Abstract

The increasing prevalence of academic burnout among university students in Indonesia necessitates a deeper understanding of its associated factors. This study aims to examine the relationship between hardiness, grit, and academic burnout among architecture students in Surabaya. Utilizing a quantitative correlational approach, the research involved 245 architecture students enrolled in public universities across Surabaya, selected through disproportionate stratified random sampling. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) was employed to measure academic burnout, while hardiness was assessed using the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS-15-Revised), and grit was measured through Angela Duckworth’s Grit Scale (2009). The findings indicate that hardiness and grit are simultaneously negatively associated with academic burnout. The regression analysis revealed a negative coefficient, suggesting that higher levels of hardiness and grit are associated with lower levels of academic burnout.

This study aims to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and employability in students participating in the UNNES PRIGEL MBKM program. The approach used was quantitative correlation and involved 350 students selected through quota sampling. Research data were taken using the employability scale and the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS). Furthermore, the data were analyzed using Pearson's Product Moment correlation technique. This study obtained the results of the emotional intelligence and employability correlation test, which resulted in a count value = 0.626 with a significance value of p = 0.001 and p < 0.05. These results indicate a relationship between emotional intelligence and employability in college students.

Abstract

Students during lectures cannot be denied having academic demands and pressures. Kholidan & Alsa (2012) that the pressures and demands of lectures as a cause of stress or a source of student stressors. Another opinion states that one source of stress for students is the ambition to achieve and complete various academic tasks (Greenberg, 2004). The phenomenon of achievement motivation is often found among students, even though students need to maintain their level of academic motivation. Achievement motivation has an important role in achieving one's achievements. Achievement motivation is very important for individuals to be able to follow the learning process well (Nurazmi & Kurniawan, 2016). Resilience acts as a factor that influences achievement motivation (Mardiana et al., 2017). According to Connor & Davidson, students need certain abilities, one of which is resilience, an ability a person has to survive, overcome, and thrive in adversity (Yuliasih & Akmal, 2017). Students who have academic resilience are not easy to despair when experiencing academic difficulties. (Harahap et al., 2020).  This quantitative research involved 201 UNNES Psychology students as samples taken using purposive sampling technique. The data of this study were obtained using the academic resilience scale (ARS-30) adapted by Kumalasari (2020), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionaire Manual (MSLQM) adapted by Purwanto 2014, and Student-Life Stess Inventory (SLSI) adapted by Putra (2018). The results of the analysis obtained F of 86.218 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05), so that the hypothesis that reads "there is a relationship between academic resilience and achievement motivation in students who experience academic stress" is accepted.

Abstract

This study explores how the absence of a father figure—due to either death or divorce—shapes a girl's romantic relationships later in life. Using a descriptive case study approach, researchers conducted in-depth interviews with three women who all experienced being left by their fathers during childhood.Through these conversations, several recurring themes emerged, shedding light on the long-lasting emotional effects of growing up without a dad. The five key themes identified were: emotional dependence, a deep need for protection and acceptance, impulsive decisions around marriage, insecurity in relationships, and a tendency to seek a father figure in romantic partners. What’s striking is that none of the participants described any positive or healthy impact this early loss had on their adult relationships. Instead, the absence of a father left a significant emotional gap, influencing how they connect with and trust men. The study highlights just how vital a present, loving, and supportive father figure is in a girl's life. A healthy father-daughter relationship helps shape a girl's expectations of men, teaches her how to build strong emotional bonds, and plays a crucial role in how she navigates love and intimacy as an adult.

Abstract

Inclusive education for children with special needs, especially deaf students, is a fundamental need in creating a fair and equitable education system. This article discusses the influence of the school environment on deaf students' learning motivation, focusing on the physical, social, academic and emotional aspects that support their learning process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the role of a conducive school environment in improving deaf students' enthusiasm and motivation to learn at an inclusive junior high school in Surakarta. The results showed that deaf-friendly facilities, positive social support, learning methods tailored to students' needs, and an inclusive emotional environment greatly influenced their learning motivation. Factors such as the availability of hearing aids, empathic attitudes from teachers, and supportive social interactions also increase deaf students' learning motivation. Therefore, it is important for schools to provide an adaptive and inclusive environment so that deaf students can learn optimally and feel accepted in the educational environment.

Abstract

Mental health is essential for first-year college students, affecting their transition and academic success. The transition phase involves significant challenges due to major life changes. This study presents data on the mental health conditions of first-year students at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) and emphasizes the need for comprehensive, community-based interventions. A quantitative cross-sectional approach was utilized, surveying 410 first-year students from the 2024 cohort using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). Findings revealed high levels of anxiety, followed by depression and stress, with factors such as gender, age, and geographic origin significantly influencing mental health outcomes. Differences in admission pathways and tuition levels also provided valuable context. A comprehensive intervention strategy is proposed to address these issues, combining quarterly and daily components. The quarterly program, Q-CARE (Quarterly – Campus Adaptation & Resilience Enhancement), involves mandatory mental health screenings, personalized counseling referrals, and mentor check-ins. The daily support system includes mood journaling integrated into classroom attendance, motivational posters with QR codes linking to counseling services, and a "Mind Space" feature within the MyUNNES app offering self-help tools like grounding podcasts and breathing exercises. This program leverages existing resources and technology to support students during their transition and academic journey, promoting early detection and sustained mental well-being. Successful implementation will require collaboration among stakeholders, particularly university administrators, to ensure a lasting impact on student mental health.
