Instagram has evolved into a digital public sphere that enables collective interaction and the expression of social identity, particularly within the context of sports fandom. This study aims to analyze the representation of social identity among supporters of the Indonesian National Football Team in digital interactions found in the comment section of the "Round 4" post on the official Instagram account @timnasindonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using netnography to examine communication practices, symbols, language, and emotional expressions manifested in online interactions among supporters. The analytical framework is grounded in Social Identity Theory proposed by Tajfel and Turner, which emphasizes three core processes: social categorization, social identification, and social comparison. The findings reveal that Instagram comment sections function as arenas for constructing collective identity among Indonesian national team supporters. Social categorization is reflected in the symbolic boundaries formed between "us" as supporters and "others" as outsiders or opponents. Social identification is expressed through displays of national pride, emotional loyalty, the use of national symbols, and narratives of digital solidarity. Meanwhile, social comparison emerges through evaluations of rival teams, criticism of dissenting voices, and efforts to maintain a positive in-group image. These results indicate that digital fanaticism toward the Indonesian National Team extends beyond sports support, representing a form of digital nationalism and social identity construction in the new media environment. This study contributes to digital communication scholarship by deepening the understanding of how social identity and nationalism are negotiated through symbolic interaction on social media platforms.

This study concludes that a family-centered approach is crucial in the assessment process. Therefore, stronger collaboration between professionals and parents is needed to support the optimal development of children with autism.

Adolescence is a transitional period prone to problematic behavior due to significant physical, emotional, and social changes. One of the main factors influencing adolescent behavior is parenting style. This study aims to examine the importance of parenting styles in preventing problematic behavior in adolescents. The method used in this study is a literature review. The results of the study indicate that democratic (authoritative) parenting plays a protective role in preventing delinquency, aggressive behavior, and maladaptive behavior. Conversely, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles tend to be positively correlated with increased deviant, aggressive, and antisocial behavior in adolescents. Furthermore, self-control and morality act as mediators that can strengthen or reduce the influence of parenting styles on juvenile delinquency. Thus, the role of the family as the primary and primary environment is crucial in early detection and prevention of problematic behavior in adolescents.

Adolescence is a period of development characterized by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes, making adolescents vulnerable to various forms of violence, including sexual harassment.

The analysis process was carried out using content analysis techniques by grouping findings based on main themes, namely forms of sexual harassment, risk factors, impacts, and the role of guidance and counseling services. The results of the study indicate that sexual harassment among adolescents occurs in various forms, both directly and through digital media, with complex causal factors encompassing individual, family, social, and cultural aspects. The impacts are not only physical, but also psychological and social in the long term. Guidance and counseling services play a crucial role in preventive, curative, and developmental efforts through education, mentoring, and strengthening students' social skills. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening guidance and counseling services as a systematic strategy in creating a safe and responsive school environment to cases of sexual harassment in adolescents.

This study aims to provide a detailed overview of efforts in counseling and guidance programs that teach self-control skills to children whose gaming habits are causing problems. When children spend too much time playing online video games, it can negatively impact their mental health. Problems with emotional regulation, irritability, and lack of self-control in daily life are possible consequences. Appropriate counseling and guidance services are needed to help children develop more adaptive skills to manage their emotions. This study used extensive qualitative data and followed a case study technique. A child whose gaming addiction was causing problems for him participated in the study. Data analysis included tasks such as data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions; data collection methods included documentation, interviews, and observation. Based on the findings, guidance and counseling programs can teach children self-control strategies to help them manage their emotions, reduce irritation, and become more self-aware when playing online games. Therefore, teaching children self-control skills may be a good way to help them overcome negative feelings that arise from playing online video games.

