Abstract

This study examined whether differentiation of self predicts filial piety among emerging adults and whether anxiety moderates this association. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, we surveyed 261 participants via an online questionnaire assessing differentiation of self, anxiety, and filial piety. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and moderated regression. Differentiation of self was positively associated with filial piety (B = 0.595, p < .05), whereas anxiety was negatively associated with filial piety (B = −0.361, p < .05). The interaction between differentiation of self and anxiety was also positive and significant (B = 0.007, p < .05), supporting a moderating effect of anxiety. The final model accounted for 69.5% of the variance in filial piety, and the interaction term explained an additional 1.2% of variance. Simple slopes indicated that the positive association between differentiation of self and filial piety was stronger at higher levels of anxiety.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) as a non-pharmacological intervention for reducing pain intensity in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design with follow-up was employed involving seven female participants aged 20–24 years. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) across three time points. The Friedman test indicated a significant difference in pain intensity over time (χ²(2) = 12.08, p = 0.002). Post hoc Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests revealed significant reductions from pretest to posttest (Z = -2.392, p = 0.017) and from pretest to follow-up (Z = -2.388, p = 0.017). These findings suggest that GIM is associated with reduced menstrual pain intensity and may offer preliminary promise as a complementary intervention. However, given the small sample size, absence of a control group, and reliance on self-reported outcomes, the results should be interpreted as pilot evidence. Further research using more rigorous experimental designs and larger samples is warranted to establish the efficacy of GIM.

Abstract

Premarital intimacy behavior among adolescents is a significant reproductive health concern, however, the cognitive pathways linking risk perception to such behavior are not yet fully understood. This cross-sectional study, conducted in schools within Bantul District, Yogyakarta (n=288), examined the correlations among perceived severity, perceived vulnerability, response effectiveness, self-efficacy, and premarital intimacy behavior using PLS-SEM. The outcome was operationalized using indicators of mild affectionate/intimacy behaviors, rather than sexual intercourse or broader sexual risk behaviors. Structural findings show that severity markedly enhances response efficacy (β=0.480; T-Value=5.870) and self-efficacy (β=0.407; T-Value=3.460), whereas vulnerability similarly elevates response efficacy (β=0.285; T-Value=3.456) and self-efficacy (β=0.337; T-Value=3.149). These findings suggest that risk perception operates indirectly through self-efficacy and response efficacy; however, risk perception was associated with higher response efficacy and self-efficacy, which in turn decreases adolescent premarital intimacy behavior. Increasing self-efficacy is crucial for understanding and reducing premarital intimacy behavior among adolescents in educational settings. A more adaptive, empowering, and sustainable sex education program is expected to improve risk perception and self-efficacy, thereby reducing premarital intimacy behavior among adolescents.

Abstract

Flooding in Bireuen Regency, Aceh (November 2025) disrupted the campus of Universitas Muhammadiyah Mahakarya Aceh (UMMAH), a university fewer than four years old. This study examined whether cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and resilience predicted academic motivation approximately one month after the flood. Using a correlational-predictive design, data were collected from 117 UMMAH students with confirmed flood exposure (response rate: 75.0%) via the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Simple regression confirmed all three predictors were individually significant. Multiple regression revealed that cognitive reappraisal (β = .36, EC = 20.9%) and resilience (β = .49, EC = 31.8%) were significant unique predictors, while expressive suppression contributed no unique variance (β = .07, p = .350). Together, the three variables explained 54.1% of variance in post-flood academic motivation (R² = .541). Findings supported targeted reappraisal and resilience-building programmes in disaster-affected universities.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study examined psychological capital's influence on work readiness among 403 final-year Indonesian undergraduate students actively completing theses. Validated Psychological Capital Questionnaire (17 items, α=0.850) and Work Readiness Scale (32 items, α=0.926) measured continuous predictor and outcome variables. Simple linear regression revealed psychological capital's exceptionally strong effect (β=0.891, R²=0.797, p<0.001), explaining 79.7% work readiness variance. Multiple regression confirmed all dimensions significantly contributed, with resilience strongest (β=0.420). Moderate levels predominated (psychological capital 68.73%, work readiness 51.86%), establishing resilience training priority for thesis supervision and pre-graduation career preparation. Cross-sectional self-report design limits causality; longitudinal employer-rated validation recommended.

