Bullying among adolescents in Indonesia frequently occurs and has shown an increase. Adolescents tend to engage in bullying, partly due to egocentric thinking, which involves difficulty in distinguishing their own perspective from that of others. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the rational emotive behavior therapy approach in a group setting in reducing the egocentrism of bullying perpetrators. This research employs a quantitative experimental approach using a Control Group Pretest-Posttest design. The study involves 218 students from SMA Negeri 10 Medan who were identified as bullying perpetrators. The sample consists of 16 students selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument is a scale measuring the egocentrism of bullying perpetrators. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results indicate that the rational emotive behavior therapy approach is effective in reducing the egocentrism of bullying perpetrators.

Cyberbullying significantly impacts mental health, contributing to decreased self-esteem, self-harm, and suicide among adolescents. While previous research has established links between self-esteem, social support, and cyberbullying, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, particularly the potential mediating role of resilience. This study aimed to address this gap by examining whether resilience mediates the relationship between perceived social support, self-esteem, and cyberbullying. A quantitative methodology was adopted, involving a sample of 994 middle-school students aged 12 to 17 years from urban regions in East Java, Jakarta, West Java, and Bali. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to perform mediation analyses. Findings indicated that resilience does not mediate the relationships among self-esteem, perceived social support, and cyberbullying. Furthermore, self-esteem and perceived social support emerged as stronger direct predictors of cyberbullying in the absence of resilience as a mediator. Although self-esteem significantly predicts resilience, perceived social support exhibited only a limited predictive ability in relation to resilience. These findings highlight the need for further research to explore alternative pathways through which self-esteem and social support influence cyberbullying, as well as the contextual factors that may affect resilience in adolescent populations.

Academic pressure experienced by students can impact their psychological well-being. This study aims to examine the influence of academic hope and emotion regulation on psychological well-being in students. This research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 152 respondents selected through convenience sampling. All variables were measured using a Likert scale and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression with R (v4.4.2) and RStudio (v2024.12.0+467). The results indicate that academic hope significantly influences psychological well-being (B = 0.68, p < 0.001). Additionally, emotion regulation also contributes to enhancing students’ psychological well-being (B = 0.58, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the crucial role of academic hope and emotion regulation in supporting students' psychological well-being. The implications of this study emphasize the need to strengthen academic hope and emotion regulation within educational settings to optimize students' psychological well-being.

This study explores how family socioeconomic status (SES) affects parental involvement in children's education in Indonesia, specifically within home and school environments. Although parental involvement is essential for academic success, differences across SES groups in Indonesia are not yet fully understood. Using data from 160 families representing diverse SES backgrounds, this research employed t-tests and correlational analyses to examine the influence of SES on parental involvement. Results show that families with higher SES exhibit greater involvement in home-based educational activities, while involvement at school remains consistent across different SES levels. Additionally, notable gender differences emerged: mothers from high-SES families were significantly more involved compared to mothers from low-SES families, whereas fathers' involvement did not significantly differ based on SES. Correlational analyses further demonstrated that SES indicators, particularly parental education levels, were strongly associated with home-based involvement but had little relation to school-based involvement. Regression analysis confirmed that SES significantly predicts home involvement but not involvement at school. These findings underscore the importance of providing targeted support to promote home-based parental involvement among low-SES families. Future research should investigate qualitative factors, such as school policies and cultural norms, to better understand their impact on parental involvement.

Dissatisfaction often arises from factors related to workload, with heavy workloads driving employees to consider leaving for other companies. However, highly engaged employees are more likely to contribute positively through ideas and actions, and are more likely to stay with the organization longer. This study investigates the impact of job satisfaction on turnover intention, with employee engagement serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, surveying 315 employees at Company X in Tanjung Morawa, all with 2 to 5 years of service. The results of the mediation analysis using SEM-PLS reveal that employee engagement significantly mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. To reduce turnover intention, organizations should prioritize enhancing employee engagement by improving factors that contribute to job satisfaction.

A democratic state is obliged to ensure the fulfilment of the rights of its people, including the right to access quality public services. The quality and effectiveness of public services in Indonesia are currently facing significant challenges, as evidenced by a decline in the standard of service provision. This study emphasises the significance of psychological capital in enhancing job performance, with work engagement as a mediating factor. This study used quantitative methods and data collection techniques through convenience sampling, with a total of 317 participants. The instruments are used in this study for the measurement of variables are the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The results showed that psychological capital can predict job performance, psychological capital can predict work engagement, and work engagement can predict job performance. Additionally, this study proved that work engagement functions as a mediator between psychological capital and job performance. By enhancing psychological capital and work engagement, the quality of public services can be enhanced, which will have a beneficial impact on public trust and public welfare.

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 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.
