Development of a Psychological Measurement: Synectic Thinking Style Scale for Indonesian Students
Indonesia is a “space of imagination” rich in metaphorical and analogical traditions rich in symbols, allusions, and narratives, such as folktales, pantun, proverbs, wayang puppetry, and various forms of traditional Indonesian art. However, this space of imagination has not yet flowed into classrooms, thus stimulating students’ thinking styles. Furthermore, valid, reliable, and theory-based instruments are still very limited. Measuring synectic thinking styles that strive to create a creative, innovative, and globally competitive generation will only be policy rhetoric. This article aims to develop and validate a synectic thinking style measurement instrument designed to assess students’ engagement in metaphorical and creative thinking processes. This instrument is based on the synectic thinking style construct with two main theoretical dimensions by Gordon, making the strange familiar – which is understanding something unfamiliar through an existing knowledge framework – and making the familiar strange which is seeing something familiar from a new perspective. Data were collected online through a convenience sampling technique from 1,252 respondents, and after cleaning outliers, 607 responses were retained for analysis. Validity tests using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed a stable factor structure and met the goodness of fit criteria. The Rasch Model analysis supported high reliability and fulfilled the assumptions of local independence. Although several items were found to have similar content or sound, and the need for refinement of the distribution of item difficulty levels, this instrument was deemed suitable for use as an initial measurement of synectic thinking style as a result of a particular learning model. Further research is recommended for the development of adaptive and cross-context versions

Self-Regulation and Mobile Phone Involvement Among Islamic University Students
As Generation Z, born digital natives, students these days seem inseparable from their phones, even in the classroom. To some extent, this is certainly distracting. This study investigates the relationship between self-regulation and mobile phone involvement among Islamic university students. The rapid proliferation of mobile phone and mobile phone involvement among students has raised concerns about its psychosocial, academic, and spiritual consequences, particularly regarding the effectiveness of religious values as an internal control mechanism. Therefore, this research focuses on whether self-regulation influences mobile phone involvement in this population. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 446 Islamic University Students as participants. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression. Results indicate that the relationship between self-regulation and mobile phone involvement is not statistically significant. These findings suggest that self-regulation does not significantly affect the level of mobile phone involvement among Islamic University Students. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic psychology and education and recommends interventions rooted in contextual religious values to enhance Islamic University Students’ self-control capacities in the digital age.

Implementation of Smart Discrimination Training to Improve Discrimination Skills in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism is a severe neurobiological developmental disorder appearing before age three, with deficits in communication and social interaction that often persist without intervention. Discrimination Training (DT), vital for children with ASD, involves distinguishing instructions, concepts, and objects. Conventional DT presents multiple stimuli simultaneously, which can confuse children and cause unstable responses. This study introduces Smart Discrimination Training (Smart DT) and tests its effectiveness in two types of children with ASD using a developmental, single-subject experimental design. Data show that both types of children with ASD, who previously had difficulty with discrimination, improved and maintained their skills. Smart DT proves effective as a structured training method for more complex discrimination tasks in children with ASD.

Psychometric Properties of the Iranian Religious Coping Scale in the Indonesian Context: Validation and Adaptation
In the last decade, Indonesia has experienced a remarkable surge in the development of religiosity assessment tools; nevertheless, validated scales specifically designed to measure religious coping continue to be conspicuously scarce. This study examined the construct validity of the Iranian Religious Coping Scale (IRCS) adapted for Indonesian Muslim university students. Religious coping is a belief-based cognitive–behavioral strategy that has been shown to support stress management and psychological well-being. Following a rigorous translation and cultural adaptation process, the IRCS was translated into Bahasa Indonesia, back-translated, reviewed by experts, and tested for readability with ten students. The final instrument consisted of 22 items across five dimensions: Religious Practice, Negative Feelings toward God, Benevolent Reappraisal, Passive Religious Coping, and Active Religious Coping. Data were collected from 804 university students (Mean age = 21.23 ± 3.73 years; 65.7% female) through an online survey. Construct validity was tested using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in JASP. All items showed significant factor loadings on their respective dimensions (λ = .425–.940, p < .001). The model demonstrated good fit (CFI = .957; TLI = .950; RMSEA = .049; SRMR = .035), supporting the five-factor structure. The Negative Feelings toward God dimension showed the strongest loadings, while Benevolent Reappraisal demonstrated moderate but acceptable values. Overall, the Indonesian version of the IRCS exhibited satisfactory construct validity and cultural appropriateness. The scale is suitable for use in psychological research and practice in Indonesia to assess religious coping strategies. Future studies should involve more diverse populations to enhance the generalizability of the findings.

