Nadia Salsabila Luthfa — 2026-06-30

This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and aggression among students at SMKN X in Padang. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design, where the research population consists of 1,109 students spread across seven majors and three grade levels (X, XI, XII). The sample consisted of 164 students from grades XI and XII, selected using cluster sampling technique. Data were collected using three standardized instruments, namely the aggression scale from Buss & Perry (1992), the self-esteem scale adapted by Sari (2009) from Felker, and the emotional intelligence scale based on the theory of Salovey and Goleman (2015). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that self-esteem and emotional intelligence had a significant effect on student aggression, with self-esteem being the more dominant factor. Together, these two variables can explain 86.1% of the variation in student aggression. These findings indicate that increasing healthy self- esteem and emotional intelligence can reduce aggressive behavior among students

Ludia Utamima — 2026-06-30

Workers are a strategic asset that determines the success and competitiveness of for-profit companies. Workers’ psychological well-being is an important factor in sustaining performance. Employees tend to be more adaptive, resilient, and able to cope effectively with work-related pressures. One factor that influences psychological well-being is job satisfaction, which reflects an individual’s positive evaluation of several aspects of their work. This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and psychological well-being among employees in for-profit companies through a systematic literature review (SLR). The review followed PRISMA guidelines and involved the following stages: literature identification, screening, review, synthesis of results, and discussion. The search was conducted using VOSviewer and Publish or Perish across the Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Inclusion criteria were: publications from 2021–2025, use of Ryff’s psychological well-being theory, participants employed in for-profit companies, and quantitative studies with correlational designs. The findings indicate that job satisfaction has a significant positive relationship with psychological well-being. Higher job satisfaction is associated with higher psychological well-being, particularly in the dimensions of environmental mastery and personal growth. These results underscore the importance of job satisfaction as a predictor of employees’ psychological well-being in for-profit companies.

University students are in a developmental phase characterized by increasingly complex academic and social demands, making peer support a crucial factor in their adaptation and psychological well-being. This study aimed to adapt and test the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Peer Support Questionnaire (PSQ) from Alaei and Hosseinnezhad (2020) among university students. The study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional design and included 530 students. The instrument adaptation process was based on a cross-cultural adaptation framework, and construct validity was assessed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The analysis showed that all items had adequate standardized factor loadings (0.70–0.84), and the five-dimensional factor structure demonstrated good model fit across various fit indices. Model fit evaluation showed good results (CFI = 0.959; TLI = 0.953; RMSEA = 0.059; SRMR = 0.030). In addition, the results of the convergent validity and construct reliability tests showed that the AVE values ranged from 0.56 to 0.68, and the Composite Reliability ranged from 0.83 to 0.90. These findings indicate that the Indonesian version of the PSQ meets the recommended psychometric criteria and can be considered a valid and reliable instrument for assessing peer support among university students in Indonesia

Krisnova Nastasia — 2026-06-30

Entrepreneurship has become one of the primary strategies for promoting economic growth, reducing graduate unemployment, and fostering innovation in developing countries. Nevertheless, many university graduates continue to prefer salaried employment over entrepreneurial careers. Entrepreneurial intention has been widely recognized as the most reliable predictor of entrepreneurial behavior, yet empirical evidence concerning the combined influence of psychological and social determinants among Indonesian university students remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effects of self-efficacy, proactive personality, and social support on entrepreneurial intention among management students enrolled at private universities in Padang City. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 219 respondents selected using cluster sampling techniques. Data were collected through standardized Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 23 after satisfying classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that self-efficacy, proactive personality, and social support positively and significantly influence entrepreneurial intention both individually and simultaneously. The regression model explains 34.4% of the variance in entrepreneurial intention. Self-efficacy emerged as the strongest predictor, followed by social support and proactive personality. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening students' entrepreneurial confidence, proactive characteristics, and supportive social environments through entrepreneurship education. This study contributes empirical evidence supporting the integration of psychological and social dimensions into entrepreneurship development programs within higher education institutions.

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is one part of the results of student learning achievement. For scholarship recipients with certain minimum requirements on GPA. Maintaining a GPA is certainly not easy for students and often encounter many challenges, especially in self-regulated learning and metacognition. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-regulated learning and metacognition in students receiving academic achievement scholarships. The research method used in this study was quantitative with a correlational research type. Participants in this study were 123 students receiving academic achievement scholarships at Satya Wacana Christian University Salatiga, participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique . The data analysis method used for the correlation test in this study used Spearman's Rho . The results of this study showed a positive relationship between self-regulated learning and metacognition with a Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient value of 0.634 and a significance of 0.000. This indicates that the higher the self-regulated learning ability of an individual, the higher the metacognition of the individual. This research has significant implications, particularly for students receiving academic achievement scholarships, for improving their metacognition by enhancing self-regulated learning . This suggests that students receiving academic achievement scholarships need to focus on self-regulation in learning, evaluate their learning process, and maintain self-motivation. The effective contribution of self-regulated learning to metacognition in students receiving academic achievement scholarships is 40.2%.
