Abstract

In ever-developing social dynamics, understanding gender roles is becoming increasingly important. Previous research suggests that gender can influence how individuals respond to academic and emotional challenges, with factors such as religiosity and emotional intelligence playing an important role in this process. This study investigated gender differences in religiosity, emotional intelligence, and academic resilience among students aged 12–16 years. The method used is comparative quantitative. A total of 626 students (286 males and 340 females) were selected through simple random sampling. The data collection instruments used are the religiosity scale, emotional intelligence scale, and academic resilience scale, developed independently by the researcher and tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis uses the independent sample t-test. The results of data analysis on the religiosity variable show that there is a difference of 0.000 < 0.05 in the religiosity of male and female students. In contrast, the emotional intelligence and academic resilience variables show that there is a difference in emotional intelligence of 0.145 > 0.05 and academic resilience of 0.203 > 0.05 in boys and girls. Overall, the results of this analysis provide important insights into the influence of gender on several aspects of student psychology and behavior. These results can be used to design more inclusive and gender-sensitive educational policies and programs, as well as support the holistic personal development of all individuals, regardless of gender.

Abstract

Women's empowerment efforts always encounter obstacles and challenges. This paper explores the economic empowerment of women in Saudi Arabia within the context of Saudi Vision 2030, a plan aimed at enhancing women's roles in various sectors. Although existing research has addressed women’s empowerment under this vision, a comprehensive evaluation of the government’s initiatives is still lacking. The study evaluates policies designed to economically empower women, guided by a theoretical framework based on key empowerment elements: agency, access to resources, opportunity structure, and achievement, inspired by the perspectives of Evelyn Derera and Amartya Sen. A qualitative, descriptive approach is used, incorporating secondary data analysis from literature reviews and government reports on Vision 2030. Findings reveal that reforms have increased women’s participation in economic and educational sectors, including partial removal of the male guardianship system. However, challenges such as cultural norms, nepotism, and gender discrimination continue to limit women’s access to higher leadership roles. Despite significant progress, more efforts are required to address these persistent barriers and fully empower women in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract

As a non-religious public university, Diponegoro University accommodates students from various religious and fundamentalist backgrounds. Since a person's religious values have an influence on their perspective on the values of inter-sex relationships, it is suspected that both variables also influence their perspective on these relationships. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of religiosity and religious fundamentalism on the perception of gender equality among Muslim students in Indonesia. Based on the literature review, it is hypothesized that religiosity and religious fundamentalism have a negative impact on the perception of gender equality. The study employs a quantitative approach with a survey design. Data were collected using a questionnaire specifically designed for Muslim students. The study involved 294 Muslim students from Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia. The participants were selected using a cluster sampling technique based on faculty, study program, and class. Hypothesis testing was conducted using multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that Muslim students’ perception of gender equality is negatively influenced by religiosity and religious fundamentalism. However their total contribution to the perrception is small, 6.4% for males and 5.6% for females. Further research is needed to explore this relationship in greater depth.

Abstract

In line with the employment numbers the online transportation industries have created, many problems are still related to its workers. Legal protection is needed to regulate this industry for promoting gender inclusiveness. By using the sociology of law concept and gender theory, the objective of this research is to have a comprehensive understanding of the reason for the urgency of legal protection in the scope of the online transportation industry and how it can be correlated with promoting gender-inclusiveness implementation. This article used the juridical-empirical research method. This research used a statutory approach using primary data from interviews, ministries, and departments in Indonesia and secondary data from scientific journals and books. The research found that legal protection can be the social engineering for changing societies’ mindsets and behavior toward the drivers of the online transportation industry. Also, the law is considered social control by policy-makers to implement gender-inclusiveness in Indonesia. This study shows that legal regulations designed as social engineering and social control can transform the gig economy ecosystem into a safer, fairer, and gender-inclusive workspace for female drivers.

