Emotion Regulation in Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Middle School Students: A Bibliometric Analysis
type: item
description: Attention to the psychological well-being and academic achievement of high school students is increasing as the academic and emotional demands faced by students are high. Emotion regulation is seen as a key factor that affects learning adaptation, cognitive function, and academic achievement, so mindfulness emerges as a promising intervention in educational contexts. This study aims to systematically analyze the impact of mindfulness interventions on the regulation of emotions and academic achievement of high school students through a meta-analysis approach. The research method uses meta-analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental studies published in the 2010–2023 period, with the article selection process following the stages of identification, screening, and eligibility until 30 articles that meet the inclusion and methodological quality criteria are obtained. The results of the study showed that mindfulness interventions had a consistent positive effect on improving students' emotional regulation and improving academic achievement, both directly and through mediation mechanisms such as academic self-efficacy, academic buoyancy, mind-wandering reduction, and self-regulation. The findings also suggest that interventions implemented in a structured, sustainable manner, and supported by trained facilitators tend to produce stronger effects. The implications of this study confirm that the integration of evidence-based mindfulness interventions into the school environment has the potential to support the holistic development of students' emotional well-being and academic achievement, as well as the basis for the formulation of educational policies and practices that are more responsive to students' psychological needs. Perhatian terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis dan prestasi akademik siswa sekolah menengah atas semakin meningkat seiring dengan tingginya tuntutan akademik dan emosional yang mereka hadapi.

Behind Productivity: How Workload Affects Employee Well-being?
type: item
description: Employee well-being is an essential factor that determines organizational stability and productivity, particularly in the manufacturing sector where work demands are relatively high. An imbalance in workload may reduce employees’ physical and psychological conditions, thereby affecting their performance. This study aims to examine the effect of workload on employee well-being at CV. X, a tile manufacturing company in Yogyakarta. The research employed a quantitative approach using the NASA-TLX workload scale and the Employee Well-Being Scale. The study involved 65 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using simple regression. The results indicate a significant negative effect of workload on employee well-being, with a regression coefficient of -0.363 (p < 0.05). The R Square value of 0.218 shows that workload contributes 21.8% to the variation in employee well-being. These findings confirm that higher perceived workload is associated with lower levels of employee well-being. The implications highlight the importance of effective workload management, equitable task distribution, and supportive organizational policies to maintain employees’ physical and psychological well-being, thus ensuring sustained productivity and operational continuity within the company.

Individual Readiness for Change in Public Sector Organizations: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: Organizational change has become an inevitable phenomenon in the public sector, driven by rapid technological advancement, administrative reform, and increasing public demands for efficient and transparent services, requiring not only structural adjustments but also strong individual readiness to ensure successful transformation. This study aims to examine individual readiness for organizational change in public sector organizations by focusing on psychological, organizational, and technological factors that influence such readiness. The research employs a systematic literature review method, analyzing peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2020–2026 in English, covering psychological dimensions such as self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and resilience; organizational aspects including leadership, culture, and support; and technological elements such as digital competence and literacy. The findings reveal that individual readiness is shaped by the interaction between internal and external factors, where psychological aspects like self-efficacy, perception of change, intrinsic motivation, coping capacity, and adaptability play a critical role, while supportive leadership, effective communication, adaptive organizational culture, and institutional support further strengthen readiness; moreover, the growing integration of digital technologies increases the demand for technical skills, cognitive preparedness, and behavioral acceptance. The study implies that comprehensive change management strategies are essential, emphasizing the strengthening of psychological factors, enhancement of organizational support systems, and development of technological competencies through continuous training, participatory communication, and the cultivation of an adaptive organizational culture to support effective and sustainable public sector transformation.

