The acceleration of digitalization in recent years has shaped a new socio-economic landscape in Indonesia. Access to app-based financial services and online entertainment has increased rapidly, but at the same time, illegal online lending and digital gambling, targeting adolescents, have flourished. This paper explores a Community Service intervention model that combines preventative digital literacy and artificial intelligence (AI) optimization within the La Tansa Islamic Boarding School in Palembang. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and written reflection analysis. Findings indicate that strengthening digital literacy based on critical awareness not only improves risk understanding but also deepens self-control integrated with religious values. AI training for educators also encourages changes in learning practices to be more adaptive and reflective of the dynamics of the digital era. This model offers a digital resilience approach that can be replicated in other educational institutions with similar characteristics.

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 research is based on the reality that classroom management often tests teachers' emotional stability, especially when dealing with highly active students. This study focuses on how teachers use emotional intelligence to control themselves when facing challenging learning situations. The purpose of this study is to describe the forms of emotional regulation carried out by teachers and their influence on the effectiveness of classroom management. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through observations and interviews with teachers. The results show that effective emotional management is carried out through several methods, such as increasing self-awareness to recognize stress triggers, pausing before responding to student behavior, and trying to understand the background of student activity through empathy. Teachers with good emotional intelligence tend to be able to direct student activity into more positive learning participation, rather than responding to it with reactive or authoritarian responses. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening psychological aspects and emotional management skills in teacher professional development programs. Emotional maturity not only helps create a more harmonious classroom atmosphere but also forms the basis for inclusive learning interactions and supports the continuous development of student character.

This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy and lifestyle on financial management of students of the Management Study Program at Universitas Pamulang. This research uses a quantitative method with an associative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 160 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, simple and multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that partially financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on financial management with a t-value of 7,161 > t-table 1.975 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, while lifestyle also has a positive and significant effect with a t-value of 6,881 > t-table 1.975 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, financial literacy and lifestyle have a significant effect on financial management with an F-value of 853.671 > F-table 3.05 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination of 0.916 indicates that 91,6% of the variation in students’ financial management is explained by financial literacy and lifestyle, while the remaining 8,4% is influenced by other factors outside this study.

This study aims to analyze and examine the effect of financial literacy and self-control on financial management behavior, with financial attitude as an intervening variable among accounting students at universities in Lamongan. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method through questionnaire distribution via Google Form. The population consisted of accounting students at universities in Lamongan, with a total sample of 232 respondents selected using probability sampling with a simple random sampling technique.

This study aims to analyze the effect of digital financial literacy and economic stress on household financial management quality, with self-control as an intervening variable. This research adopts a quantitative approach using Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to household respondents and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that digital financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on household financial management quality and self-control. In contrast, economic stress does not have a significant effect on either self-control or household financial management quality. Furthermore, self-control does not mediate the relationship between digital financial literacy and economic stress on household financial management quality. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing digital financial literacy to improve household financial management in the digital era.

Financial Literacy is a crucial aspect in supporting the success of a business for young entrepreneurs, especially in preparing financial reports. Financial literacy encompasses knowledge of money management, investment, and financial planning, while self-management encompasses skills such as time discipline, emotional control, and decision-making. "Improving Financial Literacy and Self-Management for Young Entrepreneurs of Polytechnic Students" has successfully achieved its primary objective with significant achievements. The general objective was achieved through a 25-30% increase in financial literacy and self-management scores, enabling students to manage their businesses more effectively and sustainably. Specific objectives were also met: workshops provided basic knowledge, mentoring trained practical skills, and the application of the concept of forming an aware community. Positive impacts were seen in reducing business risks and contributing to the polytechnic's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Positive impacts resulting from this program include reducing business risks and contributing to the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the Polytechnic. This program is expected to become a model that can be applied in other educational institutions to support the development of young entrepreneurs in Indonesia.

The advancement of social media platforms, especially TikTok, has drastically changed the behavioral patterns and lifestyles of Generation Z. One psychological impact of intensive social media use is Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), which is the worry of missing out on news, trends, or viral social activities. This study aims to reveal how FoMO affects the lifestyle of Generation Z active on TikTok, focusing on aspects of mental health, shopping habits, and the balance of social interactions. This research uses a literature study approach with a qualitative descriptive method, through in-depth analysis of 21 scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025. The findings show that FoMO is associated with increased anxiety, depression, personal dissatisfaction, and excessive social media use among Generation Z. Furthermore, FoMO also drives impulsive consumption patterns and purchases triggered by online trends as well as the desire for social approval. On the other hand, internal factors such as self-confidence and self-control ability have proven to reduce the level of FoMO and its negative effects. This study concludes that FoMO is a complex phenomenon that impacts the mental health and lifestyle of Generation Z, thus requiring measures such as increasing digital literacy, strengthening self-control, and using social media wisely to reduce the negative impacts of FoMO in the long term.

Millennials aged 25 to 40 are currently the largest consumer group. Their dynamic lifestyles and social demands make them highly consumptive. The ease of obtaining credit, such as loans and credit cards, through advances in financial technology (FinTech) has further accelerated this trend. Unfortunately, exposure to social media that portrays a consumptive lifestyle encourages many of them to follow trends and buy non-essential items. The lack of financial literacy among young Indonesians often makes them unaware of the consequences of debt, which ultimately erodes the financial independence that is so badly needed in this era. This study aims to prove the relationship between Financial Technology, Lifestyle, and Self-Control that influence Debt Behavior. In addition, it is seen that men and women have different levels of self-control, and this is input for researchers to add gender as a moderating variable in their research. The research method used is a mixed method, more precisely a Sequential Explanatory Design, in which quantitative data is collected and analyzed, then combined with qualitative data to explain or enhance quantitative findings. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with experts, while secondary data was collected from articles and other reference data. The population used was the community in the city of Jakarta. The sample was collected using accidental sampling techniques, and the statistical test tool used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software.