The Influence of Hedonic Shopping Motivation and Self-Control on the Impulsive Buying Tendency
The increasing trend of Shopee PayLater usage, particularly among college students who do not have an income, warrants attention as many use it for recreational purposes without sufficient self-control, thus increasing the tendency for impulsive buying that can lead to uncontrolled financial burdens. This study has a hypothesis that hedonic shopping motivation and self-control have a significant influence on impulsive purchasing tendencies among Shopee PayLater users. The participants consisted of 141 college students aged 18–25 who actively use SPayLater. Multiple regression analysis showed that both hedonic shopping motivation (β = .20, 95% CI [.09, .31]) and self-control (β = -.57, 95% CI [-.68, -.44]) significantly influence impulsive buying tendency. The higher the hedonic motivation and the lower the self-control, the higher the tendency for impulsive buying (Impulsive Buying Tendency = 4.41 + .20 (Hedonic Motivation) – .57 (Self-Control). This study contributes to consumer psychology literature regarding the use of pay later services and provides insights to the public on the importance of managing emotional impulses and enhancing self-control.

Preliminary Study of Human Performance and Neuroscience in Indonesia
Effective work performance is driven by motivation, emotional regulation, and the ability to build social relationships, which collectively influence professional outcomes. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) offers an objective measure of brain activity related to these factors, providing insights into the neural mechanisms underlying workplace behavior. This study is an exploratory pilot investigation of associations between quantitative EEG (qEEG) parameters at left DLPFC (Fp1) and workplace-relevant functions (emotional regulation, motivation, social relations) assessed with selected MMPI-180 subscales. Brain activity was recorded at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Fp1), focusing on Theta, Alpha, and Beta power. Data were collected from 68 employees in Indonesia over two months and analyzed using linear regression in SPSS 23. Results showed that Beta power at Fp1 significantly predicted emotional regulation (B = 6.85, p = .04, R² = 6.4%), Alpha power at Fp1 predicted motivation (B = 6.02, p = .048, R² = 5.8%), and Theta power at Fp1 predicted social relationship skills (B = 14.15, p = .006, R² = 16.3%). These findings provide empirical evidence that specific brainwave activities are linked to different aspects of workplace performance. The contribution of this study lies in demonstrating the applicability of qEEG as an objective tool to evaluate employee performance, offering new insights for neuroscience-based organizational interventions in the Indonesian context.

Innovative Work Behavior in Start-Ups: Mediation and Moderation Analysis of Job Insecurity, Transformational Leadership, and Subjective Well-Being
Amid unstable funding and high rates of business failure, Indonesia’s start-up ecosystem increasingly depends on employees’ innovative work behavior. Yet, the psychological mechanisms that drive such behavior remain underexplored in start-up-focused research. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect relationships between subjective well-being, job insecurity, and transformational leadership on innovative work behavior among start-up employees in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 421 start-up employees. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with a disjoint two-stage approach to address the hierarchical construct structure. The results indicate that job insecurity does not have a direct effect on innovative work behavior, whereas transformational leadership shows a significant direct effect. Additionally, subjective well-being serves as a mediator in the relationship between both job insecurity and transformational leadership with innovative work behavior. However, transformational leadership does not moderate the relationship between job insecurity and innovative work behavior. The findings suggest that organizations should develop policies or interventions that strengthen subjective well-being and transformational leadership as strategic efforts to enhance innovative work behavior among employees in start-up environments.

