Self-Acceptance of Saye’s (Tajen Judge) Children in Bali
Full text linkSelf-acceptance plays a crucial role in mental health and emotional well-being. In Balinese society, children living with a parent who works as a saye and is involved in gambling struggle to accept themselves. Therefore, it is urgent to understand or study the experiences of saye’s children and their self-acceptance. This study used a phenomenological qualitative approach, and the data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The data were gathered through semi-structured and narrative interviews. There were three participants aged 18-25 years living with a parent who works as a saye (tajen judge). The results of this study showed that: 1) The children of the saye have unpleasant experiences related to stigma, stereotypes, verbal bullying, and their fathers’ anger when losing a gamble; 2) The children go through stages of self-acceptance, such as denial and rationalization, becoming involved in the gambling activity, finding meaning, and achieving self-acceptance; and 3) Factors that contribute to the children’s self-acceptance include the socio-cultural environment, positive support, and democratic parenting. To increase the self-acceptance of saye’s children, families should provide a safe environment for children, and society should not stigmatize saye’s families. The results of this research cannot simply be applied to other regions because Gianyar Regency carries out tajen activities more frequently compared to other locations. Future research needs to explore other areas in Bali
Social Media's Influence on Political Participation: Insights from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis in Indonesian Psychology
Full text linkThis systematic review and meta-analysis examine the impact of social media on political participation. It explores whether social media functions merely as an echo chamber for pre-existing beliefs or as a dynamic tool for political engagement. Sixteen studies, involving 33,257 participants, were selected and synthesized after applying inclusion criteria and conducting multiple filtering stages. The findings reveal that, while social media can enhance political participation, its effectiveness is highly context-dependent, and its overall impact is moderate. This suggests that social media is not transformative but rather supports existing political behaviors. For Indonesian psychological research, these insights highlight the importance of considering local socio-political contexts when analyzing social media's role. Future studies should investigate the socio-cultural moderators affecting this relationship in Indonesia to inform the development of more effective political communication strategies through social media. This study contributes to the discourse on digital platforms' role in political dynamics, particularly in diverse democratic settings like Indonesia
Beta Masih Takut: The Story of Forgiveness and Intergroup Anxiety from Post-Conflict Survivors
Full text linkThe prolonged conflict in the Moluccas from 1999 to 2003 continues to induce anxiety today, particularly among survivors. Fear is centered on affective aspects, such as the onset of anxiety and worry, leading to avoidance of other religious groups within their in-group. This is referred to as intergroup anxiety. Based on the results of a literature review, one of the factors that can influence the reduction of intergroup anxiety among post-conflict survivors is forgiveness. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of forgiveness on intergroup anxiety. This study is a quantitative research project. Participants in this study were survivors of the Moluccas conflict, totaling 165 respondents who were selected using snowball sampling techniques. The study utilized the TRIM (Transgression Related Interpersonal Motivation Inventory) instrument and the intergroup anxiety scale. The data were analyzed using a simple linear regression test, resulting in a p-value of 0.731 (p > 0.05). These results indicate that forgiveness does not necessarily alleviate intergroup anxiety. There was no observed effect of forgiveness on intergroup anxiety among post-conflict survivors of the Moluccas. Demographic variables, such as religion and the impacts of conflict, also did not influence or differentiate the emergence of anxiety between groups
Psychological Distress and Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help among Transwomen in Indonesia
Full text linkTranswomen are one of the minority groups in Indonesia vulnerable to a high level of psychological distress. The level of psychological distress can indicate the need to seek psychological help. The most basic component of seeking help is attitude. Without a positive attitude, individuals are less likely to have the intention of seeking help and do seeking help. This study aimed to investigate the level of psychological distress, attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, and the relationship between symptoms of psychological distress with attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help in 117 samples of transwomen in Indonesia. Results indicated that 72% of participants were classified as having a high level of psychological distress. A negative association between anxiety symptoms and psychological openness indicated that the more symptoms of anxiety that participants were experiencing, the less likely they were to open up about their psychological problems
Academic Dishonesty in Online Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Gender, Moral Self-Concept, and Academic Self-Efficacy
Full text linkThis study aimed to examine the role of gender, moral self-concept, and academic self-efficacy on academic dishonesty among students during periods of online learning. Participants were 305 students aged 18-24 (male = 65, female = 240) who underwent online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used a survey method conducted online. The measuring instruments used were the Academic Dishonesty Scale to measure academic dishonesty, the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale to measure academic self-efficacy, and the Moral Self-Concept Scale to measure moral self-concept. Males indicated a higher tendency to commit academic dishonesty than females. The initial results of regression analysis showed that moral self-concept predicted academic dishonesty in a negative direction, while academic self-efficacy did not show a significant contribution toward academic dishonesty. Follow-up regression analysis was conducted by entering the two aspects of academic self-efficacy separately into the model, and it was found that while course efficacy did not show a significant contribution toward academic dishonesty, social efficacy contributed significantly in a positive direction
The Indonesian Version of the Online Learning Motivated Attention and Regulatory Strategies (OL-MARS v.2) Scale
