Integrated assessment is a multidisciplinary approach used in the judicial system to evaluate the psychological, social and medical conditions of legal subjects, particularly in cases involving children, victims of violence, persons with mental disabilities or defendants with psychological disorders. This study aims to examine the evidentiary strength of integrated assessment from juridical and psychological perspectives using a normative juridical approach. The findings reveal that although integrated assessments are recognized in legal practice, their status as admissible evidence is not yet explicitly regulated in criminal procedural law. From a psychological perspective, such assessments possess high scientific value and can provide an objective overview of the subject’s condition. However, limited understanding among legal practitioners regarding the interpretation of assessment results remains a major challenge. Therefore, regulatory harmonization and cross-sectoral capacity building are needed to optimize the function of integrated assessments in court proceedings.

This article aims to theoretically examine the relationship between unhealthy personality, cognitive distortion, and the application of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in counseling practice. This study uses a literature study method with a conceptual approach, namely analyzing relevant literature without collecting field data. The results of the study indicate that unhealthy personality is often influenced by cognitive distortions that cause individuals to view themselves and their environment negatively and irrationally. CBT is an effective counseling approach to help individuals recognize and reconstruct negative thought patterns to be more realistic and adaptive. In conclusion, CBT can be used as a psychological intervention strategy in dealing with unhealthy personality problems, especially in students who experience academic pressure and impostor syndrome.  

Dating relationships as a form of intimate personal relationships do not always go as expected. In fact, many cases show that these relationships can lead to discomfort and forms of violence, such as physical, psychological, sexual and financial abuse. This phenomenon has become one of the most discussed social issues, especially on social media. The Instagram account @indonesiatanpapacaran is present as a response to this issue, by voicing an invitation to abandon the practice of dating through moral and religious narratives. The existence of this account has led to various responses from the public, including students as a group of active social media users. This research aims to find out how students perceive the existence of the @indonesiatanpaparan account in the digital space. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interview techniques and observation as data collection methods. The results showed that students gave diverse responses to the account, reflecting different attitudes, experiences, and perspectives in addressing the dating issues raised. This diversity also confirms that social media is a dynamic space that allows the formation of public opinion on complex social issues.

Bullying is one of the prominent social problems that significantly impacts the psychological well-being and academic development of elementary school students. This study aims to explore the implementation of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies in addressing bullying behavior among fifth-grade students at SD Inpres Pannujuang, located in Bajeng Barat District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi.

These results indicate that these cognitive techniques can serve as practical psychological interventions for managing negative thinking.

Catcalling or verbal sexual harassment is a social phenomenon that is rampant in Indonesia. It involves unwanted sexualized remarks that dehumanize the victim and can have a psychological impact. Although Law Number 12 of 2022 on Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) has regulated non-physical sexual harassment in Article 5, its application in the field still faces various obstacles. This study aims to determine the legal formulation of the application of sanctions against perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment (catcalling). This research uses an empirical normative approach. The results show that the legal formulation of the application of sanctions against perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment has progressed with explicit regulation in Article 5 of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law). To realize substantive and effective justice, it is necessary to improve the formulation of sanctions, integrate non-criminal sanctions, increase the capacity of law enforcers, and strengthen public education.

The combination of physical practice and moral reflection proved to be a sustainable and transformative approach to santri empowerment.

This study aims to analyze the figurative language used in the song lyrics of “Cause You Have To” by the American band LANY. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research identifies and interprets various types of figurative language found in the lyrics, focusing on metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, symbolism, irony, allusion, and synecdoche. The findings reveal that these figurative devices play a significant role in conveying the emotional depth, psychological tension, and relational conflict expressed in the song. Metaphors and hyperboles dominate the lyrics, enhancing the emotional impact by illustrating themes of unreciprocated love, emotional detachment, and inner turmoil. For example, metaphors like “the silence is getting too cold” and hyperbolic expressions such as “I’d drive through the night” contribute to the song’s emotional intensity. The study concludes that figurative language is essential in shaping the narrative and emotional resonance of the song, allowing listeners to engage with the lyrics on a more personal and interpretive level. This research highlights the importance of figurative language in music and its role in deepening the listener’s emotional experience.

