Abstract

Childhood trauma can significantly affect emotional development and behavioral functioning, particularly when traumatic experiences become associated with specific environments or situations. Situational trauma may lead to persistent fear responses and avoidance behaviors that interfere with children’s daily activities. Despite extensive research on cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure-based interventions for anxiety disorders, limited studies have explored the subjective process of childhood trauma recovery using qualitative approaches. This study aims to examine the psychological recovery process of a child experiencing elevator-related situational phobia following a traumatic incident of being trapped inside an elevator. A qualitative case study design was employed using continuous observation and in-depth interviews conducted over a 93-day intervention period. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the client and parents, participant observation during counseling sessions and exposure activities, and reflective documentation throughout the intervention process. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of psychological change during recovery. The findings reveal that trauma recovery occurred through six interconnected phases: initial fear and avoidance, development of emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring of fear, gradual exposure and confidence building, spiritual meaning and trust, and behavioral reintegration. These results suggest that effective childhood trauma recovery involves an integrative process combining emotional stabilization, cognitive reinterpretation, behavioral exposure, and spiritual coping. The study highlights the importance of holistic and culturally sensitive counseling approaches in facilitating trauma recovery among children experiencing situational fear

Abstract

The digital era presents both challenges and potential threats to the sustainability of local cultural values in Indonesia. Rapid developments in information technology have contributed to shifts in traditional wisdom, which in some cases are marked by an increased tendency toward intolerance. Such phenomena have the potential to damage national identity and disrupt social harmony in a multicultural society. From a psychological perspective, intolerance can be mitigated through the enhancement of cognitive understanding of diversity via multicultural intelligence, as well as the realization of prosocial behavior through the development of cross-ethnic and interreligious friendships. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of multicultural intelligence and cross-ethnic and interreligious friendships as predictors of tolerance among university students in the digital era. A quantitative approach with a multiple linear regression design was employed. The study involved 1,038 students from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds, selected using a convenience sampling technique. The research instruments included the Cultural Intelligence Scale, the Cross-Ethnic and Interreligious Friendship Scale, and the Tolerance Scale. The results indicated that multicultural intelligence and cross-ethnic and interreligious friendships significantly predicted tolerance (F = 633.814, p < 0.01). These findings suggest that tolerance can be cultivated through enhancing individuals’ understanding of diversity and through positive social interactions with people from different ethnic and religious backgrounds. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of implementing educational programs based on cross-ethnic, interreligious, and cultural literacy within academic environments on a continuous basis. Such programs are expected to support young people in consistently internalizing and practicing tolerance in diverse social contexts.

This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The study sample consisted of 20 students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a phubbing scale and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test. The results showed a significant decrease in phubbing behavior in the experimental group (p < 0.05), with the average score decreasing from 103.7 to 73.2 (Δ = 30.5), while in the control group, the decrease was from 91.6 to 79.4 (Δ = 12.2). The decrease in the experimental group was greater and more consistent compared to the control group.

The experimental group received four behavioral group counseling sessions using modeling technique, each lasting 45 minutes, while the control group received no treatment. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 with Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene's Test for homogeneity, paired-sample t-test, and independent-sample t-test with Welch's correction. Results showed a significant decrease in aggressive behavior scores after the intervention (t(19) = -19.965, p < 0.001), with a pretest mean of 60.45 (SD = 7.13) and posttest mean of 96.75 (SD = 3.14).
