U DTF?: A Study on The Engagement and Affective Responses of College Students in Casual Sexual Relationships
Full text linkResearch shows that hooking up is now part of college life, as young adulthood is where individuals explore. However, most studies tackling hookup culture are Western-centered. This research aims to study hookup culture in Manila universities, describe their possible consequences, determine perceptions, motivations, and affective responses of students who engage in hookups, and provide measures for safe sexual practices. Through narrative research, three males and three females, who were at least 18 years old, Manila college students, and experienced the culture, were interviewed. Narratives’ analysis found that students share a common understanding of what a hookup is, factors why they engage in hookup culture were determined, and they experienced emotional ambivalence following a hookup. It is recommended to provide comprehensive sexuality education, safe spaces for students to have open discussions, and competent mental health providers. Future research is needed to address the impacts of technology in spreading hookup culture.
Pro-Environmental Behavior among Urban Millennial Workers: a Focus Group Discussions
Full text linkWaste management has been a critical issue in Indonesia, demanding urgent attention for sustainability and public health. The lack of public awareness underscored the need to understand pro-environmental behaviors, particularly waste sorting. Indonesia’s urban millennial workforce was expected to drive change in raising environmental awareness. This study explored the waste sorting behavior of urban millennial workers, influenced by work and family environments. Using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 18 participants (8 in Jakarta, 10 in Surabaya), data was analyzed using NVIVO 14. The qualitative approach was chosen for its ability to provide in-depth insights into participants’ behaviors and perspectives. Findings revealed that inadequate facilities, lack of social support, and weak regulation enforcement hindered waste sorting, despite positive attitudes toward sustainability. The study suggested improving infrastructure, enforcing regulations, and enhancing socialization to promote sustainable waste sorting among urban millennial workers. The findings emphasized the need for policy development and corporate responsibility and recommended further research on the long-term effects of education, socialization, and regulation enforcement
Correlation of Gender, Major, and Residence on Climate Change Anxiety of College Students
Full text linkThis study assessed the climate change anxiety of college students based on gender, college major, and residence, and examined its effects. Using the Climate Change Anxiety Scale, an online survey was conducted with 369 college students. Descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of variance, analysis of variance, and linear regression, were used to explore relationships between variables. Results revealed that females reported slightly higher climate change anxiety than males, non-science majors) reported higher levels than science majors, and students living in urban areas scored higher than students from rural areas. Among these variables, only college major showed a significant multivariate effect on climate change anxiety (p<0.05), particularly regarding functional impairment (p<0.05). This study highlights the predictive role of academic background in climate anxiety and underscores the need for educational and psychological strategies that promote climate science understanding and student mental health in the Philippines and Southeast Asia
The Influence of an Islamic Values-Base Father Training Program on the Social Skills of Preschool Children
Full text linkThe active involvement of fathers in child-rearing has a positive impact on a child’s developmental process, including their future mental health. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of a Father Training Program on the social skills of preschool children. The study was conducted in two preschools in Purwokerto using a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. Both the experimental and control groups consisted of 40 preschool children, with their fathers from different preschools. The Father Training Program was implemented over a period of twelve weeks solely for the fathers in the experimental group, while the control group did not receive any training. Data on children’s social skills were gathered by preschool teachers before and after the implementation of the Father Training Program using the Social Skills Assessment Scale (SSAS). The data were analyzed using one-factor covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and t-tests. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups in terms of the children’s social skills (p < 0.01); however, the difference between the post-test and retention test mean scores within the experimental group was not significant, suggesting that the effects of the Father Training Program were sustained over time. This finding confirms that training programs, including those focusing on fatherhood, exert a positive influence on children’s social competencie
Ethnic Prejudice in Adolescent: The Role of Cultural Intelligence, Intergroup Contact and Ethnocentrism as Mediator
Full text linkThis study aims to examine the effect of cultural intelligence and intergroup contact on ethnic prejudice in adolescents, with ethnocentrism as a mediating variable. The study was conducted on 308 adolescents using a quantitative approach and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) through the JASP program. The results showed that the resulting model had adequate fit (SRMR = 0.070; RMSEA = 0.092; CFI = 0.902; GFI = 0.983). Directly, cultural intelligence had a significant positive effect on ethnic prejudice, while intergroup contact had a significant negative effect on ethnic prejudice. Ethnocentrism also showed a strong positive effect on ethnic prejudice. The analysis of the mediation effect revealed that mediating ethnocentrism significantly affected cultural intelligence and intergroup contact on ethnic prejudice. These findings suggests that an increase in cultural intelligence or frequency of contact does not necessarily decrease ethnic prejudice without decrease in the level of ethnocentrism. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in the context of developing interventions to reduce ethnic prejudice among adolescents
