Abstract

This study explores self-disclosure among adolescents who experience dysfunctional family dynamics due to parental infidelity, specifically in the cultural context of Lamongan, Indonesia. The research highlights how adolescents negotiate personal boundaries in sharing their emotional experiences within interpersonal relationships. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved in-depth interviews with seven adolescents aged 17–22 who have experienced direct or indirect consequences of parental infidelity. Findings reveal that adolescents tend to be selective in their self-disclosure, particularly when interacting with new acquaintances. In early interactions, they only share surface-level information such as the number of family members or parents' occupations, avoiding emotionally sensitive topics. The study shows that emotional closeness significantly influences the depth of information shared adolescents disclose more when trust and empathy are present in a relationship. Furthermore, digital media has emerged as an alternative space for self-disclosure. Some informants report greater comfort in sharing personal stories with strangers online than with close friends in real life, due to perceived anonymity and lower emotional risk. However, this behavior also poses risks related to privacy and misuse of information. The research emphasizes that self-disclosure is a gradual and context-dependent process shaped by interpersonal trust, emotional safety, and the communicative medium used. This study contributes to the understanding of adolescent psychological resilience and the role of communication in emotional recovery from family crises, highlighting the importance of creating supportive environments both offline and online.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how audiences perceive bullying scenes depicted in the Korean drama series Boyhood. The drama portrays various forms of bullying experienced by the main character, Jang Byeong Tae, which reflect social phenomena that also occur in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using reception analysis based on Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding theory. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with nine informants who had watched the entire series. The findings reveal that audience reception falls into three categories: dominant-hegemonic, negotiated, and oppositional readings. Most informants expressed empathy toward the bullying victim and regarded the drama as a reflective medium to raise awareness about bullying issues. However, some informants felt that the physical violence scenes were exaggerated and less relevant to the Indonesian context. This research is expected to serve as a reference for media scholars and content creators in presenting social issues more responsibly.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of lifestyle, product knowledge, and product design on local brand love for Compass Shoes in Surabaya, with brand image acting as an intervening variable. Utilizing a quantitative research method, data was collected from 150 Surabaya residents through questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-Partial Least Square (PLS). The findings indicate that brand image significantly influences local brand love. While lifestyle directly impacts local brand love, its influence on brand image is not significant. Product knowledge significantly affects brand image but does not directly influence local brand love. Crucially, product design significantly influences both brand image and local brand love. Furthermore, brand image mediates the relationship between product knowledge and local brand love, as well as between product design and local brand love, demonstrating that a positive brand image is crucial for fostering emotional connections with consumers. However, brand image does not mediate the relationship between lifestyle and local brand love. These results suggest that for optimal brand love, especially for brands like Compass Shoes, integrating innovative and functional product design with a strong brand image is essential.

Abstract

The iPhone has emerged as a symbol of modern identity and social prestige among Generation Z consumers in Surabaya. This study aims to examine the extent to which product quality and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) influence the purchasing decisions of this consumer group. Employing a quantitative research design, the study utilized purposive sampling to select respondents aged between 18 and 26 who are current iPhone users. Data were gathered through structured online questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression through SPSS software. The results indicate that both product quality and eWOM exert a significant and positive influence on purchasing decisions, both individually and jointly. Product quality reflected in features such as design aesthetics, performance, durability, and overall reliability was identified as a key determinant in consumer decisionmaking processes. Concurrently, e-WOM, particularly through social media platforms, online reviews, and influencer recommendations, was found to play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions, building trust, and enhancing the likelihood of purchase. These results highlight the dual importance of maintaining superior product standards and strategically engaging with digital communication channels. For practitioners, the study suggests prioritizing quality enhancement while simultaneously investing in digital marketing strategies that resonate with the online habits and preferences of Generation Z. Encouraging positive consumer feedback and optimizing brand visibility across digital platforms may further strengthen purchasing motivation. Future research is recommended to incorporate additional variables such as brand image, lifestyle orientation, or perceived value to develop a more comprehensive model of consumer behavior in the premium smartphone segment.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of debt policy, profitability, and tax avoidance on firm value, with dividend policy as a moderating variable, in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2018-2022. The data used is quantitative, sourced from secondary data. The population consists of 59 energy sector companies listed on the IDX from 2018 to 2022. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, resulting in a sample of 21 companies. Data analysis was performed using path analysis with the assistance of AMOS 24 software. The results indicate that debt policy does not have a significant impact on firm value. Profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value. Tax avoidance has a significant negative impact on firm value. Dividend policy does not significantly moderate the effects of debt policy, profitability, and tax avoidance on firm value. Therefore, companies in the energy sector should focus on their profitability levels, as it positively influences firm value. Additionally, energy sector companies should avoid tax avoidance practices, as they negatively impact firm value.

Abstract

PT Kreasi Karya Raya is a creative company that emphasizes the use of environmentally friendly materials, particularly recycled cardboard, in its products. Despite its commitment to sustainability through Corporate Social Responsibility programs and active social media use, the level of Employee Green Behavior adoption remains limited. This study aims to examine the influence of CSR and Social Media Usage on EGB within the company. A quantitative approach was employed using descriptive and causal research methods. Primary data were obtained from 42 employees through a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The results show that SMU has a positive and significant effect on EGB, indicating that digital platforms play a critical role in promoting sustainable practices among employees by facilitating information sharing, interaction, and the formation of eco-conscious communities. Conversely, CSR was found to have a positive but statistically insignificant influence on EGB, suggesting that current CSR initiatives may not sufficiently engage employees or align with their environmental motivations. These findings imply that while CSR remains an important framework, internal sustainability communication strategies via social media can be more effective in fostering green behavior in the workplace. To strengthen EGB, companies should prioritize participatory communication models, enhance employee involvement in CSR, and continuously evaluate the relevance and impact of their sustainability initiatives.

Abstract

The intense competition in the smartphone industry in Indonesia requires companies to continuously innovate in order to maintain consumer loyalty and prevent brand switching. The phenomenon of brand switching, particularly from Android to iPhone, is influenced by various psychological and social factors. This study aims to analyze the influence of Variety Seeking, Dissatisfaction, and Lifestyle on brand switching among students of UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur. This research employs a quantitative method with a causal associative design. The sample consists of 100 UPN "Veteran" Jawa Timur students who have switched from Android to iPhone, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Primary data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The findings reveal that the three variables significantly affect brand switching, both collectively (simultaneously) and individually (partially). The adjusted coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square) shows that these factors collectively explain 40.2% of the variation in brand switching decisions. Further analysis indicates that Variety Seeking is the most dominant factor, contributing 47.38%, followed by Dissatisfaction at 40.24%, and Lifestyle at 12.38%. Based on these results, the desire to seek new experiences emerges as the primary driver of brand switching, strengthened by dissatisfaction with previous products and validated by lifestyle compatibility.
