Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group guidance using psychodrama techniques in improving self-adjustment among students. The study employed a quantitative approach with an experimental research design, specifically a pretest–posttest control group design. The participants consisted of ten students, divided into an experimental group of five students and a control group of five students. The experimental group received group guidance with psychodrama techniques, while the control group received treatment as usual. The research participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-adjustment scale, which had been analyzed for validity and reliability using the Rasch model. The data were analyzed using an Independent Samples t-test. The results of the analysis using the independent sample t-test showed a significance value of 0,024 (<0,05). Based on the results of the data analysis, it can be concluded that group guidance with psychodrama techniques is effective in improving self-adjustment among senior high school students. Therefore, the findings of this study may serve as an alternative intervention for school counselors in enhancing students’ self-adjustment in the school setting.

Abstract

Sexual violence, both physically and psychologically, can be a traumatic stressor that triggers trauma in an individual's life. Trauma is a common condition that has a complex impact on an individual's life. This study aims to collect and analyze articles related to trauma care for psychological strengthening of adolescent survivors of sexual violence. The method used is a literature review. The author summarizes, makes a critical and in-depth analysis of previous literature. Based on the articles collected, it was found that sexual violence can leave a severe traumatic impact on victims. Victims may experience stress due to traumatic events, both during and after the event. Because of this condition, many victims of sexual violence are reluctant to report to the authorities because they feel unsafe, afraid of negative reactions, and embarrassed and intimidated by social stigma. They are worried that they will not be believed or even blamed, so they choose to keep their traumatic experiences without getting the support or justice they deserve. The role of media developers is to create applications that facilitate victims of sexual violence to report safely, anonymously, and easily. This application is designed to protect victims' privacy, reduce fear, and help them get support and justice without facing social stigma.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital mental health services has increased the use of cybercounseling, while simultaneously introducing challenges in interpreting nonverbal cues, particularly facial expressions, within technology-mediated interactions. This study aims to systematically examine the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in facial expression detection as a support feature in cybercounseling. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, drawing from multiple indexed academic databases. The included studies covered AI-based facial expression recognition, micro-expression analysis, depression detection, and relevant multimodal approaches. The findings indicate that deep learning–based models are capable of identifying facial patterns associated with emotional and psychological conditions, including depression, with high accuracy in controlled datasets. Micro-expression analysis further enables the detection of subtle and concealed affective signals that are difficult to observe through human perception alone. However, the results also demonstrate that facial expressions cannot be treated as direct representations of psychological states, as their interpretation is influenced by expression intensity, contextual factors, and individual variability. In addition, multimodal approaches integrating facial, vocal, and physiological signals provide more comprehensive and reliable insights compared to unimodal systems. These findings suggest that AI-based facial expression detection holds potential as a supportive tool in cybercounseling, particularly for enhancing affective observation and identifying subtle emotional cues. Nevertheless, its use should remain complementary to professional judgment rather than as a standalone diagnostic mechanism. Current limitations include the dominance of dataset-driven studies, limited application in real counseling contexts, and insufficient attention to ethical considerations.

Abstract

This study examines the psychological impact of prolonged grief among families of coal mining pit drowning victims and evaluates the effectiveness of peace counseling as an intervention strategy. The study aims to assess whether structured counseling can reduce grief loss and support adaptive psychological adjustment. A quantitative quasi-experimental approach was employed using a Single Subject Research (SSR) A–B–A design involving two participants who were mothers of the victims. Data were collected using the Grief Losing Scale administered repeatedly across baseline (A1), intervention (B), and post-intervention (A2) phases. The intervention consisted of six structured peace counseling sessions focusing on emotional processing, reflection, and meaning reconstruction. The findings reveal a clear reduction in grief levels during the intervention phase, followed by stable patterns in the post-intervention phase, indicating both immediate and sustained effects. The results suggest that peace counseling effectively facilitates emotional regulation and supports the reconstruction of meaning in the grieving process. In conclusion, this study provides empirical support for the use of peace counseling as a targeted intervention for prolonged grief, particularly in contexts of traumatic loss, while highlighting the need for further research with larger samples and extended follow-up periods to enhance generalizability.

