<![CDATA[Background: Self-esteem plays a crucial role in students’ academic and social development. Many junior high school students experience challenges related to self-confidence and self-worth, which can affect their overall well-being and performance in school. Counseling strategies that incorporate visual and behavioral modeling may help improve these aspects. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group counseling services using symbolic modeling techniques in improving the self-esteem of eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Cimahi. Method: The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically the non-equivalent control group design. The study involved 20 eighth-grade students who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using a self-esteem questionnaire based on Christopher J. Mruk's theory. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, applying gain score calculations to measure changes in self-esteem. Result: The findings revealed that the experimental group showed an average n-gain score of 74.9%, which falls into the moderately effective category. In contrast, the control group had an average n-gain score of only 0.6%, categorized as ineffective. These results indicate a notable improvement in the self-esteem of students who participated in the symbolic modeling-based group counseling sessions. Conclusion: Group counseling services using symbolic modeling techniques are quite effective in enhancing the self-esteem of eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Cimahi. The intervention helped students build a stronger sense of self through observational learning and social reinforcement. Contribution: This study contributes to the field of educational counseling by offering empirical evidence supporting symbolic modeling as an effective technique for improving adolescent self-esteem. It also provides a practical framework for school counselors seeking innovative methods to address students’ emotional and psychological development.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Parenting styles play a pivotal role in adolescent personality development, shaping core psychological dimensions such as self-esteem, autonomy, and social competence. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of parental parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful) on adolescent personality development among secondary school students. Method: Employing an explanatory mixed-methods correlational design, data were collected via structured questionnaires administered to both parents and students, supplemented by qualitative in-depth interviews to capture nuanced parenting dynamics. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive power of each parenting style on personality dimensions. Result: Parenting styles significantly predict adolescent personality development. Authoritative parenting demonstrated a strong, positive association with higher self-esteem, autonomy, and social skills, whereas authoritarian and permissive styles were inversely linked to adaptive personality outcomes, often hindering emotional resilience and prosocial behavior. Conclusion: Authoritative parenting serves as a protective and promoting factor for healthy adolescent personality trajectories. Cultivating authoritative child-rearing practices is imperative for nurturing confident, independent, and socially adept adolescents. Originality/Value: This study extends empirical insights in the field of developmental psychology and family counseling by uncovering the differential effects of parenting typologies, particularly the superiority of authoritative over authoritarian and permissive styles across self esteem, autonomy, and social competencies, regarding adolescent personality development in the context of parent adolescent dyadic dynamics among secondary school students, an area that has remained underexamined through combined quantitative qualitative lenses. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic benchmark for developing family based psychoeducational interventions, evidence-based school counseling programs, and community parenting workshops.]]>

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group guidance services based on Banjar oral culture in improving the politeness behaviour of students at SMAN 1 Alalak. Method: The research was conducted at SMAN 1 Alalak in 2023 using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-post-test design. Data on students' politeness behaviour were collected using a standardized behaviour scale and analysed using the Paired Sample T-test. Result: The analysis showed a significant increase in politeness behaviour scores after the implementation of the group guidance services. The Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.000, which is less than the significance level of 0.05, indicating that the intervention had a statistically significant effect. Conclusion: Group guidance services grounded in Banjar oral culture are effective in enhancing students' politeness behaviour. The integration of cultural values into guidance practices strengthens character education efforts in schools.

<![CDATA[Background: The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) establishes an integrated regional market characterized by the unrestricted mobility of skilled labor, goods, and services. This globalization dynamic intensifies workforce competition, demanding that students and prospective graduates possess robust adaptability, superior competencies, and optimal psychological readiness. Consequently, guidance and counseling services become vital to navigate these multidimensional career challenges. Objective: This study aims to examine the opportunities, challenges, and strategic urgency of guidance and counseling services in preparing a globally competitive workforce in the AEC era. Method: A qualitative literature review was conducted by examining peer-reviewed scientific articles published between 2013 and 2022 sourced from Google Scholar and ResearchGate. A total of 10 relevant empirical and theoretical articles were synthesized using descriptive thematic analysis. Results: The synthesis revealed four strategic counseling imperatives for the AEC era: (1) adopting cyber counseling to broaden service accessibility and efficiency; (2) enhancing students' self-efficacy to foster academic perseverance and global competitiveness; (3) implementing solution-focused brief counseling (SFBC) for goal-oriented problem resolution; and (4) delivering comprehensive career guidance to enhance workforce readiness. Conclusion: Guidance and counseling are indispensable in transforming AEC challenges into developmental opportunities, equipping individuals with technical readiness, high self-efficacy, and adaptive decision-making skills. Originality/Value: This review article provides novel conceptual contributions to the field of global and multicultural guidance and counseling by synthesizing literature on the strategic urgency, opportunities, and intervention modalities of counseling services in addressing AEC labor market integration. This study maps theoretical and methodological gaps while serving as a strategic reference for developing technology-driven counseling frameworks (cyber counseling) and guiding future research agendas on regional counselor competencies and workforce readiness]]>
