This systematic literature review provides a comprehensive exploration of the role of psychological, human, and social capital in shaping entrepreneurial intentions within the context of higher education. The study synthesizes findings from a wide range of empirical studies to assess how these capitals influence students’ aspirations to engage in entrepreneurial activities. An online search was conducted on 125 reputable articles in the 2012-2021 period on entrepreneur intention and psychological, human, and social capital. Our review encompasses a detailed analysis of the psychological constructs that motivate entrepreneurial intentions, such as personal attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms. Furthermore, we examine human capital elements, including education, skills, and experience, alongside social capital aspects like social networks and family support systems. This review highlights the complex interplay between individual capabilities and contextual factors by integrating insights from multiple theoretical frameworks, including the Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Career Theory. The findings suggest that while psychological capital is crucial in forming entrepreneurial intentions, human and social capital are equally significant in providing the necessary resources and networks to act on these intentions. This review contributes to academic discourse by clarifying the roles and relationships of different types of capital in entrepreneurial intention formation among higher education students, offering implications for educators and policymakers in fostering a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem.

This study aims to explore the experiences of mothers adapting after receiving a Down Syndrome (DS) diagnosis for their child. Utilizing a Heideggerian phenomenological approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 mothers of children with DS, focusing on their emotional responses, acceptance, and hopes. The analysis identified three main themes: initial reactions to the diagnosis and the resulting loss of hope, the process of acceptance, and managing hopes while adapting to the child's condition. The findings reveal the complex journey mothers undergo in restructuring their emotions and thoughts, underscoring the importance of diagnostic confirmation, social support, and spiritual beliefs in the acceptance process. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of mothers’ experiences following a DS diagnosis and offers insights for health professionals and support systems to better assist families during this critical period. The theme of “reframing hopes” emerged as central, facilitating mothers’ ability to adjust and maintain hope for their children’s futures.

The Batak ethnic group is ranked as the third-largest ethnic group in Indonesia after the Javanese and Sundanese ethnic groups. As one of the ethnic groups that still strongly uphold their traditions, the Batak ethnic group experiences many conflicts within their community. This becomes a stress trigger for individuals of the Batak ethnic group if they are unable to meet the demands of their traditions, which can ultimately threaten their well-being. This research aims to develop a model of the influence of Batak values and perceived organizational support on the psychological well-being of Batak civil servants in North Sumatera. This research uses an explanatory survey method with descriptive and verificative analysis. Based on disproportionate sampling techniques, the study was conducted on 636 civil servants in five regencies and cities in North Sumatera. The model testing uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on component/variance, specifically the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique, with the SmartPLS software. The results of the study indicate that the Batak values, which are used as a guide in the lives of Batak civil servants, and their positive perceptions of the institutions where they work, simultaneously influence the psychological well-being of Batak civil servants. The variables Hamoraon, Hagabeon, Hasangapon, and perceived organizational support collectively contribute 41% to the psychological well-being of Batak civil servants in North Sumatera. Therefore, the position of Batak values and perceived organizational support is very important, as these two variables have a significant impact on the psychological well-being of Batak Toba civil servants in North Sumatera.

This research focuses on adolescents with mental health issues such as stress and anxiety. Stress is described as general daily pressure that affects daily behavior, while anxiety is defined as excessive worry about future events. Both stress and anxiety are closely associated with low self-esteem, which refers to an individual's perception and evaluation of their ability to face and solve problems. Various interventions can enhance self-esteem, with art therapy being particularly effective for adolescents. In this study, the State Self-Esteem Scale (SSES) was used to measure self-esteem, and the DASS-21 was used to assess stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Five female participants completed the intervention, which consisted of eight sessions conducted over five days. This research utilized a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test method. The intervention results showed a significant increase in global self-esteem scores, as well as changes in stress, anxiety, and depression levels

Psychological well-being is one of the most essential aspects of the life of overseas students. To improve psychological well-being, students should have a positive attitude towards themselves and good resilience with the aim that they can live a life with good mental health and well-being. Therefore, this research aims to determine the role of resilience in the relationship between self-compassion and psychological well-being among non-local students in Indonesia. The study used the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS-18), the Indonesian Version of the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ) on 142 non-local students. The results prove that resilience partially mediates the relationship between self-compassion and psychological well-being. It indicates that increasing resilience leads to an increase in self-compassion and it affects the development of psychological well-being. Non-local students who love themselves and accept their weaknesses and failures tend to be able to cope with stress and survive in every difficult condition experienced in their lives, which will lead them to reduce psychological distress.

Work readiness is a reflection of an individual's quality of life evaluation, viewed from their own perspective. However, in reality, the work readiness of students is still low. This study aims to determine the contribution of work value, career adaptability, and willingness to compromise on students' work readiness during the school-to-work transition. The study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a correlational method. A total of 210 students were selected through incidental sampling techniques to participate in this research. The instruments used include scales for work value, career adaptability, willingness to compromise, and work readiness. The results of the study indicate that students' work value is in the high category, their career adaptability is in the high category, their willingness to compromise is in the high category, and their work readiness is in the medium category. The findings show that work value, career adaptability, and willingness to compromise significantly contribute positively to students' work readiness. This research implies that future studies should focus on helping students develop work readiness during their school-to-work transition.
