Abstract

Purpose: to develop and validate an IRT-based graded response model (GRM) instrument for assessing honesty and discipline among junior secondary school students. Method: This study employed a research and development (R&D) approach involving 226 junior secondary school students. A 30-item likert instrument was evaluated using Aiken’s V, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and the graded response model (GRM) to examine its validity, item characteristics, model fit, and measurement precision. Findings: the developed instrument demonstrated strong content and construct validity, high internal consistency, and good item functioning. The GRM analysis indicated that the items had strong discrimination and satisfactory model fit, while the Test Information Function showed adequate measurement precision, particularly across the lower-to-middle levels of honesty and discipline. Overall, the instrument is suitable for diagnostic and early assessment of students’ honesty and discipline. Implications: the study provides a psychometrically sound and evidence-based instrument for assessing students’ honesty and discipline, supporting more objective character assessment and data-informed character education practices in junior secondary schools. Originality: lies in the integration of character-based indicators of honesty and discipline with an Item response theory–graded response model (IRT-GRM) to develop a more precise and objective affective assessment instrument for junior secondary school students.

Abstract

Purpose: to analyze research trends, publication patterns, collaboration networks, thematic clusters, and emerging research directions concerning the relationship between smart cities and government service development during the 2015–2025 period. Method: This study employs a bibliometric analysis combined with the PRISMA framework to systematically identify, screen, and analyze relevant literature on smart cities and government service development published between 2015 and 2025. A total of 67 eligible publications were analyzed to identify publication trends, contributing countries, journals, authors, subject areas, collaboration networks, and thematic clusters. Findings: smart city and government service research is increasingly multidisciplinary, with Indonesia and China as leading contributors. The main themes focus on communication technology and e-governance, as well as accountability and public administration, indicating a shift toward integrated and citizen-oriented smart government. Implications: these findings can support policymakers in designing more inclusive, secure, and responsive smart government strategies. Originality: lies in its decade-long bibliometric mapping of smart city and government service research, integrating technological, governance, and stakeholder perspectives to identify dominant themes, research networks, and emerging directions.

Abstract

Purpose: to empirically examine the effect of managerial ownership, capital structure, and tax avoidance on firm value in property and real estate companies. Method: this study employed a quantitative associative approach using secondary data obtained from the annual reports of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2019–2024. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 11 companies with 66 observations. Data were analyzed using panel data regression with EViews 12, including descriptive statistics, model selection tests, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing. Findings: managerial ownership has a significant negative effect on firm value, while capital structure and tax avoidance have no significant effect on firm value. However, managerial ownership, capital structure, and tax avoidance jointly have a significant effect on firm value. The model explains only a limited proportion of the variation in firm value, suggesting that other factors outside the model may play a larger role in determining firm value. Implications: companies should strengthen corporate governance, managerial accountability, and prudent financial and tax management to support firm value. Originality: by examining the effects of managerial ownership, capital structure, and tax avoidance on firm value in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2024.

Abstract

Purpose: to explore self-regulation among the Ammatoa Kajang Indigenous community through the internalization of Pasang ri Kajang values. Method: this study employed a qualitative intrinsic case study design involving six members of the Ammatoa Kajang Indigenous community in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Data credibility was strengthened through source triangulation, member checking, and an audit trail. Findings: self-regulation among the Ammatoa Kajang community was deeply shaped by the internalization of Pasang ri Kajang. Four main themes emerged: adherence to custom, cultural identity, simplicity of life (kamase-masea), and the impact of modernization. Self-regulation operated through self-observation, self-judgment, and self-reaction, enabling individuals to monitor, evaluate, and adjust their behavior in accordance with customary values while selectively adapting to social change. Implications: contributes to indigenous psychology by demonstrating that self-regulation is culturally embedded and can be shaped by indigenous value systems. Originality: lies in linking Bandura’s self-regulation framework with Pasang ri Kajang as an indigenous value system, highlighting how customary values are internalized and transformed into culturally grounded mechanisms of self-regulation.

Abstract

Purpose: to examine whether loneliness significantly predicts parasocial relationships among young adult genshin impact players. Method: this study used a quantitative predictive correlational design involving 218 young adult genshin impact players aged 18–40 years. Data were collected using the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 and the multiple parasocial relationship scale, adapted to the genshin impact context. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression to examine whether loneliness significantly predicted parasocial relationships. Findings: loneliness significantly and positively predicted parasocial relationships among young adult genshin impact players. However, loneliness explained only a small proportion of the variance in parasocial relationships, indicating that other factors also contribute to the development of parasocial relationships. Implications: to a broader understanding of parasocial relationships by highlighting the psychological relevance of loneliness in players’ emotional involvement with fictional game characters. Originality: this study provides novel evidence on the predictive role of loneliness in parasocial relationships with fictional and interactive game characters, specifically among young adult genshin impact players.

Abstract

Purpose: to examine the relationship between peer social support and academic stress among working parallel-class students at Universitas Esa Unggul who were completing their undergraduate theses. Method: this study employed a quantitative, non-experimental design involving 157 working parallel-class students at Universitas Esa Unggul who were completing their undergraduate theses. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) and a peer social support scale and analyzed using simple linear regression. Findings: peer social support significantly and negatively predicted academic stress among working students completing their undergraduate theses. Peer social support accounted for 8.4% of the variance in academic stress, indicating that higher peer social support was associated with lower academic stress. Implications: peer social support is an interpersonal resource for managing academic stress among working students completing their undergraduate theses and suggests the need for universities to strengthen peer-based academic and emotional support systems. Originality: lies in its focus on the role of peer social support in academic stress among working parallel-class students completing their undergraduate theses, a population that has received limited attention in previous research, particularly at Universitas Esa Unggul.
