The COVID-19 pandemic has led to various changes that increased a possibility for university students to experience career ambiguity. Those with a high tolerance for career ambiguity perceive ambiguous situations as advantageous and do not reject the complexity of the discrepancy. This study aimed to yield the Indonesian version of the Career Decision Ambiguity Tolerance Scale and examine the construct validity and concurrent validity of the adapted version. This study involved 1256 first-year students (58.7% female, mean age = 18.23 years, SD age = .66) from a public university in Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using measures of ambiguity tolerance in choosing a career, career decision-making self-efficacy, and vocational identity. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to examine the structure of the factor of the final scale, showing good fit indices (CMIN/df = 2.93, CFI = .97, TLI = .96, RMSEA = .04). Reliability coefficients of each the three subscales were satisfactory. Concurrent validity was shown by expected associations with measures of career decision-making self-efficacy and vocational identity.

As the smallest unit of society, the family inevitably encounters various challenges in supporting each member as they navigate their personal developmental tasks. As such, families must develop the ability to persevere through obstacles and adverse events, maintaining their function and role in society while demonstrating family resilience. This study uses an experimental method to investigate the effects of empathic communication training on increasing family resilience. Six families comprising 15 individuals participated in the study conducted in Kulon Progo, Indonesia. The assessment was conducted using a resilience scale and focused group discussion. The result demonstrates a significant increase in family resilience (Z= -2.226, p <0.05) following the emphatic communication training. Therefore, empathic communication training is a feasible alternative for enhancing family resilience.

Previous studies stated that innovative work behavior is negatively affected by perceived stress and positively correlated with work engagement. Work engagement plays an essential role in reducing the effect of perceived stress. This study aims to determine the moderating role of work engagement between perceived stress and innovative work behavior. This research is cross-sectional non-experimental quantitative research. Data were collected among 263 healthcare workers using IWB-9, PSS-10, and UWES-9 as instruments. The data were analyzed with moderation using Hayes’s PROCESS program on SPSS Statistics v22.0.0. This study showed that Work Engagement has no significant role as a moderator on the effect of Perceived Stress on Innovative Work Behavior (t = .14; p = .89 > .05) on healthcare workers. The findings also implied that the negative antecedent variables do not affect innovative work behavior; therefore, the following studies should examine other positive variables on innovative work behavior.

Depression is a psychological condition characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness, hopelessness, emptiness, and despair, which affects an individual's emotional state, thoughts, and behavior. This research aims to determine the extent of depression experienced by students during the post-pandemic while completing their final assignments. The study utilizes a Mixed Method Research (MMR) approach with a Sequential Explanatory design that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. The research participants consist of 200 students from the 2019 class at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. The research was conducted from February 1-20, 2023, and followed up with interviews from February 21-23, 2023. The results reveal that male students experience a higher level of depression than female students. The faculty with the highest number of depressed students is the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication, with 76 students (38%), although the statistical significance is not established. The majority of the students (31.5%) experience moderate depression. The research identifies various factors that contribute to depression, including parental expectations, difficulty in understanding the research materials, lack of references, difficulty in meeting with lecturers, repeating research, financial constraints, loss, and laziness among students.
