Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of sensory integration therapy inimproving the writing skills of children with special needs at the N-Ergy Psychology Center.A qualitative experimental method was adopted, specifically a Single Subject Research (SSR)design with an A-B-A' pattern. The sample consisted of 3 children subjected to psychomotortherapy at the center. Data were collected using a tracing test, the Beery VMI, VisualPerception and Motor Coordination subtests, as well as handwriting observation. Analysiswas conducted visually and presented in the form of tables and graphs to reflect changes insubjects' behavior before, during, and after the intervention. The results showed animprovement in writing skills across all participants. Sample MAB had a mean score of 0.333in Phase A-1, which increased to 3.692 in Phase B, and 6 in Phase A-2. The mean score ofAFR increased from 4 in Phase A-1 to 8.077 in Phase B, and further to 13.33 in Phase A-2.SANA increased from 13 in Phase A-1 to 15.231 in Phase B, and slightly decreased to 14 inPhase A-2. In addition to improved tracing test scores, enhancements were also observed inthe Beery VMI scores, Visual Perception and Motor Coordination subtests, as well ashandwriting quality. These results suggest that sensory integration therapy has a positiveeffect on improving the writing skills of children with special needs. Therapy can beeffectively implemented in individualized settings in therapy institutions by providingappropriate sensory stimulation and engaging parents actively to achieve optimal outcomes.

Abstract

In recent years, the validity and relevance of psychological measurement tools have become a major research concern, particularly when used in different cultural contexts. One psychological construct that demonstrates the urgency of accurate measurement is persevering hope—a form of hope that persists in conditions of uncertainty and adversity. This study aimed to adapt the Persevering Hope Scale into the Indonesian language and examine its validity evidence based on internal structure and its relationship with flourishing among adolescents in the Jabodetabek area. This research employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 924 adolescents were selected using convenience sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with AMOS to assess the validity and reliability of the instrument, as well as Spearman correlation analysis to examine the relationship between persevering hope and flourishing. The CFA results indicated that only 4 out of the original 15 items demonstrated a good model fit for the Indonesian population (CFI = 1.000; RMSEA = 0.000). Additionally, the scale showed good reliability, with a Composite Reliability (CR) of 0.833 and an Average Variance Extracted (AVE) of 0.56. Since the data did not meet the assumption of multivariate normality, Bollen-Stine Bootstrap testing was conducted, yielding a p-value of 0.441 (> 0.05), indicating an acceptable model. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between persevering hope and flourishing (r = 0.510, p < 0.01). These findings suggest that higher levels of persevering hope are associated with greater levels of flourishing among adolescents. The implications of this study highlight the importance of developing interventions to enhance persevering hope as a means to support adolescent mental well-being.

Abstract

Psychological well-being is characterized by low stress levels and influenced by financial factors. Therefore, this research aims to determine the effect of financial behavior on stress mediated by financial well-being. An instrument validation test was conducted with 200 participants, followed by a hypothesis model including 266 individuals aged 20–40 years with irregular income patterns. Monte Carlo simulations suggested that a sample of 200 was estimated to produce statistical power approaching 0.8 using a purposive non-probability method. Stress instrument, Financial Management Behavior Scale, and Financial Well-being Scale from DASS-21, Dew and Xiao (2011), and Prawitz (2006) were adopted, respectively. According to the hypothesis, financial well-being mediated the relationship between behavior and stress. Data analysis was performed using an efficient macro process in the statistical analysis process. The results showed that financial well-being had a full mediating role in the influence of financial behavior on stress. The primary contribution of this research lies in offering insights into stress reduction through the enhancement of financial well-being.

Abstract

Developmental tasks are a series of responsibilities that arise at each stage of life. Inchildren with intellectual disabilities, the development of independence has been observed toface more complex challenges due to certain limitations. To effectively support theindependence of this demographic, the role of the family in protecting respective rights has beenidentified to be an important aspect. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the correlation andeffect of mother-child interaction (MCI) on independence of children (IC) with intellectualdisabilities in Bogor City. The subjects consisted of 155 mothers who had children withintellectual disabilities aged 2-18 years. In order to achieve the stated objective, data werecollected using a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling method. Theinstruments used include the Parent-Child Relationship Schema Scale (PCRSS) developed byDixon et al. (2014) and Children Helping Out: Responsibilities, Expectations, and Support(CHORES) model introduced by Dun (2004). The results showed the presence of a positivecorrelation between MCI and IC (path coefficient (β) = .362, p = .000). Furthermore, severaldimensions of MCI, such as attention, mutual assistance, and affection, were significantly relatedto the independence of the observed demographic. Based on these results, it was inferred that ahealthy MCI led to the instillation of a higher level of independence in children with intellectualdisabilities. The effect test results showed a significant positive effect between MCI and IC, witha path coefficient of .371, a t-value of 4.016, and a very low p-value (p < .000). This reflected thatMCI had a significant impact on IC level.

Abstract

Adolescents frequently engage in spending behavior as part of their daily routines,but little is known about how such behavior contributes to their emotional well-being.Previous studies have shown that prosocial spending promotes happiness, yet most of thisresearch has been conducted in individualistic cultures and with adult participants. Thecurrent study aims to investigate whether remembering different types and amounts ofspending experiences affects adolescents' happiness and future behavioral intentions.Involving 127 adolescents aged 15–18 years, this research employed a 2x2 between-subjectsdesign using a recall-based task comparing the effects of spending money on oneself andothers at two different amounts (Rp 5,000 and Rp 20,000). Participants were instructed torecall a prior spending experience, complete the Subjective Happiness Scale, and choose thetype of spending they believed would bring them happiness. ANOVA results showed thatprosocial spending, especially at higher amounts, significantly increased happinesscompared to personal spending. However, logistic regression revealed that subsequentspending decisions were more influenced by the recall-based task context than currenthappiness levels. These findings highlight that recalling emotionally salient acts of givingenhances happiness, but subsequent behavioral intentions appeared to be shaped more bycontextual framing than by current emotional states. The practical implications highlight theimportance of integrating prosocial values into education and psychological interventions foradolescents, particularly within collectivist cultural contexts.

Abstract

Off-task behavior is described as undesired actions in a classroom learning situation. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the implementation of a token economy in reducing off-task behavior among elementary school students. The sample consisted of five elementary school teachers based on the location and a descriptive qualitative method was adopted using a case study. Additionally, data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were processed using domain analysis through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research showed that the implementation of token economy effectively reduced off-task behavior among students during the learning process. The implemented token economy comprised positive and negative reinforcement and punishment, as well as rewards and penalties. Moreover, other methods, such as ice-breaking activities, advice, and motivation, were used as additional reinforcements or support in mitigating off-task behavior among students.