This study examines the portrayal of existentialist principles and characterization in Final Destination 5 (2011), directed by Steven Quale. The research aims to identify the methods of characterization used for the five main characters and explore how Sartrean existentialism is reflected in their struggles. Using a qualitative approach, the study applies Kenney’s method of characterization and Sartre’s existentialist framework to analyze key scenes, dialogues, and character interactions. Data was collected through repeated viewings of the film, with critical moments transcribed and categorized based on characterization methods and existential principles. The findings reveal that Final Destination 5 employs a mixed method, with the dramatic method being the most dominant, supplemented by character on other characters and contextual methods to develop psychologically complex main characters. Existentialist principles emerge strongly, particularly the idea that "existence precedes essence," as characters are stripped of predefined roles and forced to define themselves through desperate actions. The burden of freedom and responsibility is evident in moral dilemmas, while the confrontation between anguish and authenticity shapes their responses to impending death. Sam’s journey from fear to acceptance exemplifies Sartrean authenticity, whereas Nathan’s ethical crisis highlights the paradox of human freedom.

This study recommends the need for more focused prevention efforts on the root causes of bullying, as well as the necessity of social support for both victims and perpetrators of bullying to reduce the negative impact on adolescent psychological development.

Adolescence is a critical phase in individual development, especially for adolescent girls who begin to experience menstruation as a sign of reproductive maturity. However, not all adolescents experience menstruation normally; some experience disorders such as menstrual pain, irregular cycles, and prolonged bleeding. This study aims to explore in depth the subjective experiences of adolescent girls with menstrual disorders at SMP Negeri 2 Bunta, Banggai Regency, focusing on the nature of the disorders experienced, their interpretation of these experiences, coping strategies, and the social support received. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The primary informants were female adolescents in grades VII–IX who had experienced menstrual disorders in the past six months, selected purposively until data saturation was achieved. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that menstrual disorders are viewed as normal by most informants, despite causing physical discomfort and psychological anxiety. Adolescents' responses to these disorders vary, ranging from the use of warm compresses and medication to no intervention at all. The primary sources of information are mothers and social media, while the roles of teachers and schools remain limited. Social support is most commonly provided by family, although some adolescents also feel supported by peers and teachers. This study emphasizes the importance of systematic reproductive health education, school involvement in supporting adolescents, and the creation of safe and stigma-free discussion spaces regarding menstruation-related issues.

The habit of smoking and using e-cigarettes (vape) among adolescents in Indonesia shows a significant increasing trend. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of various factors that influence dependence on cigarettes and vapes in adolescents, by analyzing 30 national scientific articles. The results of the review revealed that the dominant factors contributing to this behavior include the influence of the friendship environment, permissive parental attitudes, lack of knowledge, psychological pressure, and exposure to the media. In addition, education was found to be an effective strategy in increasing understanding and reducing smoking intentions. This behavior is also driven by the mistaken view that vaping is considered safer than regular cigarettes. This study suggests the need for a cross-sectoral approach, which includes ongoing education, regulatory enforcement, and the active role of families and educational institutions in efforts to prevent and control cigarette and vape addiction among adolescents.

Siometry is a psychological measurement tool used to determine interpersonal relationships in small groups. In the digital era marked by rapid social and technological changes, the effectiveness of siometry needs to be re-examined. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using siometry in identifying group dynamics, especially in the context of modern education and organizations. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study indicate that siometry remains relevant and effective in revealing social structures and individual relational preferences, especially when combined with digital technology such as interactive applications. However, some limitations arise related to bias in perception and interpretation of the results. In conclusion, siometry is still an effective tool for social mapping, with greater potential if integrated with modern technology.

