The role of self-compassion on distress disclosure among emerging adults from divorced families

Giftania Grace Nathalie — 2024-11-15

Emerging adults who experienced parental divorce may face interpersonal difficulties, which can manifest as reduced distress disclosure. This study examines the role of self-compassion in distress disclosure among emerging adults with a history of parental divorce. A simple linear regression analysis was conducted on data collected from a survey of 128 young adults who had experienced parental divorce prior to the age of 16. Results indicate that, at an overall level, self-compassion did not significantly predict distress disclosure among emerging adults who experienced parental divorce. However, additional analysis suggests that the overidentification component of self-compassion correlated positively with distress disclosure. The duration of parental divorce (the time that had passed since the divorce) was positively correlated with overall self-compassion and the mindfulness component of self compassion, while correlating negatively with the self-judgment component of self-compassion. Cultural differences may explain these findings, where individuals in individualistic cultures tends to disclose difficulties to others, while those in collectivits cultures may supress such experiences.

Ni'matuzahroh — 2024-11-16

Having a child with autism can significantly affect parents’ sense of self-compassion, which in turn impacts their psychological well-being. In Indonesia, there is a lack of consensus among scholars regarding a standardized tool to measure self-compassion among parents of autistic children. Hence, this study aimed to validate and establish the reliability of the Indonesian version of the Self-Compassion Scale tailored for parents of autistic children. Participants in this study were 455 parents of autistic children aged 2–18 years, selected via purposive sampling. Participants were asked to complete the scale through an online platform. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results indicated satisfactory validity (ranging from .47–.73) with 26 valid items. Moreover, the scale demonstrated adequate reliability, as indicated by Composite Reliability (CR) values ranging from .70–.80 and Variance Extracted (VE) values ranging from .32–.50. These findings confirm that the Indonesian version of the Self-Compassion Scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring self-compassion in parents of autistic children.

“She feels and thinks”: Mother's emotion and mental state talk on book reading activities

Tasya Nafasya Putri — 2024-11-11

Mother's emotion and mental state talk (EMST) in storybook reading context has been reported to be positively correlated with children's social understanding. Previous findings postulate that cultural context and book formats could affect the emergence of EMST. On the contrary, research about the EMST in the Indonesian cultural context and in various book formats is limited. Hence, further research needs to be conducted to explore the characteristics of EMST in Indonesian families. The current study aims to analyze which type of EMST is preferred by mothers in Indonesia, the frequency of EMST usage across various levels of reading difficulty, and the functions of EMST among Indonesian mothers. Secondary data were analyzed qualitatively from parents' video recordings of reading book activities. The main findings of this research suggest that, while most participants reported utilizing desire talk as a means of EMST, they were more likely to emphasize character descriptions, storylines, or general knowledge compared to EMST in shared book reading sessions. The lack of spontaneous EMST in Indonesian mothers may reflect the cultural influence on the expression of emotions and mental states in everyday life.

“Working is my me time”: Exploring the perception of me time among working mothers

Yohana Alverina — 2024-11-11

Me time holds significance for personal enjoyment and relaxation, yet its exploration, particularly among Indonesian mothers, is limited. This qualitative study interviewed three full-time working mothers (aged 28, 30 and 36) to understand their perceptions in me time allocation before marriage, after marriage, and after having children. Thematic analysis identified six major themes: a) the importance of me time, b) factors hindering it, c) diverse interpretations, d) activities pursued, e) repercussions of inadequate me time, and f) coping strategies employed. This study underscores the significance of dedicating me time as a means to alleviate the stress experienced in day-to-day life. Maternal individuals exhibit an adaptive inclination to tailor their approach to personal time management in light of the demands imposed by motherhood. This research effectively accentuates the necessity of prioritizing me time to enhance holistic well-being and fortitude when confronted with maternal responsibilities.

The influence of self-construal on social media social comparison among students in Indonesia

Detricia Tedjawidjaja — 2024-11-11

Self-comparison on social media tends to harm mental health. Students, as some of the most active social media users, are particularly susceptible to self-comparison on these platforms. Self-construal is a cultural factor that influences the level of social media self-comparison. This research examines whether independent and interdependent construal affects self-comparison in college students. Participants in this research were 485 students aged 18–25 years who used social media. The data obtained was analyzed using regression analysis. The results of this study showed that only interdependent construal significantly predicts social media self-comparison among students. At the same time, there is no correlation between independent construal and social media self-comparison. However, interdependent construal only contributes 2% to social media self-comparison. This research can provide an overview of how cultural factors, especially certain self-construal types, can lead to the emergence of social media self-comparison.

Shinta Siregar — 2024-11-16

Dating is a common experience among students entering young adulthood, a stage often marked by the challenge of forming intimate connections. Relationship quality plays a key role in determining dating’s impact on students. Therefore, it is essential for dating students to assess their relationship quality and understand the influencing factors. Relationship quality can be evaluated by measuring relationship satisfaction. This study investigated the contributions of differentiation of self and neuroticism toward relationship satisfaction of female students in Jabodetabek. The data was collected from 84 participants via electronic questionnaires distributed through social media and directly to universities in Jabodetabek. The findings indicated that both differentiation of self and neuroticism significantly contributed to relationship satisfaction. Differentiation of self not only enhances relationship satisfaction but can also mitigate the negative impact of neuroticism.

Beyond tradition: Text mining analysis for large-scale qualitative data

Omar K. Burhan — 2024-11-29

Recent advances in digital technology have made it possible to access and analyze large amounts of data, providing scholars in psychology with new ways to gain insights from qualitative sources such as social media, news articles, and interviews. Traditional methods, however, struggle to handle such large data volumes effectively. Text mining offers an efficient solution, using algorithms to find patterns and themes in large text datasets. This article introduces text mining techniques for analyzing large-scale qualitative data, using two issues of Jurnal Psikologi Ulayat (JPU) as a case study. Using techniques such as word frequency analysis, word clouds, bi-grams, and pairwise correlations, five main themes were identified: (1) Indonesian-based psychology, (2) mental health, (3) interpersonal and family relationships, (4) psychometric assessments, and (5) social phenomena related to fandom and pop culture. This study demonstrates the potential of text mining as an efficient approach to uncover patterns and themes in large qualitative datasets.
