Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory in overcoming anxiety and learning difficulties of students at Pesantren Darul Ulum II Bujur Tengah Pamekasan. The approach used is qualitative with a case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the anxiety experienced by students stems from psychodynamic conflicts between the id, ego, and superego, which are reinforced by childhood trauma, high moral pressure, and rigid authoritative relationships. Students' learning difficulties are more due to emotional repression, developmental fixation, and weak ego in managing academic and spiritual pressures. To answer this problem, a three-stage applied psychoanalytic model was formulated: psychodynamic exploration, conflict clarification, and reconstruction of learning strategies. This model is integrated with Islamic values ​​such as muhasabah and tafakur to make it more contextual and acceptable in the culture of Pesantren. Limited application shows the effectiveness of this approach in reducing anxiety and improving the quality of students' learning. Thus, psychoanalysis can be an alternative, integrative and humanistic approach in Pesantren education system which has tended to be normative and dogmatic.

Abstract

This literature study aims to identify and analyze various strategies that can improve students' learning motivation and learning responsibility, two crucial, interrelated aspects that influence the achievement of learning outcomes. Despite their importance, many students face challenges in maintaining both of these aspects. The results from the analysis of several journals indicate that learning motivation can be effectively increased through group guidance and counseling services. Proven effective approaches include group guidance with role playing, psychodrama, and modeling techniques. Additionally, group counseling with the positive reinforcement and self-regulation techniques is effective, as is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Meanwhile, to improve students' learning responsibility, recommended approaches are reality counseling, including those based on the WDEP technique, the behavior contract technique, and the shaping technique. The combination of strong motivation and high responsibility will result in students who are more engaged, disciplined, and better able to cope with academic challenges. By combining strong motivation and high responsibility, students are expected to become more engaged, confident, and capable of coping well with academic challenges.

Abstract

This study advances Islamic counseling scholarship by proposing a model that respects clients religious worldviews while empowering them to find personal meaning, emotional resilience, and spiritual fulfillment. In a time when religious identity and psychological well-being are closely intertwined, particularly in Muslim-majority societies, integrating Islamic values with evidence-based humanistic techniques is not only beneficial but also essential. Existential anxiety is a profound form of psychological distress triggered by confronting fundamental questions of death, purpose, and the meaning of existence. This study explores the role of religion in helping individuals in religious societies cope with existential anxiety and pursue life meaning through a humanistic psychological lens. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected via in-depth interviews with 12 adult Muslim participants who had experienced existential crises. Thematic analysis yielded three core themes: (1) religious narratives as existential anchors; (2) rituals as buffers against death anxiety and meaninglessness; and (3) spiritual reflection as a path to inner reconciliation. Findings suggest that religion serves not only as a spiritual coping mechanism, but also as a comprehensive framework for meaning-making that integrates humanistic values such as self-actualization and transcendence within a divine context. These insights contribute to the development of meaning-centered Islamic counseling models that blend logotherapeutic techniques with Islamic spiritual principles.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effect of work stress and emotional intelligence on Work-Life Balance (WLB) among the Generation Z workforce (aged 18–27) in Blitar. Generation Z is a productive group of workers who prioritize meaning and flexibility in their work, but they face significant challenges in managing high work pressure. This quantitative study involved 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis after fulfilling the classical assumption prerequisite tests (normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity). The hypothesis testing results indicate that, simultaneously, work stress and emotional intelligence significantly influence WLB. This is supported by an F-test value of 52.438, which is greater than the F-table value of 3.09, with a significance value of 0.000. The R Square value of 0.520 suggests that these two variables contribute 52% to WLB, while the remaining 48% is influenced by other factors. Partially (T-test), work stress showed a negative and significant effect (t-count = $-8.747$; Sig. = 0.000) on WLB, meaning that an increase in work stress will decrease WLB. Meanwhile, emotional intelligence showed a positive effect on WLB, although it was not statistically significant (t-count = 1.706; Sig. = 0.091). These findings reinforce the need for effective stress management and the constructive role of emotional intelligence in maintaining the balance between professional demands and personal needs for Generation Z.

Abstract

The phenomenon of global migration has encouraged Muslims to settle in various countries with non-Muslim majorities, including Taiwan. In this multicultural and secular country, immigrant Muslim communities face challenges in maintaining their Islamic values amidst the flow of cultural acculturation and pressures of social integration. In this context, Muslim communities, particularly those under the auspices of the Pingtung Branch of PCINU, play a crucial role as agents of non-formal education that strengthen religious identity. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to explore the dynamics of non-formal education carried out by immigrant Muslim communities in Taiwan. The results show that religious activities such as regular religious study groups, quranic recitation, commemoration of Islamic holidays, skills training based on Islamic values, and social activities based on charity and mutual cooperation held at the end of each month, serve as important vehicles for the transmission of Islamic values. More than just religious rituals, these activities create participatory and contextual learning spaces for immigrant Muslims to revitalize their self-confidence as Muslims in a culturally diverse environment. This non-formal education has also successfully strengthened solidarity among community members, increased social awareness, and fostered cultural dialogue with the local community. Thus, the Muslim community in Taiwan has not only survived but also actively contributed to creating a harmonious and inclusive religious life.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of group counseling cognitive restructuring techniques to reduce academic anxiety using the mixed methods embedded experimental model. Using an academic anxiety scale with research subjects consisting of 14 people who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The average pretest result for the experimental group = 105.4, the control group = 105.7 and after being given the treatment, the average posttest for the experimental group = 80.28 and the control group = 90.14. The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test are Z = -2,371 with a p value of 0.018. The p value is less than 0.05 (0.183 <0.05), thus Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, which means that group counseling is an effective cognitive restructuring technique for reducing academic anxiety. Qualitatively seen from the analysis of counseling conversations with high academic anxiety focused on feeling depressed, elements of one's abilities, fear, worry, demands around, dislike, lack of confidence. Changes that occur lead to the high category to the medium to low category. This shows that group counseling interventions with cognitive restructuring techniques have a therapeutic impact on counselors.