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.

Smoking behavior among adolescents remains a major public health issue due to its high prevalence and potential long-term effects on physical, psychological, and social health. One key factor influencing adolescent behavior is the family environment. A family approach that incorporates effective communication, parental supervision, role modeling, emotional support, and consistent enforcement of rules is believed to significantly impact the prevention and reduction of smoking behavior in adolescents. This study aims to analyze the effect of a family approach on smoking behavior in adolescents. Adolescents who experience open communication, good supervision, and emotional support from their families tend to exhibit stronger self-control and are more likely to resist peer pressure to smoke. The findings suggest that an optimal family approach is crucial in shaping healthy behavior in adolescents and serves as an effective strategy in smoking prevention efforts. This approach not only helps in reducing smoking behavior but also fosters overall well-being by creating a supportive family environment. In conclusion, family involvement plays an essential role in promoting healthier behaviors in adolescents and preventing smoking, contributing significantly to public health improvement

Gross motor development is an essential aspect of early childhood education because it contributes to body coordination, balance, muscle strength, and children’s readiness for physical activities. One of the activities that can be used to stimulate gross motor skills is dancing, particularly regional creative dance. This community service program aims to implement the Janger creative dance as a medium to develop gross motor skills in kindergarten group B children. The method used was evaluative with the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product), involving observation, interviews, and documentation. The activity was carried out once a week through stages of rhythm introduction, basic movements, body coordination, and simple dance sequences. The results showed that more than 80% of the children experienced improvement in aspects of balance, movement coordination, agility, and large muscle control. In addition, the activity also enhanced children's self-confidence, courage, and social interaction. Therefore, the Janger dance is proven to be effective as a gross motor stimulation and is suitable to be used as a culturally based learning strategy in early childhood education.

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial knowledge, financial attitudes, and self-control on personal financial management among students of the Management Study Program at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Kristen Indonesia Toraja, class of 2022. The research uses a quantitative approach, distributing questionnaires to 83 respondents selected through the Slovin formula. The data is analyzed using multiple linear regression, as well as validity, reliability, classical assumption, and hypothesis testing. The results show that financial knowledge has a positive and significant effect on personal financial management, while financial attitudes and self-control do not have a significant partial effect. However, simultaneously, the three independent variables have a significant impact on the students' personal financial management. These findings suggest that students' personal financial management is influenced by a combination of financial understanding, attitudes toward money management, and the ability to control their financial behavior. This indicates the importance of enhancing financial knowledge as a key factor in improving personal financial management among students, while attitudes and self-control need further attention to achieve better financial management.

The evaluation results showed an increase in students' average scores in the aspects of participation, positive attitudes, and courage to speak in front of the class after participating in the training. This activity has proven effective in helping students develop interpersonal communication skills and strengthen self-confidence, as well as having a positive impact on a more supportive learning atmosphere in the elementary school environment.

The rapid development of financial technology has transformed transactional behavior, particularly among Generation Z. Easy access through mobile banking, particularly BCA Mobile, has made financial activities more practical but also poses risks of consumptive behavior due to low financial literacy and self-control. This study aims to analyze the influence of Financial Literacy, Lifestyle, and Locus of control on Financial Behavior, with Financial technology as a moderating variable. The research population consists of Generation Z users of BCA Mobile in Surabaya. A total of 147 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on specific criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings show that Financial Literacy and Locus of control have a significant positive effect on Financial Behavior, while Lifestyle has a significant negative effect. Furthermore, Financial technology is proven to moderate the influence of Financial Literacy and Locus of control on Financial Behavior, but not the relationship between Lifestyle and Financial Behavior.  

This study analyzes the influence of financial knowledge, self-control, and parental income on the financial behavior of students in Semarang, Central Java, with a population consisting of active students and a sample of 305 respondents. This quantitative study utilizes data obtained through Google Forms and analyzed using the Smart PLS 4 method. Measurements were made using a Likert scale from 1 to 5 for each indicator. The findings of this study indicate that financial knowledge and self-control have a significant and positive influence on financial behavior, with path coefficients of 0.417 and 0.303, respectively, and a p-value of 0.000. Parental income also has a significant impact on financial behavior with 90% confidence, although the path coefficient is lower at 0.078 and the p-value is 0.099. Overall, the three independent variables (financial competence, self-control, and parental income) together contribute 60% in explaining the variation in financial behavior. The remaining 40% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. This conclusion emphasizes that internal factors such as knowledge and self-control are very important, but family economic background also plays a role in shaping individual financial habits and decisions.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the intensity of playing the online game Mobile Legends and the consumptive behavior of university students at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban. The research was motivated by the growing phenomenon of digital consumption among students, particularly through virtual item purchases via microtransactions. A quantitative correlational approach was employed, using purposive sampling involving 40 active student players of Mobile Legends. Research instruments consisted of Likert-scale questionnaires measuring two main variables: gaming intensity (frequency and duration) and consumptive behavior (impulsive buying, wastefulness, and non-rational consumption). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test, revealing a positive and significant relationship between gaming intensity and consumptive behavior (r = 0.558; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher gaming intensity increases students’ tendency toward hedonic and symbolic digital consumption. The study highlights that students’ consumptive behavior in the digital era is shaped not only by economic factors but also by social influence, self-control, and emotional gratification. The research implies the need for enhanced digital financial literacy and self-regulation awareness among students to mitigate excessive consumptive behavior.
