Investment refers to the decision to allocate a certain amount of funds in the present with the expectation of obtaining returns in the future. Investment decisions are influenced by an individual’s knowledge, behavior, and emotions. Investors consider not only the prospects of investment instruments but also the psychological factors that shape their decisions. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of financial literacy, mental accounting, and risk aversion on students’ investment decisions. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, with a sample of 139 students selected using a census method. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that financial literacy and mental accounting have a positive influence on students’ investment decisions, while risk aversion has no significant effect. These results highlight the importance of financial knowledge and psychological awareness in making sound investment decisions. This study serves as a reference for students to better manage their finances and make more rational and well-planned investment choices.

The increasing number of rape crimes by child perpetrators is a serious problem that needs to be reviewed in depth, not only from a legal aspect, but also from a criminological perspective that takes into account the child's social, psychological and environmental background. The type of research used is empirical legal research with a descriptive-analytical approach. This study relies on primary data obtained through direct interviews with staff at the Surakarta Correctional Facility and literature reviews of relevant laws and scientific literature. The results of the study indicate that internal factors such as past trauma, psychological disorders, and lack of moral understanding, as well as external factors such as family and social environments and weak supervision, are triggers for children to commit rape. The role of BAPAS Surakarta is proven to be crucial in efforts to provide support, rehabilitation, and social reintegration for children following court rulings. This study is expected to contribute scientifically to efforts to prevent and address sexual violence by children, as well as provide input for the government and correctional institutions in developing policies based on a child protection approach.

The implementation of the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean Surgery (ERACS) method as an innovation in the Sectio Cesarea (SC) surgical procedure aims to accelerate recovery, minimize pain, and improve patient comfort. Although it has been clinically proven, there is still limited research exploring patients' subjective experiences with this method, particularly in eastern Indonesia. This study aims to explore in depth the physical, emotional, psychological experiences, as well as perceptions of service and patient expectations after undergoing SC with the ERACS method at Banggai Laut General Hospital. The study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants and analyzed using Braun & Clarke's thematic analysis technique. The results showed that patients experienced rapid physical recovery, minimal pain, and were able to mobilize early. Emotionally, patients felt calm and stable, supported by good communication with medical staff and family support. However, information about the ERACS procedure before surgery was still perceived as lacking detail. Patients also hope that this method continues to be implemented with improvements in educational aspects and financial support from BPJS. Patients' experiences with the ERACS method are generally very positive and reflect the success of this approach not only clinically but also in creating a more comfortable, efficient, and humane childbirth experience. This study recommends enhancing preoperative education, postoperative monitoring, and more inclusive financial support systems.

This study aims to describe the forms of community participation and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in the preservation of the Wolotopo Traditional Village tourism site, located in Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation involving purposively selected key informants, including traditional leaders, village officials, local residents, and representatives from the Tourism Office. The findings indicate that community participation comprises four main forms: psychological (idea contribution), physical (labor), material (goods), and financial (monetary) participation. Psychological participation remains limited due to low cultural literacy and a lack of participatory space, while other forms of participation demonstrate more active community involvement in cultural and environmental preservation efforts. Supporting factors include strong social solidarity, collective programs such as the “Clean Friday” initiative, and institutional collaboration, whereas obstacles consist of inadequate infrastructure, economic dependence on the primary sector, and limited human resource capacity in tourism management. Therefore, the preservation of Wolotopo Traditional Village requires a sustainable, collaborative approach grounded in community empowerment, local economic strengthening, and the enhancement of social and cultural competencies.

This study aims to examine how the construction of sexuality is represented and perceived through Instagram social media. As a dominant visual platform, Instagram plays an important role in shaping body image, gender, and intimate relationships that are often influenced by popular culture, media algorithms, and prevailing social norms. Using a qualitative approach and in-depth interview method with six informants, this study found that the representation of sexuality on Instagram generally reflects ideal body standards, which can cause social and psychological pressures, such as body anxiety, insecurity, and objectification. On the other hand, some users also see Instagram as a space for self-expression, empowerment, and education, especially for those who have a critical awareness of the social construction behind the content. Perceptions of ideal sexuality also vary widely, depending on the cultural background, personal experiences, and visual preferences of each user. These findings emphasize the importance of media literacy and critical reflection so that social media can become a healthier, fairer, and gender-inclusive digital space.

The ratification of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) through Law Number 1 of 2023 marks an important milestone in the history of Indonesian criminal law. The new Criminal Code replaces the colonial product that has been in place for more than a century and brings significant updates, especially in the regulation of gender-based crimes such as sexual and psychological violence. The recognition of these forms of violence is a response to the demands of civil society and is part of Indonesia's commitment to international human rights instruments. However, the effectiveness of such arrangements still faces serious challenges, such as the narrowness of the criminal formulation, the high burden of proof, and the potential for gender bias in the criminal justice system. In this context, criminal law should not only be a means of repression, but also carry out preventive and protective functions through holistic criminal policies. An integrative approach that combines penal and non-penal strategies is important to address the complexity of gender-based violence that is structural and multidimensional. This article aims to critically evaluate the provisions of the new Criminal Code related to sexual and psychological violence in the perspective of gender-responsive criminal policy. The evaluation was carried out taking into account the principles of restorative justice, the protection of victims' rights, and the need for social transformation that supports equality and non-discrimination. The results of this study are expected to be an input for the improvement of a criminal law system that is fairer and on the side of victims, especially women and other vulnerable groups.

