Kenakalan remaja merupakan fenomena sosial yang semakin kompleks dan menjadi tantangan serius dalam kehidupan masyarakat, khususnya di lingkungan panti sosial pelayanan anak. Berbagai bentuk kenakalan remaja seperti pelanggaran tata tertib, pergaulan bebas, penyalahgunaan media digital, hingga tindakan yang berpotensi melanggar hukum menunjukkan pentingnya pembinaan karakter dan kesadaran hukum sejak dini. Kurangnya pemahaman tentang norma hukum, lemahnya kontrol diri, serta pengaruh lingkungan sosial menjadi faktor yang mendorong terjadinya perilaku menyimpang pada remaja. Kegiatan penyuluhan hukum yang dilaksanakan oleh Fakultas Hukum Universitas 17 Agustus (UNTAG) Semarang di Panti Sosial Pelayanan Anak Tawangmangu, Karanganyar bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran hukum, membangun karakter positif, serta memberikan pemahaman kepada remaja mengenai konsekuensi hukum dari setiap tindakan yang dilakukan. Metode yang digunakan berupa pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif melalui penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif, dan simulasi kasus sederhana yang dekat dengan kehidupan remaja. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa penyuluhan hukum mampu meningkatkan pemahaman remaja terhadap norma hukum dan sosial, menumbuhkan kesadaran akan pentingnya perilaku disiplin dan tanggung jawab, serta mendorong terbentuknya sikap preventif terhadap tindakan kenakalan. Dengan demikian, penyuluhan hukum menjadi salah satu strategi efektif dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanggulangan kenakalan remaja melalui pembinaan kesadaran hukum dan penguatan karakter sejak usia dini.

The rapid growth of digital technology and social media has reshaped communication practices, consumer behavior, and marketing approaches, particularly among Generation Z, who are widely recognized as digital natives. For this generation, social media serves as a major channel for obtaining information and exploring product references before making purchase decisions. In this environment, influencer marketing has emerged as a prominent promotional approach because it can foster audience interaction, emotional connection, and trust more effectively than conventional advertising. This study examines the role of influencer marketing in shaping the digital behavior of Generation Z in Indonesia. A qualitative literature review method was employed by analyzing secondary sources drawn from academic journals, books, and related publications. The findings indicate that influencer marketing has a meaningful influence on information-seeking behavior, decision-making processes, and the level of digital engagement among Generation Z. Influencers are commonly viewed as more credible, relatable, and authentic sources of information. Furthermore, the effectiveness of influencer marketing is determined more by credibility, authenticity, and the quality of interaction than by follower count alone. These findings suggest that companies should adopt digital marketing strategies that are more interactive, personalized, and relationship-oriented in order to engage Generation Z more effectively.

This study aims to analyze the use of digital learning media in improving learning outcomes and to examine the impact of social media on adolescents’ behavior in daily life in the digital era. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study (library research) design, conducted through the collection, review, and analysis of various relevant scholarly sources. The findings indicate that digital learning media play an important role in enhancing students’ motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes, as they are able to present material in an interactive, engaging, and easily understandable manner. On the other hand, social media has a dual impact on adolescents’ behavior. Its positive effects include ease of communication, access to information, and the development of creativity, while its negative effects include addiction, decreased learning focus, social comparison that lowers self-esteem, exposure to negative content, and the emergence of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phenomenon, which can affect mental health.  Therefore, the wise use of digital media and proper supervision are necessary to support the improvement of educational quality while also fostering positive character development in adolescents.

Inappropriate complementary feeding (MPASI) practices remain a public health concern, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life, as they contribute to the risk of growth disorders such as stunting. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic factors and maternal decision-making processes with complementary feeding practices based on consumer behavior theory. This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 240 mothers with children aged 6–23 months in the working area of Puskesmas Putat Jaya, Surabaya. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed significant relationships between socioeconomic status and decision-making processes, as well as between decision-making processes and complementary feeding practices (p<0.05). Mothers with higher socioeconomic status tended to have better decision-making processes and more appropriate feeding practices. However, overall practices were not fully aligned with recommended standards. These findings indicate that improving complementary feeding practices requires not only knowledge enhancement but also strengthening maternal decision-making capacity within their socioeconomic context.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penggunaan Instagram terhadap perilaku, identitas sosial, dan gaya hidup Generasi Z. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap empat informan Generasi Z yang aktif menggunakan Instagram, yakni Jay, Kalista, Manda, dan Maria. Selaras dengan empat rumusan masalah yang diajukan—mengenai pola penggunaan, pembentukan identitas, pengaruh terhadap gaya hidup, serta strategi pengelolaan—hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Instagram memberikan pengaruh yang beragam: sebagai sumber informasi dan hiburan utama, sebagai platform pembentukan identitas dan personal branding, serta sebagai media yang memengaruhi gaya hidup meliputi fashion, pilihan makanan, dan destinasi wisata. Temuan juga mengungkapkan bahwa sebagian besar informan mampu mengontrol penggunaan Instagram secara mandiri melalui strategi seperti menonaktifkan akun, menghapus aplikasi sementara, dan memilah konten. Meskipun Instagram memberikan dampak positif seperti perluasan jaringan sosial dan akses informasi, terdapat potensi dampak negatif berupa gangguan aktivitas belajar dan tekanan sosial akibat standar kehidupan yang ditampilkan di platform tersebut. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya literasi digital dan kemampuan manajemen diri dalam penggunaan media sosial, khususnya bagi Generasi Z yang tumbuh bersama teknologi digital.

