Imelda Fransisca Sudirlan — 2025-12-30

The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly shaped adolescents’ lives, especially through social media use. While designed to facilitate communication and information sharing, excessive use can lead to addictive behaviors that harm mental health, academic achievement, and relationships. Young (1996) notes that internet and social media addiction are marked by a compulsive urge to continue using them, disrupting daily activities. This study aimed to develop and validate a psychological instrument to measure social media addiction among adolescents. A quantitative research design with an instrument development approach was applied, involving 41 randomly selected students from SMAN 1 Palimanan. The instrument was based on Griffiths’ (2005) Technology Addiction Theory, which includes salience, excessive use, neglect of duty, antisocial behavior, and lack of control. These dimensions produced 15 indicators and 50 items in both favorable and unfavorable forms. Development steps included readability testing, expert validation, field trials, and psychometric analysis using SPSS. Results showed 37 valid items with item-total correlations above the r-table (0.2542) and a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.920, indicating excellent reliability. This instrument can help researchers, practitioners, and educators in early detection, risk mapping, and intervention for reducing the negative effects of social media overuse.

Andri Setia Dharma — 2026-02-03

This study aims to examine the factor structure of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) in emerging adulthood in Indonesia, aged 18-29 years (N = 355 people). The Indonesian version of MLQ, which consists of two dimensions (namely Presence of Meaning and Searching for Meaning), was tested using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM). The CFA results showed a two-factor model that has a model fit that is in the acceptable category (CFI = 0.937; TLI = 0.916; RMSEA = 0.077; SRMR = 0.064) with factor loading > 0.50 on all items. The ESEM analysis provides better model fit results (CFI = 0.977; TLI = 0.960; RMSEA = 0.053; SRMR = 0.026). Both dimensions demonstrated high reliability (α > 0.80). These findings indicate that the factor structure of the Indonesian version of the MLQ is good, so it can be widely used in research related to the meaning of life in Indonesia.

The incidence of adolescent suicide and the divorce rate in Indonesia have shown an increasing trend. However, research that comprehensively and directly compares suicidal ideation between adolescents from intact families and those from divorced families, as well as the role of gender in the Indonesian context, remains limited. This study aims to examine family structure and gender as predictors of suicidal ideation among adolescents. The respondents consisted of 1,496 adolescents aged 12–19 years, including both males and females, from intact and divorced families. Suicidal ideation was measured using a suicide-related item from the Children’s Depression Inventory, family structure was assessed through demographic questions regarding parental marital status, and gender was determined using a demographic question on participants’ sex. Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that adolescents from divorced families exhibited higher levels of suicidal ideation compared to those from intact families. Female adolescents reported higher suicidal ideation than male adolescents. The model explained only 10.6% of the variance in suicidal ideation, indicating the need for further research to explore additional factors influencing suicidal ideation beyond family structure and gender.

This study aims to examine the role of social support in the quality of life among Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients, mediated by medication adherence. Quality of life refers to an individual’s perception of meaning in life, satisfaction, well-being, and happiness. It is considered a broad and complex concept, influenced by various factors such as psychological and physical conditions, independence, and social relationships. Achieving good quality of life is essential to increase remission and extend life expectancy. The participants were 83 SLE patients undergoing treatment at Ulin Regional General Hospital, Banjarmasin. Data were collected using the Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF, and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8. Data were analysed using Hayes’ PROCESS macro using a simple mediation model. The results showed that: (1) medication adherence did not mediate the role of social support in the quality of life among SLE patients; (2) social support had a direct role in the quality of life among SLE patients; (3) social support had no role in medication adherence among SLE patients; and (4) medication adherence had no role in the quality of life among SLE patients.

Peran Regulasi Emosi Sebagai Moderator Antara Impulsivitas dan Perilaku Mengemudi Berisiko

Natasha Metta Lawita — 2026-02-06

Male adolescents represent one of the groups with the highest traffic accident rates in Indonesia. One of the factors contributing to the high number of cases is risky driving behavior, which is influenced by the psychological conditions of adolescents. During adolescence, impulsivity tends to be high due to the incomplete development of self-control functions. On the other hand, emotion regulation can influence the relationship between impulsivity and risky driving behavior. This study aims to examine the role of emotion regulation as a moderator in the relationship between impulsivity and risky driving behavior among male adolescents in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). This quantitative research employed a combination of purposive and snowball sampling, involving 447 male adolescents aged 15–19 years as respondents. Data analysis was conducted using moderation analysis through PROCESS Macro Model 1. The results showed that emotion regulation significantly moderated the relationship between impulsivity and risky driving. This finding indicates that good emotion regulation skills can weaken the relationship between impulsivity and risky driving behavior.