Subjective Well-being in Long-Distance Marriage: The Role of Family Functioning, Financial Decision-Making, and Loneliness
Full text linkLong-distance marriage refers to a condition in which spouses live apart, potentially affecting their subjective well-being. This study aims to analyze the influence of family functioning, financial decision-making, and loneliness on subjective well-being in families experiencing long-distance marriage. A mixed-method approach was employed with 50 male and 55 female respondents. The findings indicate that family functioning scores were higher among female respondents compared to males, while no significant differences were found in other variables. The results of the SEM analysis show that family functioning on women had a significant positive effect, while loneliness on men had a significant negative effect on subjective well-being. Financial decision-making showed no significant impact. Families are encouraged to maintain shared spiritual routines and emotional connection, and engage in affective communication and social interaction to alleviate loneliness. Future research is expected to incorporate children‘s perspectives to better understand family functioning in long-distance marriage families
One Experience, Three Expressions: A Multidimensional Analysis of Employee Engagement
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze employee engagement from a multidimensional perspective by differentiating three forms of employee engagement expression: Convey (speaking positively about the organization), Commit (desire to stay), and Contribute (effort to provide maximum contribution). The data were collected from 1,235 employees across various sectors in Indonesia through the Employee Experience Survey (EES) developed by KTM Consulting, using a population study. The research population comes from various industry sectors and job backgrounds, ranging from staff to managerial levels, thus adequately reflecting the diversity of organizational contexts in Indonesia. This study employed independent sample t-tests to examine differences in engagement scores across demographic groups and multiple linear regression analysis to identify the contribution of each cluster to engagement expressions, using a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The results indicate that each form of engagement is influenced by different driving factors: Brand & Reputation has a significant impact on Convey (45.15%), Career Development & Growth Opportunities primarily influences Commit (21.58%), and Purpose & Meaning serves as the main driver for Contribute (30.84%). These findings underscore that a one-dimensional approach to measuring engagement risks overlooking the psychological dynamics underlying the employee-organization relationship. By understanding engagement expressions separately, organizations can design more precise, relevant, and long-term interventions to enhance work motivation, retention, and employee contribution
When Hope, Gratitude, and Mindfulness Meet: A Positive Psychology Approach to Job Performance
Full text linkJob performance is a highly relevant topic in industrial and organizational psychology; however, its association with internal psychological strengths such as hope, gratitude, and mindfulness has been relatively underexplored, particularly across different cultural contexts. Existing studies on job performance tend to emphasize negative factors, such as stress and workload, while the role of positive psychological factors remains comparatively neglected, especially in Indonesia. The present study examined the contribution of hope, gratitude, and mindfulness to job performance among 205 employees in Indonesia using a cross-sectional quantitative design. Data were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicated that the research model was significant, F (3, 201) = 61.00, p < .001, R² = .477, showing that the three variables jointly explained approximately 48% of the variance in job performance. Specifically, hope and mindfulness had positive and significant effects on job performance, whereas gratitude did not demonstrate a significant positive effect. These findings underscore the importance of considering individual strengths—namely hope, gratitude, and mindfulness—in recruitment processes as well as in the design of organizational training and intervention programs aimed at enhancing employee performance
The Role of Suicide Literacy and Suicide Stigma in Shaping Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help among Indonesian Emerging Adults
Full text linkSuicide is the fourth leading cause of premature death among emerging adults, with significant implications for public health. In Indonesia, the prevalence of suicide cases has reached 6,544, although this figure likely underrepresents the true extent of the issue. Alarmingly, only a small percentage of Indonesian adolescents, approximately 2.6%, seek psychological assistance despite the pressing need for mental health support. This study investigates the roles of suicide literacy and stigma in shaping attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Data were collected through an online survey involving 397 respondents. The analysis utilized multiple linear regression to assess the contributions of suicide literacy, stigma, and various demographic factors to attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help. Findings indicated that while suicide literacy, stigma, and demographic variables collectively contribute to attitudes toward seeking professional help, only suicide stigma and demographic factors (college major and family relation) significantly influenced these attitudes. This study underscores the critical need to address and reduce suicide stigma as a means of fostering positive attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among emerging adults in Indonesia
