Winda Maharani, Devie Yundianto — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Infidelity in relationships is increasingly common in marriage and dating relationships. Its strong effect on mental health makes this topic worthy of further research, especially in perceptions of dating infidelity relationships. Perceptions of dating infidelity have three dimensions: ambiguous, deceptive, and explicit infidelity. This study uses a quantitative design with a total of 77 women and using convenience sampling. We analyzed using simple regression analysis. Data collection used The Forgiveness Scale and Perception of Dating Infidelity Scale. The results of this study indicate a significant negative effect between the perception of dating infidelity and forgiveness behavior in the women population who are victims of infidelity value F(1,75) = 5,114, p= 0.027, adj. R²= 0.051, and regression coefficient (β=-0,091). Ambiguous behavior F(1,75) = 4,582, p= 0.036, adj. R²= 0.045, and regression coefficient (β=-0,077) and deceptive behavior F(1,75) = 4,035, p= 0.048, adj. R²= 0.038, and regression coefficient (β=-0,054) dimensions have a significant relationship with forgiveness. Whereas explicit behavior is not significant F(1,75) = 1,425, p= 0.236, adj. R²= 0.006, and regression coefficient (β=-0,028). This research is an initial study on the perception of dating infidelity in Indonesia. It can be expected to be helpful as a study material in designing educational activities such as preventing infidelity in marriage preparation.

Family communication patterns towards internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Adolescence is when individuals face various developmental tasks that require them to do extensive exploration. Drastic changes and exploration processes during this period can cause internalizing and externalizing problems commonly found in adolescents, particularly when they lack support from the surrounding environment, especially from their parents and family. Family communication patterns are one of the important factors that can help adolescents navigate various developmental tasks while exploring optimally. This study measures the effects of the differences in consensual, pluralistic, protective, and laissez-faire family communication patterns on adolescents' internalizing and externalizing problems. Using a simple random sampling method, this comparative quantitative study involved 408 Muhammadiyah Junior High School students in East Java. The instruments used are the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and The Revised Family Communication Pattern Instrument (FCP-R). The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed that family communication patterns have significant differences in internalizing problems, namely consensual laissez-faire (0.000) and pluralistic-laissez-faire (0.000). Likewise, in externalizing problems, family communication patterns revealed notable differences, namely in consensual-laissez-faire patterns (0.000). Of the various family communication patterns, only consensual laissez-faire and pluralistic laissez-faire can predict internalizing and externalizing problems. They must be tested further to ascertain the extent of their effects.

COVID-19 survivors need to maintain their mental health to return to their regular life after recovering from COVID-19. One of the psychological resources that promote mental health is resilience. Resilience has been studied, but it is still rarely studied in COVID-19 survivors. Resilience can be affected by gratitude and optimism. This study examines the role of gratitude and optimism in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. This study is a quantitative, correlational study. The population was students of COVID-19 survivors at the University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample included 114 students who survived COVID-19, consisting of 36 men and 78 women aged 18–23. Data were collected using a gratitude scale, an optimism scale, and a resilience scale. Data analysis was conducted by multiple regression. The results show that gratitude and optimism have a role in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. Gratitude has a positive effect on resilience, and optimism also positively affects resilience. Gratitude and optimism have a 35.9% role in the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. However, gratitude has a higher position than optimism in enhancing the resilience of COVID-19 survivors. The implication of this research is to increase resilience in COVID-19 survivors by increasing gratitude and optimism.

Muhammad Ridho Sukmo Wibowo, Fatin Rohmah Nur Wahidah, Hilda Meriyandah Agil — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Nowadays, students have become inseparable from smartphones. A smartphone’s purpose should primarily be to serve as an educational tool. However, it is discovered that its primary application is for social media, which can lead to addiction to smartphones. Effective self-regulation can serve as a firm foundation for individuals to utilize a smartphone in a disciplined and appropriate manner. This study aimed to empirically investigate the impact of self-regulation on the propensity of students to develop smartphone addiction. This study employed a quantitative methodology, namely simple linear regression analysis. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, with a total sample size of 155 students. The measurement method used a smartphone addiction tendency scale (α = 0.849) and a self-regulation scale (α = 0.861). The findings of this study indicate that self-regulation has a significant impact on the propensity to develop smartphone addiction (β = -0.263; p<0.05). As a result, self regulation has the potential to mitigate the inclination towards smartphone addiction. The provided funding can be utilized as empirical evidence for assessing the impact of self-regulation on the susceptibility to smartphone addiction.

