Abstract

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.

Abstract

This study contributes by integrating psychological and pharmacological perspectives in understanding juvenile murderers. This is a comparative study that compares DTP and Pb between juvenile murderers and non-criminal juveniles. The participants were 7 juvenile murderers and 7 non-criminal juveniles. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy was used to examine Pb levels in hair. A modified Paulhus and William DTP questionnaire was applied to all participants. Qualitative data used interview and drawing test on juvenile murderers. Quantitative data on murderous and non-criminal juveniles for DTP used T Test and Pb were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation between DTP and Pb used Pearson Correlation. Qualitative analyzed used thematic content analysis. Results revealed that there are has significant differences on Pb between JM and NCM. Pb levels in juvenile murderers were higher than those in noncriminal ones. There is no difference between juvenile murderers and noncriminal ones, according to DTP. However, descriptive statistics revealed that adolescent murderers typically had higher DTP than noncriminal ones. Based on the structural interview and psychological drawing test, juvenile murderers tend to have DTP characteristics. Spearman correlation showed that there was no correlation between Pb and DTP noncriminal adolescents. Further research is needed with more precise and comprehensive methods to find out the causes of teenagers committing murder, one of them is qualitative approach. Integration with pharmaceuticals remains necessary because juvenile murder cannot be explained solely by a psychological approach.

Abstract

The high prevalence of obesity has made individuals more cautious in choosing food. Many of them are now beginning to consider their physical health, such as maintaining their weight. This study aims to determine the influence of eating patterns on food choice motives. The research method used is quantitative, involving the distribution of questionnaires. The study participants consisted of 206 students in the city of Semarang, and data analysis was conducted using the Multivariate GLM Test. The results of this study indicate that controlled eating patterns influence weight control, external eating patterns influence sensory appeal, but emotional eating patterns don’t influence food choice motives. In conclusion, both eating patterns among students significantly influence food choice motives. Specifically, controlled eating patterns affect weight control, external eating patterns affect sensory appeal, but emotional eating patterns don’t affect both dependent variables (weight control and sensory appeal).

Abstract

Long-distance marriage refers to a condition in which spouses live apart, potentially affecting their subjective well-being. This study aims to analyze the influence of family functioning, financial decision-making, and loneliness on subjective well-being in families experiencing long-distance marriage. A mixed-method approach was employed with 50 male and 55 female respondents. The findings indicate that family functioning scores were higher among female respondents compared to males, while no significant differences were found in other variables. The results of the SEM analysis show that family functioning on women had a significant positive effect, while loneliness on men had a significant negative effect on subjective well-being. Financial decision-making showed no significant impact. Families are encouraged to maintain shared spiritual routines and emotional connection, and engage in affective communication and social interaction to alleviate loneliness. Future research is expected to incorporate children‘s perspectives to better understand family functioning in long-distance marriage families.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze employee engagement from a multidimensional perspective by differentiating three forms of employee engagement expression: Convey (speaking positively about the organization), Commit (desire to stay), and Contribute (effort to provide maximum contribution). The data were collected from 1,235 employees across various sectors in Indonesia through the Employee Experience Survey (EES) developed by KTM Consulting, using a population study. The research population comes from various industry sectors and job backgrounds, ranging from staff to managerial levels, thus adequately reflecting the diversity of organizational contexts in Indonesia. This study employed independent sample t-tests to examine differences in engagement scores across demographic groups and multiple linear regression analysis to identify the contribution of each cluster to engagement expressions, using a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The results indicate that each form of engagement is influenced by different driving factors: Brand & Reputation has a significant impact on Convey (45.15%), Career Development & Growth Opportunities primarily influences Commit (21.58%), and Purpose & Meaning serves as the main driver for Contribute (30.84%). These findings underscore that a one-dimensional approach to measuring engagement risks overlooking the psychological dynamics underlying the employee-organization relationship. By understanding engagement expressions separately, organizations can design more precise, relevant, and long-term interventions to enhance work motivation, retention, and employee contribution.

Abstract

Lecturer professionalism is a crucial determinant of higher education quality, particularly in institutional contexts with limited structural support. This study examines the influence of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on lecturer professionalism, with job satisfaction tested as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, the study involved 293 certified lecturers under the coordination of KOPERTAIS Region IX, North Sumatra. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results revealed that POS had no direct and significant effect on lecturer professionalism (β = 0.130; p = 0.082), but significantly affected job satisfaction (β = 0.728; p = 0.000). Job satisfaction, in turn, exerted a significant positive effect on lecturer professionalism (β = 0.474; p = 0.000) and fully mediated the relationship between POS and professionalism (β = 0.345; p = 0.000). These findings suggest that perceptions of organizational support enhance lecturer professionalism only when translated into positive work experiences that foster psychological and affective job satisfaction. The study underscores the practical importance of adopting relational and humanistic approaches in academic human resource management to strengthen and sustain lecturer professionalism.

