Generation Z Entrepreneurship in Tourism Opportunity: An Interpretative Phenomenological analysis
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the psychological experiences of Generation Z entrepreneurs in Jakarta who seize opportunities in tourism-related businesses such as open trips, beauty services, laundry, culinary ventures, and souvenir shops. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, this research adopts an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach to understand how young entrepreneurs interpret their entrepreneurial journeys in a rapidly changing digital era. Five Gen-Z entrepreneurs participated in semi-structured interviews, and the data were analyzed through a hermeneutic and idiographic process to capture the depth of lived experiences. The analysis revealed three superordinate themes: (1) self-confidence, characterized by technological mastery and optimism in facing business challenges; (2) independence, reflected in their preference for freedom of expression and anti-hierarchical work culture; and (3) pragmatism, denoting a lifestyle-oriented pursuit of financial freedom and comfort. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Gen-Z entrepreneurial identity and offer practical implications for developing entrepreneurship education and character-building programs in both formal and informal educational settings
Trapped by Fast Beauty Trapped by Fast Beauty: How Scarcity Promotion and Social Influence Drive Gen Z’s Impulse Buying
No full textThe growth of the cosmetics industry in Indonesia has led to the emergence of the fast beauty phenomenon, characterized by rapid production, low-cost ingredients, and aggressive promotion. This phenomenon has negative impacts, including the increasing tendency of online impulse buying, especially among Gen Z, the dominant users of e-commerce platforms. This study aimed to examine the influence of scarcity promotion and online social influence on online impulse buying of fast beauty products among Gen Z. A quantitative method was employed by distributing online questionnaires to 534 respondents, and the data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The results showed that scarcity promotion had a significant positive effect on online impulse buying (β = 0.190, p < 0.05), while online social influence had a significant negative effect (β = -0.201, p < 0.05). Furthermore, both variables simultaneously had a significant effect on online impulse buying behavior (F = 30.959, p < 0.05). Contrary to expectations, the negative effect of online social influence may be explained by Gen Z’s tendency to critically evaluate online information before making purchase decisions. This research contributed to consumer psychology literature and provided practical insights for marketers in developing effective digital marketing strategies
An Indonesian Perspective of Father’s Involvement in Children’s Education: The Role of Religiosity, Marital Satisfaction, and Father’s Self-Efficacy
Get PDFIn Indonesia, traditional social norms continue to emphasize the father as the dominant and authoritative figure in family life. However, research on fathers' involvement in children's education and the factors influencing it remains limited. This study investigates the alignment between a theoretical model of father involvement and empirical data, specifically examining the impact of religiosity, marital satisfaction, and fathers' self-efficacy on their participation in children's education. The study surveyed 393 fathers of state junior high school students in Malang, Indonesia, using four standardized instruments: the Father’s Involvement Scale, Religiosity Scale, Marital Satisfaction Scale, and Father’s Self-Efficacy Scale. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis confirmed a strong fit between the theoretical framework and empirical findings. Results indicate that religiosity has a direct influence on father involvement and marital satisfaction but does not significantly affect involvement indirectly through marital satisfaction. Marital satisfaction, in turn, has a significant impact on both father involvement and self-efficacy, while self-efficacy directly contributes to greater involvement in children's education. Based on these findings, schools are encouraged to actively engage fathers in educational activities to enhance their role in adolescent education. Given the study's quantitative approach, future research should consider a mixed-methods design to provide a more comprehensive understanding of father involvement in adolescent education
The Role of Academic Hope and Emotion Regulation on Psychological Well-being in Students
Get PDFAcademic pressure experienced by students can impact their psychological well-being. This study aims to examine the influence of academic hope and emotion regulation on psychological well-being in students. This research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 152 respondents selected through convenience sampling. All variables were measured using a Likert scale and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression with R (v4.4.2) and RStudio (v2024.12.0+467). The results indicate that academic hope significantly influences psychological well-being (B = 0.68, p < 0.001). Additionally, emotion regulation also contributes to enhancing students’ psychological well-being (B = 0.58, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the crucial role of academic hope and emotion regulation in supporting students' psychological well-being. The implications of this study emphasize the need to strengthen academic hope and emotion regulation within educational settings to optimize students' psychological well-being
The Impact of Family Socioeconomic Status on Parental Involvement in Children's Education: Differences between High- and Low-SES Families in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study explores how family socioeconomic status (SES) affects parental involvement in children's education in Indonesia, specifically within home and school environments. Although parental involvement is essential for academic success, differences across SES groups in Indonesia are not yet fully understood. Using data from 160 families representing diverse SES backgrounds, this research employed t-tests and correlational analyses to examine the influence of SES on parental involvement. Results show that families with higher SES exhibit greater involvement in home-based educational activities, while involvement at school remains consistent across different SES levels. Additionally, notable gender differences emerged: mothers from high-SES families were significantly more involved compared to mothers from low-SES families, whereas fathers' involvement did not significantly differ based on SES. Correlational analyses further demonstrated that SES indicators, particularly parental education levels, were strongly associated with home-based involvement but had little relation to school-based involvement. Regression analysis confirmed that SES significantly predicts home involvement but not involvement at school. These findings underscore the importance of providing targeted support to promote home-based parental involvement among low-SES families. Future research should investigate qualitative factors, such as school policies and cultural norms, to better understand their impact on parental involvement