Validation of the Instagram Usage, Behavior, and Emotional Reactions Questionnaire (IUBERQ) with an Indonesian Student Sample: A Rasch Model Approach
Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, especially among teenagers and young adults, allowing users to share visual content and interact socially online (Ting, 2014). As the psychological and behavioral impacts of Instagram use increase, it is important to assess not only its frequency, but also the behavior and emotional responses that accompany it through valid and reliable measurement tools such as the Instagram Usage, Behavior, and Emotional Reactions Questionnaire (IUBERQ) (Paramboukis et al., 2016). This study aims to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Indonesian version of the Instagram Usage, Behavior, and Emotional Reactions Questionnaire (IUBERQ) instrument using the Rasch Rating Scale model approach. The population in this study were Muslim women who wear the hijab. The characteristics of the population used were female students of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta aged 17-25 years. Respondents actively use Instagram social media accounts. The selection of this age is in accordance with the developmental stages from late adolescence to early adulthood to Hurlock (1999). The sample in this study amounted to 335 people. The results of the analysis using the Rasch Rating Scale Model show that the psychometric characteristics of the IUBERQ in the Indonesian version have a good level of precision and good item suitability to the model. These findings support the use of IUBERQ as a reliable instrument in measuring aspects of Instagram use. Theoretical and practical implications and recommendations for further research are also discussed

Student Mental Health and Psychological Supports at Pondok Pesantren: A Mixed-Method Case Study
The demand for mental health supports for students in the educational system is growing. As a distinct Islamic educational institution where students stay full-time in one community, Pondok Pesantren needs to provide supportive environment for students since their home life is separate and less supportive. Differences in background and adaptability can result in some students experiencing difficulties, feeling anxious, afraid, uncomfortable, isolated, and even deciding to move. It is essential to know the mental health condition of the students to identify early warning signs of mental health problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mental health of students in Pondok Pesantren Darunnajah, factors contributing to their mental health, and their coping methods in maintaining mental health. It used mixed method design, combining The Strength and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ Goodman) for quantitative data and interviews for qualitative insights. The questionnaire was conducted to 160 students, age 12-18 years old, using stratified sampling based on gender and class. 16 students and teachers were selected using purposeful sampling techniques and interviewed. The research found that the majority of student (79.4%) were classified as normal, 19.4% borderline, and 1.3% needing assistance. Peer problems had the lowest average value (2.46). Male students are higher on hyperactivity (5.39), while emotional difficulties are more common in female (4.40). There are five factors contributing the mental health; students’ adaptability, social skill, family support, teacher support, and religious belief. They maintained their mental health by having friends, enjoying lives and activities in Pondok Pesantren, also by enhancing religious beliefs and performing religious activities. The findings highlight the importance of providing psychological supports based on gender and class as well as integrating religious belief and social supports in promoting mental health within Pondok Pesantren.

Family Resilience Model of Early Marriage Couples in Preventing Domestic Violence and Child Violence
Early marriage is linked to high stress due to the developmental immaturity of young couples, which hinders conflict resolution and future planning. This often leads to divorce and, when combined with parenting stress, may increase the risk of domestic violence and child abuse. The Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) of Central Sulawesi Province in 2023 recorded 144 cases of violence against women and children. This study aims to determine the Family Quality Index (FQI) in early married couples and analyze the effect of individual resilience on family resilience, by predicting it through parenting stress. This type of research is a quantitative analytic survey with SEMPLS analysis. The research sample was 210 early married couples who have children, who directly care for children, selected using probability proportionate size technique. The results of the Family Quality Index research of early marriage couples show that the quality dimension of structural legality is in the very high category, the socio-cultural quality dimension is in the medium category, while the dimensions of physical, economic and socio-psychological resilience are in the very low category, while the results of SEMPLS analysis show that there is a positive and significant effect of husband's resilience and wife's resilience on parenting stress, as well as parenting stress on family resilience, but there is no positive and significant effect of husband's resilience or wife's resilience on family resilience. These results suggest that the relationship between individual resilience and family resilience is fully mediated by parenting stress. The family resilience model shows valid and reliable results and a fit model. Conclusions: The findings confirm the important role of parenting stress as a mediator in the relationship between individual resilience and family resilience in early marriage couples. The model developed is not only valid and reliable, but can also be the basis for family-based interventions. The urgency of strengthening integrated premarital counseling services for adolescents to improve parenting role readiness and prevent the risk of family violence is emphasized.

