Uncovering the Impact of Smartphone Addiction on Adolescent Emotion Regulation: A Systematic Literature Review for Intervention Strategies
Full text linkThis study aims to synthesize the impact of smartphone addiction on adolescent emotional regulation and identify effective intervention strategies. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines, with searches conducted in Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis for literature published between 2019 and 2024. After undergoing stages of identification, screening, feasibility, and inclusion, 11 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected through a rigorous selection process. The research findings indicate that smartphone addiction correlates with increased psychological symptoms that negatively affect emotional regulation and social interaction among adolescents. This study highlights the need for multidimensional interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychoeducation, and social support from parents and teachers. Although these approaches show promising results, evidence of long-term effectiveness remains limited, necessitating further research with a longitudinal design to assess sustainability. These findings also support the development of digital literacy interventions and school-based emotional regulation training to prevent smartphone addiction among adolescents, thereby supporting mental health and reducing the negative impacts of excessive technology use in the digital age.

Mapping Future Time Perspective Research among Indonesian Youth: A Scoping Review of Socio-Cultural Adaptation in the Age of Global Transformation
Full text linkIn the accelerating era of globalization and digital transformation, understanding how Indonesian youth perceive the future is crucial in psychology and education. Despite global advances in future time perspective (FTP) research, its socio-cultural dimensions in Indonesia remain underexplored. Using a scoping review guided by PRISMA criteria, this study systematically maps the scope, trends, and conceptual gaps in FTP research among Indonesian adolescents. Of the 178 identified studies, 17 met the inclusion criteria and were thematically synthesized into four themes: the evolution and contextual adaptation of FTP research in Indonesia, variables in FTP studies, conceptual and methodological contributions, and implications for youth counseling and development. The findings bridge Western and Indonesian FTP frameworks and emphasize the need for diverse qualitative, mixed, and longitudinal approaches. Future research should further explore socio-emotional and cultural dynamics while developing contextually grounded FTP-based interventions for Indonesian youth.

A Model of Academic Well-Being: An Integrative Review of Faculty and Staff Mental Health in Higher Education
Full text linkThe well-being of faculty and staff in higher education has increasingly become a global concern, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, existing research remains fragmented and lacks a unified theoretical framework. This study aimed to synthesize empirical evidence on faculty and staff mental health and to develop an integrative Academic Well-Being model for higher-education settings. A Systematic Integrative Review (SLR) was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020. Seventeen peer-reviewed international studies published between 2017 and 2025 were analyzed through thematic synthesis. The findings reveal that academic well-being is a multidimensional construct encompassing eight key dimensions: psychological, social, organizational, spiritual, physical, digital, financial, and cultural policy. Psychological well-being and empathetic leadership emerged as central determinants, while digital adaptation, spiritual meaning, and financial security are emerging factors in the post-pandemic period. The synthesis resulted in an Ecological Model of Academic Well-Being (EAWB) comprising four nested levels: individual, interpersonal, organizational, and cultural systemic that interact dynamically to shape mental health and professional flourishing in academia. The model highlights that sustainable well-being arises not from personal resilience but from compassionate leadership, organizational justice, and inclusive cultures. This review contributes a holistic framework for transforming universities into compassionate ecosystems.

