<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the relationship between the dimensions of forgiveness (avoidance motivation, revenge motivation, and benevolence motivation) and childhood emotional wounds in early adulthood from the perspective of motivational theories of forgiveness. Although previous research has demonstrated that forgiveness is associated with psychological well-being, the multidimensional mechanisms linking each dimension of forgiveness to childhood emotional wounds remain insufficiently understood. This study employed a quantitative correlational design involving 234 early-adulthood university students (M = 20.87; SD = 1.42; 78.6% female). Data were collected using validated Likert-scale psychological instruments and analyzed using Pearson product–moment correlation. The results indicated that avoidance motivation (r = -0.232; p < 0.001) and revenge motivation (r = -0.304; p < 0.001) were significantly negatively associated with childhood emotional wounds, whereas benevolence motivation showed no significant relationship (r = -0.028; p = 0.670). These findings suggest that reductions in childhood emotional wounds are more closely associated with decreases in negative motivations rather than increases in benevolent intentions toward others. Theoretically, the results reinforce the view that forgiveness is a multidimensional emotion regulation process rather than merely a prosocial orientation. Practically, emotion regulation-based interventions such as mindfulness and cognitive restructuring may be utilized to reduce avoidance and revenge motivations among individuals with past emotional wounds.]]>

<![CDATA[Moral resilience is a critical aspect of adolescent development, particularly within vocational education contexts characterized by substantial social and professional pressures. However, the psychological mechanisms explaining the role of religious awareness in fostering moral resilience remain underexplored. This study aimed to examine the relationship between religious awareness and moral resilience among vocational high school students. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional correlational design as a preliminary investigation. A total of 26 students (M age = 16.50, SD = 0.85) from a single class at Al-Ishlah Vocational High School, Palangka Raya, Indonesia, participated using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between religious awareness and moral resilience (r = .769, p < .001). Regression analysis indicated that religious awareness significantly predicted moral resilience (R² = .592, p < .001). Religious awareness plays an important psychological role in shaping students’ moral resilience. The findings support the perspective that the internalization of religious values contributes to moral regulation within vocational adolescent contexts. ]]>

<![CDATA[Student adaptation during the early transition to higher education is a critical aspect closely related to academic success, social functioning, and psychological well-being. Based on Self-Regulation Theory and the Theory of Student Adjustment, self-control is conceptualized as a key psychological factor that contributes to successful student adaptation. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-control and college adjustment among first-year psychology students at Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational design was employed. A total of 98 first-semester students participated in the study and were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Self-Control Scale and a Student Adjustment Scale with established validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between self-control and student adjustment, r(96) = 0.772, p < 0.001. These findings indicate that students with higher levels of self-control tend to demonstrate better adaptation in dealing with academic, social, personal-emotional, and institutional demands during the transition to university. This study provides empirical support for the role of self-regulation in student adjustment processes and highlights the importance of developing self-control enhancement programs to support successful adaptation among first-year university students.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examined the relationship between job crafting and work engagement among employees at Bina Kasih General Hospital based on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) Theory. Although previous research has demonstrated a positive association between job crafting and work engagement, the underlying empirical evidence remains limited, particularly in healthcare contexts in developing countries. A total of N = 122 hospital employees participated in this study using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Job Crafting Scale based on the Tims and Bakker model and the Work Engagement Scale based on the Schaufeli and Bakker framework. Both instruments showed good internal consistency (α = 0.920 for job crafting; α = 0.849 for work engagement). Data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation via IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between job crafting and work engagement (r = 0.735, p < .001), indicating that employees who actively modify and optimize their work tend to demonstrate higher levels of work engagement. These findings contribute to the extension of the JD-R model and provide practical implications for enhancing employee engagement in hospital settings through the promotion of job crafting behaviors.]]>

<![CDATA[Peer conformity is considered a key social factor that may contribute to students’ tendencies to adopt a hedonistic lifestyle. Despite increasing concerns regarding hedonistic behaviors among university students, empirical research examining the role of peer conformity within the Indonesian higher education context remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between peer conformity and hedonistic lifestyle tendencies among university students. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 243 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Psychology at a university in Indonesia, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale instruments measuring peer conformity and hedonistic lifestyle tendencies. The results of Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between peer conformity and hedonistic lifestyle tendencies (r = 0.571, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that higher levels of peer conformity are associated with stronger tendencies toward a hedonistic lifestyle. The study contributes to social psychological literature by emphasizing the role of peer dynamics in shaping lifestyle behaviors during emerging adulthood. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of developing educational interventions and peer influence management programs to promote healthier lifestyle choices and psychological well-being among university students. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to examine the relationship between Job Demands and Workplace Well-Being among nurses at RSU Bina Kasih Medan based on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) Theory framework. This correlational quantitative study involved 121 nurses selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable Job Demands and Workplace Well-Being scales and analyzed using Pearson Product–Moment correlation analysis. The results revealed a very strong and statistically significant negative relationship between Job Demands and Workplace Well-Being (r = −.915, p < .001, 95% CI [−.94, −.88]). These findings indicate that higher levels of job demands are closely associated with lower levels of nurses’ workplace well-being. Furthermore, Job Demands explained 83.7% of the variance in Workplace Well-Being (r² = .837), indicating a substantial contribution of job demands to workplace well-being. These findings support the JD-R Theory, which posits that high job demands may deplete individuals’ psychological resources and reduce well-being when not adequately balanced by sufficient job resources. This study contributes empirical evidence to the literature on workplace well-being in the healthcare sector, particularly in the context of Indonesian nurses, and underscores the importance of effective workload management in enhancing well-being in hospital settings.]]>