Technological Adaptation in Post-School Education: A Systematic Review of Design and Application Trends in Technology-Enhanced Learning Environments
type: item
description: The growth in the use of technology with regard to learning in post-school education has shifted focus onto the psychological mechanisms behind engagement and performance of learners. Rather than just focusing on the technology, a systematic literature review which synthesizes 40, peer-reviewed, academic writings on this subject published between 2015 and 2024 examines how new technologies impact key psychological processes. Constructivist learning theory, self-determination theory and social cognitive theory framed the thematic synthesis which led to five major psychological themes. Immersive environments provide support for embodied cognition (cognitive processing through sensory input) and promote a deeper level of conceptualization of the subject(s) studied; Artificial intelligence and learning analytics provide perception of competence and self-regulation through adaptive feedback to learners; Mobile and blended instructional models facilitate autonomy and agency for learners; Intelligent Institute systems provide systemic personalization which facilitates sustained engagement by learners; and Gamification and simulation-based environments foster intrinsic motivation and collaborative efficacy. The findings indicate that tech-enhanced learning environments function as structured psychological ecosystems which affect behavioral, cognitive and social processes, related to motivation, cognitive activation and social interaction. This literature review adds to the field of educational psychology by defining the ways in which digital environments mediate learning through the motivational and cognitive pathways. Pertumbuhan penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran di pendidikan pascasekolah telah menggeser fokus ke mekanisme psikologis di balik keterlibatan dan kinerja peserta didik.

Understanding Tourist Behavior through Psychological Theories : A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: Although research on tourist behavior has expanded significantly, studies integrating various psychological determinants into a comprehensive framework remain limited and fragmented, and the lack of research combining bibliometric analysis with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach has resulted in an incomplete holistic understanding of research trends and key influencing factors. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize the main psychological determinants influencing tourist behavior while identifying publication trends and scholarly contributions in this field. This study employs an SLR approach using the PRISMA framework and the Scopus database, analyzing 50 reputable journal articles published between 2010 and 2025, complemented by bibliometric analysis to examine publication trends, citation impact, and scientific contributions. The findings reveal that tourist behavior is influenced by key psychological factors, including cognitive evaluation, emotional engagement, destination image, social influence, travel motivation, risk perception, and digital media exposure, along with a significant increase in academic interest reflected in an annual publication growth rate of 31.01% and an average of 104.21 citations per document. Emotional experiences, personal motivation, and social interactions emerge as dominant factors influencing travel intention and destination loyalty. Overall, this study highlights the importance of integrating psychological perspectives into tourism research, contributing theoretically by synthesizing previously fragmented literature and offering practical implications for industry stakeholders in designing more engaging, personalized, and sustainable tourism experiences. Meskipun penelitian mengenai perilaku wisatawan telah berkembang pesat, kajian yang mengintegrasikan berbagai determinan psikologis dalam satu kerangka komprehensif masih terbatas dan cenderung terfragmentasi, serta minimnya studi yang mengombinasikan analisis biblio…

Constructing Personal Branding as Self-Representation: A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: The rapid development of digital communication technologies has fundamentally transformed how individuals construct, present, and manage their identities in contemporary society. However, most previous studies have emphasized personal branding primarily as a marketing strategy rather than as a process of identity construction and self-representation, resulting in a conceptual gap in understanding the psychological, social, and symbolic dimensions of personal branding. This study aims to analyze personal branding as a process of identity construction and self-representation in the digital context, as well as to identify conceptual patterns, thematic developments, and its professional implications. The research method employs a systematic literature review using the PRISMA approach on Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2010 and 2026. A total of 738 articles were identified in the initial stage, and after the selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 47 articles were obtained and analyzed bibliometrically and thematically using co-occurrence analysis, publication trends, and citation impact. The findings indicate that personal branding is a multidimensional process that integrates psychological identity construction, symbolic communication, and social interaction within digital environments. Authenticity, digital visibility, and social interaction emerge as key elements in shaping credibility, professional recognition, and career opportunities. Furthermore, digital platforms function as primary spaces for identity construction, enabling individuals to actively manage their self-representation and build professional legitimacy. The implications of this study affirm that personal branding is not merely a communication strategy, but a psychological and social process that plays a crucial role in professional identity development, employability enhancement, and career mobility in the digital era, while also contributing theoretically to th…