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.

This study was conducted to examine how social media influences Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) behavior among its users. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach by analyzing and reviewing 20 previous research journals related to FOMO behavior in social media users. The reviewed journals were published. The findings indicate that FOMO behavior is driven by high-intensity social media use, in which increased frequency and duration of use are associated with higher levels of anxiety and fear of missing information and social experiences. Continuous exposure to content and activities shared by other users encourages social comparison, which contributes to increased anxiety, self-dissatisfaction, and difficulties in emotional regulation, particularly among individuals with low self-esteem. These conditions may lead to dependence on social validation and promote increasingly addictive patterns of social media use, which in the long term can reduce self-control and negatively affect psychological well-being. When self-esteem is low and psychological well-being is disrupted, individuals may experience heightened pessimism and an increased risk of engaging in self-harm behaviors. Overall, the findings suggest that self-regulation and self-determination serve as preventive factors against FOMO behavior and its psychological and mental health impacts; therefore, strengthening self-regulation and self-determination is essential to prevent FOMO.

This study aims to analyze the transformation of tourist behavior in mountain hiking activities in the Sindoro, Sumbing, and Slamet (3S) area of Central Java within the context of nature-based tourism trends and digital mediation. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving eight purposively selected hikers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and analysis of social media posts. The findings reveal a shift in motivation from physical challenge-oriented goals toward self-fulfillment, personal reflection, and psychological balance. Mountain hiking has also become normalized as part of an urban modern lifestyle. Furthermore, social media plays a significant role in shaping aspirations, documentation practices, and the reproduction of tourist behavior, extending the experience of nature beyond physical engagement into digital representation. These findings indicate that contemporary tourist behavior is constructed through the interaction of intrinsic motivation, social needs, and the logic of digital representation in nature-based tourism.

Desa Suka Makmur di Kabupaten Pohuwato, Provinsi Gorontalo merupakan wilayah beriklim panas dengan kondisi permukiman yang cenderung gersang akibat minimnya pemanfaatan pekarangan rumah.

The method used in this activity was health education through interactive lectures and discussions, accompanied by a pre-test and post-test evaluation using questionnaires. The materials provided included the definition of ARI, risk factors, and the implementation of CHLB such as proper handwashing, personal hygiene maintenance, and correct coughing and sneezing etiquette. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge after the educational session, with the average score rising from 78% to 88%, indicating an improvement of 10%. This demonstrates that the educational method used was effective in improving students’ understanding of ARI prevention. This activity is expected to foster clean and healthy habits among elementary school students and support promotive and preventive health efforts in the school environment.

The diversity of social media used by teenagers today can influence Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) behavior, a condition where someone feels left out of information, trends, or activities carried out by others. This condition is characterized by fear, anxiety, difficulty controlling the desire to stay connected, and a tendency to compare oneself with others on social media. Teenagers are the group most vulnerable to FoMO due to their high intensity of social media use and their still-developing social needs. This reseach seeks to examine the association between scial media diversity and FoMO behavior among eleventh-grade student at SMAN 4 Tuban. The study employed a quantitative analytic design using a cross-sectional approach. The research population consists of all 11th grade students, totaling 157 respondents, selected using simple random sampling. The instruments used are a social media diversity questionnaire and a FoMO behavior questionnaire. Data analysis uses the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study show a p-value of 0.000, which means p < 0.05, so H1 is accepted. This shows that there is a significant relationship between social media diversity and FoMO behavior in adolescents. The more diverse the social media platforms used, the higher the tendency for adolescents to experience FoMO. Based on these results, it can be concluded that social media diversity influences FoMO behavior among 11th grade students at SMAN 4 Tuban.

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly increased public access to online activities, including online gambling, which has emerged as a serious social problem in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the impact of online gambling on the mental health and social behavior of young people. This research employed a descriptive method with a survey approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to young respondents who had experience or exposure to online gambling activities. The findings indicate that involvement in online gambling has a significant impact on mental health disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. In addition, online gambling contributes to a decline in social interaction quality, increased family conflict, social withdrawal, and reduced productivity. Behavioral changes such as impulsivity and decreased self-control were also identified among respondents. These results demonstrate that online gambling not only affects individuals psychologically but also disrupts social relationships and family harmony. Therefore, comprehensive preventive efforts are needed through digital literacy enhancement, family involvement, and psychological support services to protect young people from the negative consequences of online gambling.

The development of social media has encouraged students to be more active in interacting, sharing information, and establishing relationships online. However, the high intensity of social media use also increases the risk of personal data leakage. This literature study aims to examine the relationship between privacy awareness and students' safe behavior in social media use. The research was conducted by examining various sources, including scientific journals, articles, research reports, books, and online references relevant to digital security issues. The results of the study show that privacy awareness has a significant role in shaping students' safe behavior. This awareness is reflected through the practice of using strong passwords, the implementation of two-factor authentication, and prudence in sharing personal information in the digital space. Although knowledge about digital threats is quite adequate, students' safe behavior is still influenced by the level of internalization of privacy awareness. Therefore, increasing privacy awareness requires not only information, but also educational strategies that emphasize the formation of consistent digital attitudes and habits. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the relationship between privacy awareness and safe behavior, as well as being the basis for the development of more effective digital literacy programs among students.
