Measuring Cyberbullying Levels among Adolescents in Integrated Islamic Junior High Schools in Jambi City: An Implementation of the Rasch Model
Get PDFThe incidence of cyberbullying in adolescents is increasing. This is, in part, attributed to the progress of Science and Technology (IPTEK), which is inseparable from the negative impact of cyberbullying. The latter has become central to adolescent communication. Consequently, cyberbullying, especially among adolescents, demands serious attention for early intervention. The purpose of this study was to measure the level of cyberbullying among students at SMP IT Jambi City by implementing the Rasch Model, a modern theoretical approach enhancing the accuracy of measuring latent variables. The research included 91 students from classes VII and VIII, selected through proportional random sampling. Data collection employed the Cyber Victim and Bullying Scale (CVBS) with 28 questions. The Rasch Model analysis revealed a high level of cyberbullying among adolescents at SMP IT Jambi City, with 52.2% categorized as high and 47.8% as low. The results demonstrated high accuracy, evident in validity and reliability coefficients of 0.87 and 0.71, respectively. This research provides valuable information for stakeholders aiming to maintain a cyberbullying-free climate
Forgiving Others towards Self-Happiness: A Meta-Analysis Review
Get PDFThis article presents a meta-analytic study examining the relationship between forgiving others and personal happiness. Data were collected from fifteen sources across thirteen articles, involving a total of 6,651 participants (57% female; 43% male). The results, using a random effects model, indicate a significant positive relationship between forgiveness and happiness (z = 5.793; p < 0.001; 95% CI (0.179; 0.360)). The correlation is moderate, with the confidence interval ranging from 0.179 to 0.361. This meta-analysis supports previous studies that suggest a positive correlation between forgiving others and increased happiness. Specifically, individuals who are willing to forgive tend to experience higher levels of happiness compared to those who do not forgive. Age and country of origin showed no significant differences. The implications of this study suggest that age and country of origin are not relevant factors for justifying a lack of forgivenes

When the Dark Lingers : The Role of Dark Triad Personality on Burnout Among Lecturers
Get PDFBurnout is commonly experienced by professionals in the "helping relationship" sector, including lecturers. One of the factors contributing to burnout is an individual's personality. This study aims to investigate how Dark Triad Personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) influence burnout among Indonesian lecturers. The methodology of this study was cross sectional. Dark triad personality was measured using 5 scales: NPI, CNI, LPSP-I, LPSP-II, and Mach-IV. The total number of participants in this study was 260 (Male=141, female=119). They were all lecturers in Indonesia with at least two years of work experience. This study shows that Machiavellianism is the most significant predictor of negative burnout. Narcissism, both agentic narcissism and communal narcissism, significantly predicted burnout negatively. Secondary psychopathy significantly predicts burnout negatively, whereas primary psychopathy does not predict burnout. Furthermore, demographic factors such as gender, age, length of service, and job position do not predict burnout among lecturers
Beyond the Classroom: Exploring Teacher Loyalty in Vocational Education
Get PDFWhile extensive research has examined the relationship between gaming and aggression, few studies have focused on the factors that mediate the connection between trash-talking behavior and aggressive outcomes in multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games. This study addresses this gap by investigating the role of screen time as a mediator between trash-talking and aggressive behaviors in young players of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). Unlike previous research that primarily explored direct links between gaming and aggression, this study introduces screen time as a novel variable that influences this relationship. The study sampled 390 gamers aged 10 to 24 years, all enrolled at Southern Luzon State University in Lucban, Quezon, Philippines. Key variables, including verbal aggression, hostility, and anger, were assessed using standardized questionnaires, along with measures of trash-talking attitudes and screen time. Using mediation analysis, the study identified screen time as a key factor that explains the relationship between trash-talking and aggression. The findings revealed that trash-talking indirectly contributes to aggressive behavior through prolonged gaming exposure. In other words, the negative effects of trash-talking on aggression are amplified by increased screen time. This discovery offers a fresh perspective by highlighting screen time as a critical channel through which trash-talking influences aggression. The results underscore the importance of addressing both toxic communication and excessive screen time to foster a healthier and more sustainable gaming environment. As mobile gaming continues to dominate youth leisure activities, these findings provide actionable insights for developing interventions that reduce aggression and encourage positive competition in esport

Career Wellbeing for Workers with Physical Disabilities: A Phenomenology Study
Get PDFCareer well-being is essential for activating adaptive readiness when facing challenges. It serves as a valuable tool in career development interventions, particularly in assisting workers in overcoming work-related difficulties, especially for those with disabilities. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the career well-being of disabled workers. This study employs a phenomenological qualitative approach. The sampling technique used was purposive, targeting workers with physical disabilities who have been employed by a company for at least 1 year and have completed at least junior high school education. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews conducted with 6 employees with physical disabilities. The findings reveal the following: (1) The career well-being of workers with physical disabilities can be categorized into three themes. Firstly, there's a positive emotional impact on their career situations, as they express gratitude and happiness for being accepted at work, fulfilling their aspirations. Secondly, these individuals find meaning in their career situations, deriving significance for themselves, their families, and their companies due to the trust and responsibility vested in them. Thirdly, the status of career networks and social support plays a pivotal role, as evident through their involvement with the FKDK community and within the company. (2) Additionally, the factors influencing the career well-being of workers with physical disabilities stem from both internal and external sources. Internally, self-motivation plays a vital role, whereas externally, support from parents, spouses, and the company contributes significantly. This study's findings provide a substantial contribution to the comprehension of career well-being among workers with physical disabilities.
Role of Self-Efficacy as a Mediator between Negative Emotionality and Resilience in Navy Wives
Get PDFMilitary spouses, particularly wives, require resilience given the various stressors they face, such as the absence of their husbands for support, the dual role of being both a mother and a father, and handling household tasks and childcare alone. Self-efficacy and negative emotionality or neuroticism are often associated with an individual's level of resilience, making them characteristics that can predict a person's resilience effectively. This study aims to test a model of the relationship between self-efficacy, negative emotionality, and resilience in Navy wives, utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional research design. Measurement tools include a modified Resilience Scale of Adult (RSA), the Indonesian version of the Self-Efficacy Scale, and a personality scale translated based on the BFI-2 Indonesian version. The data analysis method employed is Path Analysis using Amos-24. The research results indicate that there is an influence, both directly and indirectly, of the variable negative emotionality (p < 0.05) on resilience. There is a positive influence of self-efficacy (p < 0.05) on resilience, and self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative emotionality and resilience (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that the role of self-efficacy as a protective factor is highly dominant in determining an individual's resilience compared to the role of negative emotionality (a risk factor). Based on the research results, training for the development or enhancement of self-efficacy is recommended for Navy wives to improve their resilience and mental health. Future research is encouraged to explore other variables that enhance self-efficacy, as self-efficacy is a significant factor influencing resilience
