Abstract

The transition to higher education requires substantial adaptability, and inadequate adjustment may intensify homesickness among first-year migrant students. This cross-sectional correlational study examined the association between homesickness and academic stress among 310 first-year migrant students at Universitas Negeri Semarang (aged 18–20 years) recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Student-Life Stress Inventory and the Homesickness Questionnaire. Given non-normal score distributions, Spearman’s rho correlation was applied. Results indicated a significant, moderate positive association between homesickness and academic stress (rs = .479, p < .001). Thus, students reporting greater homesickness also reported higher perceived academic stress while living away from home. These findings underscore the need for universities to provide early screening and targeted adjustment support e.g., orientation-based transition assistance and psychoeducational programs to help migrant students manage emotional transitions and mitigate academic stress.

Abstract

Cyber aggression in the context of social media has been widely studied. However, research explicitly examining the spillover of aggression from social media into real world behavior through news exposure, particularly in the form of initial unprovoked aggression, remains limited. Doomscrolling is assumed to increase initial unprovoked aggression, whereas emotion regulation is expected to attenuate its intensity. This study aimed to examine the moderating roles of emotion regulation and doomscrolling in the effect of news type on initial unprovoked aggression. A mixed experimental design with a quantitative approach was employed, involving 157 participants. Doomscrolling was measured using a self-report, whereas initial unprovoked aggression was assessed using the Competitive Reaction Time Task (CRTT). Data were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model (LMM) in RStudio. The results indicated that news type did not have a significant effect on initial unprovoked aggression (B = 0.16, SE = 0.20, p = .429, 95% CI [−0.22, 0.60]). The three-way interaction among news type, emotion regulation strategy, and doomscrolling was also not significant, F(3, 306) = 1.65, p = .179.

Abstract

Stunting remains a persistent public health concern in urban Semarang, Central Java; however, mothers’ coping processes are still weakly operationalized in prior research. While the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) offers a useful lens for understanding how people make health-related decisions, it is better understood as a social–cognitive decision-making framework than a full coping model, and the real-world links between seeking health information, responding to it, and taking action to prevent stunting have rarely been put to the test. This study set out to explore how maternal health information seeking, viewed here as a form of cognitive coping, relates to stunting prevention practices, drawing on the TRA to understand how gathering information might lead mothers to take deliberate preventive steps. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 337 mothers from Central Java, Indonesia. Structured questionnaires were used to assess health information-seeking behavior, social media utilization, family health communication, and stunting prevention practices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Most mothers reported moderate to high information-seeking (51.6% moderate; 46.9% high) and high prevention practices (66.2%). Information seeking was strongly associated with stunting prevention practices (χ² = 98.612, df = 4, p < .001). Social media use was also significantly related to information seeking (χ² = 116.428, df = 4, p < .001). In addition, 73.9% received information related to stunting during pregnancy, and 90.2% reported intensive family health communication. These findings suggest that health information seeking functions as an effective cognitive coping mechanism that shapes maternal stunting prevention behaviors. Digital health interventions leveraging social media and strengthening family communication may enhance maternal coping and improve prevention outcomes in the future.

Abstract

This study aimed to adapt the Subjective Value Inventory (SVI) developed by Jared R. Curhan (2006) into the Indonesian language and cultural context. The SVI is designed to measure individuals’ subjective evaluations of the psychological and relational quality of negotiation outcomes. The psychometric properties of the instrument were examined using data collected from 258 participants (M_age = 30.59, SD = 9.31). Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The results indicated that the best-fitting measurement model was the refined three-factor SVI model, consisting of 11 items. Convergent validity analysis demonstrated that SVI scores were significantly correlated with trust, subjective disconfirmation, interpersonal justice, informational justice, and outcome satisfaction. Predictive validity analysis further revealed that the Global SVI score significantly predicted willingness to negotiate, with a stronger predictive effect than informational justice and interpersonal justice. In addition, measurement invariance analysis showed that the instrument demonstrated equivalent psychometric properties across male and female groups. These findings support the reliability and validity of the Indonesian version of the SVI as a robust instrument for assessing subjective value in negotiation contexts.

Abstract

Bipolar disorder in adolescence can disrupt emotional regulation, identity development, and social functioning during a critical transition to adulthood. This phenomenological study explored adolescents’ lived experiences of bipolar disorder within the mental health recovery process in Yogyakarta. Three adolescents diagnosed with bipolar disorder participated in in-depth interviews complemented by observational notes. Data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis approach. Participants understood recovery as a dynamic, ongoing effort to manage emotions, rebuild routines, and maintain hope rather than complete symptom remission. Mood fluctuations were experienced as rapid, intense, and unpredictable shifts that drained energy, interfered with school and daily activities, and strained relationships with peers and family. Stigma emerged as a central psychosocial barrier: public stigma and environmental misunderstanding, together with self-stigma, promoted concealment, social withdrawal, and ambivalence toward seeking help. Despite these pressures, participants described coping and support as protective resources, including self-monitoring and reflection, journaling, routine management, and support from family and mental health professionals. These findings imply that adolescent services should be recovery-oriented, integrating mood monitoring and sleep/routine stabilization with stigma reduction, family psychoeducation, school-based mental health literacy, and accessible psychosocial support. Programs that strengthen coping skills and supportive relationships are recommended to improve sustained adjustment and recovery trajectories.

Abstract

High teacher turnover and increasingly complex professional demands in early childhood education highlight the need to strengthen kindergarten teachers’ commitment. This study tested whether psychological capital predicts teacher commitment indirectly through meaning of work and examined the moderating roles of compassion and principal leadership practices on the meaning of work–commitment association. Data were obtained from 540 kindergarten teachers nested within 176 schools using multistage random sampling and analyzed using multilevel modeling. Psychological capital significantly predicted meaning of work (β = 0.343, p < .001), and meaning of work significantly predicted teacher commitment (β = 0.385, p < .001). The indirect effect of psychological capital on commitment through meaning of work was also significant (indirect effect = 0.132, p = .008). In contrast, the interaction terms for principal leadership practices × meaning of work (β = 0.273, p = .117) and compassion × meaning of work (β = −0.101, p = .277) were not significant. Overall, the findings underscore teachers’ psychological resources and perceived work meaning as key correlates of commitment in early childhood education, while the hypothesized strengthening roles of compassion and leadership practices were not supported in this model. The results are broadly consistent with Social Cognitive Theory and suggest that interventions cultivating psychological capital and enhancing work meaning may help foster sustained teacher commitment.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning model based on sensory play using natural materials to improve fine motor skills in early childhood at Metta Karunia Kindergarten School. The model was developed using a Research and Development (R&D) approach through the ADDIE model stages (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The model is designed to provide a fun and meaningful learning experience through the exploration of natural materials such as sand, seeds, clay, and gonggong shells. The research results show that the developed learning model is highly valid, with media validation at 81% (fairly valid), material validation at 93% (very valid), and instrument validation at 91% (very valid). The practicality test resulted in a score of 95% (very practical), while the model's effectiveness in improving children's fine motor skills reached 93% (very effective). The final product of this research is a learning model guide that can be used by teachers in thematic learning activities, particularly on the theme of the natural environment. The implications of this study indicate that using sensory play based on natural materials not only supports the development of fine motor skills but also strengthens the values of cooperation and children's creativity. This model is feasible for broader implementation and further development in other learning themes.
