Exploration of Altruistic Behavior in Early Adult Volunteers: A Phenomenological Study
Get PDFAltruistic behavior is a conduct that prioritizes the interests of others to alleviate their suffering and enhance well-being without expecting any reward for the actions taken. There are still unanswered questions from previous research regarding the motivations that underlie altruistic behavior in disaster relief volunteers.

The phenomenological approach is employed in this research, using semi-structured interviews to gather data. The study participants are individuals aged 18 to 25 who are actively involved as Indonesian Red Cross volunteers in the city of Surakarta. The results of the research indicate that the motivations driving altruistic behavior include the desire to help others, a calling for humanity service to God, enrichment of social interaction, and the influence of family or circumstances. Further discussion is elaborated in this manuscript

Internal Structure of the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale: Indonesian Version
Get PDFFamily functioning has a broad impact on the psychological condition of family members, making it a variable often examined in research. The instruments used to measure family functioning vary in the dimensions they assess due to different theoretical approaches. One such measurement tool that comprehensively assesses dimensions and aligns with Indonesian Government Regulations is the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale (BCFQLS). However, its utilization in research in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric quality of the BCFQLS using confirmatory factor analysis. The participants in this study were 331 married individuals who lived with their spouses and had at least one child. The results of the CFA indicate that the model fits the original structure of the BCFQLS, encompassing dimensions of family interaction, parenting, emotional well-being, and physical/material well-bei
Adolescents Cyberbullying: Examining The Role of Social Media Use Intensity and Dark Triad Personality
Get PDFCyberbullying is a form of harassment carried out through electronic devices, often involving social media platforms. This study aimed to determine the role of social media use and dark triad personality in predicting adolescents’ involvement in cyberbullying. The study involved 219 adolescents aged 12-21 who had engaged in cyberbullying within the past six months. Data were collected using three scales: the Social Media Use Integration Scale, Short Dark Triad, and Cyber-Aggression Scale. The results indicated that both intensity of social media use and dark triad personality traits simultaneously predicted cyberbullying behavior among adolescents, with psychopathy emerging as the most significant contributor to the observed behaviors. The study suggests that while social media use alone may not directly lead to cyberbullying, it serves as a facilitating platform for individuals with psychopathic tendencies. The study’s findings highlight the importance of parents, counselors, and the community working together to prevent cyberbullying behaviors among adolescents
Development of Information Service Modul to Enhance Meaning of Life: A Study on Minangkabau Adolescents
Get PDFThis study examined the development of informational service materials aimed at enhancing the meaning of life among Minangkabau ethnic students in secondary schools. "Meaning of life" is a psychological concept referring to an individual's sense of purpose, significance, and life satisfaction. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, and data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results indicate that the developed informational service materials are valid in terms of content and design, practical, and effective in improving the students' meaning of life. These materials were tested on a small group using a limited trial method, which demonstrated an increase in the meaning of life before and after the informational service was provided. The implications of this study suggest that the use of informational services to enhance the meaning of life can be effectively applied to students, as it has a positive psychological impact
The Role of Job Satisfaction on Turnover Intention with Employee Engagement as a Mediating Variable
Get PDFDissatisfaction often arises from factors related to workload, with heavy workloads driving employees to consider leaving for other companies. However, highly engaged employees are more likely to contribute positively through ideas and actions, and are more likely to stay with the organization longer. This study investigates the impact of job satisfaction on turnover intention, with employee engagement serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, surveying 315 employees at Company X in Tanjung Morawa, all with 2 to 5 years of service. The results of the mediation analysis using SEM-PLS reveal that employee engagement significantly mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. To reduce turnover intention, organizations should prioritize enhancing employee engagement by improving factors that contribute to job satisfaction
The Relationship between Knowledge and Attitudes with Stigma to People with Schizophrenia (PWS)
Get PDFStigma contributes to low treatment compliance in people with schizophrenia (PWS). Community surveys (N=180 PWS neighbors) of the Lentera Health Nusantara Foundation were used to analyze the relationship between knowledge of and attitudes toward the PWS stigma from March to December 2020 in the Sidoarjo and Ponorogo Regencies in East Java Indonesia. This cross-sectional study using questionnaires focused on knowledge related to symptoms, causes, and treatment as well as attitudes that describe the stigma toward PWS. The study revealed that only half of the respondents from Ponorogo (57.8% and 58.9%) and Sidoarjo (58.9% and 58.9%) had relatively good knowledge and attitudes, which shows that there is still a stigma toward PWS in the community. Furthermore, respondents in Sidoarjo were 0.019 times (98.1% lower) more likely to have a negative attitude (stigma) toward PWS than respondents in Ponorogo. There is a need for a sustainable and comprehensive strategy involving stakeholders, including health facilities, governments, and communities, especially those in rural areas, to overcome this problem of increasing compliance with PWS treatment and ensuring that the condition of the PWS is stable

The Mediating Role of Parenting: How parental well-being and distress influence child behaviors
No full textChildren’s problem behaviors should be managed properly while their prosocial behaviors should be nurtured. As parents play a significant role in children’s lives, their well-being and psychological distress could influence children’s behavior through different mechanisms. This study investigated the roles of effective parenting (positive encouragement and parent-child relationship) and ineffective parenting (parental inconsistency and coercive parenting) in mediating the relationships between parental well-being and psychological distress, and children’s problem and prosocial behavior as reported by parents. One-hundred and seventy-three parents of primary school children completed a paper and pencil survey consisting relevant measures. Mediation analyses using PROCESS macros showed that parental well-being and psychological distress significantly influenced children’s problem behavior through effective and ineffective parenting, respectively. However, only parental well-being significantly influenced children’s prosocial behavior through effective parenting. The results highlight the importance of parental well-being, as it fosters positive parenting practices and promotes prosocial behavior in children.
