Abstract

The diversity of religions, cultures, and universities in Ternate City gives rise to social dynamics that are not only complex but also hold great potential to strengthen human and national solidarity, or, conversely, to foster significant disharmony. Therefore, this study aims to explore the interfaith psychological approach, empathy, and prosocial behaviors as efforts to promote harmonious social relations. Specifically, it seeks to identify forms of empathy and prosocial behavior in interfaith interactions among Muslim and non-Muslim students in Ternate City. Using a qualitative phenomenological method, this study explores students' subjective experiences in understanding and expressing empathy, and how these experiences manifest in interfaith prosocial actions. The study involved 15 respondents. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs), and analyzed using the phenomenological approach of Moustakas and Husserl, which includes the stages of epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of meaning. The research identified three main themes of empathy: Affective Empathy, arising from spiritual values; Compassionate Empathy, serving as the foundation for emotional support; and Intellectual Empathy, emphasizing rationality in conflict resolution. The study concludes that empathy and prosocial behavior are essential foundations for strengthening interfaith solidarity and contribute significantly to character development in higher education settings.

Abstract

Twelfth-grade students in modern pesantren often face stricter regulations and higher academic demands than those in regular schools, as they are required to follow both national and religious curricula within a residential setting. These conditions may influence students’ subjective well-being in school. Previous research has suggested that academic grit is associated with students’ well-being, particularly in high-demand educational contexts. This study aimed to examine the relationship between academic grit and subjective well-being in school among students in a modern pesantren. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 97 twelfth-grade students. Academic grit was measured using the Academic Grit Scale, and subjective well-being in school was assessed using the Brief Adolescents’ Subjective Well-Being in School Scale. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between academic grit and subjective well-being in school. All dimensions of academic grit were significantly correlated with subjective well-being, with determination showing the strongest association. These findings highlight the role of academic grit as an important psychological resource in supporting students’ well-being in demanding educational environments. Additionally, supplementary findings revealed that peer relationships were the most influential factor contributing to students’ positive emotional experiences. These results underscore the importance of both individual and social factors in promoting well-being among students in pesantren settings.

Abstract

The high level of competition in the labor market and the unemployment rate among university graduates in Indonesia indicate the importance of work readiness among final-year students in facing the transition from education to employment. Therefore, it is necessary to examine internal factors that contribute to the development of work readiness in final-year students. This study aims to investigate the relationship between career planning and self-efficacy with work readiness among final-year students, both simultaneously and partially. This research employed a non-experimental quantitative correlational design using multiple regression analysis. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling, specifically purposive sampling. Participants were active final-semester students aged 19–25 years from various disciplines and universities in Indonesia, regardless of gender. The instruments used were the Career Planning Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and the Work Readiness Scale. The results showed a significant positive relationship between career planning and work readiness among final-year students. Self-efficacy also demonstrated a significant positive relationship with work readiness. Furthermore, career planning and self-efficacy simultaneously showed a significant relationship with work readiness. These findings indicate that both career planning and self-efficacy play an important role in supporting students’ readiness to enter the workforce.

Abstract

Adolescence is characterised by heightened sensitivity to peer influence and increased engagement in online gaming. Although the relationship between peer conformity and gaming intensity has been widely established, limited research has examined the mediating roles of distinct emotion regulation strategies, particularly in non-metropolitan socio-cultural contexts such as Kutacane, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional survey design involving 320 secondary school students recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using standardised self-report questionnaires and analysed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that peer conformity was strongly and positively associated with online gaming intensity. It was also positively associated with expressive suppression and more weakly associated with cognitive reappraisal. Of the two emotion regulation strategies, only expressive suppression significantly mediated the relationship between peer conformity and gaming intensity, whereas cognitive reappraisal did not demonstrate a significant mediating effect. These findings suggested that peer conformity served as the primary driver of intensive gaming behaviour, while expressive suppression operated as a secondary psychological mechanism. This study contributes theoretically by differentiating the roles of emotion regulation strategies within a single mediation model and integrating Social Identity Theory and Coping Theory. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of interventions that address peer group norms, strengthen adaptive emotion regulation skills, and provide alternative social activities beyond gaming.

Abstract

Self-care has been recognized as an important factor in maintaining physical and psychological well-being; however, validated instruments for assessing self-care in the Indonesian context remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Self-Care Scale for Adults (SCS-A). The original scale developed by Gómez-Ortiz et al. (2025) consists of nine items representing two dimensions: physical and psychological self-care. A total of 500 adults aged 18 years and above in Indonesia participated in this study. The adaptation process followed the International Test Commission guidelines (ITC, 2017) to ensure linguistic and conceptual equivalence. Content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V, with coefficients ranging from .89 to 1.00, indicating high levels of expert agreement. Construct validity was examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which demonstrated a good model fit (CFI=.960; TLI=.945; RMSEA=.078; SRMR=.043). Reliability analysis using Cronbach’s alpha yielded a coefficient of .881, indicating good internal consistency. Overall, the findings provide empirical support for the psychometric validity of the Indonesian version of the SCS-A. This instrument may be used to assess self-care among adults in Indonesia in both research and applied settings. Further validation across more diverse populations is recommended to strengthen its generalizability.

