The quick advancement of digital technology has drastically changed the social and religious life of Indonesian teenagers. The purpose of this study is to investigate how pupils at Al Muslim Junior High School's daily worship practices, self-control, and fear of missing out (FoMO) affect the principles of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The study used a quantitative methodology with a causal and correlational design. All students in grades VII, VIII, and IX made up the study population for the 2025–2026 school year. Using the Slovin formula, a proportionate stratified sample of 171 students with a 5% margin of error was chosen. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to gather data. The Pearson Product-Moment correlation (r > 0.30) was used to evaluate validity, while Cronbach's Alpha (α > 0.70) was used to test reliability. Multiple linear regression using SPSS version 26 was used for quantitative analysis, beginning with traditional assumption tests for heteroscedasticity (Glejser), multicollinearity (VIF), and normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov). According to the analysis results, self-control had a substantial, favorable impact on the practice of PAI values, but FoMO had no significant influence (β = -0.034, p = 0.530).

This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-control and the moral development of students at Medan State University. Self-control is an individual's ability to control emotions, impulses, and behavior to align with prevailing moral norms and values ​​in both academic and social settings. This study employed quantitative methods, collecting data through questionnaires distributed to students. The research instrument was used to measure students' levels of self-control and their moral development, as reflected in their attitudes of responsibility, honesty, discipline, and ethical behavior on campus. The data obtained were analyzed to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that students' levels of self-control were considered good and had a positive relationship with moral development. This suggests that students with better self-control tend to display behaviors consistent with prevailing moral values ​​and norms. Therefore, self-control plays a crucial role in the moral development of students, necessitating ongoing efforts by universities to support the development of self-control through character development and academic activities oriented toward moral values.

The high incidence of risky sexual behavior among adolescents is caused by several factors, such as the environment and low selfcontrol. Adolescents living in former red-light districts are at higher risk of risky sexual behavior due to environmental factors and a lack of self-control. Therefore, appropriate psychoeducational media are needed to help improve adolescents' selfcontrol so that risky sexual behavior can be prevented. This study aims to determine the content validity of the ‘SCOUPER’ self-control psychoeducation module as a preventive measure against risky sexual behavior among adolescents in former red-light districts. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with a 3D model (Define, Design, and Develop). The define stage analyzed the needs of adolescents, the design stage developed the self-control psychoeducation module, and the develop stage included validity testing with rating scores by experts or validators. The data analysis used in this study was descriptive analysis with Aiken's V formula and validator input. The validity test results showed that the SCOUPER self-control psychoeducation module scored between 0.75 and 1,00 in the high – very high category. Based on the validity test results, the SCOUPER module can be concluded to be valid for use with some suggestions and improvements from the validator. The SCOUPER self-control psychoeducation module is valid in terms of content, construct, and language, and has the potential to be used as a preventive medium in preventing risky sexual behavior among adolescents, especially in former red-light districts.

College students, as a group of young adults, often face life transitions that involve academic, emotional, social, and economic pressures. One of the effects of these pressures is smoking behavior. According to pre-survey data, most college students who are active smokers consume 5-10 cigarettes per day. These students admitted to having tried to quit smoking at least once, but their efforts were unsuccessful, and they returned to their old habits. This difficulty indicates challenges in self-control. Participants in this study were active smokers across Indonesia, with a minimum consumption of 5–10 cigarettes per day. This study is quantitative in nature, using a self-control scale and a nicotine dependence scale to determine the absence of self-control influence on nicotine addiction. Data analysis in this study was conducted using simple linear regression analysis, yielding a p-value of 0.070 (>0.05). Therefore, it was concluded that self-control does not significantly influence addiction in the study sample.

In today’s digital era, the rapid advancement of technology has reshaped the way people seek entertainment, with online games becoming a dominant pastime, particularly among university students. While gaming provides an outlet for relaxation and escapism, its excessive use often leads to addictive behaviors that interfere with academic responsibilities, physical health, and social functioning. This research was designed to explore how self-control influences the tendency toward online game addiction among students. Utilizing a quantitative correlational method, the study gathered data from 111 university students across various disciplines who actively engage in online gaming. The measurement tools consisted of validated Likert-scale questionnaires, and statistical analysis was conducted using simple linear regression. The findings revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between self-control and gaming addiction, indicating that individuals with stronger self-regulation skills are less likely to develop problematic gaming behaviors. These results highlight the vital role of self-control in maintaining a balanced academic and personal life. The study emphasizes the need for strategic interventions within educational settings to foster better emotional regulation among students as a preventative measure against gaming addiction.

This study aims to analyze the effect of self-control and peers on student learning motivation in Financial Management courses in the Office Administration Education Study Program, State University of Jakarta. This research is motivated by the high dropout rate in Indonesia, which shows that learning motivation is an important factor in achieving academic success. The method used is quantitative with data analysis using the t test and F test to test the hypothesis. The results showed that self-control had no significant effect on learning motivation, with a t value of 1.455 and a significance of 0.170. In contrast, peer influence proved significant, with t count 2.640 and significance <0.001. The F test also showed that both variables simultaneously had a significant effect on learning motivation, with a calculated F value of 5.306 and significance below 0.05. The findings confirm the importance of social support from peers in increasing students' learning motivation, while self-control needs to be strengthened to support better academic achievement. This study provides recommendations for students to choose a positive social environment and for lecturers to create a learning atmosphere that supports interaction between students

Academic procrastination, the act of delaying academic tasks, is prevalent among students, as evidenced by the research of Solomon and Rothblum (1984) and Knaus (2002). Factors such as self-control and conformity influence this procrastination. This study, involving 143 psychology students from semesters 1, 3, & 5 at Universitas Islam 45 Bekasi, employs a quantitative correlational method. The results of the linearity test indicate a significant relationship between self-control and academic procrastination (p < 0.05), but no significant linear relationship between conformity and academic procrastination. Consequently, it is concluded that there is a correlation between self-control and academic procrastination in these students.
