Online-Based MBSR Group Intervention to Reduce Anxiety and Perceived Stress in Scholars Who Work on Undergraduate Thesis
Get PDFScholars who work on undergraduate thesis are prone to experience anxiety. In addition, the perceived stress of scholars to be able to complete the project is an influential factor in increasing anxiety symptoms in scholars who are working on their thesis. The present study aims to explore the effectiveness of a five-week online-based group intervention using Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in reducing anxiety and perceived stress of scholars who work on undergraduate thesis. The study was a pre- and post-test experimental design in which participants were tested for psychological parameters, both before and after the intervention. Participants were divided into 2 groups, treatment and control which consists of eight scholars (seven females and one male). Online intervention consisted of 5 sessions which lasted about 150-200 minutes on each session. Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD-7) and Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) was used to measure anxiety and perceived stress, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that online-based MBSR was not significantly effective in reducing anxiety and perceived stress. However, a trend of positive improvement was observed, indicating the potential benefits of MBSR for reducing anxiety symptoms in scholars who are working on their thesis. Limitations of this study are explained in the discussion section.Keywords: Anxiety, online interventions, mindfulness, perceived stres

Can Learning Agility Predict Students’ Academic Burnout During Distance Learning
Get PDFVarious new academic challenges faced by students during the distance learning period lead to vulnerability in academic burnout. This condition requires them to become agile learners to be able to face various challenges in new learning situations. This study aims to determine the role of learning agility on students’ academic burnout during distance learning. The online survey provided quantitative data from 210 students taking distance learning. The Learning Agility Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) were used to measure student learning agility and academic burnout, respectively. The results show that learning agility is a significant predictor of academic burnout, so the higher the learning agility, the lower the level of academic burnout. Furthermore, the difference in the length of study did not affect learning agility role on students’ academic burnout. The implication and limitation of this study are discussed in this article

Get PDFThe present study investigates whether parents' digital competence, parents' negative attitudes toward smartphones, and perceived parental efficacy of smartphones predict problematic smartphone use in adolescents. An online survey provided quantitative data from 102 participants. They were 63 mothers, and 39 fathers were involved in the study. Problematic smartphone use in adolescents was perceived by parents using the Problematic Media Use Measure. Parents’ digital competence was measured using Digital Competence Instrument. The Parental Perceptions of Technology Scale measured parents’ negative attitudes towards smartphones and perceived parental efficacy. All measurements were validated in the Indonesian version. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data.
Does Assertiveness Correlate with Second-Year Student Adjustment in the College?
Get PDFThis research aims to identify if there is a relationship between assertiveness and adjustment in second-year students at tertiary institutions. There are 264 SWCU Psychology Faculty second-year students as the research participants (average age = 19.23 years, SD = 0.85 years, 71.97% female). This research uses two measurement instruments, namely the Assertiveness Formative Questionnaire and the Students' Adjustment to College Questionnaire. The correlation test results show that there is a significant positive relationship between assertiveness and academic adjustment (r = 0.381, sig. = 0.000), social (rs = 0.438, sig. = 0.000), personal-emotional (r = 0.207, sig. = 0.001) and institutional attachment (rs = 0.249, sig. = 0.000). It means that a higher level of assertiveness possessed by the students reflects higher levels of academic, social, and personal-emotional adjustments, and institutional attachment. These findings can be a reference for other institutions to provide specific programs to increase the students’ assertiveness to assist them in the adjustment proces

Get PDFEffect of Team Development Intervention on Disaster Volunteer’s Problem-Solving Ability and Team Work Process
Get PDFThis study investigates the impact of team development training interventions on teamwork effectiveness, as manifested by the team's problem-solving ability and the quality of their collaborative efforts. The experimental research design employed in this study involved two independent groups (a between-group design) with a singular dependent variable. The experimental group comprised 10 participants who underwent team development training interventions, while the control group, also consisting of 10 participants, underwent a placebo treatment in the form of psychological first-aid training. The assessment methodology utilized a group problem-solving test, specifically employing simulation games involving scenarios such as traffic jam and bomb squad simulations. The measurement outcomes revealed a substantial difference (44%) in task completion duration between the control and experimental groups. During the task completion, the Mann-Whitney test yielded a Z-value of -2.612, with an Asymp. Sig. (two-tailed) value of 0.009 (<0.01), indicating a significant difference in the assessment scores for the task completion process between the control and experimental groups. The interventions provided are proven to improve team cognition and affect, stimulating constructive team behavior in completing the task the groups fac

“I Won't Shop Anywhere Else!”: Tokopedia Customer’s Love and Trust
Get PDFThe number of customers constantly changes for each marketplace in Indonesia, including Tokopedia. This is determined by customers’ loyalty toward each marketplace. This study is aimed at identifying the relationship between love and trust with customer loyalty towards Tokopedia. A purposive sampling technique was applied and samples of 274 participants were retrieved. The study’s data was analyzed using multiple linear regression, which showed that love (decision/commitment and intimacy) had a positive relationship with customer loyalty, whereas trust had no significant association with customer loyalty. This indicates that customer loyalty can be established through interpersonal relationships between sellers and buyers in a marketplace, and that trust may not necessarily have a direct role in shaping customer loyalty without social attachment and interactive communication between sellers and buyers.
