This study aims to analyze the effect of social media advertising exposure and digital financial literacy on consumptive behavior, with self-control as a mediating variable among 11th grade high school students in Kotabumi Selatan District. This quantitative study involved 267 respondents from five public and private high schools selected using proportional sampling techniques. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that exposure to social media advertising has a significant positive effect on consumptive behavior, indicating that higher advertising exposure increases students’ tendency toward excessive consumption. However, advertising exposure does not have a significant effect on self-control. Digital financial literacy has a significant positive effect on self-control, but does not directly influence consumptive behavior. Furthermore, self-control has a significant negative effect on consumptive behavior and plays a mediating role in the relationship between digital financial literacy and consumptive behavior. These findings confirm that strengthening digital financial literacy is crucial for improving adolescents’ self-control and reducing consumptive behavior in the digital era.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of affective learning strategies in Akidah Akhlak subjects to enhance students' self-control at MTs Muhammadiyah 02 Purbalingga. Affective learning strategies focus on character development through the inculcation of religious values such as patience, honesty, and discipline, aimed at helping students manage their emotions, thoughts, and behavior in daily life. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with Akidah Akhlak teachers, the principal, and students, as well as classroom observation. Data analysis was conducted using thematic coding to identify patterns in the implementation of affective learning strategies and their impact on students' self-control. The findings indicate that the implementation of affective learning strategies is carried out through five main stages: receiving, responding, valuing, organization, and characterization. Each stage involves structured approaches, such as using inspirational stories from the Qur'an and Hadith, group discussions, value reflections, and case study simulations. These strategies successfully enhanced students' self-control, particularly in emotional regulation, wise decision-making, and consistent behavior aligned with Islamic values. This study concludes that affective learning strategies play a vital role in improving students' self-control. Systematic and collaborative implementation can assist madrasahs in producing a generation that is faithful, knowledgeable, and morally upright, in line with the vision of Islam.

The popularity of the boys love (BL) genre, a key representation of the LGBTQ community, raises concerns about its potential negative impact on social pathology related to LGBTQ behaviors among fans. Despite the stigma labeling BL enthusiasts as exhibiting deviant sexual behavior (homosexuality), early observations and field findings show that most fans are heterosexual and do not exhibit such behavior. Instead, their engagement represents a cumulative effort to support LGBTQ representation. This research uses a qualitative case study approach, conducted on social media X over four months. Key findings suggest that the primary curative efforts by fans to address the social pathology of LGBTQ are self-control and the establishment of self-boundaries. Self-control is demonstrated through cognitive and decision-making control, while self-boundaries are seen in fans' understanding that fictional content should not be translated into heteronormative reality. Strengthening self-control and self-boundaries lays the foundation for further curative actions, preventing fans from becoming fully integrated into the LGBTQ community.