Job Stress as a Mediating Variable: Can Work-Life Balance Improve the Performance of Generation Z Employees in IT Consulting Companies?
type: item
description: In a dynamic IT development work environment, Generation Z employees face high demands for preparedness and adaptation, which has the potential to increase work stress and have an impact on decreased performance, especially when work-life balance is not optimally met. This study aims to examine the effect of work-life balance on employee performance, with work stress as a mediator. Participants in this study were 194 generation Z employees in IT development companies who were selected using a total sampling technique. There are three scales used in this study: the Individual Work Performance Scale (IWPQ), the Work-life Balance Scale, and the Job Stress Scale (JSS). Data analysis used Hayes' mediated regression analysis model 4 in the SPSS application. The results of the study indicate that work stress partially mediates the influence between work-life balance and employee performance. The results of the analysis indicate that work-life balance has a significant effect on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through work stress. This means that work stress has been proven to play a partial mediation role between work-life balance and employee performance. Dalam lingkungan kerja IT development yang dinamis, karyawan generasi Z menghadapi tuntutan kesiapsiagaan dan adaptasi yang tinggi, yang berpotensi meningkatkan stres kerja dan berdampak pada penurunan kinerja, terutama ketika work-life balance tidak terpenuhi secara optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh work-life balance terhadap kinerja karyawan, dengan stres kerja sebagai mediasi. Partisipan pada penelitian ini adalah 194 karyawan generasi Z pada perusahaan IT development yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Ada 3 skala yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu Skala Individual Work Performance (IWPQ), Work-life Balance Scale dan Skala Job Stress Scale (JSS). Analisis data menggunakan mediated regression analysis model 4 dari Hayes pada aplikasi SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunju…

Hustle Culture and Work-Life Balance in the Digital Live Streaming Industry: The Role of Employee Engagement
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of the digital live streaming industry has intensified productivity norms that encourage constant performance and sustained online presence. This study examines the relationship between hustle culture and work–life balance among digital live streamers, with employee engagement positioned as a mediating mechanism. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 226 active live streamers. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that hustle culture has a significant negative direct effect on work-life balance, while positively predicting employee engagement. Employee engagement partially mediates the relationship, suggesting that although hustle-oriented norms enhance motivational involvement, they simultaneously generate strain that undermines balance. The structural model explains 38% of the variance in work-life balance. These findings highlight the dual role of hustle culture as both an energizing and strain-inducing force in algorithm-driven work environments. Promoting sustainable digital careers requires balancing performance expectations with recovery-supportive practices to protect psychological well-being. Pesatnya perkembangan industri live streaming digital telah memperkuat norma produktivitas yang mendorong performa secara terus-menerus dan kehadiran daring yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara hustle culture dan work–life balance pada para live streamer digital, dengan employee engagement sebagai mekanisme mediasi.

Learning Management System Implementation in Online Education: A Case Study on Student Psychological Dynamics
type: item
description: The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed higher education, particularly through the implementation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in online learning. LMS functions not only as a technological tool but also as a psychological environment that influences how students regulate their learning, interpret academic experiences, and manage emotional responses. Therefore, this study aims to explore students’ psychological dynamics in LMS-based learning, focusing on psychological adaptation, learning motivation, and emotional well-being within digital learning environments. This study employed a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to understand how students subjectively construct meaning from their lived experiences in online learning. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with students who actively used LMS and analyzed through iterative reading, coding, and thematic development to identify core psychological themes. The findings revealed three major themes: psychological adaptation and self-regulation, student motivation and engagement, and emotional experience and psychological well-being. Initially, students experienced confusion and difficulty managing independent learning; however, over time, they developed greater autonomy, self-discipline, and academic confidence. LMS enhanced motivation through flexible access, interactive features, and feedback, although technical challenges occasionally caused frustration and reduced engagement. Additionally, LMS provided emotional comfort and flexibility but also introduced risks of isolation and digital fatigue. The implications of this study suggest that LMS should be understood not only as an instructional technology but also as a psychological learning environment that shapes students’ cognitive, emotional, and motivational development.