Abstract

Women and children are two groups that are particularly susceptible to exploitation and violence. As women and children must be protected from all forms of violence and exploitation and conditioned with education and care so that all of their potential and talents can grow and develop optimally, women must be empowered to be independent and self-reliant without forgetting their nature. In order to enhance performance, this study examines urban planning and metrics of kid-friendly cities. Google Scholar is used to find credible and nationally accredited journals for this literature review, which uses articles from a variety of studies. According to the study, child-friendly cities only became popular in 2018, and very few Indonesian cities—especially Makassar—have adopted these ideas. More studies on social impact, children's autonomous mobility, playgrounds, city planning, safety, community, smart cities, kid-friendly environments, social evolution, health initiatives, transportation, and poverty are needed, according to the study. The study intends to serve as a guide for enhancing performance in cities that are kid-friendly.

Abstract

Tinder is one of the virtual spaces that allows individuals to negotiate and present themselves dynamically. Stereotypes and traditional social norms continue to influence how gender is understood and represented online, which in turn reinforces problematic biases in interactions in digital spaces. This study aims to analyze the construction of gender identity among Tinder dating app users within the framework of a digital society. Employing a qualitative method with a netnographic approach, this research involves the researcher's active participation in the Tinder platform's virtual space by observing 52 user accounts and conducting in-depth interviews with five informants. The findings reveal that Tinder users construct gender identity through visual and textual elements, including profile photos, brief bios, hobbies, and interests. Gender identity on the platform can be manipulated and diversified to represent themselves as "women" and or "men." It underscores the necessity for contextualization and redefinition of gender identity within cyberspace. The study makes a significant contribution by revealing how gender identity on Tinder challenges traditional binaries through performative practices that blur the rigid boundaries between “feminine” and “masculine” while offering new insights into gender fluidity within digital spaces as arenas for renegotiating social norms.

Abstract

Despite the positive impacts, there are challenges in how Muslim fashion is digitally represented, particularly in how social media can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes or uphold Western beauty standards shaped by colonial legacies. Therefore, critical engagement is essential to ensure a more inclusive and unbiased portrayal. This study examines postcolonial and gender representations in Indonesian Muslim fashion brands on social media using a qualitative content analysis approach. The study analyses four Instagram accounts using an interpretive framework: @vanillahijab, @winonamodest, @hijabalila, and @nusseyba.id. By integrating postcolonial and gender theories, this research critically explores the influence of colonial discourse on hijab brands in the digital space. The findings reveal that these brands' social media platforms serve as a space for cultural reclamation, challenge traditional gender roles, and offer more diverse representations of Muslim women. However, many still reflect colonial narratives, particularly in promoting Westernized beauty ideals such as fair (white/light) skin, a thin, and a tall figure. Regarding gender representation, the content predominantly depicts women as professionals actively engaged in the workforce. These highlight the need for a more conscious and inclusive approach in digital Muslim fashion branding, encouraging brands to actively challenge colonial beauty norms and promote diverse representations that resonate with Indonesia's rich cultural and ethnic identities.

Abstract

Ideological change in the representation of gemblak is an important issue in social discourse studies. This research uses Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine the representation of gemblak in mass media and the novel Gemblak: Tragedi Cinta Budak Homoseks by Enang Rokajat Asura. The research objective is to reveal the language and ideology that shape the image of gemblak. The method used is qualitative with a discourse analysis approach. Data in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences were collected through interviews and document studies. The results show that Detik News portrays gemblak positively as a figure who deserves respect, teaches politeness, and is good at socializing. In contrast, the novel frames gemblak as a negative figure, leading to bad judgment from society. This difference reflects the dynamics of power and changing social values in shaping the meaning of gem-blak. In conclusion, mass media and fiction have different ideological constructions in representing gemblak in the public sphere.

Abstract

Housing designs should not only consider aspects of form and function but should also pay attention to gender perspectives. This study aims to examine the influence of gender perspectives on the architectural design of residential housing. Employing a mixed method of a qualitative approach and a questionnaire-based online survey, this research explores user perceptions and preferences in applying gender-sensitive approaches to housing design. The findings reveal that gender-sensitive approaches are highly preferred in housing designs, with a particular emphasis on accommodating the inhabitants’ needs. The approach effectively addresses the specific needs of masculine and feminine individuals as inhabitants, which can significantly improve the quality of life within the house. This research emphasizes the urge to incorporate a gender perspective as one of the design considerations to create inclusive houses that are responsive to the needs of individuals of diverse genders.
