Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Modification Group Counseling with Cognitive Restructuring Techniques to Prevent Exposure to Pornography
The exposure of pornography among adolescents is increasingly worrying because it has a negative impact on psychological, social, academic, and moral aspects. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Modification (CBM)-based group counseling services using cognitive restructuring techniques in preventing exposure to pornography among students. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control group design. The research subjects were 17 students from Senior High Schools in Sarolangun , selected via cluster random sampling: 9 in the experimental group and 8 in the control group. The research instrument contained 34 valid and reliable items that measured sound, reading, images, and actions. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U Test. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant decrease in pornography exposure scores from high to low, with an N-Gain of 34.8. In contrast, the control group only had an N-Gain of 15.5. The Mann-Whitney U test resulted in p = 0.048 (< 0.05). These findings confirm that CBM is effective as a preventive strategy and can be implemented by guidance and counseling teachers to help students deal with the challenges of pornography exposure. Keywords: group counseling, cognitive behavior modification, cognitive restructuring, pornography exposure

Future Orientation Training to Enhance Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy in Vocational High School X Yogyakarta Students: An Experimental Study
The high unemployment rate among vocational school graduates in Indonesia is partly due to their low confidence in making career-related decisions, as measured by Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy (CDMSE). This lack of confidence may hinder students’ work readiness, particularly as they prepare for industrial work practice. This study examined the effectiveness of Future Orientation training in improving CDMSE among vocational students. A quasi-experimental design with an untreated control group and pretest-posttest measures was used. The participants were 28 grade 11 students from a Vocational High School in Yogyakarta, selected through purposive sampling, all with low CDMSE scores. The training aimed to strengthen students’ motivational, affective, and cognitive capacities related to exploring career options, future planning, and goal setting. CDMSE was measured using a scale adapted from Betz and Luzzo, validated by Purnama and Ernawati, with acceptable fit indices (Chi-Square p > .05, RMSEA ≤ .08, CFI ≥ .95, SRMR ≤ 0.08). The Wilcoxon Rank Test showed a significant improvement in CDMSE after the training (p < .01), and the Mann-Whitney Test revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < .01). These findings support the effectiveness of Future Orientation training in enhancing CDMSE. Similar programs could be integrated into vocational education to improve career readiness and reduce the risk of unemployment. Keywords: future orientation, career decision-making self-efficacy, vocational high school student

Reasons, Commitments, and Meanings: A Phenomenological Exploration of Grandparents’ Parenting of a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study aimed to explore the reasons, commitment and meaning of grandparenting in families caring for grandchildren with ASD aged 2-6 years. This study used a qualitative, phenomenological approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven primary caregivers of children with ASD. They were analysed using content analysis and therapeutic and occupational science frameworks to reveal patterns of caregiving, adaptation, and subjective meaning. This study resulted in three main themes being identified: 1) motivational reasons for becoming the primary caregiver, which included a sense of responsibility to the family and concern for the child’s safety and well-being; 2) the forms of caregiving work commitments undertaken by grandparents, including time management, adjustments to parenting strategies, and handling behaviours typical of ASD; and 3) the meaning of the emotional dimension of this role, which was characterised by long-term commitment, a sense of moral responsibility, and a deep bond of affection. Keywords: grandparenting, autism spectrum disorder, parenting, phenomenology

Trend Trends and Gaps in Marital Satisfaction Research in Indonesian Psychology: A Systematic Review (2019-2024)
Marital instability often leads to dissatisfaction and may result in divorce. In Indonesia, around 400,000 divorces occur annually, reflecting persistent marital dissatisfaction. This study aims to identify research gaps in the study of marital satisfaction within Indonesian psychology literature from 2019 to 2024. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study conducted a systematic content analysis of 101 journal articles retrieved via Google Scholar using Publish or Perish 8. Results show a generally increasing trend in research despite a temporary decline in publication numbers. Most studies employed quantitative methods (76.53%), correlational designs (72.37%), and focused on variables such as religiosity (12.36%). The most frequently used instrument was the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction scale (32.61%), with correlation analysis as the dominant statistical method (31.07%). The results of this study highlight prevailing trends in existing research and identify several areas requiring further investigation to enhance understanding of marital satisfaction in Indonesia. Keywords: marital satisfaction, religiosity, ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale, research trends, Indonesia