Abstract

Violent theft is a type of crime that still has a high incidence rate in Indonesia and causes complex social impacts. Criminal behavior in committing unlawful acts is not only influenced by economic factors, but also related to the psychological aspects of the perpetrator that affect their way of thinking, decision making, and control of behavioral impulses. This study aims to analyze the personality structure of perpetrators of violent theft based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic perspective, particularly the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method on three prisoners at the Klaten Class IIB Prison. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive picture of the subjects' backgrounds and psychological dynamics. The data obtained was then analyzed inductively using source triangulation to obtain the validity of the findings. The results showed that each perpetrator had a different personality structure. Subject 1 showed a weak superego function at the time of the crime, which was followed by the emergence of a post-event superego in the form of inner conflict and guilt. Subject 2 showed a dominant ego oriented towards realistic considerations in fulfilling life needs, while subject 3 tended to show weak ego control with a dominant impulsive id drive. However, all subjects showed an imbalance in the interaction between the id, ego, and superego in the decision-making process prior to committing the crime.

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of low student discipline at SMK Negeri 1 Nanga Pinoh, which is reflected in frequent tardiness, incomplete school uniforms, leaving the classroom without permission, and lack of order during learning activities. Initial measurements using a student discipline psychological scale indicated that discipline levels were in the low category, with the weakest aspects being discipline in submitting assignments and social discipline. This study aimed to identify students’ discipline conditions prior to intervention, describe the implementation of group guidance services using behavior contract techniques, and analyze improvements in student discipline after the intervention. The research employed Guidance and Counseling Action Research (PTBK) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of three meetings. The intervention was implemented through group guidance services integrated with behavior contract techniques, emphasizing written agreements on expected disciplined behaviors formulated collaboratively between students and counselors. The study was carried out collaboratively with the school counselor to evaluate both the process and outcomes of the intervention. Research instruments included a discipline psychological scale, observation sheets, interview guidelines, and documentation. The results showed a significant improvement in student discipline. In Cycle I, discipline achievement reached 44% and was categorized as moderate. After improvements were implemented in Cycle II, discipline increased to 74% and was categorized as good. Psychological scale results indicated a 57.5% improvement across measured aspects and a 32.5% increase between pre-test and post-test scores. These findings demonstrate that group guidance using behavior contract techniques is effective in strengthening student discipline.

Abstract

The Hajj pilgrimage constitutes a complex cross-cultural journey that demands significant social and psychological adjustment from participants. For Indonesian pilgrims, profound differences in language, cultural norms, and environmental conditions often trigger multidimensional acculturative stress, which can jeopardize both their personal well-being and the spiritual quality of their worship. Consequently, this study was conducted to identify the critical factors contributing to this stress and to analyze the specific social adaptation strategies employed by pilgrims to maintain their equilibrium in Saudi Arabia. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research focuses on the lived experiences of three elderly Indonesian pilgrims aged over 50 years. The findings reveal that participants encountered significant stressors across five distinct dimensions: physical, biological, social, cultural, and functional. Physically, the extreme arid climate led to exhaustion and dizziness, necessitating strategies such as hydration and activity regulation. Biologically, foreign dietary patterns caused decreased appetite, while social isolation and homesickness emerged from pervasive language barriers. Culturally, the pilgrims grappled with divergent communication styles and strict social norms that provoked anxiety. Functionally, navigating foreign currency and complex transportation systems created additional hurdles. To overcome these pressures, the pilgrims implemented a combination of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping mechanisms, including cognitive reframing, reliance on national group support, and nonverbal communication. Ultimately, these adaptive strategies fostered behavioral adjustment and acculturative resilience, enabling the pilgrims to perform their religious rituals with safety and optimal spiritual focus despite the challenging environment.

Abstract

Sexual violence in higher education constitutes a multidimensional problem that extends beyond regulatory and policy frameworks to encompass students’ psychological processes, particularly during the critical transition into university life. This study critically examines first-year students’ self-awareness of sexual violence in the university context and conceptualizes conscious silence as a distinct psychological response situated between awareness and agency, drawing on a Guidance and Counseling perspective. Employing a quantitative descriptive-analytic design, data were collected from 352 first-year students at Universitas PGRI Kanjurhan Malang during the 2025–2026 academic year using a Guttman-scale questionnaire assessing awareness, perceptions, lived experiences, contributory factors, and institutional services and policies related to sexual violence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage distributions and response tendency patterns. The findings reveal a paradoxical condition of being aware but not empowered. While a majority of students (64.2%) had never participated in sexual violence prevention training and only 40.2% demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of sexual violence forms, a substantial proportion (82.4%) reported having witnessed or heard about sexual violence incidents, frequently responding with silence. These results indicate that silence functions not as ignorance, but as a psychologically informed yet constrained response shaped by limited agency, perceived risk, and insufficient response competencies.