Workload and Burnout Among Urban Delivery Couriers: Evidence from the Indonesian Logistics Sector
type: item
description: The rapid expansion of the logistics industry has intensified job demands for courier workers, increasing their vulnerability to burnout. This study examines the relationship between workload and burnout among couriers at PT. JNE Express Main Branch in Medan, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was employed using total sampling, involving 93 couriers. Data were collected using a 29-item Workload Scale and a 32-item Burnout Scale based on Maslach’s framework. Reliability analysis indicated high internal consistency (α = .888 for workload; α = .928 for burnout). Pearson product–moment correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between workload and burnout (r = .733, p < .001), with workload explaining 53.8% of the variance in burnout (r² = .538). Although descriptive findings indicated that both workload and burnout were at relatively low levels, the strong correlation suggests that even small variations within these low levels are associated with substantial increases in burnout, indicating a structurally sensitive relationship between job demands and employee well-being. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that workload operates as a dominant and multidimensional predictor of burnout within the underexplored courier sector, particularly in a developing country context. These findings extend the applicability of the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model by highlighting the sensitivity of burnout risk even under moderate demand conditions. Practically, the results underscore the importance of proactive workload management, as incremental increases in job demands may significantly elevate psychological risk. Pesatnya perkembangan industri logistik telah meningkatkan tuntutan kerja bagi kurir, yang berpotensi meningkatkan risiko burnout. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara beban kerja dan burnout pada kurir di PT. JNE Express Cabang Utama Medan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif korelasional…

When Anxiety Erodes Intimacy: A Phenomenological Portrait of Marital Distress in Generation Z
type: item
description: The phenomenon of delayed marriage among Generation Z indicates a value shift driven by deep-seated anxiety regarding potential marital distress. Economic factors do not merely trigger this hesitation but are deeply rooted in childhood experiences under authoritarian and neglectful parenting, which shape a traumatic perception of long-term commitment. Using a phenomenological approach, this study aims to explore how Generation Z individuals with such parenting backgrounds perceive their anxiety toward marriage. Thematic analysis was conducted on data from in-depth interviews with three Generation Z subjects (two females and one male). The findings confirm that marriage anxiety is a psychological construction stemming from primary relational experiences within the nuclear family. Neglectful and authoritarian parenting significantly distorts the subject's cognitive schemas, causing marriage to be perceived as a “high-risk relationship” that threatens affective stability. These dynamics are mapped into three major themes reflecting components of marital quality: dyadic consensus (alignment in values and life decisions), dyadic satisfaction (happiness in the relationship), and dyadic cohesion (emotional bond and togetherness). This study concludes that for Generation Z survivors of dysfunctional parenting, delaying marriage serves as a defense mechanism against the repetition of past trauma. Fenomena penundaan usia pernikahan pada Generasi Z mengindikasikan adanya pergeseran nilai yang didorong oleh kecemasan mendalam terhadap potensi marital distress. Keraguan ini tidak semata dipicu oleh faktor ekonomi, melainkan berakar kuat pada pengalaman masa kecil di bawah pola asuh authoritarian dan neglectful, yang membentuk persepsi traumatis terhadap komitmen jangka panjang. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengekslporasi bagaimana Generasi Z dengan latar belakang pengasuhan tersebut mempersepsikan kecemasan mereka terhadap pernikahan…

