Abstract

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying conducted through electronic media. This behavior involves cruel actions intentionally directed at others by sending or posting harmful materials and engaging in other forms of social aggression. Many factors influence cyberbullying behavior, both from within the individual and from their environment. Cyberbullying can have serious effects on victims, such as stress, depression, and even the risk of suicide. Based on this, there is a need for services to reduce cyberbullying behavior. One service that can be offered is group counseling through Cognitive Behavior Art Therapy. This model integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with art therapy, providing students the opportunity to understand and manage their emotions and improve thought patterns that may contribute to cyberbullying behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the prevalence of dating violence among 11th-grade high school students in Banjar City. Utilizing a quantitative method with a descriptive design, the study involved a sample of 489 students. The instrument employed was the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) based on Wolfe’s concept, which measures various dimensions of violence, including physical violence, threatening behavior, sexual violence, relational aggression, and emotional and verbal abuse. Results indicated that 91% of students fall into the low category as perpetrators, while 85.89% of victims also experience low levels of violence, characterized by milder forms of abuse. Further analysis revealed significant differences between male and female students in the emotional and verbal violence dimension, with female students exhibiting higher levels than male students. The study concludes that dating violence among high school students in Banjar City is generally low; however, attention through counseling services and education on healthy relationships remains necessary to prevent further escalation of violence.

Abstract

The turbulent sexual development of adolescents and their high curiosity about sexuality lead some teenagers to choose cybersex to satisfy their sexual desires. Cybersex is a behavior performed for sexual pleasure through media with internet connections stored in gadgets or computers, making it easier for some teenagers to access sexual content. Therefore, guidance and supervision from family, peer groups, schools, and school counselors are needed to provide information and help plan a better self-concept. Cybersex also has three categories: high addiction, moderate addiction, and low addiction. This behavior can result in emotional, social, and addiction-related disturbances that hinder development. Reality counseling is a service focused on current behavior. The WDEP method (Wants, Direction, Evaluation, Plan) helps students understand their behavior, control sexual impulses, and make healthier decisions by emphasizing individual responsibility and focusing on the present condition. It is expected that this service will improve students' self-control and reduce cybersex addiction.

Abstract

Public speaking ability is not without its challenges. One of the most common challenges is public speaking anxiety. Public speaking anxiety is a social communication disorder characterized by feelings of fear and worry when speaking in front of a large audience. This study utilized an experimental research design with a single-case research design (SCRD) using an A-B-A pattern to determine the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Counseling in reducing public speaking anxiety. The subjects of this study consisted of three students (N=3) who experienced severe public speaking anxiety and held irrational beliefs. The REBT intervention was provided in six sessions. Data were collected before, during, and after the intervention using the Nonoverlap of All Pairs (NAP) calculation to measure the effectiveness of the intervention. The results of this study showed a significant reduction in public speaking anxiety scores following the implementation of REBT counseling. This was evidenced by the effect size and RCI (Reliable Change Index) scores, which indicated significant and reliable changes. Thus, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy was proven to be effective in reducing public speaking anxiety.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of classical guidance based on a mindful self-compassion program on improving adolescents’ quality of life. Employing a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design, the intervention was delivered over a six-week period, with each session lasting approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Participants completed the Adolescent Quality of Life Inventory (AQoLI) prior to and following the intervention. A total of 21 participants took part in both the pre- and post-intervention assessments. The findings revealed a significant improvement in overall quality of life, with a large effect size observed (d = 0.62). Additionally, notable improvements were identified in specific domains, including self-functioning (d = 0.49), social functioning (d = 0.47), and personal growth (d = 0.67). These results support the initial hypothesis that participants would experience enhanced quality of life following the intervention. While these findings are promising, the study's limitations should be noted. The small sample size and absence of a control group constrain the generalizability of the results. Further research employing randomized controlled trial designs and follow-up assessments is warranted to confirm the efficacy of mindful self-compassion programs in promoting adolescents’ quality of life

