Hear My Voice in Silence: Exploring Psychological Well-Being in the Sandwich Generation through Photovoice
Get PDFThis research contributes to understanding adolescents' awareness of psychological wellbeing within the sandwich generation. The unique challenges faced by sandwich generation teenagers, due to the demands of balancing multiple responsibilities, heighten their vulnerability to mental health issues and suicidal ideation. The study involved eight participants who met specific criteria: active college students in Yogyakarta, aged 18 to 22, residing in Yogyakarta, employed in part-time, full-time, or freelance work, who had experienced thoughts of self-harm, and who were willing to participate. A qualitative approach was employed using the photovoice method, guided by the SHOWED framework (focusing on what is Seen, what is Happening, how it relates to Our lives, why it Exists, and what can be Done about it). Data analysis was conducted through content and thematic analysis, using both photographs and narratives as primary data sources. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the psychological well-being of the sandwich generation, exploring dimensions such as perspective, environmental mastery, mood, life purpose, selfacceptance, autonomy, personal growth, and religiosity
The Role of Psychological Capital and Readiness for Change in Rural Tourism: A Phenomenological Study
Get PDFMany villages aspire to boost their tourism industry, but numerous ones face challenges due to limited ownership of three key elements: economic assets, intellectual capital, and social capital. However, a more critical factor contributing to the development of rural tourism is Psychological Capital (PsyCap). This research aims to assess the implementation of PsyCap and the readiness for change among small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) actors, serving as the primary driving force behind rural tourism. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as documentary studies, observation, focus group discussions (FGDs), and interviews. The participants include five MSME actors and three coordinators of the Tourism Awareness Association (Pokdarwis) in Durensari village, Trenggalek. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12. The findings reveal that human resources, including local tourism associations and a strong sense of community unity, demonstrate positive psychological capital, contributing to the outstanding success of their tourism village despite starting with very limited financial, intellectual, and social resources. The adaptive attitudes of these participants reflect their readiness for change. Further discussion is explained in the article
Entrepreneurial Intentions in Higher Education from the Analysis of Psychological, Human and Social Capitals: A Systematic Literature Review
Get PDFThis systematic literature review provides a comprehensive exploration of the role of psychological, human, and social capital in shaping entrepreneurial intentions within the context of higher education. The study synthesizes findings from a wide range of empirical studies to assess how these capitals influence students’ aspirations to engage in entrepreneurial activities. An online search was conducted on 125 reputable articles in the 2012-2021 period on entrepreneur intention and psychological, human, and social capital. Our review encompasses a detailed analysis of the psychological constructs that motivate entrepreneurial intentions, such as personal attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms. Furthermore, we examine human capital elements, including education, skills, and experience, alongside social capital aspects like social networks and family support systems. This review highlights the complex interplay between individual capabilities and contextual factors by integrating insights from multiple theoretical frameworks, including the Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Career Theory. The findings suggest that while psychological capital is crucial in forming entrepreneurial intentions, human and social capital are equally significant in providing the necessary resources and networks to act on these intentions. This review contributes to academic discourse by clarifying the roles and relationships of different types of capital in entrepreneurial intention formation among higher education students, offering implications for educators and policymakers in fostering a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Understanding Student Self-Confidence: Impacts of Body Shaming, Self-Compassion, and Gender in Higher Education
Get PDFLow self-confidence is a significant factor contributing to various academic and social difficulties among students, hindering their personal development. Previous research and observations at Padang State University indicate that many students continue to struggle with low self-confidence. This study aims to analyze the relationship between body shaming, self-compassion, and gender on student self-confidence, using a quantitative approach with a 2x2x2 factorial design. A sample of 362 students from the Faculty of Education, spread across six departments, was selected using cluster random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using three-way ANOVA. The results of the study revealed several key findings: (1) Overall, students at the Faculty of Education demonstrated high self-confidence, despite body shaming experiences; (2) In terms of self-compassion, students with higher levels of self-compassion exhibited greater self-confidence on average; (3) Gender did not significantly impact self-confidence, as there was little difference between male and female students; (4) Students who had not experienced body shaming had higher self-confidence than those who had been subjected to it; (5) There were significant differences in self-confidence based on self-compassion, with higher self-compassion correlating with higher self-confidence, while lower self-compassion was linked to lower self-confidence; and (6) There was no interaction effect between body shaming, self-compassion, and gender in explaining student self-confidence levels. This indicates that body shaming and self-compassion influence self-confidence similarly for both male and female students. These findings have implications for the development of counseling services in higher education, suggesting that targeted interventions can help improve student self-confidence, particularly by addressing body shaming and fostering self-compassion
