Fraction Understanding in Children: Bibliometric Analysis

This study used a bibliometric analysis approach to investigate the literature on children’s development of fraction understanding. Fraction understanding is crucial in early mathematics education because it is the foundation for more advanced concepts. Bibliometric analysis gives a comprehensive data-driven assessment of research trends, significant contributors, and emerging themes in this field. The data were sourced from the Scopus journal database, encompassing 228 articles from 1975 to 2023. Analytical and visualization tools, including VOS Viewer and the Bibliometrix R-Package, were utilized to map connections among journals, authors, countries/regions, and keywords. The findings indicated a trend of increasing publication volume over the past 15 years, with a yearly growth in articles on this topic. Keyword analysis revealed that, within these publications, “fraction” was the most frequently encountered term, followed by “mathematics” and “decimals”. Moreover, there has been a shift in research focus from studying the challenges in conceptual understanding of fractions among children to investigating alternative interventions designed to address these challenges. This study is a foundational reference for future research on the progression of fraction understanding in children

Pencitraan Otak Dengan Diffusion Tensor Imaging Dalam Riset Psikologi Menggunakan Tract Based Spatial Statistics

White matter otak memainkan peran sentral dalam menjembatani komunikasi antar bagian otak, yang secara langsung berkontribusi pada berbagai fungsi kognitif dan perilaku. Dalam konteks penelitian psikologi, perhatian terhadap struktur dan integritas white matter meningkat seiring dengan ditemukannya hubungan antara konektivitas saraf dan performa kognitif. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), sebagai salah satu teknik pencitraan berbasis Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) yang bersifat non-invasif, memungkinkan peneliti mengeksplorasi struktur white matter secara lebih rinci melalui parameter seperti fraksi anisotropi (FA). Salah satu metode analisis data DTI yang banyak digunakan adalah Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS), yang memungkinkan perbandingan spasial antar individu secara sistematis dan objektif. Meskipun DTI dan TBSS telah banyak diaplikasikan dalam studi psikologi di tingkat global, literatur berbahasa Indonesia yang membahas penerapan teknik ini dalam riset psikologi masih sangat terbatas. Artikel ini bertujuan mengisi kekosongan tersebut dengan memberikan tinjauan konseptual mengenai prinsip dasar MRI dan DTI, perbedaan DTI dari MRI konvensional, serta peran TBSS dalam menganalisis data DTI untuk memahami fenomena psikologis yang berkaitan dengan integritas white matter

Models of Workplace Well-Being in Sandwich Generation Female Leaders: A Literature Review and Research Proposal

Female leaders from the sandwich generation face challenges not only in the workplace but also in their domestic roles. They have multiple roles simultaneously, such as being parents and children, each with different role demands. This study aimed to review the literature on wellbeing at work and evaluate the extent to which the literature on this topic covers the issue related to female leaders of the sandwich generation. The literature reviewed in this research was articles published in accredited and reputable journals, using quantitative and qualitative research methods, as well as research within the organizational scope. The study found several variables that were positively related to wellbeing at work, including personality type, resilience, work-life balance, perceived organizational support, social support, coping strategies, organizational culture, and cognitive flexibility. The findings indicate that work-life balance is often positioned as a key factor directly influencing wellbeing. However, many studies also highlight its role as a mediator in the relationship between both internal and external predictors and wellbeing. Given the importance of work-life balance for female leaders in the sandwich generation, the researchers proposed a model that emphasizes factors receiving less attention in workplace well-being research but are critical for this group. Specifically, the researchers suggested that cognitive flexibility and creative adaptability are important internal factors, while perceived organizational support is a key external factor affecting the wellbeing of sandwich generation female leaders. In this model, work-life balance mediates the influence of these factors on wellbeing

