Made Diah Lestari, Ni Made Swasti Wulanyani — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Climate change is a global issue that affects human populations. This article discusses the psychological impacts of climate change and the role of scientist and practitioners in psychology in addressing this issue. Specifically, this article examines the specific effects of climate change on mental health, cognitive function, stress adaptation, psychiatric disorders, and increased suicidal tendencies. In terms of the role of psychology especially in Indonesia, this paper provides recommendations for initiating sustainable promotion, prevention, mitigation, and adaptation efforts within the scope of science and practice. This includes developing assessment tools for climate change risk and conducting basic research that informs evidence-based mitigation and adaptation strategies which accommodate local knowledge. A collaboration which accommodates multidisciplinary, multi stakeholder approach is imperative for implementing sustainable and evidence-based solutions.

A critical discourse analysis of fathers with children on the autism spectrum

Elvi Yunianti, Nanik Nanik, Teguh Wijaya Mulya — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Families raising children on the autism spectrum experience significant parenting challenges. To provide effective support, it is important to understand the distinct roles and experiences of fathers and mothers. Existing family research has predominantly focused on mothers as primary caregivers, leaving fathers' voices underrepresented. Consequently, support for fathers is often generalized from findings based primarily on mothers’ experiences. Using a critical discourse analysis approach, this study aims to construct a discourse that uncovers the hidden social power driving marginalization in the context of caregiving and disability, experienced by fathers. Findings from interviews with 14 fathers of children on the autism spectrum reveal three dominant discourses that shape their understanding of their roles, influenced by sociocultural dynamics. These discourses include: (1) discourse on the transformation of gender roles in the family; (2) the discourse of social power: norms, stigma, and hierarchy; and (3) cultural discourse: the construction of autism in society.

Instagram is one of the most widely used social media platforms, particularly among late adolescents, with 86.6% of global internet users actively engaging on the platform. Adolescents often hesitate to reveal their authentic selves online, instead curating idealized or false versions of themselves to seek acceptance, admiration, and positive impressions from their followers, which may carry adverse psychological consequences. This study investigates the influence of parental acceptance-rejection on adolescents’ online self-presentation on Instagram. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey, data were collected from 207 adolescents (84.06% were female) aged 18 to 21 years. Participants completed the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and a modified Self-Presentation on Facebook Questionnaire (SPFBQ). Multiple regression analysis revealed that parental acceptance-rejection does not significantly predict adolescents’ presentasi diri daring Although parental acceptance-rejection plays important roles in adolescents’ socioemotional development, these factors do not appear to directly influence how they portray themselves on social media. The implications and limitations of these findings are further discussed.

The role of father involvement in externalizing behavior in adolescents mediated by family functioning

Nurva Dillatul Vatin, Budi Andayani — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Externalizing behavior refers to problematic actions among adolescents, such as delinquency and aggression, which negatively affect both individuals and society. This study examined whether family functioning mediates the relationship between father involvement and adolescents’ externalizing behavior. Using a quantitative approach with convenience sampling, 198 adolescents aged 13–18 completed the offline survey. Regression-based mediation analysis showed that family functioning did not mediate the relationship, but father involvement significantly influenced adolescents’ externalizing behavior. The findings of this study highlight that father involvement plays a significant role in shaping adolescents’ externalising behaviour. These results can serve as a valuable reference for families to strengthen fathers’ engagement in parenting, particularly during their children’s transition into adolescence. Communities and government agencies may use these insights to design and implement parenting programs that promote active and sustained father participation in childrearing and education.

