<![CDATA[This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence on the relationship between social-emotional functioning and subjective well-being (SWB) among primary school–aged children. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search across six databases identified three eligible quantitative studies. The findings indicate a consistent but preliminary positive association between social-emotional functioning and children’s well-being. Constructs such as emotional intelligence, social-emotional learning, and participation in organized activities were linked to dimensions of SWB, including positive affect, psychological well-being, resilience, and life satisfaction. However, the evidence base remains limited and methodologically constrained. All included studies employed cross-sectional designs and varied considerably in how social-emotional functioning was conceptualized and measured. The literature predominantly emphasizes intrapersonal competencies, while interpersonal and decision-making domains receive less attention. In addition, distinctions between individual skills and socio-contextual influences are not consistently addressed. The findings suggest that children’s well-being is shaped by multiple, interrelated pathways involving emotional competencies and social environments. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs and more coherent theoretical frameworks to better understand well-being development during middle childhood. ]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) remains a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, requiring long-term self-care management following hospital discharge. Self-regulation has emerged as an important cognitive-behavioral framework that strengthens patients’ autonomy, symptom monitoring, and adherence to health-related behaviors. Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of self-regulation programs in improving self-care among post-discharge patients with CHD. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed across five electronic databases, including PubMed, ClinicalKey Nursing, ScienceDirect, SAGE Journals, and ProQuest, covering publications from 2022 to 2025. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving CHD patients receiving self-regulation-based interventions targeting self-care outcomes. Ten RCTs met the inclusion criteria, involving 668 participants in intervention groups and 665 participants in control groups. Results: The findings consistently demonstrated that self-regulation interventions, including digital and telehealth-based monitoring, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), goal-setting strategies, and family-supported approaches, significantly improved medication adherence, physical activity, symptom management, self-care behaviors, and quality of life. Technology-assisted interventions and family involvement showed particularly strong effects in promoting sustained self-management. Conclusion: Self-regulation programs are effective in enhancing self-care and health-related outcomes among patients with CHD after hospitalization. Integrating technology-based monitoring and family-centered support into cardiac rehabilitation programs may strengthen long-term disease management and reduce adverse clinical outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the influence of cultural values and psychological empowerment on innovative work behavior, with business duration as a moderating variable among women MSME entrepreneurs in Bangkalan Regency. A quantitative causal research design was employed, involving 272 respondents selected using an incidental sampling technique. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale, including measures of cultural values, psychological empowerment, and innovative work behavior. Data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with IBM SPSS. The results indicate that both cultural values and psychological empowerment significantly predict innovative work behavior. Business duration was found to moderate the relationships between cultural values, psychological empowerment, and innovative work behavior. However, business duration did not show a significant direct effect on innovative work behavior, suggesting that experience alone is insufficient to drive innovation unless supported by cultural and psychological factors. The model explained 79.3% of the variance in innovative work behavior, indicating a strong combined contribution of the predictors. These findings highlight the importance of integrating cultural context and psychological empowerment in understanding innovation among women entrepreneurs. Practically, the results suggest that enhancing innovative work behavior requires not only business experience but also the strengthening of intrinsic motivation and the adaptive use of cultural values in business practices.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explored psychological coping strategies among communities affected by the landslide in Banaran Village, Ponorogo Regency, Indonesia. It aimed to identify the coping strategies adopted by survivors and examine the contextual factors shaping their use. A qualitative descriptive design with thematic analysis was employed. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six affected residents selected based on variations in gender, age, and level of disaster exposure. Two key informants from local disaster-related institutions were also interviewed to support contextual understanding and data triangulation. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis approach. The findings show that survivors employed both emotion-focused and problem-focused coping strategies that evolved according to personal experiences and post-disaster conditions. Emotion-focused coping was reflected in religious acceptance, emotional sharing, and support from family and peers, whereas problem-focused coping involved livelihood restoration, preparedness efforts, and heightened environmental vigilance. Gendered and age-related tendencies also emerged, although these were not rigid categories. Female participants more often emphasized relational and emotionally supportive coping, while male participants more often framed coping through responsibility, future-oriented thinking, and practical adaptation. Older participants tended to prioritize household continuity and long-term stability, whereas younger participants relied more on companionship, external encouragement, and moral-religious reflection. Overall, coping practices were socially and culturally embedded within religious values, family relationships, and collective recovery experiences. Psychosocial recovery did not necessarily involve the disappearance of fear, but rather the capacity to continue everyday life alongside persistent environmental uncertainty.]]>