Drive Distraction and Risky Driving Behavior: A Meta-analysis Study
This study fills a research gap by extending previous studies on driver distraction and risky driving behavior beyond specific contexts or distraction types. This meta-analysis assesses the strength of the relationship, heterogeneity, publication bias, and moderators. The literature was searched through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Elsevier (2015-2025). Of 128 articles, 10 cross-country studies with samples of 165-21,000 respondents passed PRISMA selection. Random-effects analysis with Fisher’s z transformation showed a heterogeneity (I² = 99.63%; Q = 2394.305; p < .001). Publication bias tests (Fail-safe N = 12,234; Egger p = 0.861; Begg p = 0.381; trim-and-fill = 0) showed no bias, and the association between variables remained consistent. Visual, manual, and cognitive distractions increase risky driving behavior. Findings support educational policies, stricter regulations, and distraction-mitigation technologies, and offer novelty in synthesizing the latest cross-national evidence. Keywords: drive distraction, risky driving behavior, meta-analysis, traffic safety, driver attention

Building Mathematical Identity Through Gamified Learning: A Development Study Using Wordwall Platform in Junior High School
This research aims to build students’ mathematical identity by developing gamification-based learning media on the Wordwall platform. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the study involved 30 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Pare, Kediri Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and pre–post mathematical identity tests. Expert validation results showed the media was highly valid (average score = 4.36). At the same time, the N-Gain value of 0.57 (moderate) indicated a significant improvement in students’ mathematical identity, particularly in engagement (0.66), value and meaning (0.54), and self-confidence (0.52). These findings demonstrate that gamification does not merely enhance cognitive learning outcomes but also constructs mathematical identity through positive social–emotional experiences, such as collaboration, reflection, and recognition. Theoretically, this research supports Boaler’s (2021) concept of mathematical freedom and Martin’s (2019) theory of social positioning, and, practically, offers an inclusive digital learning model that encourages confidence, engagement, and meaningful participation in mathematics. Keywords: identity mathematical, gamification, wordwall, media learning digital, ADDIE

Adaptation and Validation of Mental Toughness-8 Measurement Tool in Indonesian Language: Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) Study on College Students
At present, the mental toughness construct is attracting increasing attention as a measure of a person's resilience in facing pressure. One of the initiators of the mental toughness construct was Gucciardi and his team in 2015, who based it on existing mental toughness theories. This study was conducted to develop the mental toughness construct developed by Gucciardi and his team in the Indonesian context. This study was conducted using a quantitative method, with data collected via a questionnaire. A total of 114 people (87.7% women), with an average age of 22 years, who are currently studying at college, participated in this study. The collected data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Based on the CFA analysis, CFI = 0.956 and RMSEA = 0.071, indicating a mental toughness construct with a total of 8 good- and fit items in Indonesian. In addition, all the construct items are reliable, as the Cronbach’s alpha is 0.786 (≥ 0.70). It can be concluded that the Indonesian adaptation of the one-factor MT-8 model is a psychometrically sound and suitable instrument for evaluating mental toughness. Keywords: adaptation, CFA, mental toughness, reliability, validation

Emotional Dynamics: Grieving Experiences of Women After Abortion
This study explores the complex emotional dynamics and grieving process experienced by a woman following an induced abortion, utilizing Kübler-Ross’s five-stage grief model (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) as a theoretical framework. A qualitative narrative approach was employed, with data collected through an in-depth, semi-structured online interview with a 20-year-old participant who underwent an abortion at age 18. Non-participant observation of non-verbal cues supplemented the interview data. Thematic analysis was conducted to map the subject’s experiences onto the stages of grief. Findings confirm that the participant navigated all five stages of grief, though in a non-linear and highly individual sequence. The depression stage was notably prolonged, while the eventual movement toward acceptance was significantly facilitated by entering a new, supportive romantic relationship, which provided a crucial "safe space." The experience was compounded by feelings of isolation, stigmatization, and a lack of adequate social support from her partner at the time of the procedure. The study underscores that abortion, particularly under stressful conditions, constitutes a significant psychological loss that can trigger a profound grieving process. Recommendations include integrating psychosocial education into reproductive health programs and conducting further comparative research on the experiences following legal versus illegal procedures. Keywords: abortion, grief, Kübler-Ross, qualitative research, psychological impact

Self-Efficacy as a Dominant Predictor of Learning Motivation: An Analysis of the Role of Assertiveness and Social Support in Madrasah Aliyah Students
Learning motivation is a key psychological factor influencing students’ academic persistence and achievement, particularly within faith-based educational settings such as Madrasah Aliyah. This study examines the influence of assertiveness and self-efficacy on students’ learning motivation, with social support as a mediating variable. A quantitative path analysis was conducted using a sample of 275 students selected via proportional random sampling from three madrasahs in Dairi Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling using Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 4.1). The results show that assertiveness and self-efficacy significantly affect social support (β = 0.228; β = 0.260) and learning motivation (β = 0.180; β = 0.293). Social support also positively affects learning motivation (β = 0.259). Mediation analysis reveals that social support weakly mediates the effect of assertiveness on learning motivation yet significantly mediates the effect of self-efficacy on learning motivation. These findings highlight the importance of psychological empowerment in fostering student motivation. Keywords: learning motivation, self-efficacy, assertiveness, social support, academic resilience, quality education, student well-being