This study uses a qualitative research design with a literature study approach to examine the theological meaning of the suffering of the righteous in the Book of Job, specifically chapters 1–2 and 38–42. The literature study method was applied by collecting primary data in the form of biblical texts and secondary data from relevant national scientific journals. The approach used includes narrative interpretation to understand the story's structure, Job's character, and the dynamics of events, and theological interpretation to interpret suffering from the perspective of God's sovereignty. The results show that Job is portrayed as a righteous man who is pious, honest, and fears God, so his suffering is not related to personal sin. Job's suffering is holistic, encompassing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects, and occurs in the context of God's permission of Satan's actions, confirming that no event is outside His sovereignty. God's response in chapters 38–42 emphasizes His greatness and wisdom through revelation from the storm, rather than through a rational explanation of the cause of suffering. These findings confirm that the primary purpose of suffering is not to be explained intellectually, but to purify faith and deepen humanity's relationship with God. Its relevance for the church today lies in the need for sound theological teaching on suffering, pastoral care for those who suffer, and the development of communities that sustain the faith and hope of the congregation. Thus, suffering, from the perspective of God's sovereignty, serves as a means of forming spiritual character, strengthening the resilience of faith, and recognizing the sovereign God.

Digital literacy is an individual's ability to access, understand, evaluate, and use digital information and technology wisely, critically, and responsibly. This skill is crucial for students to use technology safely and avoid various risks in the digital space. The development of digital technology and the increasingly widespread use of social media have provided various conveniences in people's lives, particularly in communication and information access. However, on the other hand, these developments also pose various risks for children and adolescents, one of which is the crime of child grooming in the digital space.

This study aims to examine the role of digital literacy in raising students' awareness of the dangers of child grooming in the digital era. The method used in this study was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR. The results indicate that low digital literacy among students makes them more vulnerable to various forms of digital crime, including child grooming that occurs through social media and online games. Conversely, strengthening digital literacy through education in schools, the role of guidance and counseling teachers, and parental supervision can increase students' awareness of the risks of digital interactions and protect themselves from potential cybercrimes. Therefore, digital literacy is a crucial effort in preventing child grooming and protecting children in the era of information technology development.

 Sexual violence against women and children is still a serious problem in Indonesia. Girls are among the most vulnerable groups because of their young age, emotional dependence, and the imbalance of power with perpetrators who are generally older or close to the victim. Cases of violence often occur in various environments, such as within the family, early marriage, or social relationships such as dating or friendships with older men. This situation often places girls in a weak position, making it difficult for them to resist or report the violence they experience. This research aims to examine forms of sexual violence against girls in relationships with large age differences and examine legal protection based on Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Crimes of Sexual Violence. The research uses qualitative methods through literature study by reviewing books, scientific journals, regulations, and data from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection. The results of the study show that unequal age relations often give rise to power inequalities that trigger domination, control and various forms of violence, such as sexual coercion, physical violence, psychological manipulation and domestic exploitation. The TPKS Law plays an important role as a basis for legal protection and fulfillment of rights for victims

Prosocial behavior is an important aspect of adolescents’ social-emotional development that needs to be optimally fostered through early detection efforts to prevent the emergence of social and mental health problems. This study employed a library research method by reviewing various journals and scientific articles related to the early detection of adolescent prosocial behavior. The findings indicate that prosocial behavior is influenced by internal factors such as empathy, emotional regulation, emotional intelligence, self-concept, and religiosity, as well as external factors including family environment, peer relationships, and education. Early detection enables school counselors to design intervention services that are aligned with students’ developmental needs. Therefore, it is essential to implement Guidance and Counseling services through the teaching of prosocial skills, empathy, communication, emotional regulation, conflict resolution training, and the enhancement of students’ self-efficacy. The use of social media to reinforce positive behavior, the provision of positive communication modules, and collaboration among teachers, parents, and the entire school community serve as systematic and sustainable strategies in shaping adolescents’ prosocial character.

This article discusses the relationship between parenting styles and adolescents’ social behavior. Adolescence is a developmental stage characterized by increasing social demands, making the role of the family, particularly parents, crucial in shaping adolescents’ social adjustment. This study employed a literature review method by examining relevant textbooks and national and international journal articles related to parenting styles and adolescents’ social behavior. The findings indicate that parenting styles have a significant influence on adolescents’ social behavior. Authoritative or democratic parenting is identified as the most effective style in promoting positive social behaviors, such as empathy, cooperation, social concern, and adaptive social skills. In contrast, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles are associated with various social behavior problems, including aggression, social anxiety, and low social competence. Furthermore, the relationship between parenting styles and adolescents’ social behavior is mediated by internal psychological factors, such as self-control and emotional intelligence. Therefore, warm, responsive, and consistent parenting practices are essential to support optimal social development in adolescents.

