Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage where friendship and social support networks significantly influence mental health and behavioral outcomes. This narrative review aims to examine the psychological and sociocultural determinants that shape adolescent peer relationships and their implications for emotional well-being. The review systematically identified relevant literature from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, using keywords related to social relationships, friendship, social support, adolescent mental health, and behavioral risks. Studies published between 2014 and 2023 were included based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on empirical findings from qualitative, quantitative, and longitudinal studies. The findings demonstrate that psychological factors such as self-confidence and resilience are strongly associated with the development and sustainability of adolescent friendships. Resilient adolescents exhibit better conflict management and emotional regulation, resulting in stronger support networks. Simultaneously, sociocultural factors, including societal norms and cultural expectations, influence the structure of these networks, with collectivist cultures emphasizing familial and group-based ties, and individualist cultures favoring autonomy and self-selected relationships. Social support networks are shown to mitigate risks of depression and anxiety, especially when emotional quality and inclusivity are present. However, stigma surrounding mental health remains a significant systemic barrier. Peer-led community programs have demonstrated efficacy in strengthening social bonds and reducing isolation. The review concludes by advocating for culturally sensitive policies and educational programs that address stigma, enhance social integration, and promote mental resilience among youth.

Abstract

This narrative review examines the effectiveness of social psychological interventions in advancing equity and belonging in education, with a focus on developing countries. Evidence is synthesized across four domains: Social Emotional Learning (SEL), AI-supported interventions, brief positive psychology practices, and multidimensional programs for marginalized students. A systematic search of major databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar) yielded 85 empirical studies meeting inclusion criteria. Findings show that SEL enhances emotional regulation, peer relations, and academic outcomes; AI-based tools provide scalable support for anxiety and stress; and brief positive psychology practices foster motivation and classroom cohesion. Multidimensional programs addressing academic, psychosocial, and family needs deliver the greatest impact in disadvantaged settings. However, systemic barriers such as policy gaps, limited teacher training, and socioeconomic disparities constrain scalability. This review contributes by integrating AI with SEL in the context of low-resource settings, offering practical recommendations: strengthen teacher capacity, embed mental health in education policy, and build school–community partnerships. Future research should employ longitudinal and culturally grounded designs to test sustainability.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the psychological foundations of moral decision-making and prosocial behavior by examining the roles of emotion, reasoning, and contextual factors. The objective is to synthesize recent empirical findings to understand how these dimensions interact to influence moral actions. A systematic literature search was conducted using databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, with keywords including "moral psychology," "prosocial behavior," and "emotional influences on moral reasoning." Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed articles that utilized quantitative, qualitative, or review methodologies and addressed diverse populations across cultures. The results revealed that emotions, particularly empathy and compassion, significantly drive prosocial tendencies, and can be enhanced through interventions like loving-kindness meditation. Moral reasoning is shaped by developmental stages, cultural background, and educational exposure, with deontological and utilitarian frameworks often guiding decisions. Social context, including group identity and societal norms, further modulates moral choices, especially during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings align with established theories, including Kohlberg’s moral development stages and contextualist moral models, and highlight the systemic role of education and policy in shaping moral behavior. The review concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating moral education, promoting emotional development, and implementing inclusive policies to foster prosocial behavior. Future research should prioritize longitudinal and cross-cultural studies to bridge current gaps in understanding the dynamics of moral psychology.

Abstract

This narrative review investigates the intersection of psychological, emotional, and contextual determinants in prosocial behavior and moral decision-making within mental health frameworks. The study aims to synthesize current empirical and comparative findings on how variables such as empathy, guilt, social norms, and cultural settings shape individual responses in social contexts. The review employed a rigorous literature search across four major academic databases—PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar—using Boolean combinations of keywords including "mental health," "community-based intervention," "psychosocial support," and "prosocial behavior." Inclusion criteria centered on peer-reviewed studies involving experimental and cross-cultural methodologies within the past decade. Findings indicate that emotions such as guilt and empathy significantly impact moral choices and prosocial tendencies, especially within environments characterized by collective norms and community support. Cultural comparisons reveal that collectivist societies exhibit stronger emotional responses and higher propensities for altruistic behavior. Moreover, contextual elements like group pressure, power dynamics, and access to supportive structures further modulate behavioral outcomes. Despite these insights, systemic barriers such as policy fragmentation and societal stigma remain significant impediments. The study underscores the importance of integrating emotional intelligence, social norm transformation, and structural support into mental health strategies. It recommends community-engaged interventions, digital advocacy, and cross-sector partnerships to promote sustainable solutions. These findings offer actionable implications for policy reform and future empirical research aimed at enhancing prosocial engagement globally.