Mediation of job satisfaction on the role of person-job fit on organizational commitment of generation Z in startup companies

Cita Nadiana Shafira, Emi Zulaifah — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Startup companies in Indonesia attract generation Z employees due to their flexible work arrangements. However, these employees tend to switch jobs quickly if their expectations or personal values are not met, raising concerns about their organizational commitment. It is therefore important to examine Generation Z’s commitment through the lens of person-job fit, as it encompasses the values they uphold. This study aims to investigate the relationship between person-job fit and organizational commitment, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. A survey was administered to 236 Generation Z employees, and the data were analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between person-job fit and organizational commitment. Moreover, person-job fit has a direct effect on organizational commitment, both with and without the mediating role of job satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of aligning Generation Z employees’ values with organizational values.

Not merely enduring: Navigating the narratives of psychosocial-resilience of the Kajang amid hegemonic modernization

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the psychosocial resilience narratives of the indigenous Kajang community as a collective response to the hegemony of modernization. Using a multi-layered phenomenological approach, data were gathered through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that resilience is rooted in collective knowledge of the first Ammatoa, who foresaw modernization’s impact. Resilience manifests across three interwoven layers: personal (inner meaning-making and inner state), spiritual (belief in the sacredness of ancestral land), and communal (shared identity and values grounded in the Tallasa Kamase-Masea philosophy). The integration of these three layers serves as a reflective element that strengthens the Kajang community’s awareness and efforts to preserve their cultural heritage by decelerating value shifts amid the pressures of modernization. Globally, this research can open up opportunities or generate findings based on decolonizing psychology, allowing psychological concepts to genuinely emerge from the unique context of a given culture.

Loneliness and smartphone addiction: Testing a moderated mediation model

Waode Suarni — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Loneliness and smartphone addiction are relatively common phenomena in everyday life. A number of studies have shown the association between them, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying the relationship. This study aims to explore the possible mediating role of mobile attachment and the moderating role of self-control in the relationship between loneliness and smartphone addiction. A total of 163 university students (18 men, 145 women) aged between 18 and 20 years, participated in this study. The relationships among the research variables were tested using the PROCESS moderated-mediation model. The results show that: (1) loneliness positively predicts smartphone addiction, (2) mobile attachment partially mediates the relationship between loneliness and smartphone addiction, and (3) the loneliness effect on smartphone addiction is moderated by self-control. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self control skills and addressing emotional reliance on mobile phones in efforts to reduce smartphone addiction among young adults

Family influence and career decision-making self-efficacy: The mediation role of vocational identity

Putri Novie Dwiyanthi, Anisa Rostiana, Missiliana Riasnugrahani — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the influence of family on the career decision-making self-efficacy of final-year students, with a particular focus on the mediating role of vocational identity. The study involved 197 students from various public and private universities in Bandung, selected through a snowball sampling technique. Participants completed the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, Family Influence Scale, and the Vocational Identity Measure, which all demonstrated high validity and reliability. Using Hayes’ PROCESS model 4 analysis, the results showed that vocational identity serves as a significant partial mediator in the relationship between family influence and career decision-making self-efficacy, with the indirect effect exceeding the direct effect. These findings suggest that family influence enhances students’ career decision-making self-efficacy by fostering their vocational identity. When students develop a strong vocational identity, supported by their parents, they become more confident in making career-related decisions.

The effect of self-compassion on caregiver burden in schizophrenia caregivers

Nabila Aditya, Ellyana Dwi Farisandy — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Most people with schizophrenia is highly dependent on the involvement of those closest to them, especially their families. Providing care for a long period of time can affect the caregiver's condition and potentially experience caregiver burden and decreased physical and mental health. The purpose of this study is to determine the significant negative effect of self-compassion on caregiver burden in schizophrenia caregivers. This study involved 373 schizophrenia caregiver subjects. The Zarit Burden Interview and the Self-Compassion Scale were employed in this study. The simple linear regression analysis indicated that there is a significant effect of self-compassion in reducing caregiver burden in schizophrenia caregivers. The higher the self-compassion, the lower the caregiver burden perceived by schizophrenia caregivers. These results allow for alternative interventions that consider cultural contexts, such as self-compassion training, based on the development of collective-value strategies, acceptance, and spirituality.