Disruptive Harmony: Why Classical Music Impairs Attention In Smartphone-Addicted Students
type: item
description: Excessive smartphone use among university students has been linked to a decline in cognitive control, particularly in the aspect of attention. The use of classical music is often considered a strategy for enhancing attention, yet its effectiveness in individuals with digital addiction still requires empirical testing. This study aims to determine the effect of classical music (Mozart K. 448) on the attention of students experiencing smartphone addiction. This experiment employed a two-group posttest-only design involving 60 students selected through purposive sampling. Attention was measured using a time-based Stroop Test (ms). The Mann-Whitney U test results showed a significant difference between the two groups (Z = -3.713; p < .001). The experimental group had a higher mean rank for reaction time (38.87) compared to the control group (22.13). These findings indicate that classical music acts as a cognitive distraction that decreases attention in students with smartphone addiction; therefore, the use of background music should be considered selectively. Penggunaan Smartphone yang berlebih pada mahasiswa telah dikaitkan dengan penurunan kontrol kognitif, khususnya pada aspek atensi. Pengguna musik klasik sering kali dianggap sebagai strategi dalam meningkatkan atensi, namun efektivitasnya pada individu dengan adiksi digital masih memerlukan pengujian empiris. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh musik klasik (Mozart K. 448) terhadap atensi mahasiswa yang mengalami adiksi smartphone. Eksperimen ini menggunakan two-group posttest-only design terhadap 60 mahasiswa yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Atensi diukur menggunakan Stroop Test berbasis waktu (ms). Hasil uji Mann-Whitney U menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan antara kedua kelompok (Z = -3.713; p <.001). Kelompok eksperimen memiliki mean rank waktu reaksi lebih tinggi (38.87) dibandingkan kontrol (22.13). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa musik klasik merupakan distraksi kognitif yang menurunkan aten…

description: The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into daily life has expanded its role from technical assistance to emotional companionship among young adults. This study aims to explore subjective experiences of emotional intimacy with generative AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT. Employing an interpretive qualitative design and reflexive thematic analysis, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five participants, including university students and early-career professionals. Four primary themes emerged: AI as an emotionally safe space, the attainment of validation and psychological relief, AI’s role as a partner for cognitive reflection, and the critical awareness of its limitations and ethical risks. The findings indicate that while AI facilitates short-term emotion regulation through non-judgmental availability, users maintain a clear distinction between algorithmic empathy and authentic human connection. This research underscores the necessity of emotional digital literacy and suggests that AI should be integrated as a complementary scaffold, rather than a substitute, for professional mental health support and interpersonal relationships. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pergeseran fungsi kecerdasan buatan (AI) dari sekadar alat produktivitas menjadi mitra interaksi emosional di kalangan dewasa muda. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman subjektif individu dalam membangun keintiman emosional dengan chatbot AI generatif seperti ChatGPT. Dengan menggunakan desain kualitatif interpretatif dan analisis tematik refleksif, wawancara semi-terstruktur dilakukan terhadap lima partisipan yang terdiri atas mahasiswa dan profesional awal karier. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi empat tema utama: AI sebagai ruang aman emosional, pencapaian validasi dan kelegaan psikologis, fungsi AI sebagai mitra refleksi kognitif, serta kesadaran kritis terhadap batasan etika dan risiko ketergantungan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun AI efektif dala…

Construction and Negotiation of Power in Communicative Interaction: Systematic Literature Review in Communication Psychology
type: item
description: Communication is a fundamental mechanism through which identity, social relationships, and power are constructed and negotiated through dynamic psychological and interactional processes, particularly within increasingly complex digital and institutional environments. Although research on communication and power has expanded significantly, conceptual fragmentation remains, and the integration of communication psychology perspectives explaining how power, identity, legitimacy, and influence are negotiated through communicative interaction is still limited. This study aims to integrate existing research to identify conceptual patterns, thematic developments, and psychological mechanisms underlying power negotiation, identity construction, and legitimacy in communication processes. This study employed a systematic literature review of 37 Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 2013 and 2026, focusing on communication psychology, identity construction, symbolic communication, authenticity, visibility, and negotiation. The analysis followed structured stages of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and conceptual synthesis, supported by bibliometric analysis to examine publication trends, citation impact, and author contributions. The findings indicate a significant increase in scientific production, with an annual growth rate of 53.61% and an average of 131.27 citations per document, demonstrating strong academic relevance and impact. Communicative power is constructed through discursive strategies, conversational control, framing, and linguistic choices mediated by cognitive processes, perception, and psychological interpretation. Communication also plays a central role in negotiating identity, legitimacy, and social positioning across interpersonal, institutional, and digital contexts. This study contributes theoretically by integrating communication psychology perspectives and provides practical implications for improving communicative effective…