Transformasi digital telah membentuk ulang cara individu membangun identitas dan menjalin relasi sosial di ruang virtual. Melalui kajian pustaka interdisipliner yang mencakup sosiologi, psikologi media, dan studi digital, artikel ini menelaah bagaimana kebiasaan, nilai, dan norma digital membentuk habitus baru dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Tiga isu utama dianalisis secara kritis: dilema antara anonimitas dan autentisitas dalam interaksi daring, algoritmisasi informasi dalam filter bubble yang memengaruhi konstruksi identitas, serta perbedaan habitus digital antargenerasi dalam menyikapi teknologi. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa habitus digital bukan sekadar hasil adaptasi terhadap teknologi, melainkan medan kontestasi antara struktur digital dan agensi individu. Implikasinya, pemahaman yang lebih reflektif terhadap habitus digital menjadi penting untuk mengantisipasi dampak jangka panjang teknologi terhadap ekspresi diri, akses informasi, dan kualitas hubungan sosial

Tinjauan Sistematis: Gambaran Quarter-life Crisis, Dampak, serta Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhinya

Quarter-life crisis (QLC) bertindak sebagai faktor risiko tambahan bagi emerging adult yang rentan mengalami permasalahan psikologis. Penelitian seputar QLC masih relatif baru, dan tinjauan sistematis ini bertujuan untuk membahas perkembangan penelitian QLC. Melalui sintesis artikel terpilih (N = 7), ditemukan bahwa jalur dari QLC terdiri dari lima fase yang mungkin dilalui, namun urutannya akan amat bergantung pada situasi dan kondisi yang dimiliki. QLC memiliki dampak negatif berupa pengalaman emosional negatif, khususnya terkait indikasi depresi yang tinggi dan rendahnya tingkat kesejahteraan. Dampak negatif tersebut terjadi pada kelima fase QLC, dan mengalami puncaknya pada fase yang disebut locked-out. Tinjauan ini juga menemukan bahwa budaya berperan dalam menentukan ekspektasi atau tuntutan sosial seperti apa yang menjadi sumber tekanan dari QLC. Penelitian ke depannya dapat mempertimbangkan untuk meneliti lebih lanjut seputar dampak dari tidak terselesaikannya QLC pada tahapan perkembangan berikutnya, faktor-faktor protektif, serta pengembangan alat ukur QLC

Loneliness and Suicidal Behavior: A Meta-Analysis

Loneliness is an emotional condition that humans experience as social beings, which can be felt physically and psychologically. Loneliness can have a negative impact on mental health, e.g., causing a sense of isolation, stress, depression, and the development of suicidal tendencies. Several studies have shown variations in the correlation results between loneliness and suicidal behavior. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between loneliness and suicidal behavior across 19 studies (2015–2024) through a meta-analysis. This study used two artifacts, namely sampling and measurement errors. The results of the meta-analysis based on sampling error resulted in a correlation of 0.45, and a correlation of 0.51 was found when accounting for measurement error. The magnitude of the correlation indicates a moderate relationship. Positive correlation results suggest that loneliness can contribute to the emergence of suicidal behavior

A Scoping Review of Risk Factors for Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators in Indonesia

Intimate partners are reported by the National Commission on Violence Against Women to be the primary perpetrators of sexual violence. However, the government has limited its perpetrator-focused intervention to enforcing the law. Meanwhile, there has been a growing interest in understanding Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) ecologically and developing interventions that go beyond punishing the perpetrators. This systematic literature review aimed to explore the risk factors of IPV perpetrators in Indonesia. There were 3309 articles generated from databases. Five articles were included, and the result confirms the scarcity of Indonesian papers on: (1) the usage of the IPV term; (2) the exploration of IPV perpetrator risk factors; and (3) the poor quality of existing research on IPV. It is evident within the five articles that individual and societal risk factors are interconnected in Indonesia. Recommendations are threefold: (1) researchers are recommended to employ the term IPV, include couples despite their marital status, and explore risk factors of IPV perpetrators; (2) clinicians are suggested to adopt the ecological framework and collaborate with government and non-government institutions to advocate the importance of perpetrator-focused interventions; (3) institutions are suggested to design preventive measures according to the ecological model
