Abstract

Intense religious ministry demands often lead to stress and burnout, which in turn affect personal well-being. This study aims to examine whether differentiation of self can predict the well-being of church activists in Indonesia. The hypothesis proposed is maintaining identity and relational sensitivity would positively contribute to well-being, whereas emotional distancing would contribute negatively. This research employed a quantitative, non-experimental with total of 109 church activists in the Greater Jakarta area participated through an online survey using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation and multiple regression via the JASP program. The results indicated that differentiation of self significantly predicted well-being. Specifically, maintaining identity positively contributed to well-being (β = .37, p .01), while emotional distancing contributed negatively (β = −.29, p = .01), and relational sensitivity was not a significant predictor (β = −.10, p = .29). These findings suggest that the ability to maintain a stable sense of identity under pressure and to sustain a balanced emotional distance plays an important role in enhancing the well-being of church activists.

Abstract

Pregnancy is often accompanied by anxiety, particularly as childbirth approaches, which may adversely affect the physical and psychological well-being of both the mother and the fetus. This study aimed to examine the role of emotional maturity in childbirth anxiety among pregnant women in Bangkalan Regency. It was hypothesized that emotional maturity significantly influences childbirth anxiety. This study used a quantitative approach using simple linear regression analysis. The participants comprised 100 pregnant women in Bangkalan Regency, aged 23–35 years, with a gestational age of more than 30 weeks. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) with 31 items and an Emotional Maturity Scale with 30 items. The results showed that emotional maturity had a significant effect on childbirth anxiety among pregnant women (F = 17.575, p 0.01; β = −0.402, t = −4.192, p 0.01). These findings indicate that emotional maturity plays a significant role in reducing childbirth-related anxiety among pregnant women in Bangkalan Regency. Specifically, pregnant women with higher levels of emotional maturity tend to experience lower levels of anxiety as they approach childbirth.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between digital competence, academic self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and academic engagement among undergraduate students in Jakarta. The study hypothesizes that digital competence, academic self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence are positively associated with academic engagement simultaneously. A quantitative non-experimental design was employed using a non-probability convenience sampling technique, and data were collected through questionnaires administered to 211 participants. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings support the proposed hypotheses. Digital competence demonstrated the strongest positive effect on academic engagement (β = 0.459), followed by academic self-efficacy (β = 0.406) and emotional intelligence (β = 0.367). Collectively, these variables explained 71.8% of the variance in academic engagement (R² = 0.718). These findings suggest that developing students’ personal capacities is essential for sustaining academic persistence within increasingly digitalized higher education environments.

Abstract

Restrained eating is strongly suspected to be a manifestation of the underlying psychological stress contributing to the problem of non-ideal nutritional status among cadets in a semi-military government institute. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and prove the significant influence of cadetts' body image and self-esteem on the tendency for restrained eating in this semi-military school environment. The sampling technique used was probability sampling with sample consisted of 136 participants from a total population of 218. Research data was collected using the restrained eating scale, the body image scale, and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES). The results of multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS showed that: (1) Body image and self-esteem collectively have a significant influence on restrained eating (p= 0.00; F=8.834); (2) Body image individually does not have a significant influence  on restrained eating (p= 0.986; β= -0,042); and (3) Self-esteem individually has a significant influence on restrained eating (p= 0.00; β= 0,73). Authors highlight the complex psychological dynamics that influence eating behavior within a semi-military educational environment

Abstract

Career engagement refers to an individual’s involvement in their career development activities and is closely associated with career satisfaction and commitment to a chosen profession. External factors, such as parent-child career goal congruence, and internal factors, such as proactive career behavior, are considered important determinants of career engagement. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parent-child career goal congruence, proactive career behavior, and career engagement among university students. Using a quantitative survey approach, the study involved 237 psychology students aged 18-21 years from a university in Yogyakarta. Data were collected using the Career Engagement Scale, the Parent-Child Career Goal Congruence Scale, and the Proactive Career Behaviour Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant relationship among parent-child career goal congruence, proactive career behavior, and career engagement (p 0.001). The two independent variables jointly contributed 18.1% of the variance in career engagement. The findings indicate that students whose career goals are highly congruent with their parents' and who demonstrate proactive career behavior tend to be more actively engaged in their career development. These results have important implications for parents, higher education institutions, and career counselors in supporting students’ career engagement and facilitating the achievement of their professional goals.

Abstract

Working memory is a limited-capacity cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage, processing, and manipulation of information to support various cognitive tasks. One factor that may influence working memory performance is emotion. This study aimed to examine the effect of positive emotion on visuospatial working memory capacity among university students. A quasi-experimental design with a randomized pretest–posttest control group design was employed. Thirty-two undergraduate students (aged 18–23 years; 20 females and 12 males) without a history of neurological or psychiatric disorders participated in the study. The intervention involved the presentation of a fifthteen minute video designed to induce positive emotion, while the control group viewed a neutral video of the same duration. The Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) was used to assess emotional states, and the Corsi Block Tapping Task (CBTT) was administered to measure visuospatial working memory capacity. Data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test.  The results indicated no significant difference in the improvement of CBTT scores between the experimental and control groups, t(30)= 0.38, p = .71, p .05.These findings indicate that positive emotion does not have a significant effect on visuospatial working memory capacity among university students.