Islamic Personality in Contemporary Society: Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
type: item
description: Islamic personality can be understood as a psychological and spiritual construct that develops through value internalization, self-reflection, and lived experience; however, how individuals construct and interpret it in everyday life remains insufficiently explored from a subjective perspective. This study aims to examine the processes of construction, internalization, and meaning-making of Islamic personality and its role in shaping moral identity, self-regulation, and life orientation. A qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed to capture in-depth subjective experiences. A total of 10 participants were selected purposively based on their active engagement in religious practice and reflective awareness. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed systematically through coding, identification of emergent themes, and development of superordinate themes. The findings reveal that Islamic personality develops as a dynamic process involving the internalization of moral and spiritual values, integration of belief and behavior, strengthening of self-regulation, construction of existential meaning, and enhancement of psychological resilience and emotional stability. It also functions as an identity framework that provides direction, coherence, and consistency in navigating contemporary life challenges. These findings highlight its role in supporting identity development, psychological well-being, and moral integrity, while offering a conceptual basis for spiritually integrated interventions, character education, and value-based counseling approaches. Kepribadian Islam dapat dipahami sebagai suatu konstruksi psikologis dan spiritual yang berkembang melalui internalisasi nilai, refleksi diri, dan pengalaman hidup; namun, bagaimana individu membangun dan memaknainya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masih belum banyak dieksplorasi dari perspektif subjektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji proses k…

Understanding Psychosocial Factors Influencing Subjective Well-Being in Perinatal Mothers: A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: The perinatal period represents a complex and vulnerable developmental transition characterized by substantial biological, psychological, social, and environmental changes. Maternal subjective well-being during this phase extends beyond the absence of mental disorders and encompasses life satisfaction, positive affect, perceived competence, and meaningful engagement in the maternal role. This study aimed to systematically synthesize psychosocial determinants influencing subjective well-being among perinatal mothers through a systematic literature review approach. Inclusion criteria comprised peer-reviewed English-language journal articles published between 2010 and 2026 that examined intrapersonal, relational, socioeconomic, and environmental determinants among pregnant and postpartum women. Following the PRISMA framework, 17 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final analysis. The findings indicate that emotional regulation, maternal self-efficacy, risk perception, childbirth experience, sleep quality, social support, stigma, socioeconomic conditions, and environmental stressors are key interacting determinants shaping maternal subjective well-being. Furthermore, psychosocial interventions such as psychoeducation, cognitive-emotional regulation-based programs, and digital support platforms demonstrate promising potential in enhancing maternal resilience. The results underscore the importance of adopting an ecological framework integrating individual, relational, and structural dimensions to comprehensively understand maternal well-being. This review shifts the focus from a pathology-oriented perspective toward a strength-based and well-being-centered paradigm and provides important implications for maternal mental health policy development and preventive intervention strategies. Periode perinatal merupakan fase transisi perkembangan yang kompleks dan rentan, ditandai oleh perubahan biologis, psikologis, sosial, dan lingkungan yang signifika…