Abstract

Prescription drug abuse is a serious issue in the field of mental health, impacting various aspects of an individual's life, including psychological dimensions such as irrational beliefs. This study aims to explore the manifestation of irrational beliefs in individuals with prescription drug addiction. A qualitative approach was employed using a case study design. The research involved two participants who had experienced prescription drug addiction and undergone a rehabilitation process. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the participants held irrational beliefs in the form of negative self-perceptions, a belief that drugs are the solution to all problems, and intolerance to emotional discomfort. These beliefs were shaped by past experiences, environmental influences, and a lack of emotional support. The findings emphasize the importance of cognitive interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in addressing irrational beliefs as part of the recovery process from addiction.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of happiness among adolescents experiencing grief symptoms. The research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 125 adolescents, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were the Prolonged Grief Disorder – Revised (PG-13-R) to identify grief symptoms and the PERMA Profiler to measure happiness levels. The findings showed that the majority of students  were in the normal grief category (77.6%), while 10.4% experienced syndromal level symptomatology and 12% were classified as prolonged grief disorder. Regarding happiness levels, most students were in the moderate category (74.4%), with smaller proportions in the low (12.8%) and high (12.8%) categories. These results indicate that although most adolescents are in the normal grief category and show moderate happiness levels, preventive efforts and counseling interventions are still needed to enhance their happiness.

Abstract

Marriage is an important developmental stage in early adulthood that requires emotional, psychological, social, and financial readiness. Empirical evidence shows that many students want to get married at a young age without adequate preparation, which can potentially lead to conflict and disharmony. This study aims to determine the readiness of students in Tasikmalaya City to marry based on the early adulthood age group (18–25 years) and gender, as well as to formulate implications for premarital guidance and counseling in higher education. This descriptive quantitative study involved 511 students selected through simple random sampling. The instrument used was the PREPARE Inventory (Fowers & Olson, 1992), adapted by Darajatun (2024), consisting of 11 psychosocial dimensions with a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis used descriptive statistics in the form of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results showed that 49.5% of students were in the high to very high marriage readiness category, while 50.5% were in the low to very low category. The aspects with the lowest scores included financial management, sexual relationships, and religious orientation. These findings emphasize the need for structured classical counseling services to strengthen students' emotional readiness, relational skills, and financial and spiritual readiness as preparation for entering married life.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of ambiguous loss among college students. A quantitative approach with a descriptive design was employed. The sample consisted of 277 students selected through purposive sampling. The Ambiguous Loss Inventory Plus (ALI+) was used to identify the forms and levels of ambiguous loss experienced by the participants. The findings indicate that most students fell into the low (43.68%) and moderate (29.24%) categories, while the remaining participants were classified into the high (16.61%) and very high (10.47%) categories. In terms of psychological reactions, the highest scores were observed in the dimensions of intrusive and acute emotions, perceptual distortions and difficulties in adaptation, as well as impacts on the self and social relationships. These results suggest that although the majority of students experience relatively low levels of ambiguous loss, the emotional and cognitive impacts remain notably significant.

Abstract

Forgiveness and personal peacefulness are two essential indicators of positive mental health, supporting adolescents’ capacity to adapt to academic, social, and emotional demands. This study aimed to examine the relationship between personal peacefulness and forgiveness among high school students. A cross-sectional quantitative design with a correlational approach was applied, involving 359 adolescents selected through purposive sampling. Personal peacefulness was assessed using the standardized Self Perception Scale (SPS), while forgiveness was measured using the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS). The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between personal peacefulness and forgiveness (r = 0.593), with the dimensions of self-forgiveness and situational forgiveness contributing most substantially to multiple aspects of personal peacefulness. These results confirm that adolescents with higher forgiveness capacities toward self, others, and adverse situations tend to report greater levels of personal peacefulness. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of developing forgiveness-based and positive psychology interventions within school guidance and counseling services to foster adolescents’ mental well-being.