Abstract

The prevalence of unhealthy snacking behavior in Indonesia remains high and has the potential to increase the risk of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors associated with  snacking habits. This study aims to determine whether emotional eating and gender are associated with snacking habits. The method used was a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. A 280 participants aged 20-55 years were involved. The research instruments consisted of a demographic questionnaire, the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), and the Self Report Habit Index (SRHI), and data analysis was performed using the Univariat GLM test. The results showed that there was a significant interaction effect of emotional eating and gender on snacking habits (p<0.05). Women were found to have higher snacking habits than men. Thus, it is important to focus more on targeting women, especially those with emotional eating tendencies, in order to raise awareness of healthier diets.

Abstract

A growing shift in parental preference from kindergarten to Bimba has emerged in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia. This research aimed to explore parental perceptions in choosing Bimba as the sole ECE for their children. A qualitative case study was conducted with six participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, in which participants also presented audio-visual materials about children’s learning activities. Data were then analyzed using thematic analysis. Four main themes were identified: parental concern, image of kindergarten in parents’ eyes, strengths of bimba, and financial consideration. These findings suggest that parental decisions are shaped by both immediate practical needs and systemic educational expectations. The study highlights the importance of strengthening public understanding of the goals and role of ECE in Indonesia.

Abstract

The emergence of the sandwich generation in Indonesia reflects increasing pressures to simultaneously support aging parents and dependent family members, creating substantial psychological demands. Despite its growing relevance, limited research has examined the psychological resources that sustain well-being in this population, particularly within collectivistic cultural contexts. This study investigates the roles of gratitude and self-compassion as complementary predictors of psychological well-being among individuals in the sandwich generation in Surabaya. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 683 participants through purposive sampling. Standardized measures of psychological well-being, gratitude, and self-compassion, adapted to the Indonesian context, were administered. Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the direct and relative contributions of the predictors. The results indicate that both gratitude and self-compassion are significant positive predictors of psychological well-being, jointly explaining approximately 45% of the variance, with gratitude emerging as the stronger predictor. At the dimensional level, psychological well-being was primarily reflected by personal growth and positive relationships, gratitude by frequency and intensity of appreciative experiences, and self-compassion by self-kindness and reduced over-identification. These findings underscore the complementary roles of gratitude and self-compassion as resilience-enhancing psychological resources and contribute to the cross-cultural literature by situating well-being within the sociocultural dynamics of the sandwich generation.

Abstract

This study examines how long-married couples sustain relational stability amid severe crises through self-managed processes of stabilization. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through sequential dyadic and individual interviews with three couples married for 25–28 years who perceived themselves as having successfully navigated past conflicts. Thematic analysis was employed to capture recurring patterns while preserving the relational and contextual nature of participants’ experiences. Findings indicate that marital resilience operates through a dynamic stabilization process involving (1) cognitive reframing, (2) emotional first aid through strategic silence, (3) dyadic repair to restore relational warmth, (4) intrapersonal ego-adjustment, and (5) structural role flexibility. Notably, silence is reinterpreted as an active regulatory practice embedded in relational contexts. The study also highlights asymmetrical emotional labor within couples, suggesting that stability is often maintained through unequal adaptive efforts. These findings extend conventional coping frameworks by conceptualizing resilience as an ongoing process of relational stabilization rather than discrete conflict resolution.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore students’ meaning-making and the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) counseling in reducing aggressive behavior among junior high school students. A qualitative approach with an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) design was employed to capture participants’ subjective experiences during the counseling process. Participants were purposively selected based on sociometric results indicating high levels of aggression and social rejection. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings revealed three main themes: aggression as emotional expression and sensation-seeking behavior, irrational beliefs underlying aggressive actions, and increased self-awareness alongside cognitive change following REBT counseling. Initially, participants perceived aggression as a normal way to express emotions, reinforced by self-justifying irrational beliefs. After the intervention, participants demonstrated cognitive restructuring, enhanced self-awareness, and more adaptive emotional responses. These findings suggest that reducing aggression involves both observable behavioral changes and deeper cognitive transformation. REBT appears to be an effective and meaningful approach for promoting rational thinking and emotional regulation among adolescents.