Psychometric Properties of the Indonesian Version of the Challenge-Hindrance Stressor Scale
type: item
description: Indonesian lecturers face significant workloads as universities seek world-class status. This study adapts and validates the challenge-hindrance stressor scale in Indonesia using quantitative cross-sectional data from 487 lecturers. Structural Equation Modeling via Confirmatory Factor Analysis tested validity, and reliability was assessed with Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability (CR). The first-order model fit was good (CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.935, SRMR = 0.04; factor loadings 0.59–0.87). Internal consistency reliability was also strong (coefficient above 0.70). Thus, the Indonesian CHS scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring lecturers’ work stress, supporting accurate assessment in this cultural context. Dosen di Indonesia menghadapi beban kerja yang signifikan seiring dengan upaya universitas untuk mencapai world-class university. Penelitian ini melakukan adaptasi dan validiasi skala stressor tantangan-hambatan di Indonesia menggunakan data kuantitatif cross-sectional sebanyak 487 dosen. Validitas diuji menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) melalui Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), sementara realibilitas dievaluasi dengan Cronbach’s alpha dan composite realibility (CR). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kesesuaian model first-order adalah model paling fit (CFI = 0.94; TLI = 0.935; SRMR = 0.04; factor loading 0.59–0.87). Realibilitas konsisten juga memiliki nilai yang kuat (koefisien di atas 0.70). Dengan demikian, skala CHS versi Indonesia merupakan instrumen yang valid dan reliabel untuk mengukur stres kerja dosen, serta mendukung penilana yang akurat dalam konteks budaya ini.

Development of a Multiple Intelligences-Based Interest and Aptitude Instrument for Elementary School Students
type: item
description: Interest and aptitude are essential aspects in developing students’ potential from an early age. Elementary school represents the initial phase for shaping children’s potential and character. However, the availability of valid and comprehensive instruments to identify students’ interests and aptitudes at an early stage remains limited. The development of students’ interests and aptitudes aligns with national education goals to optimize learners’ potential. Accurate identification enables educators and parents to direct students’ development in a more systematic manner as preparation for future education. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Interest Blank scale based on Multiple Intelligences theory in identifying elementary school students’ interests and aptitudes. A quantitative approach was employed through reliability analysis, item discrimination analysis, and construct validity using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), followed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The participants consisted of 367 elementary school students in grades 4–6. The study involved 367 elementary school students in Grades 4–6, recruited using a non-probability sampling technique with a convenience sampling approach, in which the entire target population at the research site was included (total sampling). The results indicated that three dimensions met the reliability criterion (α > 0.70), while the remaining five dimensions were below the recommended threshold. Most items demonstrated adequate discrimination (r ≥ 0.30), although several items still require evaluation. Factor analysis showed that the data were suitable for analysis; however, the empirical structure did not fully replicate the eight-factor Multiple Intelligences model. Furthermore, the CFA results indicated that the proposed model did not achieve a satisfactory fit. These findings suggest that the Interest Blank scale has potential for further development through refinement of items and constr…

Between Sharing and Loneliness: Self-Disclosure as a Key to Student Well-Being on social media
type: item
description: The rapid development of social media has transformed the patterns of social interaction among adolescents and students, particularly in self-disclosure behavior within increasingly open and intensive digital environments. This phenomenon creates a social paradox in which high levels of digital communication activity are not always accompanied by the fulfillment of individuals’ emotional needs, leading to psychological loneliness. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-disclosure and loneliness among adolescent social media users and to understand the psychological dynamics emerging from digital interactions. The research employed a quantitative correlational approach involving 193 respondents consisting of male and female students within the adolescent age range. Data were collected using psychological scales measuring self-disclosure and loneliness and were analyzed through normality, linearity, Pearson correlation, and partial correlation tests. The findings revealed no significant relationship between self-disclosure and loneliness overall, indicating that self-disclosure is not a single determining factor of adolescent loneliness. However, several social dimensions demonstrated significant partial correlations, particularly the social others dimension with aspects of valence, breadth, accuracy, and depth of self-disclosure. These findings suggest that digital interaction tends to emphasize social validation needs rather than the fulfillment of deeper emotional connections. This study provides important implications for the development of counseling services, digital literacy programs, and adolescent mental health support within educational settings. Perkembangan media sosial telah mengubah pola interaksi sosial remaja dan mahasiswa, terutama dalam perilaku keterbukaan diri di ruang digital yang semakin terbuka dan intensif. Fenomena ini memunculkan paradoks sosial, yaitu tingginya aktivitas komunikasi digital yang tidak selalu diikuti oleh te…