Full text linkThe increasing use of ICT and the tendency for media multitasking among students have raised concerns about their negative impact on attention and the challenges they pose to regulation strategies. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Indonesian version of the Online Learning Motivated Attention and Regulatory Strategies (OL-MARS v.2) scale among undergraduate university students. The OL-MARS v.2 is a 24-item scale measuring two main constructs: perceived attention problems (PAP) and self-regulatory strategies (SRS). PAP includes three subscales: perceived attention discontinuity (PAD), lingering thoughts (LT), and social media notifications (SMN), while SRS comprises behavioral strategies (BS) and outcome appraisal (OA). The scale was administered to 1,360 undergraduate students at a private university in Indonesia. Alpha coefficients for the total scores ranged from 0.463 to 0.800, indicating overall good to acceptable reliability, although the LT subscale showed the lowest alpha (0.463), which was acceptable but not ideal. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to evaluate the model fit. The OL-MARS v.2 shows potential as a valuable tool for assessing students' attention states and self-regulation strategies in online learning environments
The Role of Risk Perception and Big Five Personality Traits in COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Indonesia
Full text linkEven when the COVID-19 global health emergency is declared over, vaccine hesitancy is a relevant topic that needs to be studied to ensure effective intervention when such cases arise again in the future. Vaccine hesitancy is a phenomenon of public doubt about whether to accept or reject vaccination. This study aims to determine the characteristics of vaccine hesitancy in Indonesian society and its relationship with the risk perception of COVID-19 and the Big Five personality traits. We also discuss how the present findings can inform future decision making on pandemic interventions. This multimethod cross-sectional study incorporated both quantitative and qualitative analyses through self-report measures and an open question. We distributed the questionnaire online through convenience sampling technique and involved 390 Indonesian citizens aged 18-62 years (Mage = 30.68, SD = +13.17). Through regression analyses, we found that risk perception of COVID-19, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Intellect were significant predictors of vaccine hesitancy. Thematic analysis showed that themes of lack of confidence, convenience, and complacency were present in participants’ attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines. Demographic analysis also showed a correlation between vaccine hesitancy and economic status. Vaccination campaigns should focus on extensive education on vaccine safety that is backed by factual data, education on the risk of preventable diseases with vaccination, and increasing public confidence in government and health authorities
Traditional bullying, cyberbullying, and subjective well-being post-COVID-19 in Indonesia
Full text linkPrevious research has highlighted bullying as a significant issue in Indonesia, with a notable increase in cyberbullying among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, adversely affecting their psychological well-being. However, there has been limited discussion on bullying in the post-COVID-19 era. This study has three aims. The first is to examine the subjective well-being (SWB) of children who have either experienced bullying or have not been bullied after the pandemic. The second is to assess the occurrence of both traditional bullying (involving siblings and at school) and cyberbullying in Indonesia following COVID-19. The third aim is to investigate the factors linked to these forms of bullying post-pandemic. The participants were middle school students (N = 943; 57.2% girls, 45.0% in grade 7). The Children's Worlds Subjective Well-Being Scale with five items (CW-SWBS5) was employed to assess children's SWB. Separate measures were utilized for traditional and cyberbullying. Six factors—family, school climate, personal satisfaction, friendships, safety, and social media usage—were analyzed as independent variables using linear regression to determine their impact on bullying forms. The structural equation model (SEM) was applied to evaluate how these bullying types affect SWB. The findings revealed that sibling bullying and cyberbullying significantly influenced children’s SWB, with girls reporting lower SWB scores than boys. Cyberbullying emerged as the most prevalent form of bullying post-pandemic. A positive school climate was found to shield children from bullying. Cummins' theory of well-being homeostasis was employed to interpret the results. This study also discussed implications for educators and parents
Does Perceiving the Authentic Self Affect the Meaning of Life?
Full text linkSelf-authenticity and the meaning of life are important for an individual’s psychological well-being. However, studies on the relationship between authenticity and the meaning of life using a quantitative approach have been largely carried out in Western countries, with minimum research being conducted in the Indonesian context. However, several studies have found differences in self-authenticity among different social and cultural conditions. The purpose of this study was to unveil the influence of perceived authenticity on the meaning of life by controlling for self-esteem and positive affect in Indonesian adults. These control variables were added to see the influence of the two variables more precisely. This study involved 369 adult Indonesians (aged 18-64 years old, M=32.2 years). The instruments used were the Authenticity Scale, Multidimensional Existential Meaning Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Test. Data collection was carried out online, and multilevel regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The findings indicate that, by controlling for self-esteem and positive affect, feeling authentic influences the person’s meaning in life. Perceived authenticity in the 18-35 age group is lower than in the 36-45 and 46-55 age groups. The study also found that the married group perceives themselves as more authentic than the unmarried. The findings of this study can be a basis for future studies on authenticity in Indonesia and help build awareness about the importance of authenticity for Indonesian adults
Spirituality Beyond Religiosity: Understanding Perceptions of Academic Cheating in Indonesia and Malaysia
Full text linkCumulating evidence suggests that high levels of spirituality can foster integrity. However, integrity violations remain prevalent, even among populations with strong religious beliefs. This study collected data from 2,800 students across 17 academic institutions in Indonesia and Malaysia to examine the relationship between their levels of spirituality and their perceptions of academic cheating. Although both countries have predominantly Muslim populations, they differ in how religious practices are implemented. The results revealed a significant correlation between spirituality and perceptions of cheating in both countries. However, one aspect of spirituality in Indonesia diverged from the broader concept, underscoring the complex and nuanced relationship between spirituality and religion. While these concepts often overlap, they also exhibit distinct differences. Such differences in spirituality and religiosity may help explain the paradox of integrity issues, including the prevalence of cheating within religious communities