The Influence of Religiosity and Honesty on Students’ Ghosob Behavior at Bina Umat Islamic Boarding School Yogyakarta
This study examines the influence of religiosity and honesty on ghosob behavior in students at the Bina Umat Islamic Boarding School in Yogyakarta. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire from 100 male students aged 15–18 years. Religiosity is measured using Glock & Stark's five dimensions (ideological, ritualistic, experiential, intellectual, and consequential), while honesty is assessed across three domains (toward oneself, others, and God). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that both religiosity (β = 0.239, p < 0.001) and honesty (β = 0.699, p < 0.001) significantly influenced ghosob behavior, with a combined contribution of 76.5% (Adj. R² = 0.765). Honesty was the dominant predictor, accounting for 73.6% of the variance, compared with religiosity (49.8%). The findings show that despite high religiosity, ghosob behavior still occurs because it is normalized in the pesantren culture. The results of the study support Glock & Stark's theory of religiosity, Kohlberg's theory of moral development, and Bandura's theory of social learning, while emphasizing the importance of internalizing the value of honesty as a practical expression of religiosity in character education in the pesantren environment. Keywords: religiosity, honesty, ghosob behavior, pesantren, character education, psychology of Islamic education

Contradictions of Freedom in Student Cheating Behaviour (A Reflection on Eric Fromm's Theory): Qualitative-Descriptive Study
This study analyzes student cheating from the perspective of Eric Fromm’s theory of freedom, focusing on the contradictions inherent in such behavior. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data were collected from 13 university students via purposive sampling, semi-structured questionnaires, interviews, and exam observations. Analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that cheating arises from Fromm’s “contradiction of freedom,” in which the need for social attachment and the fear of alienation conflict with internal moral values such as honesty. Students choose cheating as an authoritarian escape mechanism, sacrificing autonomy to meet external expectations, which in turn triggers inner turmoil, including guilt and anxiety. The study recommends that universities establish counseling services to help students navigate these conflicts and develop a more authentic, responsible form of freedom. Keywords: contradiction of freedom, cheating, freedom according to eric fromm, attachment and isolation

Comparison of Verbal and Physical Bullying Incidence among Elementary Students in Jayapura
Bullying has increasingly affected elementary school students, with prevalence estimated at 25%. However, there is a lack of definitive data comparing bullying incidents between public and private elementary schools. This study aimed to compare the incidence of verbal and physical bullying among students at two elementary schools in Jayapura. A cross-sectional design was used, conducted in July 2024. The study involved a total population of 987 students, with a purposive sample of 102 students each from Inpres II Waena State Elementary School (public) and Muhammadiyah Elementary School (private). Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using Stata 14, applying bivariate analyses with chi-square tests. Findings revealed that verbal bullying was more prevalent at Inpres II Waena State Elementary School (66.7%) compared to Muhammadiyah Elementary School. Key factors associated with bullying included gender, age at first experience of bullying, and the availability of complaint channels. Verbal bullying often manifests as teasing or jokes, which are normalized due to the absence of firm sanctions for perpetrators. These results highlight the need for stronger school policies and structured reporting systems to address verbal bullying in both public and private school settings.

Career Search Efficacy and Student Life Satisfaction among Vocational School Students: The Mediating Role of Career Decision Self-Efficacy
This study investigates the relationship between career search self-efficacy and student life satisfaction among vocational high school students, with career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) as a mediator. Using a quantitative correlational design, 729 students from six vocational schools in Banda Aceh were selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Career Search Self-Efficacy Scale (CSSES), the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form, and the Student Life Satisfaction Scale, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Sobel tests. The results are that career exploration efficacy, personal efficacy, and parental support positively influence CDSE and life satisfaction, whereas interview efficacy shows a negative effect due to anxiety. Mediation analysis confirms that CDSE significantly mediates the link between career search self-efficacy and life satisfaction, especially through self-appraisal and planning. The study extends Social Cognitive Career Theory by integrating cultural factors and highlighting the importance of school-based guidance in strengthening planning skills and family involvement. Keywords: career search self-efficacy, career decision self-efficacy, parental support, student life satisfaction, vocational high school