Trapped in The Digital Wave: The Role of Emotional and Social Loneliness on FoMO in Adolescent TikTok Users in East Java
Get PDFThis study examined the role of emotional and social loneliness in the fear of missing out (FoMO) among adolescent TikTok users in East Java. With the increasing use of social media among teenagers, FoMO has become a common issue linked to anxiety and discomfort over missing online interactions. A total of 205 adolescents aged 13–18 participated through a survey, using the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) and the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS), analyzed with linear regression. The research findings revealed that emotional and social loneliness significantly predicted increased FoMO. The novelty of this study lies in exploring the role of two dimensions of loneliness on FoMO in Indonesian adolescents. These results highlight the importance of interventions to reduce loneliness, such as strengthening peer relationships and promoting healthier social media use. Practically, the findings suggest that schools or parents should foster supportive environments and encourage balanced online–offline interactions to help mitigate FoMO and protect adolescents’ mental well-being
Gender Differences and Self-Esteem as Predictors of Perceived Sexual Harassment among Undergraduates in Nigeria
Get PDFSexual harassment has become a pervasive problem in many tertiary institutions worldwide which affects psychological, physical and academic well-being among undergraduates. This study investigated gender differences and self-esteem as predictors of perceived sexual harassment among undergraduates in Rivers State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select three tertiary institutions in the State. Data were collected from 250 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regressions analysis and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result revealed that gender differences and self-esteem jointly predicted perceived sexual harassment among study participants R2 = .274, F(2,248) = 46.633, p <.05. In addition, gender differences (β = .349, p <.05) and self-esteem (β = -.348, p <.05) independently predicted perceived sexual harassment among study participants. Finally, the result confirmed gender differences and perceived sexual harassment [t(247) =17.981, p <.05] such that female undergraduates reported higher perceived sexual harassment (M =38.83, SD=1.29) than their male counterparts (M = 30.94, SD= 4.94). The novelty of this finding is that it is the first time sexual harassment is investigated among undergraduates in these three tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The study recommended that university authority should be proactive in designing and implementing policy that will reduce sexual harassment in their institutions.
The Role of Self-Acceptance and Self-Confidence in Quarter-Life Crisis Among Early Adulthood in Medan
Get PDFThe transition from adolescence to early adulthood involves various emotional and social challenges. This study examined the relationship between self-acceptance and self-confidence with quarter-life crisis among early adults in Medan. Using a quantitative design and purposive sampling, data were collected from 369 individuals aged 20–40 years through Likert-type psychological scales. Data analysis using multiple linear regression showed that both self-acceptance and self-confidence significantly correlated with quarter-life crisis (p < 0.05), with an R² value of 0.336. This indicates that the two variables explain 33.6% of the variance in quarter-life crisis. Higher self-acceptance and self-confidence were associated with lower levels of quarter-life crisis. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on internal psychological factors in an Indonesian urban context. These findings underscore the importance of psychological support programs in enhancing self-perception and resilience among young adults
From Home to Heart: Investigating the Mediating Role of Spirituality in the Relationship between Family Functioning and Character Strength
Get PDFPrevious studies have demonstrated that character strength significantly influences students’ future success, with the dimension of humanity being a central aspect of individual character. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family functioning and students’ character strengths, with spirituality serving as a mediating variable. Addressing a gap in existing literature, this research highlights the dual influence of environmental and internal factors in the development of character strength—whereas previous studies have predominantly focused on external determinants alone. A total of 317 junior high school students participated in the study by completing an online questionnaire. The instruments used included the Values in Action Inventory for Youth (VIA-Youth), the Aspects of Spirituality (ASP) Questionnaire, and the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Data were analyzed using JASP (Jeffrey’s Amazing Statistical Program). The findings revealed that spirituality significantly mediated the relationship between family functioning and character strength (β = 0.070, SE = 0.013, p < 0.001). Notably, the direct effect of family functioning on character strength (β = 0.158, SE = 0.023, p < 0.001) was lower than the total effect when the mediator was included (β = 0.228, SE = 0.024, p < 0.001). These findings underscore the importance of spirituality as an internal mechanism that promotes prosocial behavior and contributes to the development of students’ character strengths. Additionally, positive family functioning plays a foundational role in shaping students’ intrinsic values and moral dispositions. The implications of this study support efforts to strengthen human development policies and interventions aimed at fostering resilient and virtuous youth capable of adapting to future societal challenges
Academic Dishonesty Differences Evaluated by Academic Identity Status in Undergraduate Students
Get PDFAcademic dishonesty has become a pressing concern in higher education, as illustrated by 2024 data from the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, KPK) indicating that more than half of respondents admitted to engaging in cheating. Such behavior may be shaped by academic identity status, defined as an individual’s self-perception and commitment within the academic domain. However, empirical evidence on this association remains scarce, particularly among Indonesian undergraduate students. The present study examined differences in academic dishonesty across academic identity statuses in a sample of 216 Indonesian undergraduates aged 18–25 years. Using a quantitative design, participants completed the Academic Dishonesty Scale and the Academic Identity Measure (AIM). A one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in academic dishonesty scores across identity statuses, F(3, 212) = 5.239, p = .002, η² = .069. Post hoc comparisons indicated that students with a moratorium identity status reported higher levels of academic dishonesty than those with an achievement identity status, whereas no other pairwise differences reached statistical significance. These findings extend the literature on academic dishonesty by integrating identity status theory within the Indonesian higher education context and suggest that academic identity development should be considered when designing targeted preventive and remedial interventions in universities