A mother who decides to work often experiences role conflict because she cannot divide her time to carry out her roles, both as a mother and worker, which can cause stress and low life satisfaction. This has an impact on her subjective well-being. Subjective well-being is a person’s evaluation of their life, including life satisfaction, experienced emotions, and fulfillment. The social support of a spouse or husband is one of the variables that influence it. Therefore, this study aims to determine how much influence the husband’s support has on the subjective well-being of working mothers. This study uses a quantitative design with a simple regression analysis calculation method. The number of samples in this study was 140 participants who were actively involved, obtained through the purposive sampling technique. The scale used to measure the husband’s support was Receipt of Spousal Support Items, while the scale to measure subjective well-being used the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). This study shows that there is an influence of the husband’s support on the 3 aspects of subjective well-being in working mothers with the value of p < 0.01. p (1, 138) = 64.11, F = 0,317, 2R < 0.01 The husband’s support also explained a significant proportion of the variation in positive aspect scores, (138) = 0.027, t= 0.217 p < 0.01. p (1, 138) = 52.71, F = 0,276, R2 < 0.01 The husband’s also explained a significant proportion of the variation in positive affect scores, (138) = 0.038, t= .278. p < 0.01. p (1, 138) = 71.10, F = 3,40, R2 < .01. The husband’s also explained a significant proportion of the variation in negative affect scores, (138) = 0.042, t = 0.-353. The implication of the findings of this study is that the husband’s support is able to balance emotions in a working mother so as to create satisfaction in life, which is an aspect of forming subjective well-being.

Nurul Nabilah Abdul Razak, Asma Perveen — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This present study aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and its effect on self-esteem among youth. This study was conducted through the survey method, using an online survey via Google Form for the respondents. The total number of respondents received is 156 (n =156) participants from youth aged 18 to 30, with 74 (47.4%) male respondents and 82 (52.6%) female respondents who are willing to participate in the study. Instruments used in this study were the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). This research includes the use of descriptive analysis for the demographic information. Meanwhile, the research hypothesis was tested using Pearson’s correlation to obtain the results between the two variables. Results indicated that emotional neglect has the highest number of childhood maltreatment experiences by youth, but emotional abuse has the most severe case. Childhood maltreatment had a strong negative correlation with self-esteem (r(156) = 0.671, p <0.001). Among the respondents, the increase in the level of childhood maltreatment was correlated with a decrease in self-esteem. Through this study, screening children’s conditions and environment early with extensive intervention is essential to preventing such adverse complications.

The role of personality on resilience-moderated work stress in employees

Gerald Nicholas Hasudungan, Martina Dwi Mustika — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the entire business industry. Various companies are facing the post-pandemic situation and are trying to make adjustments to the current situation. The adjustments made by these companies create an impact on employees and lead to work stress for them. This study aims to examine the moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between personality and employee work stress. The results of previous research found inconsistencies in the results of the correlation between personality and employee work stress. Resilience, which can buffer the effects of work stress, is used as a moderating variable. The number of respondents who were actively involved was 499, who were employees aged 22–40 years and worked in various business sectors. All respondents have filled out three measurement scales: the personality scale, the work stress scale, and the resilience scale. Data collection was carried out using Google Forms. This study conducted a moderation analysis using the Hayes model 1 macro process to test the research model. Study findings show that the role of resilience moderates the relationship between personality and employee work stress (p = 0.003). The findings also show that resilience will be able to reduce work stress felt by individuals. Resilience is a component that can protect individuals from the impact of work stress. Companies need to provide assistance to improve their employees' resilience skills to reduce the daily effects of work stress.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the most significant health problem in the world for adolescents. The purpose of the study is to test the role of family harmony, emotion-focused coping, and stressful life events in non-suicidal behaviour in adolescents. This research uses a quantitatively correlational design. Sample study: 304 students at State Vocational High Schools in West Java, consisting of boys and girls aged 13–19 years. For the technique of taking samples, this study uses cluster random sampling. The family harmony scale, the emotion-focused coping scale, the stressful life events, and the non-suicidal self-injury scale are the measuring tools used in this study. The data analysis technique used was multiple regression analysis. There was a significant role among harmony family, emotion-focused coping, and stressful life events in influencing non-suicidal self-injury behavior in adolescents (r = .47, R2 = .22, p < .05.). The contribution of harmonious families was effective at 14.38%, followed by stressful life events at 5.45% and emotion-focused coping at 2.51%. This study proves that the most potent predictor of non-suicidal self-injury behavior in adolescents is family harmony. The study is expected to increase the outlook on the importance of guarding harmony, family, and stability through education or training facilitated by school.