Bullying is a social and psychological issue that frequently occurs in elementary school settings, including madrasah ibtidaiyah. This behavior negatively affects students’ emotional, social, and academic development. This community service program aimed to provide anti-bullying education to elementary school students through interactive and Islamic value-based approaches. Activities included educational sessions, group discussions, role-playing, moral reflections, and class agreements against bullying. The program revealed students’ enthusiasm in identifying bullying behavior and understanding the importance of mutual respect. It also encouraged collective commitment through a child-friendly classroom declaration. This initiative is expected to contribute to building a safe, inclusive, and supportive school environment for holistic student development.

This study explores the relationship between religiosity and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) within contemporary organizations by adopting a positive psychology perspective. OCB is defined as discretionary behaviors by employees that go beyond their formal job duties and contribute positively to the overall functioning and success of the organization. Examples include helping colleagues, being punctual, and demonstrating initiative, which foster a cooperative and productive work environment. Religiosity, on the other hand, is understood as a belief system that shapes an individual’s values, attitudes, and behaviors, both intrinsically—stemming from internal spiritual commitment—and extrinsically—motivated by external social or cultural influences. Through a systematic review of ten national and international academic journals, this study identifies several common dimensions of OCB, such as altruism (helping others selflessly), civic virtue (active and responsible participation in organizational affairs), and conscientiousness (going beyond minimal job requirements). The findings reveal a consistent positive correlation between religiosity and OCB, especially in sectors like education, Islamic banking, and healthcare, where religious principles strongly influence organizational culture. The integration of religious values into organizational practices encourages employees to exhibit behaviors that promote harmony, ethical conduct, and a sense of community within the workplace. This is particularly evident in employees who possess high levels of intrinsic religiosity, as their internalized beliefs motivate them to engage in prosocial actions that benefit the organization. The study recommends that human resource management strategies incorporate religious or spiritual values to cultivate a positive organizational culture. Such integration can be achieved through training programs, leadership development, and reward systems that emphasize ethical behavior and social responsibility, ultimately leading to improved employee satisfaction, loyalty, and overall organizational performance.

This research examines the integration of Sufism and positive psychology approaches as interventions to manage existential anxiety in Generation Z in the digital era. Existential anxiety, characterized by questions about life's meaning, death, and self-authenticity, is increasing in the generation that has grown up in the digital technology era. Through a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods, this study involved 30 Generation Z participants (18-25 years old) experiencing existential anxiety. The results show that Sufi practices such as dhikr, muhasabah, and tazkiyatun nafs combined with positive psychology interventions such as mindfulness, gratitude practice, and strength-based approach can improve psychological well-being, reduce existential anxiety, and build deeper meaning in life. The integration of these two approaches provides a holistic framework that combines Islamic spirituality with modern psychological science to address the psychological problems of the digital generation. The implication of this research is the development of an intervention model based on local wisdom and spirituality for the mental health of young people in the digital era.

This study analyzes the mediating role of Friendly Leadership in transforming church culture from Performative Spirituality to Oikos Theology. Performative spirituality, which measures self-worth through performance and ritual, creates a hierarchical and oppressive church environment. This crisis demands a theological shift towards Oikos, a vision of the church as God's holistic, relational household that is responsible for the community and the environment. Through qualitative literature study methods, it was found that Friendly Leadership is a key mediator. This model, based on Christ's hospitality and friendship (John 15:15), serves a dual purpose: First, it dismantles performative spirituality by building psychological safety, reducing fear, and encouraging authentic vulnerability. Second, it effectively builds an Oikos culture by encouraging congregational participation (ownership) and expanding the church's focus from internal affairs to socio-ecological concerns. In conclusion, Friendly Leadership is a vital practical bridge for realizing healthy and inclusive cultural transformation for the 21st-century church.

Human resources play a fundamental role as a key component in supporting the success of an organization or agency, including village governments, as they serve as the link between formulated visions, missions, and targets and their actual implementation in the field. This study specifically focuses on examining the influence of transformational leadership, communication, and the work environment on the performance of village officials, with job satisfaction as a key mediating variable. The research method employed a quantitative approach with purposive sampling, involving 79 village officials deemed representative of the population. The findings indicate that transformational leadership partially has a significant impact on increasing the motivation, loyalty, and work ethic of village officials, as visionary leaders are able to direct, inspire, and encourage employees to work more optimally. Communication has also been shown to play a significant role, as open, two-way, and transparent communication minimizes misunderstandings and creates harmonious working relationships among employees and between superiors and subordinates. A conducive work environment, both physically, psychologically, and socially, contributes to a sense of security, comfort, and higher work morale. Furthermore, this study confirms that job satisfaction is a crucial mediating factor in linking transformational leadership, communication, and the work environment with the performance of village officials. This is because when employees are satisfied with their jobs, their commitment, productivity, and dedication to their tasks increase significantly. Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for an integrated strategy in human resource management at the village level, with an emphasis on an inspirational leadership style, an effective communication system, the creation of a healthy work environment, and increasing job satisfaction as a sustainable effort.