Understanding College Intention in Rural Education Context
Full text linkPurpose: This study investigates the extent to which learning motivation and perceived parental financial support influence students’ intention to pursue higher education, focusing on 11th-grade students in a rural Indonesian high school. It addresses a research gap concerning educational aspirations among underserved youth in developing regions.
Methodology: A quantitative explanatory design was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. Data were collected from 127 purposively selected students at SMAN 1 X Koto Singkarak. Constructs for learning motivation, perceived parental financial support, and college intention were measured using validated items on a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis assessed the measurement model (validity and reliability) and structural model (path coefficients).
Findings: Both learning motivation (β = 0.344; p < 0.001) and perceived parental financial support (β = 0.219; p < 0.01) positively and significantly influence college intention. The model explains 20.2% of the variance in students’ educational aspiration (R² = 0.202). Learning motivation was the stronger predictor, highlighting the critical role of internal psychological drivers despite economic limitations.
Originality: This research offers new insights into how psychological and economic factors jointly shape college aspirations in rural settings. By integrating Self-Determination Theory within a socio-economic framework using PLS-SEM, the study contributes both theoretically and methodologically
Research limitations: Findings are limited to a single rural school, reducing generalizability. The cross-sectional design limits causal inference, and self-reported data may involve bias. Future studies should use broader samples, longitudinal designs, and explore mediating variables such as peer or institutional influence.
Practical implications: The results suggest schools and policymakers should foster student motivation through mentoring and goal-setting, while also enhancing financial access via scholarships and outreach to promote higher education participation in rural areas
Public policy and governance in Nigeria: The challenges of policy agenda setting
No full textPolicy agenda setting is a crucial component of the policy-making process, as it determines which public issues are brought to the forefront of government attention and how they are prioritised. In a nation as ethnically diverse and politically intricate as Nigeria, this stage is frequently influenced by competing regional interests, fragile institutional structures, and fluctuating political commitment. This study explores the relationship between public policy agenda setting and ethnoreligious consciousness in Nigeria. Using the Multiple Streams Framework as its analytical lens, the study demonstrates how political, social, and institutional forces obstruct the development of a unified national agenda, leading to disjointed policies and slow responses to societal challenges. Employing a qualitative research design, the study analysed collected data using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that the interplay of power, perception, influence, and proximity in political mobilisation and policy development significantly affects how ethnicity and religion intersect, frequently reducing broader historical and geopolitical issues to ethnic confrontation. The study concludes that the intentional use of ethnic consciousness by political actors, invoking shared group identities during national debates, lies at the core of many instances of ineffective policy-making in present-day Nigeria. It further underscores the need for stronger institutions, inclusive governance practices, and improved civic participation to ensure that policy agendas reflect the broader national interest
Developing an Interactive Audiovisual Media for Listening Assessment
Full text linkThis study aims to overcome the limitations of traditional listening tests by designing and developing an interactive audiovisual evaluation tool to enhance listening assessment in higher education. The tool integrates interactive features and varied audiovisual content to provide a more dynamic and engaging assessment experience. The research focused on second-semester students of the Listening and Speaking for Formal Communication course in the English Education Department at Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. The Research and Development (R&D) approach was implemented using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data were collected through lecturer interviews, student questionnaires, expert validations, classroom observations, and student feedback. The final product, developed using Microsoft PowerPoint, included a Home menu, Test Information, and three listening test sections tailored to students’ learning needs. The Results indicate that each ADDIE stage contributed to the successful development of the audiovisual-based assessment tool. The prototype addressed limitations of conventional listening tests and proved effective during implementation, as students performed better and responded positively. Expert and learner evaluations confirmed its feasibility and practical in use. The findings demonstrate that multimedia-integrated assessment enhances authenticity, motivation, and comprehension in listening learning, while offering opportunities for future expansion to web- or mobile-based platforms.

Effectiveness of Reality Group Counseling in Enhancing Ego Identity Among Indonesian High School Students: A Pretest-Posttest Experimental Study
Full text linkAn individual\u27s ego identity, a self-image that grows, develops, and internalizes through social interaction, is the culmination of the psychosocial phases they have experienced. This study examined the effectiveness of reality group counseling in enhancing the ego identity of high school students, using a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. Based on the ego identity inventory results, eight students were identified as having low ego identity. The study used two types of instruments: treatment and measurement. The treatment instrument was a reality group counseling implementation guide, and the measurement instrument was an ego identity inventory with a total item validity above the critical r value of 0.344 and a reliability coefficient of 0.957, indicating that the inventory is reliable and suitable for research purposes. Researchers analyzed the data using non-parametric statistical tests. The hypothesis testing yielded an N-Gain percentage of 109.18 > 76 and an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.012 < 0.05. Therefore, the study rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis, suggesting that reality group counseling effectively enhances the ego identity of high school students.

Developing Guidance and Counseling Administration Management Information System “Simas BK” to Increase the Accountability of Vocational Education School Counselors in Yogyakarta City
Full text linkThe success of guidance and counseling services in schools largely depends on School Counselors’ managerial abilities in planning, organizing, and evaluating services. However, many School Counselors are burdened with additional tasks beyond their main responsibilities, including administrative duties that are still handled manually, hindering optimal service delivery. Therefore, an information system is needed to simplify administrative tasks and reduce barriers to work. This study aims to examine: 1) the feasibility of an administrative information system in improving the accountability of School Counselors, 2) the practicality of an administrative information system in improving the accountability of School Counselors, and 3) the effectiveness of an administrative information system in improving the accountability of School Counselors. Using the Borg & Gall R&D model, the study involved vocational high school School Counselors and employed an administrative information system scale as the research instrument. The results showed that the system was deemed feasible by expert validation, practical by School Counselors, and effective in enhancing accountability. In the long term, SIMAS BK has the potential to be broadly implemented and integrated into national education systems to support data-driven counseling services.

Understanding Fathers’ Loneliness in Relation to Psychological and Social Factors
Full text linkLoneliness in fathers is a relevant psychological issue but remains understudied. Most research on loneliness focuses on the elderly, mothers, or adolescents, while fathers are often overlooked. However, changes in roles after becoming a father may also place men at risk of loneliness. This study examines paternal loneliness from the perspectives of parenting self-efficacy, job stress, marital satisfaction, and sense of community, with meaning in life as a moderator. A quantitative research design with a PLS-SEM approach was used. The participants were 256 married fathers who lived with their spouses and had children no older than 5 years. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires in a cross-sectional design. The results revealed that meaning in life moderated the effects of parenting self-efficacy and sense of community on loneliness, but not the effect of job stress. Job stress had a direct impact on loneliness, while marital satisfaction showed no significant relationship with either meaning in life or loneliness. These findings highlight meaning in life as a protective factor against loneliness in fathers.