Abstract

Raising children with disabilities presents complex challenges that affect multiple aspects of family life. However, previous studies indicate that disability acceptance may serve as a protective factor for family resilience and quality of life in navigating these challenges. This study aims to explore the meaning of disability acceptance among parents of children with disabilities in Indonesia. A qualitative approach using a phenomenological design was employed, and data were analyze using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with three parents in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, who were selected through purposive sampling. The findings identified six stages of acceptance, namely shock, denial, guilt, depression, rational acceptance, and spiritual acceptance. In addition, five superordinate themes describing the meaning of disability acceptance were generated: (1) transformation of meaning from a burden to a source of happiness, (2) acceptance as a repetitive and non-linear process, (3) adjustment of expectations and future planning based on the child’s potential, (4) acceptance grounded in moral values and unconditional love, and (5) spiritual acceptance as a form of surrender to destiny and life challenges. These findings indicate that disability acceptance is not only an emotional process but also a meaning-making construction influenced by personal values, family relationships, and spiritual beliefs. The study highlights the importance of culturally and spiritually sensitive support in facilitating parents’ disability acceptance processes.

Abstract

Indonesia has a population structure with a high elderly population. Therefore, a study of the quality of life among the elderly is needed. This study aimed to examine the role of emotion regulation strategies and family social support on the quality of life among the elderly.  This study employed a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional research design. Forty-three elderly aged over 60 who live with their family in Yogyakarta Special Province participated. The data was collected by WHOQOL-BREF, Family Social Support Scale and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Results from the regression analysis show emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, and family social support simultaneously have a significant role in the quality of life among the elderly. By controlling family social support and emotion regulation strategy expressive suppression, there is a significant positive relationship between emotion regulation strategy cognitive reappraisal and quality of life among the elderly. There is also a significant positive relationship between family social support and quality of life among the elderly by controlling emotion regulation strategies. However, there is no significant relationship between emotion regulation strategy expressive suppression with quality of life among the elderly. The elderly need to apply cognitive reappraisal and get family social support to reach a quality of life.

Abstract

Work engagement among police officers plays a strategic role in maintaining social stability, security, and public order within dynamic political and economic environments. The demands of police work, including long working hours, high levels of risk, and unpredictable assignments, require officers to proactively adjust their work according to their preferences, skills, and capacities in order to perform effectively. This study aims to examine the effect of job crafting and organizational justice on work engagement, as well as to test the moderating role of perceived organizational support. This study employed a quantitative approach involving 200 police officers at the Banyumas Police Resort. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Smart-PLS version 4. The results indicate that job crafting has a significant positive effect on work engagement. In addition, perceived organizational support significantly moderates the relationship between job crafting and work engagement, strengthening its positive effect. In contrast, organizational justice does not have a significant effect on work engagement, and perceived organizational support does not moderate the relationship between organizational justice and work engagement. These findings suggest that, within a hierarchical police organization, work engagement is more strongly influenced by individual initiative in managing work than by perceptions of organizational justice. The study highlights the importance of organizational support and opportunities for officers to engage in job crafting to enhance work engagement. Police organizations are encouraged to develop a more supportive and adaptive work environment to address dynamic job demands.

Abstract

Maintaining hypertension management among older adults remains a major challenge, particularly in maintaining medication adherence and sustaining healthy lifestyle behaviors. This study aimed to develop and validate a social support–based self-management training program designed to improve treatment adherence among older adults with hypertension. The study employed a mixed-methods Research and Development (R&D) design adapted from the Borg and Gall model, which was simplified into five stages: needs assessment, planning, product development, preliminary field testing, and revision. The study involved 10 older adults with hypertension who met the specified inclusion criteria. The findings indicated that the developed training module demonstrated satisfactory feasibility and initial validity based on expert evaluation and preliminary field testing. In addition, implementation of the training program was associated with improvements in participants’ adherence behaviors related to hypertension management. The integration of self-management strategies with social support mechanisms, including family involvement and caregiver support, contributed to strengthening participants’ behavioral awareness, motivation, and adherence to treatment routines. The findings also provide important theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, this study supports the application of the biopsychosocial perspective and Social Cognitive Theory in understanding behavioral change among older adults with chronic illnesses. Practically, the developed module may serve as a structured educational intervention that can be implemented within primary health care settings to support sustainable hypertension management among older adults. Overall, these findings suggest that integrating self-management and social support represents a promising approach to improving treatment adherence among older adults with hypertension.
