<![CDATA[Adolescent victims of bullying often struggle to socialize and often experience some unpleasant feeling such as sense of uselessness, lack of confidence, anxiety, loneliness, sadness, and even suicide attempt. This study sought to investigate how family functioning, friendship quality, and resilience influence the psychological well-being of adolescents who had been bullied. This quantitative study involved 371 junior high school adolescents from Surakarta who had experienced bullying. Data were gathered using a validated family functioning measure, friendship quality scale, resilience scale, and psychological well-being scale. The data were then analyzed using the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings suggest that despite their low predictive accuracies, all three variables have great predictive power and may considerably explain the effect of predictor factors on the adolescents’ psychological well-being of who are bullied. Current study's practical implications include that stakeholders, such as parents, teachers, and psychology practitioners, should pay attention to and develop these qualities in order to enhance the psychological well-being of adolescents who are bullied.]]>

<![CDATA[Resilience is a crucial aspect that is closely related to the mental health of children and adolescents. The development of measurements related to resilience can be the first step to be able to conduct accurate psychological assessments and develop strategies to strengthen resilience. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The analysis was conducted on a sample of 1,087 high school students from the Surakarta area. The initial CFA model for the resilience scale showed a good fit (RMSEA = 0.073; SRMR = 0.055; CFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.95, GFI = 0.90). Model fit means that the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) model is supported by empirical data and supports the theoretical structure. The scale also met the criteria of convergent and discriminant validity, as well as reliability, in explaining the dimensions of resilience: personal competence, trust in instinct, acceptance of change, control, and spirituality. Among these dimensions, spirituality, personal competence, and trust had the highest reflective weight, followed by acceptance and control. In conclusion, this study confirmed that the Indonesian version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a valid and reliable tool for measuring resilience among senior high school students. Therefore, this scale can be used in conducting accurate psychological assessments in order to build strategies to strengthen resilience in adolescents. ]]>

<![CDATA[Reverse Culture Shock (RCS) is a psychosocial challenge experienced by individuals returning to their home country after participating in a program abroad. This study aims to examine the effect of RCS on psychological distress, with psychological capital acting as a mediating variable.This research employed a quantitative survey design and utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for data analysis. Data were collected using the DASS-21 scale, the Psychological Capital (PsyCap) scale, and the Reverse Culture Shock scale. The population consisted of 1,980 awardees of the 2023 Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA), with a sample of 316 students selected through random sampling. The results revealed that RCS had a significant negative effect on psychological capital (β = -0.427; p < .001) and a significant positive effect on psychological distress (β = 0.348; p < .001). Psychological capital also had a significant negative effect on psychological distress (β = -0.368; p < .001). Furthermore, a partial mediation effect of psychological capital was found in the relationship between RCS and psychological distress (β = 0.157; VAF = 31.1%; p < .01). These findings suggest that higher levels of RCS are associated with greater psychological distress, but psychological capital can buffer this negative impact. The study highlights the importance of psychological interventions that strengthen internal psychological resources to support re-adaptation after cross-cultural experiences. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study examined the relationship between neuroticism and phubbing among university students and explored the moderating role of gender. Guided by the stress and coping model and personality theory, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 236 Indonesian students (53% female; 85.8% aged 20–23) using validated measures: the Generic Scale of Phubbing and the IPIP-BFM-25 emotional stability subscale. Descriptive analysis showed that phubbing scores were notably right-skewed, with a mean of 53.2 (SD = 17.94) and a higher median of 66.0. Neuroticism significantly predicted phubbing behavior (Estimate = 2.369, SE = 0.120, 95% CI [2.133, 2.605], p < .001), while gender showed no main effect (p = .120) and did not moderate the neuroticism–phubbing relationship (interaction p = .093). Independent t-tests and Mann–Whitney U tests confirmed no significant gender differences in either phubbing or neuroticism levels. These findings suggest that neuroticism is a more robust predictor of phubbing than gender, likely due to differences in emotional regulation. Given the use of convenience sampling and a cross-sectional design, the generalizability of findings is limited. Targeted interventions focusing on emotional coping may be effective in reducing phubbing, especially among individuals high in neuroticism.]]>