Abstract

This narrative review investigates how various media forms influence social perception and the formation of attitudes, focusing on narrative persuasion, framing effects, identity construction, and cross-cultural implications. The study begins by situating the relevance of the topic within the broader landscape of media influence on individual and collective behavior, especially in the digital age. Using a structured narrative review search across Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, literature was collected based on relevant keywords such as "media influence," "social perception," and "attitude formation," with rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria guiding selection. The review identifies four key themes. First, narrative persuasion significantly alters attitudes by fostering emotional engagement and reducing counterarguments. Second, media framing influences public interpretation of events and policies, shaping political and social opinions. Third, social media platforms contribute to identity construction and the reinforcement of social norms, particularly among youth and marginalized communities. Fourth, cross-cultural comparisons show that media effects vary by region, mediated by cultural values, political systems, and media literacy levels. The review concludes that media is a powerful agent in shaping public opinion, necessitating policy interventions that promote algorithmic transparency and educational programs in media literacy. Understanding the complex dynamics of media influence is essential for cultivating informed societies capable of navigating an increasingly mediated world.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed nonverbal communication by introducing face masks into daily interactions, particularly affecting adolescents during a critical phase of socioemotional development. This study investigates how face masks influence the accuracy and cognitive processing of basic facial emotion recognition among Indonesian adolescents. Employing a between-subjects experimental design, 200 adolescents aged 12–18 were randomly assigned to view masked or unmasked facial expressions depicting six basic emotions. Emotion recognition accuracy, reaction times, and confidence ratings were collected using the Labvanced platform. The results indicate that face masks significantly reduce the accuracy of emotion recognition, with the most pronounced impairments observed for disgust and fear. Reaction times were longer across all masked conditions, suggesting increased cognitive load. Anger and sadness, which are more discernible from the eye region, maintained relatively higher recognition rates. Adolescents employed compensatory strategies, such as focusing on the eye region and contextual cues, but these were insufficient to fully counteract the interpretive challenges introduced by masking. The findings have critical implications for adolescent mental health and educational environments. Impaired emotion recognition may contribute to social withdrawal, miscommunication, and emotional dysregulation, ultimately affecting academic performance and peer relationships. These challenges are further complicated by cultural norms in Indonesia that may discourage overt emotional expression. Prolonged mask-wearing may also disrupt the development of emotional intelligence and social cognition. Interventions that promote emotion literacy particularly those that address masked and ambiguous facial cues are recommended. Schools, parents, and policymakers should work collaboratively to support adolescents through targeted educational programs and culturally sensitive socioemotional training.

Abstract

This study examines whether testimonial content on Instagram enhances emotional engagement and strengthens anti-smoking attitudes among Indonesian adolescents. Using a mixed-method design, 100 university students aged 18–24 were exposed to three types of Instagram posts: testimonial visuals, infographics, and text-based messages. Engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares) and sentiment-coded user comments were analyzed through ANOVA and thematic analysis. Results showed that testimonial posts generated the highest interaction, with likes (80%), comments (10%), and shares (5%), nearly doubling engagement compared to infographics and text formats. Sentiment analysis revealed empathy (40%) and fear (25%) as dominant emotional responses, indicating that emotional resonance enhances message retention and peer interaction. These findings suggest that testimonial storytelling on Instagram is more effective than data-driven formats in fostering anti-smoking attitudes among youth. Campaign designers and policymakers should prioritize culturally grounded testimonial narratives to increase relatability, encourage reflection, and promote behavior change, while ensuring inclusivity and ethical implementation.

Abstract

The rapid rise of esports in urban Indonesia has reshaped youth culture and identity, particularly in Bandung, where digital teams act as important spaces for collective belonging. This study investigates how group identity influences in-group bias and behavioral conformity among esports gamers. Using a mixed methods approach combining a survey of 150 players and in-depth interviews with 15 participants, supported by observations at local tournaments, the research revealed that stronger group identity was significantly associated with higher conformity to team norms and stronger favoritism toward in-group members. Qualitative narratives further showed that symbolic markers such as jerseys and team tags, emotional loyalty, and peer-enforced rules play a crucial role in shaping behaviors and reinforcing cohesion both online and offline. These findings highlight that esports communities serve not only as entertainment hubs but also as arenas for identity formation and social learning, suggesting the need for educational and youth development frameworks that recognize the psychosocial value of digital gaming cultures.

Abstract

This study examines how adult attachment styles shape relationship satisfaction among Indonesian university students in long distance romantic relationships (LDRs). Using a qualitative phenomenological design with seven participants aged 20–24, the research explored lived experiences of communication, intimacy, trust, and cultural values. Findings revealed that securely attached individuals displayed consistent communication, emotional openness, and resilience, whereas avoidant and fearful-avoidant individuals struggled with self-disclosure, emotional closeness, and satisfaction. Indonesian collectivist norms moderated attachment expressions, emphasizing emotional restraint and family-oriented decision making. The study highlights the cultural adaptation of attachment theory, showing how trust and intimacy are mediated by sociocultural expectations and digital communication. Practical implications include the need for culturally tailored therapeutic interventions, such as Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and teletherapy. Future research should involve more diverse samples and longitudinal or mixed-method designs to deepen understanding.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of SMS-based behavioral nudges in reducing school dropout rates in disadvantaged regions of Indonesia. The research addresses persistent educational disparities that remain despite financial aid programs such as BOS and PIP. Inspired by behavioral insights and global practices, the intervention focused on motivational and loss-aversion messages delivered via SMS to parents and students. A cluster randomized trial was implemented in low-income communities in Papua and Sulawesi. The trial compared control and treatment groups by measuring attendance, retention, and parental engagement, with baseline and follow-up data used to capture behavioral changes. Results showed significant improvements in attendance and a modest reduction in dropout rates among the treatment group. Motivational nudges produced stronger effects than neutral reminders, and impacts were amplified when combined with financial aid programs. Supportive parental attitudes also contributed to sustained engagement. The study concludes that SMS-based nudges are a cost-effective and scalable tool to complement existing education policies. Ethical implementation requires attention to consent, privacy, and cultural sensitivity. Future research should focus on long-term behavioral impacts and integration with national education platforms.
