Achievement emotions for mathematics questionnaire in senior high school: Validity and reliability for Indonesian students
No full textAchievement emotions are recognized as key factors influencing students' success in mathematics. However, no Achievement Emotions Questionnaire for Mathematics (AEQ-M) specifically tailored for Indonesian senior high school students has been developed. This study aims to translate the 68-item AEQ-M into Indonesian and validate its use for senior high school students in Indonesia, termed AEQ-M-SHS-I. A purposive cluster sampling method was used to select 198 tenth and eleventh-grade students in West Java, Indonesia. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, item analysis, and reliability testing. Structural, convergent, and discriminant validity were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). All of data analyses were supported by SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. The Indonesian AEQ-M-SHS-I consists of ten factors and 68 items, all demonstrating good discriminant validity. CFA showed good structural model fit indices (e.g., X²/df = 2.245, CFI = 0.937, TLI = 0.950, SRMR = 0.059, RMSEA = 0.079). Moreover, all of ten emotions in the AEQ-M-SHS-I had ideal convergent validity. Additionally, the tool exhibited high internal consistency (? = 0.868). These results indicate that the AEQ-M-SHS-I is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing achievement emotions in mathematics among Indonesian senior high school students
A Systematic Review of the Mechanisms and Outcomes of Compassionate Mind Training
No full textMental health has become a growing global concern, reflected in the increasing prevalence of psychological disorders worldwide. Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) has gained recognition as an effective intervention to promote psychological well-being. This article investigates the efficacy of CMT, its underlying psychological paradigms, and the limitations of its implementation through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA flow diagram. A total of 96 documents were initially retrieved from the Scopus database, with 12 articles selected following rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria related to publication year, document type, language, access, population, and context. Findings indicate that CMT significantly enhances self-compassion, reduces stress, anxiety, and burnout, and improves emotional and social functioning. CMT is primarily grounded in a psychological within-paradigm, which emphasizes the integration of internal and external emotion regulation processes. However, several limitations persist, including the absence of a standardized curriculum and difficulties in implementation across diverse cultural and institutional settings. Challenges include fragmented program design and the lack of integration strategies within educational and professional frameworks. The study recommends further research to support cultural adaptation and the development of flexible, evidence-based training models to improve contextual applicability and long-term effectiveness

Examining the nomological validity of work engagement drivers: a study on the relevance of covid-19 key factors in the post-pandemic era
No full textWork engagement has become a critical factor in maintaining organizational performance, particularly in the context of unprecedented global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the key drivers of work engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic and their relevance in the post-pandemic era. Using a cross-sectional design, a structural model was developed based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, incorporating job satisfaction as a moderating variable between organizational-personal factors and work engagement. Data were collected from 1,484 public sector employees in Indonesia and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that organizational-personal factors significantly influence job satisfaction and work engagement. Job satisfaction also moderates the relationship between these factors and work engagement, enhancing its impact. The findings highlight the importance of prioritizing health support, skill development, and work-life balance to boost employee motivation and engagement. This research contributes to understanding the evolving dynamics of work engagement amidst global crises and provides actionable insights for human resource management practices. The study underscores the need for adaptive strategies to maintain employee well-being and productivity in changing work environments
Role of grit as mediator in the relationship of openness to experience and effectiveness of teachers during distance learning
No full textThe transition from offline to online learning is a challenge for teachers in effectively fulfilling their roles and necessitates openness and adaptability to change. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of grit as a mediator in the relationship between openness to experience and the effectiveness of teachers. This was carried out during distance learning among 211 vocational high school teachers in DKI Jakarta. The results showed significant indirect (ab = .321, p < .01, 95% CI [.177, .487]) and direct effects (c’ = 1.298, p < .01, 95% CI [.964, 1.633]). These results indicated that grit partially mediated the relationship between openness to experience and the effectiveness of teachers. Consequently, the study implied that fostering a high level of openness to experience enhanced grit and increased teachers' effectiveness
Bibliometric analysis of research trends in islamic family law and counseling: a global perspective (1988–2024)
No full textThis study aims to identify and analyze research trends in Islamic family law and counseling from 1988 to 2024 using a bibliometric approach. Islamic family law is an important branch of Islamic law that has a direct influence on the social, spiritual, and psychological life of Muslims. In the face of global social changes, such as secularization, family value shifts, and issues of gender justice and child protection, a more contextual understanding of the application of Islamic family law is needed. In this context, a counseling approach emerged as an important alternative to accommodating the emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of Muslim families. This study analyzed 229 documents taken from the Scopus database, then filtered them through a systematic approach until 17 relevant major publications were obtained. Analysis was conducted with the help of VOSviewer and RStudio software to map keywords, thematic relationships, and collaboration networks between authors and journals. Research results show that the dominant issues that arise include child marriage, polygamy, inheritance, women's rights, family mediation, and interfaith marriage. Thematic cluster visualization highlights five main focuses in the discussion of Islamic family law that are interconnected with contemporary social and cultural issues. This study asserts that the integration between Islamic legal norms and counseling approaches can strengthen the resilience of Muslim families, as well as provide solutions that are not only legal-formal, but also empathic, adaptive, and sustainable. This finding is expected to be the basis for the development of Islamic law that is more responsive to the dynamics of modern society