<![CDATA[This pilot study evaluated preliminary changes in mothers’ understanding of emotion regulation strategies following an experiential learning-based training programme among low-SES families in a rural setting. Participants were 19 mothers of children aged four to six years from a rural village in Purwakarta, West Java, Indonesia. A one-group pretest–post-test design with a two-week follow-up assessment was employed. The training programme consisted of three sessions based on Gross and Ford’s process model of emotion regulation, covering situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation. The sessions were delivered using Kolb’s experiential learning approach through role play, group discussion, contextual exercises, and interactive lectures. Mothers’ understanding was assessed at pretest, immediate post-test, and two-week follow-up using a researcher-developed instrument. The Friedman test showed a significant increase in understanding from pretest to immediate post-test, indicating a positive short-term change. However, this improvement was not statistically sustained at the two-week follow-up. These findings suggest that experiential learning-based emotion regulation training may offer preliminary benefits for strengthening mothers’ understanding of emotion regulation strategies. Nevertheless, given the small sample size and absence of a control group, the results should be interpreted cautiously. Future studies should employ controlled designs, larger samples, validated measures, and booster sessions to support the maintenance of training effects over time.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examined school well-being and its protective and risk factors among senior high school students in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) schools in Sorong Regency. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the quantitative phase involved 413 students from 15 schools and was analyzed using descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis. The instrument was adapted from Konu and Rimpelä’s school well-being framework, comprising four dimensions: having, loving, being, and health. Of the initial 24 items, 14 were retained after construct validity testing. The qualitative phase involved interviews with students, teachers, parents, and representatives of the local education office, and the data were analyzed thematically. The quantitative findings indicated that students’ school well-being was at a moderate level, with the greatest challenges observed in the health and having dimensions. The qualitative findings revealed four major themes: deprivation and access barriers in the having dimension; social connectedness in the loving dimension; stagnation and contextual adaptation in the being dimension; and vulnerability and limited health support in the health dimension. The main protective factors included social support, positive teacher–student relationships, and students’ adaptive capacity, whereas the major risk factors were limited facilities, restricted access, less engaging instructional methods, and limited opportunities for self-development. These findings highlight the need for holistic interventions that address both physical and psychosocial conditions to improve school well-being among students in 3T schools.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to explore the meaning of transitional object use and its role in emotion regulation in early adulthood. Two participants were selected through purposive sampling and were interviewed in depth across three sessions. The findings showed that beloved dolls functioned as stable attachment figures by providing a consistent sense of security and comfort, especially when human attachment figures were not consistently available. As they grew older, both participants interpreted the doll not only as a physical object but also as a tool for managing emotions through actions such as hugging, holding, twisting, and sniffing. A difference emerged in their level of dependence: R used the doll primarily during negative emotional states, whereas A used it across all emotional conditions, including positive ones. This study offers insight into the use of transitional objects in positive emotions and highlights their adaptive role when not used excessively.]]>

<![CDATA[Innovation is critical for the sustainability of startup organizations operating in dynamic environments. Innovative work behavior (IWB) enables adaptation and competitiveness but is closely shaped by organizational culture. This study examined the association between organizational culture and IWB among 252 startup employees in Indonesia using a quantitative survey design. Organizational culture was assessed via the Organizational Culture Profile (innovation, outcome orientation, respect for people, attention to detail, and team orientation), while IWB was measured using Janssen’s (2000) scale. Multiple regression analysis indicated that organizational culture significantly predicted IWB (R² = .514, p < .001), explaining 51.4% of the variance, with innovation culture as the strongest predictor. Practically, startups should foster innovation-supportive climates by promoting psychological safety, structured idea-generation processes, and reward systems for experimentation. Strengthening team orientation and people-centered values may further enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing, thereby sustaining innovative performance in rapidly evolving startup ecosystems.]]>

<![CDATA[Work–family balance has become a critical issue in industrial and organizational psychology amid increasing workplace digitalization; however, research integrating individual internal resources and digital communication pressures remains limited, particularly within the context of Indonesian civil servants (Aparatur Sipil Negara, ASN). This study examined the effects of emotion regulation and workplace telepressure on work–family balance. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed with 200 married civil servants aged 30–55 years, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The regression model was statistically significant, F(2, 197) = 209.37, p < .001, explaining 68% of the variance in work–family balance (R² = .68). Emotion regulation demonstrated a significant positive association with work–family balance, whereas workplace telepressure showed a significant negative association. These findings suggest that emotion regulation functions as a psychological resource that supports role balance, while persistent pressure to respond promptly to work-related messages may undermine boundaries between work and family domains. The study recommends implementing emotion regulation training (e.g., stress management and adaptive coping programs) and establishing organizational digital communication policies (e.g., response-time guidelines, designated “quiet hours,” and supervisory support for boundary management) to enhance work–family balance among civil servants in digitally mediated work environments.]]>

<![CDATA[Parenting children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD) involves chronic stressors impacting family well-being. While Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) reduce stress, recent digital and brief modalities require systematic evaluation. This study synthesizes evidence on MBI effectiveness for parents of children with NDD regarding psychological functioning and parenting outcomes. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic search across seven databases identified 23 eligible studies published between 2016 and 2025. Findings suggest promising benefits of MBIs in reducing parenting stress, anxiety, and depression via de-centering mechanisms, although results are not fully uniform across studies. Crucially, brief and online interventions showed potential efficacy comparable to traditional face-to-face protocols, addressing accessibility barriers. MBIs represent a robust, transdiagnostic intervention for NDD caregivers. The proven efficacy of accessible digital formats suggests a critical avenue for democratizing mental health support for this vulnerable population.]]>