The rapid growth of TikTok Shop as a social commerce platform has led to the emergence of 'toxic content' produced by influencers as a marketing tactic that effectively influences Generation Z's shopping behavior. This study investigates the role of TikTok Shop influencers and their 'toxic content' in stimulating impulse buying behavior among Generation Z consumers in the fast fashion sector, focusing on the psychological mechanisms involved, the most frequently purchased product categories, and the broader impacts of these consumption patterns. A qualitative research approach with a phenomenological design was used, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews with eight informants: six Generation Z consumers aged 19–24 years and two active TikTok Shop fashion influencers, selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). Findings show that 'toxic content' acts as a stimulus within the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theoretical framework, triggering impulse buying within minutes by evoking positive emotions and urgency. The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) mechanism, driven by emotional triggers like time scarcity, social proof, and exclusivity, was the most dominant psychological factor. The most commonly purchased items were tops, coordinated sets, aesthetic bottoms, locally-made footwear, and accessories. The effects of 'toxic content' are financial, psychological, social, and environmental. This study advances influencer marketing literature and provides insights into Generation Z’s consumer behavior in the social commerce age.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based learning media and its implications for student learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This study uses a systematic literature review approach by examining various reputable scientific articles discussing the integration of AI in education and the dynamics of learning motivation in the context of PAI. The results of the study indicate that the use of AI through adaptive learning systems, educational chatbots, gamification, and learning analytics can increase the effectiveness, personalization, and interactivity of learning. This implementation has a positive impact on cognitive motivation through increased conceptual understanding, affective motivation through active participation and emotional engagement, and spiritual motivation through strengthening reflection and internalization of Islamic values. However, ethical challenges, the risk of depersonalization of the teacher's role, and inequality in digital access are crucial issues that require policy attention and human-centered pedagogical design. Theoretically, this study offers an integrative conceptual framework that combines technological innovation with Islamic educational epistemology. Practically, the results of this study provide recommendations for teachers, schools, and policymakers to develop AI-based PAI learning models that are adaptive, ethical, and oriented towards character building.

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of various intervention strategies, including counseling services, learning strategies, and occupational therapy in treating children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through a qualitative method based on literature studies, this study applies systematic data processing to evaluate the impact of a holistic approach on children's behavior and concentration. Analysis is carried out through data reduction procedures, data presentation, and verification of conclusions to measure the extent to which a holistic approach influences the development of children's behavior and concentration abilities. The results of the study indicate that multimodal approaches, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and occupational therapy, are effective in improving children's self-control, emotional regulation, and motor skills. In addition, the implementation of an Individual Learning Program (IPP) in schools and intensive collaboration with parents play a major role in creating a supportive environment for children with ADHD. This study concludes that integrated treatment between behavioral interventions and the success of optimizing children's potential depends heavily on the integration of professional behavioral treatment with active support from the family.

Majelis Taklim (Islamic study groups) in urban areas play a strategic role beyond traditional religious education, specifically as a means of empowering women's social movements. This study aims to analyze the mechanisms of women's empowerment through Majelis Taklim Dar El Ihsan and its impact on strengthening social solidarity in Bambu Apus Village, Pamulang.

These findings confirm that Majelis Taklim effectively functions as a "third space" in building social resilience in urban communities through empowering women's institutions.

Child grooming is a form of non-physical sexual abuse that involves gradual emotional manipulation, often making it difficult to detect. It typically begins with the abuser gaining the child’s trust and gradually introducing inappropriate behavior, with the goal of sexual exploitation. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of child grooming and the crucial role of guidance and counseling in preventing and managing such cases. The method employed is a literature review, analyzing various relevant scientific articles and research studies. The findings indicate that child grooming is influenced by several factors, including individual traits, family dynamics, and the use of digital media, which has become an increasingly prevalent platform for such abuse. Victims of grooming often experience significant psychological and social consequences, including trauma, emotional distress, and difficulty in forming healthy relationships. Guidance and counseling services are essential in the prevention, early detection, and intervention in grooming cases. These services provide support for both potential victims and their families, helping them understand and recognize the signs of grooming. Additionally, counseling plays a key role in victim recovery, offering psychological support to overcome the lasting impacts of abuse. This research underscores the need for proactive measures and comprehensive guidance and counseling strategies to address child grooming effectively.
