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

Scroll, Tap, Repeat: Habitus Digital sebagai Petualangan Identitas dalam Dunia Virtual

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

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

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

Child Marriage in Health Psychology: A Narrative Literature Review

Child marriage is a public health concern that significantly affects the physical, mental, and social well-being of adolescent girls. While prevention strategies often target structural factors, such as poverty and education, they tend to overlook the psychological influences underlying early marriage decisions. This study explored child marriage from a health psychology perspective, using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as the primary analytical framework. A narrative literature review was conducted by analyzing 26 peer-reviewed articles published from 2016 to 2025. The findings revealed that permissive attitudes toward early marriage, strong social pressure, and low perceived behavioral control are key contributors to the persistence of the child marriage phenomenon. The consequences include adolescent pregnancy, childbirth complications, gender-based violence, and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. These insights underscore the importance of TPB-based interventions aimed at reshaping attitudes, challenging social norms, and empowering girls with behavioral control. This review offers a foundation for developing more effective and context-sensitive strategies to prevent child marriage through a health psychology approach

Family Well-being in the Digital Age: A Systematic Review of Social Media Literacy using ADO and TCM Framework

Social media platforms are now inseparable from children as well as parents, making social media literacy a critical skill for maintaining family well-being in the digital age. This analysis explores whether social media literacy genuinely influences family well-being, as reflected in how each family member engages with social media. A systematic literature review was conducted using Antecedents, Decisions, Outcomes (ADO) and Theory, Context, Method (TCM) frameworks analyzing 66 studies. Findings identified five main antecedents: individual and psychological factors, social and family influences, access to media and technology, intervention and empowerment, and cultural and environmental context. These antecedents shape family decisions: responsible digital use, parental mediation, privacy, and the use of social media for education and advocacy, impacting the objective and subjective well-being of the family both positively and negatively. The review highlights theoretical, contextual and methodological gaps including geographical bias towards Western countries, the dominance of cross-sectional studies and limited focus on intergenerational digital literacy
