Sarni Destomawati Dano, Arthur Huwae — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 22:26:00 +0700

Socio-cultural changes experienced by students from out-of-town areas are a social phenomenon called culture shock. Culture shock causes individuals to experience anxiety and frustration about the events they experience, and one of the factors predicted to be related to increasing or decreasing culture shock is resilience. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between resilience and culture shock in out-of-town students from out-of-town areas in Salatiga. The method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional bivariate correlational design. The research participants were 60 students from out-of-town areas in Salatiga using the accidental sampling technique. The measurement used a resilience scale (? = 0.926) and a culture shock scale (? = 0.905). The results of the study proved that resilience was significantly negatively related to culture shock (r = -0.773 and sig. 0.000; p <0.01). This means that when there is an increase or decrease in resilience, it will be followed by a decrease or increase in culture shock in out-of-town students from out-of-town areas in Salatiga.

Bullying is an aggressive behavior repeatedly carried out by individuals or groups in physical, verbal, social, or psychological forms. This phenomenon has become a serious concern due to its negative impact on the mental and physical health of victims, particularly within the school environment, which is supposed to be a safe space. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling services using the Aggression Control Methods technique in reducing students' tendency toward bullying behavior. The research was conducted on 11th-grade students of SMP Swasta Syuhada Sukaraja in the 2024/2025 academic year. This study employed a pre-experimental research method with a one-group pretest-posttest design and a quantitative approach. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through a questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using non- parametric statistical techniques, specifically the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The test result showed a significance value of 0.012. Since the Asymp. Sig value of 0.012 < 0.05, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This indicates a significant difference in studentsâ€™ bullying behavior between the pretest (before the intervention) and the posttest (after the intervention). Therefore, it can be concluded that group counseling using Aggression Control Methods is effective in reducing the tendency of bullying behavior among 11th-grade students at SMP Swasta Syuhada Sukaraja.

Muhammad Sani Roehan, Rita Eka Izzaty, Herwin Herwin — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 09:05:53 +0700

The search for meaning in life among late adolescents is a crucial factor in their identity development, especially in the midst of social and emotional challenges. Although many studies have been conducted on the meaning of life, the limitations of existing instruments are unable to reflect the complexity of the meaning of life experience in late adolescents, so modifications are needed to address this need. This study aims to modify the meaning of life scale to better fit the context and experiences of adolescents. Using a quantitative approach, 116 active students aged 18-21 years from various universities in three provinces participated in this study. The instrument used was a modified meaning of life scale based on Michael F. Steger's theory, including two dimensions, namely the existence of meaning and the search for meaning. The results of the analysis showed that the modified scale not only had high validity and reliability, but also effectively captured the complexity of adolescents' life experiences. The findings provide important insights in understanding the dynamics of adolescents' meaning in life and open up opportunities for the development of intervention programs that are more relevant and based on their needs.

Nawang Purbo Aji, Sunawan Sunawan — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 09:16:22 +0700

Adolescents have a higher risk of experiencing depressive disorders due to fluctuating emotional changes in adolescence. Therefore, further studies exploring predictors that can help reduce symptoms of depressive disorders in adolescents are essential. This study examines the relationship between forgiveness and depression through the mediating role of adaptive emotion regulation strategies (mindfulness, reappraisal, and problem solving). This study used a correlational design involving 358 Senior High School adolescents from Boyolali Regency. Multiple mediation analysis was conducted using a bias-corrected (N=5000) bootstrapping technique [CI 95%] using PROCESS model 4 syntax to explain the role of adaptive emotion regulation strategies as mediators. Based on the results of the analysis, a significant negative relationship was found between forgiveness and depression, as well as between the three adaptive emotion regulation strategies and depression. However, forgiveness was positively correlated with all three adaptive emotion regulation strategies. The mediation analysis showed that the three adaptive emotion regulation strategies negatively affected the relationship between forgiveness and depression (? =-0.68, p<0.01). The results of this study confirmed the mediating role of adaptive emotion regulation strategies in the relationship between forgiveness and depression. Thus, to help adolescents reduce depression levels, counselors are recommended to strengthen adaptive emotion regulation strategies as a complement to forgiveness skills.
