Hubungan antara Dukungan Sosial Teman Sebaya dengan Homesickness pada Santri

Hafiz Zurrahman — 2026-06-28

This study aims to examine the relationship between peer social support and homesickness among students at the Diniyyah Tanjung Barulak Islamic Boarding School. Homesickness is a common psychological challenge experienced by new students due to separation from their families and home environments. Students tend to seek peer support to cope with these feelings. This study employed a quantitative correlational method using total sampling, involving 92 students as respondents. The instruments used were the peer social support scale (reliability 0.919; 44 valid items) and the homesickness scale (reliability 0.942; 27 valid items). Data analysis was performed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation with SPSS version 20. The results indicate a significant negative relationship between peer social support and homesickness (r = -0.690; p = 0.000 < 0.01). Data categorization showed that peer social support fell into the moderate category (62.0%) and homesickness into the low category (46.7%). The relative contribution of peer social support to homesickness was 47.5% (R² = 0.475). These findings confirm that the higher the level of peer social support received by students, the lower their level of homesickness. The practical implication of this study is the importance of Islamic boarding schools developing buddy system programs, peer mentoring, and counseling services to help students cope with homesickness.

Mutia Aini Ahmad — 2026-07-16

Social media has become an integral part of Generation Z's daily life, yet its intensive use has raised concerns regarding mental health. This study aims to systematically examine the relationship between dopamine activity, social media usage, and psychological conditions of Generation Z from a biopsychological perspective. Using a meta-synthesis approach, 20 relevant scientific articles published between 2017 and 2024 were analyzed. The findings reveal five major themes that describe the connection between brain reward systems and digital behavioral patterns among adolescents, including tendencies of addiction, emotional dysregulation, and neurocognitive changes. These results provide a deeper understanding of neuropsychological dynamics in digital contexts and emphasize the need for biopsychological approaches in developing evidence-based mental health interventions. This study is expected to contribute to the advancement of digital psychology and strategies to mitigate the negative effects of social media on adolescents.

Efektivitas Intervensi Berbasis Sekolah dalam Meningkatkan Atensi Belajar Siswa

Muhammad Rasyid Ridho — 2026-06-28

This literature review aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of various school-based intervention programs designed to improve students’ academic attention. Attention is a limited cognitive resource that is vital for Executive Function (EF), which encompasses skills that regulate working memory and inhibitory control. An analysis of 16 research articles classified interventions into three main categories: Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs), Structured Cognitive Training, and Physical Activity Breaks. The review’s findings indicate that MBIs have the highest-quality evidence (Grade A) for improving attention and EF through Internal Attention training, which has been shown to produce Far Transfer improvements in untrained skills, such as social-emotional skills. In contrast, Structured Cognitive Training, which focuses on External Attention, often yields only Near Transfer (improvements on the trained task). Meanwhile, Physical Activity Breaks have proven effective as an attention restoration strategy, particularly when involving cognitive engagement, as supported by Attention Restoration Theory (ART). These findings emphasize that the success of interventions lies in the ability to restore fatigued attention capacity and achieve transfer effects to broader academic domains.

Hubungan antara Father Love Absence dengan Self-Control pada Siswa

Sarah Febrela Tobing — 2026-06-28

This study aimed to examine the relationship between father love absence and self-control among students of MTSN 3 Tanah Datar. The research was motivated by the phenomenon of low self-control in some adolescents, characterized by impulsive behavior, difficulty regulating emotions, and rule violations. The lack of paternal affection and involvement is presumed to be one of the factors influencing adolescents’ self-control development. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach with a sample of 80 students selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the father love absence and self-control scales and analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between father love absence and self-control (r = −0.348; p = 0.002; p < 0.01), with a weak correlation strength. Higher levels of father love absence were associated with lower levels of self-control. Overall, father love absence was categorized as high, while self-control was categorized as moderate.

Makna Kepercayaan pada Perempuan Lajang yang Pernah Mengalami Perselingkuhan

Nailatul Khairiyah A — 2026-06-28

Interpersonal trust in romantic relationships is an important issue to examine, particularly because experiences of betrayal such as infidelity can have a significant impact on how individuals form and maintain relationships in the future. For single women, such experiences not only affect their emotional readiness but also reshape their patterns of trust when entering new relationships. However, to date, our understanding of how individuals interpret trust after experiencing betrayal remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore the meaning of interpersonal trust among single women who have experienced infidelity in a romantic relationship. This study employs a phenomenological qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to explore the participants’ subjective experiences in greater depth. The participants consisted of three single women selected through purposive sampling, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. The research findings reveal three main themes: the dynamics of infidelity, readiness for a relationship, and efforts to build self-confidence. Experiences with infidelity have been found to influence interpersonal trust, particularly in terms of reliability, emotional support, and honesty. In response, participants developed self-protection mechanisms by increasing their vigilance and limiting their emotional involvement in relationships. Nevertheless, these experiences did not completely erode interpersonal trust. Through a process of self-reflection and acceptance of their experiences, participants were gradually able to restore and rebuild trust in their relationships.
