust method for detecting subtle psychological variations in diverse student populations.

Abstract

The phenomenon of students working while attending college is growing, including involvement in informal night work such as the entertainment industry and covert prostitution. The purpose of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of how students who become commercial sex workers (CSWs) interpret their self-concept, as well as the social, economic, family, and psychological factors that shape this experience. The data analysis technique in this study uses a qualitative approach with the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method, involving three female participants aged 22–25 who are active students and have experience working as “campus prostitutes”. The results show that involvement in this work is influenced by economic factors, broken home conditions, peer pressure, and the search for self-identity. The students experienced psychological conflicts in the form of guilt, moral dilemmas, efforts to maintain their identity, and strategies to balance their roles as students and night workers. Themes such as becoming a sex worker, time management, contraceptive use, worship, stigma, and economic change were recurring findings. This study confirms that informal night work has a significant impact on the formation of students' self-concept and psychosocial well-being.

Abstract

Increasing emotional dysregulation among adolescents has become a growing concern, particularly due to academic pressure and digital exposure. Emotional intelligence plays a key role in regulating emotions and managing social challenges. This study examines the effectiveness of coping strategies in enhancing students’ emotional intelligence through content mastery services. A quasi-experimental design was conducted with 63 students at SMPN 242 Jakarta, divided into experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests. Results showed a significant improvement in emotional intelligence in the experimental group (p < 0.001) with a moderate to strong effect size, while the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.663). These findings indicate that coping-based interventions effectively support emotional regulation and resilience. This study provides one of the first quasi-experimental evaluations in Indonesian junior high schools and highlights the importance of structured, preventive counseling programs.

Abstract

This study was conducted because self-harm behavior in adolescents has become a serious problem that requires in-depth attention, especially in Indonesia, where this phenomenon continues to increase. Factors such as gender, ethnicity, and age are believed to play an important role in influencing self-harm behavior, but comprehensive empirical studies on the interaction of these three factors are still limited. The objectives of this study were to identify differences in self-harm behavior based on gender, ethnicity, age, and investigate the interaction between these three factors. The research method used a quantitative design with a survey approach. The sample consisted of 812 adolescents who were randomly selected from various regions in Indonesia, and data were collected through questionnaires measuring the level of self-harm behavior and demographic factors. Data were analyzed using ANOVA in the Rasch model. The results showed that females have higher rates of self-harm than males. Bugis (B) and Flores (F) cultures show higher self-harm scores compared to other age groups. In addition, the 15-17 age group shows higher self-harm scores compared to other age groups. The conclusion of this study is that there are significant differences in self-harm behavior in adolescents based on gender, ethnicity, and age

Abstract

Nigerian secondary school researchers face an urgent methodological crisis: no validated, culturally appropriate instruments exist for measuring academic cheating proneness and its key psychological correlates among adolescents in this context. This paper employs an instrument adaptation and psychometric validation design to address this gap, reporting the systematic cross-cultural adaptation of a four-instrument measurement battery comprising the Proneness to Academic Cheating Behaviours Questionnaire (PACBQ), the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ), the Procrastination Scale (PS), and the Locus of Control Scale (LOCS). These four instruments were selected as a theoretically coherent package, collectively capturing the full psychological profile of the cheating-prone student within Social Cognitive Theory and Cognitive Behavioural Theory frameworks. Each instrument underwent expert panel appraisal, item deletion, cultural contextualisation, and linguistic simplification. Content validity was established through a five-member expert review panel, with inter-rater agreement exceeding 80%. Test-retest reliability, assessed on a pilot sample of 20 SS1 students at a two-week interval, yielded coefficients of 0.89 (PACBQ), 0.90 (SEQ), 0.90 (PS), and 0.92 (LOCS). The main study involved 102 students selected via multi-stage sampling. Implications for counselling practice and further psychometric development are discussed.