Abstract

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an empirically supported intervention initially designed for individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) who present with self-injurious behaviors. The present article aims to evaluate the utility of DBT in addressing emotional dysregulation and maladaptive behavioral patterns across a range of clinical populations. The analysis encompasses assessment and case conceptualization, intervention strategies, evaluation of therapeutic outcomes, and termination protocols. Consideration is also given to the implementation of DBT in group settings and the influence of cultural factors on its effectiveness. Evidence from previous studies demonstrates that DBT contributes to significant reductions in self-harm, emotional distress, and psychiatric symptomatology in various diagnostic groups. Nevertheless, challenges related to cultural adaptation and the complexity of treatment delivery persist. It is concluded that DBT provides a systematic and comprehensive approach for the management of emotional dysregulation, although further modifications are warranted to improve its cultural relevance and accessibility.

Abstract

Self disclosure is a critical component of students’ social and emotional development; however, many students experience difficulties in expressing their thoughts and feelings openly, which may hinder interpersonal relationships and psychological well-being. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling using assertive training techniques in enhancing students’ self-disclosure. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed. The participants consisted of five junior high school students identified as having low self-disclosure levels through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a self-disclosure scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired samples t-test, effect size (Cohen’s d), Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and gain score analysis. The data showed that the post-test average for self-disclosure significantly jumped to 94.00 (SD = 2.74) compared to the pre-test average of 58.20 (SD = 1.92). According to the paired samples t-test, the difference was statistically significant (t(4) = -23.403, p <.001). The very large effect size further corroborates this finding (d = -10.466). The gain score analysis also revealed that every individual has made some progress, the mean increment being 35.80 points. At the same time, the study showed that group counseling with assertive training is a very effective way of increasing students' self-disclosure, not only in theory but in practice as well. Moreover, the study reinforces the idea of skill-based counseling as a means to enhance students' communication abilities and to promote more inclusive and responsive school settings.

Abstract

The transition to higher education is a critical period in which first-year students face new academic demands, financial pressures, social adjustment challenges, and uncertainty about the future. However, limited research has examined how freshmen make sense of and narrate their anxiety, particularly in the Indonesian context. This study aimed to explore the main domains of anxiety among first-semester students in Indonesian public universities and to interpret these experiences through a narrative counseling lens. The study employed a qualitative online survey design with an interpretivist orientation. Data were collected from 199 first-semester students through open-ended questions addressing anxiety-provoking situations, sources of anxiety, and the meanings students attached to their early university experiences. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis and subsequently interpreted through a narrative counseling perspective. The findings identified four main themes: academic anxiety (41.8%), financial anxiety (23.1%), social anxiety (9.5%), and career anxiety (4.5%), while 21.1% of participants reported no anxiety. Academic anxiety was the most dominant theme and was primarily associated with adjustment to new learning demands and fear of poor performance. Overall, freshmen anxiety emerged not only as emotional distress but also as a narrative of inadequacy, burden, misfit, and uncertainty. This study highlights the need to understand freshmen anxiety as both a psychological and meaning-making process and underscores the relevance of narrative-informed support in higher education settings.

Abstract

Academic procrastination has become a significant challenge in digital learning environments, particularly among adolescents with high smartphone and social media usage. This study examines the relationship between mobile phone use and academic procrastination among 262 high school students in Indonesia using a cross-sectional survey, narrative review, and network analysis. Results show 75.6% of students exhibit medium and 20.2% high procrastination levels, with "alternative activities" like digital distractions as the main form (M = 15.87, SD = 2.92). No significant differences were found by gender (p = .067) or age (p = .412), but strong positive correlations emerged between gadget use (smartphone), social media, and procrastination (r ≈ 0.70), while family support correlated negatively (r ≈ –0.44). Network analysis identified protective factors such as family and school support, cultural values (gotong royong, pintar tuntang harati), and effective interventions including family counseling (d = 0.71), digital detox (d = 0.65), and school-based programs (d = 0.62), the effect sizes for these interventions were synthesized from the narrative review of existing literature and do not represent empirical findings from the current study. The findings underscore the need for culturally responsive, multi-tiered strategies that integrate self-regulation, digital wellness, and sociocultural support to reduce procrastination in technology-rich educational settings.