Women entrepreneurship in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) plays a vital role in the local economy. However, women entrepreneurs often face complex emotional and psychological challenges due to their dual roles as housewives and entrepreneurs. Market uncertainty, social pressure, and lack of support from their environment further burden their workload. This study aims to explore the subjective experiences of women micro MSMEs, particularly in dealing with the psychological pressures of carrying out these roles. The research method used is a qualitative phenomenological approach with seven informants from the culinary, handicraft, and online trading sectors. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, then analyzed using a thematic approach based on the Miles & Huberman model. The results of the study revealed four main themes: (1) the pressure of dual roles that often trigger stress and emotional exhaustion (burnout), (2) chronic anxiety related to fear of business failure and income instability, (3) spirituality and religious activities as meaning-based coping mechanisms, and (4) the importance of social support from partners, family, and community as a balance of emotional conditions. These findings confirm that the success and sustainability of women's businesses depend not only on economic capital or technical skills, but are also significantly influenced by mental health and the strength of social networks. Therefore, empowerment programs for women's MSMEs need to be designed holistically, encompassing psychosocial aspects, coping strategy training, and strengthening supportive and inclusive social networks.

This study aims to analyze the influence of social media and social environment on the hedonistic lifestyle among contemporary adolescents. A hedonistic lifestyle, which prioritizes the pursuit of personal pleasure and material satisfaction, has become increasingly prevalent among adolescents with the rapid development of technology, especially social media. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and case studies involving adolescents who are active social media users in several major cities in Indonesia. The results indicate that social media plays a significant role in shaping ideal life standards that emphasize luxury, social status, and instant gratification, which influences adolescents to pursue similar lifestyles. Additionally, the social environment, particularly family and peer groups, further strengthens adolescents' desire to gain recognition and social status through a consumerist lifestyle. The study also finds that although a hedonistic lifestyle provides momentary satisfaction, its long-term effects can be detrimental both psychologically and financially, and can worsen self-image and emotional well-being among adolescents. Therefore, it is important to provide more comprehensive education to adolescents on the wise use of social media and support the development of healthier life values within family and school environments.

The phenomenon of catcalling is a form of verbal sexual harassment that is often trivialized by society, even though this practice reflects the existence of symbolic power that places women in a subordinate position in public spaces. Catcalling demonstrates the enduring dominance of patriarchal culture, which is embedded through language and actions that appear ordinary yet subtly demean women's dignity. This study aims to describe the forms and characteristics of catcalling, examine catcalling as a manifestation of symbolic violence, and identify the social and psychological impacts experienced by victims. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through direct observation and in-depth interviews with young women at Taman Literasi Blok M. Based on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of symbolic violence, this study concludes that catcalling not only has an emotional impact but also reinforces gender inequality that is internalized in social norms. This practice occurs through a symbolic process that is inherited and normalized in everyday interactions.

The level of aggressiveness and violent crime among teenagers is increasing, with social psychological factors playing an important role in this phenomenon. This research aims to understand the root causes of aggres sive behavior in adolescents and its impact, in order to develop effective intervention strategies. Through literature study methods, this research collects, reads, records and analyzes objectively, systematically, analytically and critically the social and psychological impacts of aggressiveness among adolescents. Results from a review of several journals show that aggressive adolescent behavior is caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, brain development, family parenting, domestic violence, mental disorders, peer influence, and media exposure.  

The phenomenon of teenage brawls in the Manggarai area, South Jakarta, reflects deviant actions influenced by social and cultural conditions in society. These disputes are triggered by a number of factors, such as competition between groups, lack of parental supervision, limited access to positive activities, and provocations carried out through social media platforms. In this case, Robert K. Merton's anomie theory is applied to analyze how the mismatch between social goals and legitimate means drives teenagers to take the path of violence in order to gain social recognition and group solidarity. This study applies a qualitative descriptive approach using in-depth interview techniques and participant observation of community leaders in RW 04, RW 05, and RW 12. The research findings show that brawls in Manggarai are more than just juvenile delinquent behavior, but are a form of response to social pressure and lack of opportunities for self-realization. The social consequences of these brawls include psychological trauma, social stigma, and disruption to the stability of the surrounding environment. However, the local community has tried to prevent this by implementing a religion-based approach, skills training, and strengthening coordination between regions. This study emphasizes that structural interventions and community-based approaches are key to addressing the root causes of brawls in a comprehensive and sustainable manner.