Work Family Conflict On Dual Earner Families: Influence of Economic Pressure, Husband-Wife Interaction, Family Resilience
Globalization and socio-economic changes have led to an increase in the number of dual-earner families. Jobs that were previously dominated by men are now increasingly being done by women, making the phenomenon of women working commonplace. However, this condition often leads to work-family conflict due to the imbalance of roles at work and home. Family work conflict is an imbalance between work and family that refers to how the relationship between work and family is mutually disrupted. This study analyzes the influence of economic pressure, husband-wife interaction, and family resilience on work conflict in dual-earner families. The research used a quantitative method with an explanatory study design, involving direct interviews with 103 working wives, who were selected by purposive sampling in two places in West Bogor Sub-district, Pasir Jaya Village and Gunung Batu Village. Data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS, while the influence between variables was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings show that economic pressure significantly influences work conflict, where higher pressure increases conflict intensity. In contrast, good husband-wife interaction and high family resilience were shown to reduce work-family conflict effectively. Based on the research, dual-earner families are advised to improve time management, set priorities, and maintain regular communication to strengthen family harmony and resilience.
Organizational Learning Culture and Work Engagement: A Moderated Mediation Model of Abusive Supervision and Employee Resilience
The organizational learning culture is crucial for enhancing overall performance and fostering employee engagement. By promoting a culture of learning, organizations can generate positive emotions among employees, which helps build resilience. However, abusive supervision from management can undermine this resilience, decreasing employee involvement in their work. This study focuses on the impact of organizational learning culture on work engagement, exploring how this relationship is influenced by abusive supervision and mediated by employee resilience. Data were collected from 206 employees across various public and private sectors in Indonesia. The research hypothesis was tested using models 4 and 7 from the Hayes macro-PROCESS. The results indicate a strong positive impact of organizational learning culture (β = .6; p < .001), with employee resilience serving as a mediator in this relationship (β = .16; 95% CI = [.08, .24]). Additionally, abusive supervision weakens the mediation effect (β = -.04; 95% CI = [-.111, -.002]). These findings hold significant implications for managers and HR professionals, emphasizing the importance of cultivating an organizational learning culture to enhance employee resilience, better equip employees to navigate competitive markets and maintain high levels of employee engagement.
Peer Comparison for Improving Senior High School Students’ Achievement Motivation
The desire for achievement creates motivation within the individual, where achievement motivation comes because of the need for achievement, which includes the desire to achieve success, complete difficult tasks, face challenges, and the desire to exceed others. This research aims to investigate whether peer comparison will affect achievement motivation as a manifestation of their need for achievement. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design with two groups pre-test and post-test. A purposive sampling technique was utilized in this study, with the criteria of female and male senior high school students aged between 15-18 years old who have low scores in achievement motivation. Participants in the experimental group will receive daily reports containing learning evaluations including the full scores and list of top ten students with the highest scores for six days. Achievement motivation was measured using the achievement motivation scale by Prihandrijani. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test which was carried out after being given treatment, it was found that there was a significant difference in the subject's pre-test and post-test scores on the experimental group's achievement motivation with a value of p < .05. While in the control group, there was no significant difference seen from the value of p > .05. On the results of the Mann-Whitney test to see differences in achievement motivation in the experimental group and the control group, the value of p < .05 was obtained so that it can be concluded that giving treatment in the form of peer comparisons can influence individual achievement needs. This study result provides a new contribution to research related to achievement motivation and peer comparison which has been carried out using cross-sectional or observational methods.