<![CDATA[Mental health literacy is regarded as a significant factor influencing an individual's intention to seek professional psychological help when confronted with mental health issues. The elevated psychosocial risks inherent to the profession of healthcare work render these individuals particularly susceptible to mental health issues, with a higher prevalence observed among females. This study aims to assess the relationship between mental health literacy and mental help-seeking intention among female healthcare workers, and to explore potential associations between sociodemographic characteristics and these variables. Methods: A total of 140 female healthcare workers were surveyed. The data collection instrument included socio-demographic characteristics, Mental Health Literacy (MHL), and Mental Help-Seeking Intention Scale (MHSIS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson correlation, simple and multiple linear regression. The results showed that mental health literacy showed a significant positive correlation with mental help-seeking intention (r = 0.395, p < 0.001). Simple linear regression indicated MHL significantly predicted help-seeking intention (β = 0.395, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression controlling for age, tenure, and marital status confirmed MHL remained a significant predictor (β = 0.375, p < 0.001). However, Kruskal-Wallis tests found no significant differences in variables by socio-demographic factors (p > 0.05). The findings highlight the importance of mental health literacy in influencing an individual’s intention to seek professional help. Although socio-demographic factors showed no significant effect, mental health literacy remains a key factor in addressing mental health issues among female healthcare workers.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescent fatherhood, particularly in the context of unplanned pregnancies, presents unique challenges that disrupt educational and linguistic development. This study explored the lived experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of young fathers in relation to learning English as a second language. Using a qualitative multiple case study design, five adolescent fathers from public and alternative learning institutions in Mindanao, Philippines, were purposively selected. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using Colaizzi’s thematic method with member checking and triangulation to ensure rigor. Findings revealed struggles with English proficiency, comprehension difficulties, and emotional strain, but also highlighted persistence, child-driven motivation, and adaptive time management as coping strategies. The study extends Role Conflict Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Ecological Systems Theory by illuminating how adolescent fathers negotiate competing roles. Practical implications include designing flexible class schedules, providing targeted ESL tutoring, and implementing school- and community-based support programs for young fathers.]]>

<![CDATA[Mental health constitutes a fundamental and essential component of overall well-being. Particular attention must be given to mental health concerns, especially among vulnerable adolescent populations. Epidemiological data indicate a cyclical rise in the prevalence of mental health problem, which may be mitigated through improved mental health literacy. This study aims to examine the relationship between mental health literacy and mental health status among health students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 380 health students from three health polytechnic institutions. Instruments included the SRQ-20 and the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (MHLq-SVa). The findings indicate a statistically significant association between mental health literacy levels and reported symptoms of mental-emotional disorders (p = 0.025). These results underscore the importance of integrating mental health literacy into the health education curriculum to promote early recognition and appropriate help-seeking behaviors. ]]>

<![CDATA[Turnover is a persistent issue within organizations. Its impact can have both direct and indirect effects on the company. A high rate of turnover intention can lead to instability in the organizational structure, which may subsequently decrease the effectiveness and efficiency of the company’s operations. This study examines the roles of job satisfaction and job stress in mediating the relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intention. The research employs a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional study design. The characteristic population for this study consists of oil palm harvester employees at PT XY, and a saturated sampling technique was utilized, resulting in a total sample of 145 oil palm harvesters. The instruments employed in the study include the perceived organizational support scale, job satisfaction scale, job stress scale, and turnover intention scale. The findings indicate that job stress partially mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intention (β=-0.348, p<0.01) among harvesting employees. Meanwhile, job satisfaction does not mediate this relationship (β=-0.058, p>0.01) for the harvester employees at PT XY. These findings provide practical insights for human resource strategies aimed at reducing employee turnover, particularly in labor-intensive plantation sectors.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examined the role of emotional and social loneliness in the fear of missing out (FoMO) among adolescent TikTok users in East Java. With the increasing use of social media among teenagers, FoMO has become a common issue linked to anxiety and discomfort over missing online interactions. A total of 205 adolescents aged 13–18 participated through a survey, using the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) and the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS), analyzed with linear regression. The research findings revealed that emotional and social loneliness significantly predicted increased FoMO. The novelty of this study lies in exploring the role of two dimensions of loneliness on FoMO in Indonesian adolescents. These results highlight the importance of interventions to reduce loneliness, such as strengthening peer relationships and promoting healthier social media use. Practically, the findings suggest that schools or parents should foster supportive environments and encourage balanced online–offline interactions to help mitigate FoMO and protect adolescents’ mental well-being.]]>

<![CDATA[Sexual harassment has become a pervasive problem in many tertiary institutions worldwide which affects psychological, physical and academic well-being among undergraduates. This study investigated gender differences and self-esteem as predictors of perceived sexual harassment among undergraduates in Rivers State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select three tertiary institutions in the State. Data were collected from 250 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regressions analysis and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result revealed that gender differences and self-esteem jointly predicted perceived sexual harassment among study participants R2 = .274, F(2,248) = 46.633, p <.05. In addition, gender differences (β = .349, p <.05) and self-esteem (β = -.348, p <.05) independently predicted perceived sexual harassment among study participants. Finally, the result confirmed gender differences and perceived sexual harassment [t(247) =17.981, p <.05] such that female undergraduates reported higher perceived sexual harassment (M =38.83, SD=1.29) than their male counterparts (M = 30.94, SD= 4.94). The novelty of this finding is that it is the first time sexual harassment is investigated among undergraduates in these three tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The study recommended that university authority should be proactive in designing and implementing policy that will reduce sexual harassment in their institutions. ]]>
