Military spouses, particularly wives, require resilience given the various stressors they face, such as the absence of their husbands for support, the dual role of being both a mother and a father, and handling household tasks and childcare alone. Self-efficacy and negative emotionality or neuroticism are often associated with an individual's level of resilience, making them characteristics that can predict a person's resilience effectively. This study aims to test a model of the relationship between self-efficacy, negative emotionality, and resilience in Navy wives, utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional research design. Measurement tools include a modified Resilience Scale of Adult (RSA), the Indonesian version of the Self-Efficacy Scale, and a personality scale translated based on the BFI-2 Indonesian version. The data analysis method employed is Path Analysis using Amos-24. The research results indicate that there is an influence, both directly and indirectly, of the variable negative emotionality (p < 0.05) on resilience. There is a positive influence of self-efficacy (p < 0.05) on resilience, and self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative emotionality and resilience (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that the role of self-efficacy as a protective factor is highly dominant in determining an individual's resilience compared to the role of negative emotionality (a risk factor). Based on the research results, training for the development or enhancement of self-efficacy is recommended for Navy wives to improve their resilience and mental health. Future research is encouraged to explore other variables that enhance self-efficacy, as self-efficacy is a significant factor influencing resilience.

The use of smartphones has significantly increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Internet access in the family room has impacted teens' smartphone usage behavior and relationships between family members, particularly in family communication. This study aimed to describe teens' behavior while using smartphones and compare the quality of parent-child interpersonal communication based on teens' smartphone usage intensity post-pandemic COVID-19. A total of 515 teens aged 15-19 years participated in this research. The study revealed eight main activities that most teenagers engage in with their smartphones. These activities include recording pictures/audio/video of oneself, managing incoming messages (via messaging apps and email), playing games, accessing social media, listening to music, listening to the radio, editing photos/videos, and using search engines (such as Google) to search for information (browsing). The results also indicated significant differences in openness, empathy, positiveness, and overall family communication quality. Participants who used low-intensity gadgets exhibited the best quality in these dimensions. The implications of this research may help practitioners working with families design necessary interventions for family communication problems.

Altruistic behavior is a conduct that prioritizes the interests of others to alleviate their suffering and enhance well-being without expecting any reward for the actions taken. There are still unanswered questions from previous research regarding the motivations that underlie altruistic behavior in disaster relief volunteers. This study aims to explore and delve into the motivations behind altruistic behavior in Indonesian Red Cross volunteers. The phenomenological approach is employed in this research, using semi-structured interviews to gather data. The study participants are individuals aged 18 to 25 who are actively involved as Indonesian Red Cross volunteers in the city of Surakarta. The results of the research indicate that the motivations driving altruistic behavior include the desire to help others, a calling for humanity service to God, enrichment of social interaction, and the influence of family or circumstances. Further discussion is elaborated in this manuscript.

Various studies on educational approaches explore the solution to fill the gap between education and society's demands. Specifically in the engineering field, addressing this gap is particularly urgent because previous research indicated that engineering graduates experienced this problem more frequently. On the other hand, our community needs them since engineering is the driver of innovation and community change. Community-based projects, combining community-based research and project-based learning approaches, are potential approaches to meet this purpose, although more research is needed. This study aims to explore students' experiences while involved in community-based projects, including the processes, experiences, feelings, and values obtained during the project. This study used a qualitative approach using an open-ended questionnaire and interviews with 39 engineering students. The results of the study show three main stages in a community-based project in the field of engineering and positive results in terms of cognitive, affective, skills, and values. The dynamics of the process and the potential for community-based project development are provided in the discussion and conclusion section.

Separation from parents to study at a boarding school creates a sense of loss, alienation, loneliness, and a weakening of communication with parents among the students (santri). The issues faced by these students are related to attachment patterns, specifically secure attachment. Secure attachment significantly influences the social and emotional development of students, reduces behavioral problems, and alleviates depression. Therefore, this research aims to examine the efficacy of two psychoeducational interventions utilizing films, one with a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach and one without a CBT approach, to enhance secure attachment among students towards their parents. This study employs a randomized controlled trial pre-post test design, with a research population of 20 students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah Candung. The participants are randomly divided into two different intervention groups, each consisting of 10 subjects. Data analysis involves the Wilcoxon signed ranks test and Mann-Whitney test. The results indicate a significant improvement in secure attachment among students in both the psychoeducational film intervention with CBT and the psychoeducational film intervention without CBT. However, further analysis reveals that the psychoeducational film intervention with CBT produces a higher increase in self-esteem compared to the intervention without CBT.

Ensuring consistency in measurements across different groups is a crucial aspect of using intelligence test scores and other psychological assessments fairly. Many believe that having equal factor loadings is enough to establish this consistency in confirmatory factor analysis. This research focused on examining the consistency of the Factor Cognitive Ability Test (FCAT) between genders and age groups. A second-order 4-factor model was applied to a nationally representative sample of 3,850 individuals aged 11 to 53 years. The results revealed complete strict consistency between genders and basic structural consistency among age groups. The FCAT subtests exhibited identical underlying theoretical latent constructs, equivalent relationships among factors and subtests, consistent validity for each first-order factor, and comparable communalities, irrespective of gender. This supports a consistent interpretive approach and meaningful comparisons of FCAT scores between males and females. However, the study also identified variations across age groups, indicating non-consistency and providing evidence that age has an impact on the latent variable differences in FCAT scores.

ASD constitutes a persistent mental disorder that significantly impacts family dynamics, involving both parents and siblings. Limited research has delved into the dynamics of how siblings undergo the process of accepting a father with an ASD child. This study aims to investigate the unique process of paternal acceptance in the context of children with ASD. Utilizing a case study approach, in-depth interviews will be conducted with 8 fathers of ASD children. The acceptance journey for fathers in the realm of ASD differs from the stages outlined in Ross' theory. Fathers traverse a stage of confusion followed by the realistic stage, contemplating the subsequent steps and actions to optimize the development of their ASD children. While fathers may not be directly involved in day-to-day parenting tasks, they exhibit commitment by providing financial support, monitoring their children's ASD development, and realistically preparing for their future.

Divorce transforms an individual into a single parent, prompting them to place their children in Islamic boarding schools for enhanced supervision. The repercussions of divorce on adolescents are substantial, particularly for those in boarding schools. These adolescents often grapple with heightened academic stress, attributable to rigorous learning demands and a lack of parental support, resulting in diminished psychological well-being. This study endeavors to implement resilience training as a pilot intervention, aiming to alleviate academic stress and enhance the psychological well-being of adolescents in boarding schools with divorced parents. The research design adopts a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group format, encompassing 30 adolescents. The evaluation tools employed include the ESSSA educational stress scale for adolescents (16 items), a psychological well-being assessment (42 items), and a resilience measurement (19 items). Utilizing independent t-tests and paired t-tests, the findings indicate a noteworthy reduction in academic stress (p=.000) and a concurrent improvement in psychological well-being (p=.000).
