Abstract

The phenomenon of emotional incongruence in Dangdut Koplo, where cheerful melodies are paired with sorrowful lyrics, creates a unique cognitive dissonance that challenges listeners' emotional processing. This juxtaposition is prominent in Didi Kempot's works, blending lively rhythms with melancholic themes of heartbreak and longing. Such contrasting elements evoke strong emotional responses, making the genre a compelling subject for psychological exploration. This study pioneers exploring emotional incongruence in Dangdut Koplo, aiming to replicate and expand upon Stratton and Zalanowski’s findings. Using a quasi-experimental design, 55 psychology students were assessed with PANAS before and after listening to four songs by Didi Kempot. Results revealed a significant increase in Negative Affect (NA) post-exposure, while Positive Affect (PA) remained stable. Regression analysis demonstrated lyrical content had a stronger impact than melody on mood shifts. Participants who related to the lyrics experienced more pronounced negative emotions. Age and gender significantly influenced reactions, highlighting personal and cultural factors. This study provides insights into music's psychological mechanisms and implications for music therapy across diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

Work engagement has become a critical factor in maintaining organizational performance, particularly in the context of unprecedented global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the key drivers of work engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic and their relevance in the post-pandemic era. Using a cross-sectional design, a structural model was developed based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, incorporating job satisfaction as a moderating variable between organizational-personal factors and work engagement. Data were collected from 1,484 public sector employees in Indonesia and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that organizational-personal factors significantly influence job satisfaction and work engagement. Job satisfaction also moderates the relationship between these factors and work engagement, enhancing its impact. The findings highlight the importance of prioritizing health support, skill development, and work-life balance to boost employee motivation and engagement. This research contributes to understanding the evolving dynamics of work engagement amidst global crises and provides actionable insights for human resource management practices. The study underscores the need for adaptive strategies to maintain employee well-being and productivity in changing work environments.

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of Rapid Counseling with Single-Session Music Therapy to reduce anxiety about the thesis in three Atma Jaya Counseling Guidance Students. The subjects of this research were three female students from the class of 2019 who were taking a thesis and had a high level of academic anxiety.

Abstract

The practice of yoga has a long history of being used by practitioners for desired mental and physical benefits. The authors focused on the duality of this psychological and physical benefit when combining yoga with a traditional talk therapy group for individuals to process traumatic experiences. Group curriculum, procedures, and rationale are provided and reviewed. Yoga practices were implemented in this format as a form of expressive arts therapy for clients. This article outlines a therapeutic tool combining principles of yoga and talk therapy based on past research. This is not intended to be an empirical article; however, the information contributes to the current body of literature on yoga as a form of expressive arts therapy for clients with trauma-related presenting issues. The authors share anecdotal evidence of a counselor’s use of yoga in combination with group talk therapy and its perceived effectiveness on participants.

Abstract

So far, the evaluation of writing instruction has not fully considered comprehensive assessment aspects, causing students to struggle in effectively expressing their ideas in writing. Meanwhile, writing skills have become a crucial necessity in today’s era of technological advancement. This study aims to describe the implementation process and evaluation results of the CIPP model in learning writing skills in grade X at SMK Negeri 1 Purworejo for the 2024/2025 academic year. The research was conducted using a qualitative case study approach. Data collection techniques included literature review, observation, and note-taking. The literature review involved analyzing lesson plans designed by teachers, observation was conducted during learning activities, and note-taking was used to document findings from the observations. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results were presented narratively, accompanied by tables and diagrams. The findings indicate a gap between planning and implementation in the evaluation process, yet the average writing skill scores demonstrate success. These findings highlight the importance of evaluation in learning to enhance effective writing skill development.

Abstract

This article describes the rationale and design of a “What is Privilege?” tool designed to help counselor trainees become aware of the privileges they hold and the role these may play in their personal and professional lives. This tool serves as a critical self-awareness assessment instrument that can be used to operationalize the American Counseling Association’s Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competency (MSJCC) framework within counselor education programs, particularly the domain of “counselor self-awareness”. It also serves as a critical training tool that defines the term of “privilege” within three pillars: powers, resources and freedoms, using probing prompts to identify how counselor trainees have experienced these, and/or from which they have benefitted.

Abstract

This study examines ethnoparenting and its role in the moral and religious development of early childhood in the Sundanese transmigrant community in East Lampung. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis in Sukadana Baru Village, Gerem Cempaka Hamlet. Findings reveal that Sundanese cultural values—such as hospitality, cooperation, and respect for elders—are deeply embedded in daily parenting practices. Ethnoparenting significantly shapes children's morality and religiosity, fostering respect for parents and active participation in religious activities. However, modernization and social changes present challenges to maintaining these values. Despite these obstacles, the community continues to integrate cultural traditions into parenting to ensure their preservation for future generations.
