STRENGTH-BASED PARENTING AND SELF-EFFICACY PREDICTING ACADEMIC BUOYANCY AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Meilani Rohinsa — 2026-03-28

Everyday hassles are common experiences encountered by high school students and may influence their learning motivation and psychological well-being. Therefore, students require the ability to effectively cope with various everyday hassles, known as academic buoyancy. This study aims to examine the role of strength-based parenting and general self-efficacy in predicting academic buoyancy among high school students. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The participants consisted of 302 high school students selected using a quota sampling technique. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires consisting of the Academic Buoyancy Scale (ABS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and the Strength-Based Parenting Scale (SBPS). Data analysis was conducted using hierarchical regression to examine the contribution of each predictor variable to academic buoyancy. The results showed that strength-based parenting significantly predicted academic buoyancy. When general self-efficacy was included in the regression model, the explanatory power of the model in predicting academic buoyancy increased significantly. Both variables were found to have a positive and significant relationship with academic buoyancy. These findings indicate that parental support that focuses on children's strengths and students’ beliefs in their own abilities are important factors in helping students cope with everyday academic challenges.

ANALIZING ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES ON THE ROLE OF AIOT IN RESHAPING MEDICAL SERVICES

Suciana Wijirahayu — 2026-03-28

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (AIoT) is shifting global healthcare from reactive to proactive models. This transformation is vital for Indonesia, where non-communicable diseases cause 60% of national mortality. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach—including surveys of 134 digital-native scholars and Focus Group Discussions—this study evaluates AIoT’s efficacy, security, and socio-economic impact. Findings reveal high conceptual literacy (91.8%) and a strong mandate for national acceleration (96.3%). Key benefits identified include enhanced real-time monitoring (88.1%) and reduced human error (87.3%). Interestingly, AIoT could also lower hospital energy consumption by 20–30%. However, challenges persist, including a "trust gap" in data security and 75.4% anxiety regarding job displacement. Ultimately, successful implementation requires a "triad of readiness": robust cybersecurity, human-centric upskilling, and "Human-in-the-loop" regulation. This study concludes that AIoT’s benefits outweigh its risks if anchored in ethical, inclusive policies.

IMPLEMENTATION OF BHINEKA TUNGGAL IKA IN INCLUSIF EDUCATION THE CONCEPT OF CEATIVITY IN PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

Seriwati Ginting — 2026-03-28

High school students, as the nation’s future generation, require serious attention to reduce negative tendencies such as indifference to rules, hate speech, bullying, individualism, apathy, an instant-gratification culture, lack of perseverance, consumerism, and poor time management. If left unaddressed, these attitudes may negatively affect students’ futures and potentially become a source of conflict within Indonesia’s diverse society. This research aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to these negative attitudes. The purpose of this study is to develop solutions for promoting inclusive education by integrating the values of Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) into project-based learning in Pancasila and Civic Education, which serve as personal development subjects. Teachers play a crucial role in determining the success of project-based learning. This study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques to achieve comprehensive results. The theoretical foundation of this research is Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory. The qualitative data were collected through observation, participation, interviews, and focus group discussions, while the quantitative data were obtained through the distribution and analysis of questionnaires involving high school and university students. The findings reveal several key issues: (1) reluctance to accept differing attitudes or perspectives, (2) a discrepancy between teaching materials and real-life contexts, (3) boredom resulting from predominantly indoor learning activities, (4) the need for role models, (5) a desire for recognition and attention, (6) difficulty initiating social relationships, and (7) a lack of self-confidence.

The Role of Language in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy

Rosida Tiurma Manurung — 2026-03-28

Language plays a crucial role in psychotherapy, serving not only as a medium of communication between therapist and client but also as a transformative tool for introspection, reflection, and self-understanding. This paper explores the multifaceted roles of language within the framework of mindfulness-based psychotherapy, emphasizing how linguistic expression supports emotional articulation, cognitive restructuring, and identity development. Using a conceptual and descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes twelve core functions of language in therapy, including emotional expression, problem-solving, self-understanding, therapeutic alliance formation, meaning exploration, and the integration of mindfulness into daily life. The findings highlight that mindful language—non-judgmental, precise, and reflective—facilitates emotional regulation, awareness, and personal transformation. Therapists’ intentional use of language encourages clients to observe their inner experiences objectively, fostering insight and psychological balance. Ultimately, language functions as both a bridge of empathy and a catalyst for cognitive and emotional growth, underscoring its indispensable role in achieving therapeutic mindfulness and holistic well-being.

THE INFLUENCE OF SUBJECTIVE HAPPINESS AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING ON FLOURISHING AMONG EMERGING ADULTS

This study examines the influence of subjective happiness and emotional well-being on flourishing among emerging adults in Indonesia. Flourishing represents authentic and enduring well-being characterized by optimal psychological functioning, meaningful engagement, and positive relationships. Using a quantitative, non-experimental design, data were collected from 372 emerging adults residing in Bandung and Semarang through standardized self-report instruments: the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE), and the Flourishing Scale. Multiple regression analysis was employed to test the predictive contributions of subjective happiness and emotional well-being to flourishing. The findings indicate that subjective happiness and emotional well-being jointly predict flourishing significantly (R = .519, R² = .270, p < .001), explaining 27% of the variance. Emotional well-being shows a stronger predictive effect (β = .390) than subjective happiness (β = .207). Demographic variables, including age, education level, socioeconomic status, and marital status, are also significantly associated with flourishing. These results highlight the critical role of affective balance in fostering sustainable psychological well-being among emerging adults.
