The developmental crisis in early adulthood, often referred to as the Quarter-Life Crisis, has garnered significant attention in recent years. Although widely discussed in mass media and popular writings, there is a lack of a well-established psychological scale to measure this crisis in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Indonesian adaptation of the Developmental Crisis Questionnaire (DCQ-12) developed by Petrov et al. (2022) for assessing early adulthood developmental crises. The DCQ-12 instrument consists of twelve statements divided into three factors: Disconnection and Distress, Lack of Clarity and Control, and Transition and Turning Point. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) are used in the test. This research involves 300 Indonesian early adult participants (mean age = 31.81 years, SD = 6.72, 90% female) for EFA testing and 248 participants (mean age = 25.2 years, SD = 5.32, 78.2% female) for CFA testing. The results indicate that the three-factor structure of the ten items of the Indonesian version of the DCQ has psychometric properties classified as "acceptable fit," making it suitable for research on developmental crises in early adult individuals. Future research should explore the psychometric properties of this instrument in other population groups, such as middle-aged and older adults, and consider implications for interventions or support programs

This study was conducted to uncover the lives of the unmarried elderly in the Southern Mindanao by providing useful information about their psychological well-being in terms of their positive thoughts, positive feelings, triumphs or successes, hopes or aspirations, and meaningful reasons for defying social norms. The study has ten (10) informants, composed of five unmarried men and five unmarried women carefully selected based on their predefined characteristics. In conducting the study, the researcher utilized a semi-structured interview guide questionnaire that was validated by three experts. The data were gathered through an in-depth interview with each of the informants, observations, and conversations with some key informants. All pertinent data were obtained using an electronic audio recorder and observational field notes. Consequently, all relevant data were transcribed, reviewed, and analyzed extensively through a thorough coding process and triangulation methods to come up with valid and reliable results. The results were discussed through a thematic analysis matrix to represent the data in an organized and comprehensive manner. After carefully examining the gathered data, this phenomenological inquiry has found significant findings. Particularly, their positive thoughts revealed three major themes, including individual functioning, social functioning, and a secured social network. Their positive feelings identified only one central theme, which is self-actualization. Only one main theme has emerged for their triumphs or successes, namely, their life accomplishments. For their hopes or aspirations, it also came up with one key theme: quality of life. Lastly, their meaningful reasons for breaking social norms have identified two significant themes: predetermination and self-determination. As indicated in the results of the study, the informants' positive attitudes across all aspects of their lives helped them understand their purpose or life's meaning. Thus, their optimistic view of life enabled them to function positively, which contributed significantly to their psychological well-being.

Children’s problem behaviors should be managed properly while their prosocial behaviors should be nurtured. As parents play a significant role in children’s lives, their well-being and psychological distress could influence children’s behavior through different mechanisms. This study investigated the roles of effective parenting (positive encouragement and parent-child relationship) and ineffective parenting (parental inconsistency and coercive parenting) in mediating the relationships between parental well-being and psychological distress, and children’s problem and prosocial behavior as reported by parents. One-hundred and seventy-three parents of primary school children completed a paper and pencil survey consisting relevant measures. Mediation analyses using PROCESS macros showed that parental well-being and psychological distress significantly influenced children’s problem behavior through effective and ineffective parenting, respectively. However, only parental well-being significantly influenced children’s prosocial behavior through effective parenting. The results highlight the importance of parental well-being, as it fosters positive parenting practices and promotes prosocial behavior in children. Keywords: child problem behaviors, child prosocial behaviors, parenting, psychological distress, parental well-being.

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

The purpose of this study is to examine FoMO (Fear of Missing Out) behavior based on levels of self-esteem and self-concept among university students. This research is correlational, employing multiple regression analysis. The sample consists of 313 first-year students from the Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Padang. The findings indicate that self-esteem among students is in the low category, with a total percentage of 47.4%. Similarly, self-concept is also in the low category, with a total percentage of 45.2%. On the other hand, FoMO among students is in the high category, with a total percentage of 69%. There is a negative and significant relationship between self-esteem and FoMO, as well as between self-concept and FoMO. Additionally, there is a simultaneous relationship between self-esteem, self-concept, and FoMO. The implications of the study suggest that the university needs to design guidance and counseling programs focused on enhancing students' self-esteem and self-concept to prevent the emergence of FoMO

Working mothers with young children bear dual responsibilities, managing professional duties while attentively caring for their children, often leading to parenting stress. This study aims to examine the influence of Big Five personality traits on parenting stress among working mothers with young children. This research fills a gap in the literature regarding how personality aspects affect parenting stress. The study participants included working mothers with children aged 0-6 years, who are married, and residing in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The methodology utilized the Parenting Stress Scale (PSS) and The Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI), with data analysis conducted through multiple regression techniques. The results indicate that agreeableness and extraversion negatively affect parenting stress, while openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism do not have a significant impact. These findings underscore the importance of understanding personality traits in managing parenting stress among working mothers. The implications of this study can be used to develop more effective interventions to support the mental health of working mothers.Keywords: Parenting stress, openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism.

This research contributes to understanding adolescents' awareness of psychological wellbeing within the sandwich generation. The unique challenges faced by sandwich generation teenagers, due to the demands of balancing multiple responsibilities, heighten their vulnerability to mental health issues and suicidal ideation. The study involved eight participants who met specific criteria: active college students in Yogyakarta, aged 18 to 22, residing in Yogyakarta, employed in part-time, full-time, or freelance work, who had experienced thoughts of self-harm, and who were willing to participate. A qualitative approach was employed using the photovoice method, guided by the SHOWED framework (focusing on what is Seen, what is Happening, how it relates to Our lives, why it Exists, and what can be Done about it). Data analysis was conducted through content and thematic analysis, using both photographs and narratives as primary data sources. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the psychological well-being of the sandwich generation, exploring dimensions such as perspective, environmental mastery, mood, life purpose, selfacceptance, autonomy, personal growth, and religiosity.

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.

Maintaining harmony in social relations, a fundamental value of a collective society, is completely opposed to the dark personality traits that are egocentric and antisocial. This fact has an impact on criticism and increased social pressure for individuals with dark personalities in a collective society, as well as on objective and subjective success. This cross-sectional study was conducted to elucidate the impact of dark personalities on success in a collective society. The results (N = 522) revealed that dark personality traits, particularly narcissism, were the most consistent traits in predicting subjective career success in participants with (n = 273) or without managerial positions (n = 249). Furthermore, participants with and without managerial positions showed no difference in subjective career success. The findings are expected to provide reliable information on the influence of dark personalities on success in a collective society. Keywords: dark personality, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, career success

High school students need resilience to cope with academic pressures and demands. This study aims to examine the mediating role of self-regulated learning on the effect of social support on academic resilience among high school students. For this purpose, the study population came from one of the high schools in Medan City with a total number of 615 students. This study used total sampling to obtain effective results and partial least square (PLS) SEM. SmartPLS 3.0 was used to analyse the data. The results of this study show that self-regulated learning is able to partially mediate between the influence of social support on students' academic resilience. In order to improve academic resilience, it is recommended that parents and teachers provide active support to students as a tangible manifestation of the social support provided to enhance the development of self-regulated learning in students
