Loneliness, Loss, and the Search for Belonging: An Interpretive Qualitative Study of Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness
No full textHomelessness among older adults is a complex relational phenomenon shaped by social disconnection and weakened family ties, which can intensify loneliness, experiences of loss, and a diminished sense of belonging. This study examined how older adults experiencing homelessness interpret and cope with loneliness in everyday life, and how they (re)construct a sense of “home” despite profound material and social constraints. Using an interpretive qualitative design, we conducted observations, semi-structured interviews, and photovoice with three older adults experiencing homelessness in Semarang. Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis to foreground participants’ meaning-making processes. Four themes were generated: (1) loss of family intimacy, (2) disappointment and acceptance as emotional negotiation, (3) animals and personal objects as substitute attachment figures providing comfort and emotional security, and (4) home-making as an active process of creating familiarity and comfort through resting spaces, family photographs, personal belongings, and other symbolic connections. Overall, participants demonstrated adaptive emotional coping and constructed meaningful, albeit precarious, spaces of belonging. These findings indicate that services should address emotional and relational needs alongside material support. Community-based responses could facilitate social reconnection, grief-informed support, and opportunities for symbolic home-making that affirm identity and attachment. Policies should recognize the psychological value of personal belongings and companion animals as resources for stability. Future research should involve larger, more diverse samples and participatory methods to strengthen the transferability and practical relevance of interventions for older adults experiencing homelessness

Hasilnya adalah ada perbedaan political trust yang signifikan pada kelompok subjek yang merupakan mahasiswa ilmu politik dan kelompok mahasiswa non ilmu politik, dengan skor t = 5,609 (t hitung > t tabel yaitu 1,972) dengan p = 0,000 (p < 0,05)
PENGATASAN KELELAHAN EGO (EGO DEPLETION) PADA INDIVIDU DALAM KONTEKS BUDAYA JAWA
No full textPsychological-energy is needed to help in controlling the mind, affection, and
behavior. The weakened state of the psychological-energy, which affects the
intention and inability to practice self-control and self-regulation is called ego
depletion condition and people needs to overcome this condition to return their
productive state (Baumeister, Vohs, & Tice, 2007). This research investigates how to
overcome ego depletion amongst Javanese people. The in-depth interview of six
informants who experienced ego depletion and lived in Java were held.
Phenomenological methods were applied. This research showed that internalized
external problems for longer period absorbed significant amount energy, but none of
the informants expressed their disappointment with explicit anger, like beating or
frontal verbal (anger out). It is differ from the previous research that causes of ego
depletion are dominated by internal factors. The informants tend to choose to
lowering the urges and rely themselves in God�s will during the moments of
disappointment and increased sadness. They express that the faith to God gives
way to being narimo (to accept) and it provides them the sufficient and effective
source of energy. Furthermore, they recharge their energy through �keep walking�
even though they feel powerless. The informants try to keep on their awareness to
stay optimistic by decreasing a bit of their desires
Behind The Screen: How Virtual Peer Conformity Affects Cyberbullying Behavior on Indonesian Youth
No full textThe increasing cases of cyberbullying among adolescents have become a serious issue in various countries, including Indonesia. One of the factors that influences cyberbullying behavior, both perpetrator and victimization, among adolescents is online peer conformity. With the advancement of technology, interactions within online groups enable peer conformity to occur in a virtual context. However, studies examining cyberbullying and peer conformity in the online context are still limited, most of studies focused on non-online conformity, and cyberbullying victimization. This study examined of how peer conformity in virtual groups influences cyberbullying behavior. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 404 Indonesian adolescents who actively participated in online community or group. The findings revealed a significant positive influence of virtual peer conformity on both cyberbullying perpetration (R² = 0.016, p = 0.011 < 0.05) and victimization (R² = 0.187, p = 0.000 < 0.05). The results can provide empirical grounding for preventive interventions aimed at enhancing adolescents' ability to manage their virtual peer interactions effectively
Indonesian’s Risk Perception Level of COVID-19 Based Media Type and Media Exposure Delivering COVID-19 News in The Early Stage of the COVID-19 Outbreak
No full textThe risk perception data of the Indonesian people at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak remains undiscovered. In fact, during that period, regardless of the COVID-19 news appearing all the time in all media, Indonesian behaviour did not show any concern about that highly infectious virus. They continued to express normal activities despite the news being everywhere. It seemed the news exposure was meaningless for them. Therefore, this research aims to determine whether exposure to the media about COVID-19 also defines people's risk perception toward the COVID-19 virus during the early stage of the pandemic. This study involved three variables: the type of media used to update COVID-19 news (X1), the frequency of exposure to COVID-19 news (X2) and the public's risk perception of the COVID-19 virus (Y). The 1468 research subjects were Indonesian people who used the media to look out for the development of the pandemic. The data collection tool is the risk perception scale developed by Ropeik (2002). Data was collected online using the Googleform application, which spread to 23 provinces. The study's results were, first, descriptively, during the early days of the pandemic, the Indonesian people's risk perception of COVID-19 was already high and evenly distributed in all 23 provinces despite their behaviour. Second, social media is the most widely accessed type of media. However, the types of media used to update COVID-19 news significantly correlate with risk perception. Third, the frequency of exposure to COVID-19 news in the media and the public's risk perception of the COVID-19 virus are significantly correlated. Meaning that the higher the media exposure, the higher the risk perception of COVID-19 would be - and vice versa. The results will be discussed further
The Integration of National and Religious Identity: an Overview of Identity Development in Elementary Schools
No full textConflicts between groups in Indonesia continue to occur, and diverse studies have attempted to find solutions. As one of the efforts to find these solutions, this research focuses on national identity development as a long-term effort to establish an inclusive national identity to reduce conflict between groups. This study aimed to provide an overview of the national identity development process implemented in public and private elementary schools. The data collection methods employed were observation, interviews, and document analysis. Coding analysis is applied to sort the data and generate themes for the findings. The empirical findings and discussion generate the following conclusions: First, efforts to develop a national identity in public and private elementary schools run comprehensively through cognitive aspects (thoughts, understanding, and principles), affective aspects (attitudes and appreciation), and behavioral aspects (actions and habits). These three aspects are well implemented in the school’s vision, curriculum, subject matter, learning process, non-academic activities, and social life. Second, there are kinds of national identities such as national symbols, religious identity, ethnic identity, and environmental identity. However, national identity and religious identity are boldly emphasized. This is to anticipate the tension between national identity and religious identity, which might stimulate conflict between identities. Therefore, national and religious identities are socialized as two unified identities. Finally, the success rate of the development of national identity in schools varies due to various factors. However, this is a prospect for further research, especially in schools, families, and society
