Abstract

Adolescents to express personal experiences, emotions, and psychological conflicts through role playing in a group setting. This study aimed to describe the implementation of psychodrama as a group counseling method for adolescents in a social care institution and identify the internal and external barriers encountered during its implementation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving psychodrama facilitators and adolescent participants. The findings show that psychodrama was implemented flexibly according to adolescents’ psychological conditions and readiness, involving facilitators, protagonists, auxiliaries, and group members in developing dramatic situations. The evaluation indicated improvements in adolescents’ openness, self acceptance, emotional expression, confidence, and problem solving. Adolescents who showed limited progress received individual guidance and counseling as follow up services. However, implementation was hindered by limited openness, interest, motivation, confidence, and seriousness among adolescents, as well as limited funding, external support, socialization, and counseling personnel. Overall, psychodrama has potential as a group counseling method for adolescents in social care settings when supported by competent facilitators, adequate institutional resources, and appropriate follow up services.

Abstract

Social media has become an integral part of adolescent life, providing diverse content that shapes how teenagers perceive their bodies and appearance. Exposure to ideal body standards, social comparison, photo filtering and editing, and body shaming can increase the risk of body dissatisfaction and distortion among adolescent girls. This study aims to analyze the influence of social media on body image distortion in female adolescents and identify the mechanisms and underlying factors influencing this relationship as a foundation for developing guidance and counseling services. Employing a literature review design, this study analyzes and synthesizes relevant prior research on social media, adolescent body image, social comparison, beauty standards, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and mental health. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-synthetic approach by identifying patterns, themes, similarities, differences, and implications of previous empirical findings. The results indicate that social media contributes to body image distortion primarily through appearance-based content exposure, social comparison, internalization of ideal body standards, and unrealistic body representation resulting from photo filters and editing tools. Body image distortion is linked to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and maladaptive health behaviors. However, the impact of social media is multifaceted, as it is moderated by content characteristics, usage patterns, self-esteem, self-acceptance, social support, and media literacy. Preventing body image distortion among female adolescents requires a comprehensive approach by fostering media literacy, self-acceptance, self-esteem, social comparison management skills, and healthy social media usage. In educational settings, guidance and counseling services play a strategic role in developing preventive measures and interventions to help adolescents cultivate a positive body image and adaptively navigate appearance pressures in digital environments.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of academic procrastination on the learning outcomes of grade VII students at SMP Negeri 1 Padaherang. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design involving a sample of 163 grade VII students. Data were collected using an academic procrastination scale questionnaire based on Ghufron's theory and student learning outcome score logs, which were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that the majority of students namely 74% were in the low category of academic procrastination, while the learning outcomes of most students namely 64% were in the moderate category. Simple linear regression testing revealed a significant negative effect of academic procrastination on learning outcomes with a significance level of 0.000 less than 0.05, a correlation value R of 0.366, and an influence contribution of 13.4%. It can be concluded that although its contribution is relatively small, academic procrastination still significantly affects student learning achievement. This study contributes to mapping the extent of task postponement influence for guidance and counseling teachers in designing procrastination prevention services in schools.

Abstract

Background: Learning independence is an essential 21st century capability required for students to navigate modern education, yet high academic dependency remains widespread. Objective: This study aims to analyze and synthesize the role of individual counseling services in fostering student learning independence based on previous empirical findings. Method: A literature review with a descriptive qualitative approach was conducted, analyzing 15 relevant scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 using content analysis. Result: The review reveals that individual counseling significantly enhances self regulation capabilities, academic responsibility, study discipline, decision making, and learning time management. Furthermore, behavior modification tools, particularly self management and positive reinforcement techniques, prove to be highly effective operational strategies within counseling sessions. Conclusion: Individual counseling serves as a vital therapeutic intervention that successfully transforms student learning behaviors from external reliance toward sustainable autonomy. Contribution: This research strengthens the theoretical integration of self regulated learning with counseling practices, providing an empirical foundation for school counselors to implement evidence-based guidance strategies.