Entrepreneurs in the digital era face constant challenges that require adaptation and innovation. Although economic and managerial factors are often the focus, the role of psychological dimensions such as resilience and creativity in entrepreneurial success has not been widely reviewed in depth. This study aims to examine relevant theories and findings on psychological resilience and creativity in the context of entrepreneurship, and to build a conceptual framework to support entrepreneurial innovation. Using a qualitative literature study method, this study systematically searches, analyzes, and synthesizes scientific literature from various databases. The results of the synthesis indicate that psychological resilience is crucial for entrepreneurs to recover from failure and adapt to change. Characteristics such as optimism and emotional regulation are the pillars of mental resilience. Meanwhile, creativity is an innovation engine that facilitates the identification of new opportunities and the development of unique solutions. A synergistic relationship between resilience and creativity is also found: resilience provides a psychological buffer for taking creative risks, and the creative process can strengthen self-resilience. The theoretical implication is the need for a more holistic entrepreneurship model. In practice, this study recommends educational institutions, especially the Faculty of Psychology, to integrate the development of resilience and creativity into the entrepreneurship curriculum.

Restoration for victims of criminal acts is an essential aspect of the judicial system that is often overlooked. Law enforcement efforts tend to focus on perpetrators, while victims' rights, including physical, psychological, and financial recovery, remain neglected. The case of Een's murder and arson serves as an example where restitution and compensation rights were not clearly accommodated in legal proceedings. This article aims to examine the legal procedures available to victims or their families in obtaining restoration rights. The discussion includes criminal law aspects such as restitution and compensation based on Law No. 13 of 2006 jo. Law No. 31 of 2014 on Witness and Victim Protection, as well as the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). Additionally, this article highlights the civil law route through lawsuits based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code regarding unlawful acts (KUHAPER). With a normative juridical approach and internship experience at the Legal Consultation and Assistance Clinic of Trunojoyo Madura University, this article is expected to contribute to strengthening victims' rights within the Indonesian legal system through the available legal avenues, both criminal and civil.

Sexual harassment cases in university environments have become a serious issue that not only harms victims physically and psychologically but also undermines academic and humanitarian values. This article aims to analyze the implementation of legal aid services in addressing criminal acts of sexual harassment within higher education institutions, particularly in terms of victim protection, legal assistance, and the restoration of victims’ rights. This study employs an empirical or socio-legal approach by examining existing legal regulations and the practical implementation of legal services by campus-based legal aid institutions. The findings reveal that although several universities have established task forces or sexual violence service units, their implementation still faces challenges such as limited resources, low legal awareness, and a prevailing culture of silence among students. Therefore, institutional strengthening, continuous awareness campaigns, and victim-centered campus policies are necessary to ensure comprehensive access to justice. Legal aid services must not only be reactive but also preventive and educational, as part of a broader effort to create a safe and violence-free academic environment.  

University students often face psychological challenges, one of which is anxiety, which can negatively affect learning and academic performance. This study aims to explore the anxiety experienced by students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting (KPI) Department at the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication, particularly during classroom presentations. A qualitative method was employed, using in-depth interviews with selected KPI students as participants. The findings reveal that anxiety is triggered by academic pressure, social expectations, and a lack of self-confidence. The impacts include reduced concentration, difficulty speaking in public, and challenges in expressing ideas. Despite these issues, students employ various coping strategies, such as thorough preparation, individual practice, and support from peers. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of a more supportive learning environment that considers students' mental well-being.

This study aims to examine how the narrative of “lelaki tidak bercerita” is reproduced and internalized by young men through their personal experiences in family, friendship, and social media. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved four male students from Pendidikan Sosiologi, Universitas Negeri Jakarta as key informants. The findings show that hegemonic masculinity shapes men to suppress emotional expression from an early age, mainly through unspoken family norms and socially unsupportive relationships. While friendships and social media sometimes offer more fluid spaces, dominant narratives still restrict men’s vulnerability. Social media acts as a space for passive emotional validation, yet often reinforces old stereotypes. The impact of this construction is evident in hidden psychological burdens, emotional distraction, and indirect coping strategies. This study highlights the importance of creating inclusive and supportive social spaces where men can express emotions without stigma. By critically understanding the dynamics of hegemonic masculinity, society is encouraged to foster more empathetic and equitable social relations.
