Mental resilience is a crucial psychological asset that determines the performance consistency of athletes under competitive and training pressures. This study aims to analyze the mental resilience of karate athletes at SMAN 3 Tana Toraja from the perspective of guidance and counseling. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving eight karate athletes and two coaches selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that athletes generally demonstrate moderate to high levels of mental resilience, characterized by adaptive emotional regulation, positive self-talk, and effective coping strategies. Supporting factors include intrinsic motivation, coach social support, peer cohesion, and cumulative competitive experience. Inhibiting factors comprise unmanaged pre-competition anxiety, absence of structured post-defeat psychological recovery, and limited institutional counseling support. From the guidance and counseling perspective, these findings underscore the critical need for integrating psychological skills training into the karate coaching program, including counselor-facilitated group counseling sessions and individual psychological development plans tailored to each athlete.

In the era of globalization, children are exposed to a social environment influenced by external factors such as social media, advertising, and a consumer culture, all of which can promote a materialistic lifestyle. Consequently, financial literacy education has become essential to equip children with the necessary skills to manage their finances effectively. Beginning with a simple understanding of accounting, children can learn fundamental concepts of money management, financial decision-making, and planning. However, many young children still lack access to this vital education. Various learning methods and media, including loose parts, storytelling, and interactive educational tools, can be utilized to foster financial understanding. Additionally, this education promotes important social concepts like sharing, charity, and the responsibility of managing finances to help others. It integrates Islamic principles, emphasizing values such as honesty, justice, transparency, and the avoidance of usury. Through these principles, children are not only taught how to manage their personal finances but also how to contribute to society. By implementing financial literacy education at an early age, we can help children grow into informed, ethical, and responsible leaders in the future. This education is crucial for ensuring they make sound financial choices and contribute positively to their communities.

This study examines inclusive education for children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), who often experience significant challenges in social interaction and academic adaptation. The primary objective is to evaluate existing educational approaches and strategies implemented in Indonesia, while also identifying gaps in current research and practice. This study employs a literature review method, analyzing 20 relevant scientific articles to synthesize key findings and trends. The results indicate that structured approaches such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) have proven effective in improving students’ behavioral outcomes, emotional regulation, and academic performance. These approaches emphasize proactive strategies, skill development, and supportive learning environments. However, several persistent challenges hinder optimal implementation, including limited teacher knowledge and training in inclusive practices, insufficient institutional support, and a lack of access to professional psychological services.

The development of digital technology and the widespread use of social media, particularly Instagram and TikTok, have opened opportunities for online interaction but also increased the risk of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is aggressive behavior via digital media intended to harm or degrade others. One psychological factor believed to influence this behavior is emotional regulation, which is the ability to manage and express emotions appropriately in different situations. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional regulation and cyberbullying behavior among early adult students in Jambi. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was used, involving 127 students aged 18–25 years, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an online questionnaire, which included an emotional regulation scale and a cyberbullying behavior scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with SPSS software. The results showed a significant negative relationship between emotional regulation and cyberbullying behavior, with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.632 and a significance level of p < 0.001. This indicates that students with better emotional regulation skills are less likely to engage in cyberbullying. Thus, enhancing emotional regulation skills could be an effective strategy in preventing cyberbullying among students.