<![CDATA[Academic burnout has emerged as a significant mental health concern among students, particularly vocational high school students who are required to cope with both academic demands and practical learning activities simultaneously. Self-awareness is considered a protective psychological factor that enables individuals to recognize and understand their emotions, thoughts, strengths, and limitations when dealing with academic pressures. However, empirical evidence regarding the relationship between self-awareness and academic burnout among vocational high school students remains limited. This study aimed to examine the association between self-awareness and academic burnout among vocational high school students. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 112 tenth-grade students from a vocational high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using self-awareness and academic burnout scales that demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability. Spearman’s rho correlation analysis was performed because the data did not fully satisfy the assumption of normality. The findings revealed a significant negative relationship between self-awareness and academic burnout (ρ = −.56, p < .001), indicating that students with higher levels of self-awareness tended to report lower levels of academic burnout. The magnitude of the correlation suggests that self-awareness serves as an important protective psychological factor in coping with academic demands. These findings extend the literature on the role of self-awareness in vocational education settings and provide practical implications for developing self-awareness-based interventions to promote adolescent mental health and prevent academic burnout among vocational high school students. ]]>

<![CDATA[Self-regulated learning is typically conceptualized as a protective factor against academic procrastination. However, its role may be more complex in high-demand academic contexts such as undergraduate thesis completion. This study investigated the direct and indirect effects of self-regulated learning and smartphone addiction on academic procrastination, with academic stress as a mediator, thereby integrating three constructs that have rarely been examined within a single model among final-year students. A cross-sectional design was applied to a purposive sample of 315 final-year undergraduate students in the Greater Jakarta area. Participants completed the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (TPS), the College Student Self-Regulated Learning Scale, the Smartphone Addiction Inventory, and the Academic Stress Inventory (ASI). Path analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized relationships. Contrary to conventional assumptions, self-regulated learning showed a significant positive association with academic procrastination (β = .206), suggesting that heightened self-regulation may co-occur with maladaptive processes such as perfectionism and overplanning. Moreover, self-regulated learning exerted a significant indirect effect on procrastination through academic stress (β = −.213). Smartphone addiction was also positively associated with academic procrastination (β = .172), but this effect was not mediated by academic stress. These findings refine theoretical accounts of self-regulated learning by highlighting its context-dependent effects and underscore the distinct role of smartphone addiction in academic procrastination.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the essence of gratitude as a psychospiritual coping mechanism among dual-role mothers working in labor-intensive industrial sectors. A key gap in the existing literature lies in the dominance of Western positive psychology perspectives, which tend to be secular and individualistic, thereby overlooking the transcendental dimension in coping processes. Furthermore, there is a scarcity of studies that specifically position gratitude as a coping system for working mothers with dual burdens in religious contexts within the Global South. Employing a Husserlian descriptive phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three working mothers in Sukoharjo Regency. The findings reveal that gratitude functions as a dynamic and integrated coping system through three primary dimensions: (1) syukr qalbi as an emotional shield through acceptance of divine decree (qana’ah); (2) syukr amali, which sacralizes work-related burdens as acts of worship; and (3) syukr lisani as a form of verbal emotion regulation. Theoretically, this study contributes to Islamic psychology by integrating Al-Ghazali’s concept of gratitude into contemporary coping theory through a transcendental meaning-making mechanism. Practically and academically, these findings provide a foundation for developing culturally grounded mental health interventions and offer a novel perspective for cross-cultural psychology on how spiritual values can mitigate the impact of role conflict amid economic challenges.]]>

<![CDATA[Work engagement is a critical factor in enhancing employee performance, particularly in the public sector where service quality is a primary priority. However, maintaining high levels of work engagement remains a challenge, especially within bureaucratic organizational contexts. Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) Theory, psychological empowerment can be understood as a key personal resource that fosters employee motivation and engagement. This study aims to examine the effect of psychological empowerment on work engagement among public sector employees. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 340 civil servants using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression. The results indicate that psychological empowerment significantly predicts work engagement (p < .001). The coefficient of determination (R² = .282) suggests that psychological empowerment accounts for 28.2% of the variance in work engagement. These findings highlight the important role of psychological empowerment as a personal resource in enhancing employee engagement, particularly within public sector organizations. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from an emerging economy context and underscores the importance of strengthening psychological empowerment to foster higher levels of work engagement.]]>