Abstract

The dynamic changes within the world of work require individuals to engage in robust career planning. In this context, career aspiration is understood as a psychological construct reflecting an individual’s hopes, motivations, and goals related to their future employment. This study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Career Aspirations Scale-Revised (CAS-R) into Indonesian to provide a valid and reliable measurement tool. The respondents comprised 549 Indonesian adolescents. The adaptation process followed the ITC (2018) guidelines, encompassing content validation, construct validation through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Rasch analysis, as well as reliability testing. The CFA results supported a three-factor structure (RMSEA = 0.034; CFI = 0.990; TLI = 0.990), with 18 items meeting the factor loading criteria. Cronbach’s alpha of 0.910 indicated high reliability. Rasch analysis further supported the instrument’s validity and internal consistency, with 19 items deemed to fit the model. These findings confirm that the Indonesian version of CAS-R is a suitable instrument for measuring adolescents’ career aspirations in Indonesia. It can be used by schools, counselors, and psychological institutions to support career assessment and planning.

Abstract

Self-efficacy is a psychological construct that plays a crucial role in athletic achievement, as it reflects athletes’ belief in their ability to face challenges in both training and competition. This study aimed to examine the construct validity of the Athlete Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) in the Indonesian context. A Bayesian-based Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach was applied to data from 316 athletes (158 male, 158 female) representing 33 sports disciplines across 21 provinces. The results confirmed that a four-factor model—Sport Discipline Efficacy, Psychological Efficacy, Professional Thought Efficacy, and Personality Efficacy—provided the best fit (BRMSEA = 0.073, BCFI = 0.926, BTLI = 0.910, BNFI = 0.881), indicating strong construct validity and good reliability. These findings demonstrate that the Indonesian version of ASES is a valid and adaptable measurement tool for assessing athletes’ psychological resources. However, this study has several limitations, including its cross-sectional design, the absence of measurement invariance testing, and the relatively homogeneous cultural background of participants, which may restrict generalizability. Future studies should adopt longitudinal designs and test invariance across gender, age, and sport types to strengthen the instrument’s applicability. Despite these limitations, the validated scale carries significant social implications, offering coaches, sport psychologists, and policymakers a culturally relevant tool to design interventions, enhance athlete development programs, and foster mental resilience in Indonesian athletes.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of campus facilities and environmental quality on lecturers’ work enthusiasm, with sense of belonging as a mediating variable. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 74 lecturers at Universitas Tjut Nyak Dhien Medan. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Measurement items showed strong validity, with factor loadings between 0.802 and 0.876. Results revealed that campus facilities significantly affect both work enthusiasm (t= 3.187) and sense of belonging (t= 4.211). Environmental quality also exerts a significant effect on sense of belonging (t= 5.025) and work enthusiasm (t= 5.335). Moreover, sense of belonging positively influences work enthusiasm (t= 4.271), confirming its mediating role. The findings extend Resource-Based View, AMO framework, and Social Exchange Theory in the Indonesian higher education context. Practically, they suggest universities should enhance facilities, improve work environments, and foster belonging to strengthen lecturers’ enthusiast.

Abstract

Self-harm is a behavior of intentionally hurting oneself that often emerges among adolescents, particularly girls, as a coping mechanism for emotional and social pressures. This study aims to explore the characteristics of self-harm behavior among adolescents by examining four main aspects: overt self-harm, eating disorder, high lethal actions, and behaviors relating to medical issues. A total of 127 respondents participated in the study, with the majority aged 16–17 years (42.52%), predominantly Minang ethnic group (95.28%), most attending religious classes (74.02%), and mostly from complete family backgrounds (85.83%). Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and analyzed descriptively to identify the frequency, percentage, and category of self-harm indicators. The results indicate that overt self-harm behaviors such as intentionally injuring oneself, hitting the body, or burning the skin were mostly found at a low level, although a small portion reached the moderate category. In the eating disorder aspect, indicators such as fasting for 24 hours due to guilt, skipping meals for attention, and using laxatives as self-punishment were generally categorized as low, with only fasting behavior reaching moderate. Similarly, the high lethal aspect, including consuming excessive medication, ignoring dosage, and attempted suicide through wrist-cutting, was also categorized as low. Lastly, behaviors relating to medical issues, such as not treating wounds, ignoring medication when sick, or using unauthorized prescription drugs, were likewise predominantly in the low category. Overall, the findings reveal that although self-harm tendencies are present among adolescents, the majority are at a low level across all aspects, with only certain eating disorder and overt self-harm indicators reaching moderate levels. These results highlight the importance of early detection and preventive interventions to minimize the escalation of self-harm behaviors among adolescents.