The Effect of Pet Attachment, Self-Compassion, and Social Constraint on Pet Bereavement
Pets play a significant role in their owners' lives. Psychological studies have found that pet loss is one of the contributing factors to depression. The grieving response experienced by pet owners following the loss of their pets is referred to as pet bereavement. This study aims to examine the influence of pet attachment, self-compassion, and social constraint on pet bereavement. This research employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 250 individuals who have experienced pet loss and reside in Indonesia. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling. The Pet Bereavement Questionnaire (PBQ) developed by Hunt & Padilla (2006) was used to measure pet bereavement, the Lexington Attachment to Pet Scale (LAPS) developed by Johnson et al. (1992) was used to assess pet attachment. Self-compassion was measured using the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) developed by Neff (2003), and social constraint was assessed using the Social Constraint Scale developed by Lepore et al. (1996). Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression analysis. The regression test results showed an R-squared value of .727, indicating that pet attachment, self-compassion, and social constraint significantly influence pet bereavement, accounting for 72.7% of the variance. The significance test results revealed that three variables had a significant impact on pet bereavement: general attachment (p < .05), people substituting (p < .05), and gender (p < .05). Based on these findings, it is recommended that pet owners develop a healthy attachment to their pets and engage with animal lover communities to receive social support during times of loss.
Mindfulness: Embrace Mental Well-Being with A Healthy Perception of Stress
Prioritising mental well-being in the workplace helps promote a productive and healthy working environment. Stress is one of the main determinants of mental well-being in employees. Stress caused by daily challenges at work will impact mental well-being. In modern times, there is an increasing acceptance of stressful conditions and mental health issues. Mindfulness is one of the ways to improve mental well-being and buffer stress in employees. This study examines the effect of mindfulness on mental well-being by considering the mediating role of perceived stress in employees working on a shift system. This study is motivated by the high risk of mental health disorders in shift workers due to irregular work patterns, high workload, and lack of recovery time. This study used three psychological instruments: the mindfulness scale (FFMQ), the perceived stress scale (PSS), and the mental well-being scale (WEMWBS), including 540 respondents from company X in Medan City, and using the SEM-PLS 4.0 method. The results showed that mindfulness significantly improved mental well-being (β=.388, p<.005) and reduced perceived stress (β=-.493, p<.005), whereas perceived stress was shown to decrease mental well-being (β=-.174, p<.05). The crucial finding showed that perceived stress was a partial mediator (β=.086, p<.05). Theoretically, this study enriches the literature by confirming the mediating mechanism of perceived stress within the framework of mindfulness and mental well-being, particularly in the underrepresented population of shift workers in previous studies. In practical terms, the results suggest three programme modifications that companies can implement: (1) a corporate well-being programme that includes mental health interventions specifically for shift workers, (2) a mobile application with brief interventions for stress management during shifts, and (3) a shift rotation system tailored to workers' natural productive time tendencies (chronotype).
The Role of Career Plateau as a Mediating Variable between Work Ethics and Organizational Commitment of Administrative Staff at One of Regional Hospitals in Jakarta
Organizational commitment is an important factor in determining whether someone will be actively involved in carrying out their work duties and also helps determine the achievement of the organization. However, not all employees of the organization have high organizational commitment, including administrative staff at the Regional General Hospital (RSUD). This study aims to see the organizational commitment influenced by the career plateau and work ethic of administrative staff at one of the RSUDs in the Jakarta area. This study uses a quantitative approach with 62 participants (n = 62) and data analysis techniques using mediator regression analysis. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire accessed via the google form link. This study was conducted at one of the RSUDs in the Jakarta area. The results of the analysis show that work ethic has a more dominant direct effect on the organizational commitment of administrative staff at the RSUD (β = .271), rather than its indirect effect through career plateau (β = .089). This shows that work ethic has a more consistent impact on the loyalty of administrative staff at the RSUD.
Psychometric Properties of the Indonesian Version of Religious Orientation Scale in Muslim Adolescents Sample
This study aimed to validate the Indonesian version of the Religious Orientation Scale (ROS-I), an adaptation of Allport and Ross’s (1967) measure of intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation, using the Rasch model analysis. ROS-I, which consists of two subscales: Intrinsic Religious Orientation (IRO) and Extrinsic Religious Orientation (ERO) was tested to 410 Muslim adolescents from the Greater Jakarta area using online questionnaire. The psychometric evaluation showed that the ROS-I had good index of person and item separation, unidimensional construct, local independence, good item fit index, and good distributions for its rating scales. Therefore, the ROS-I has generally proven to be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating two aspects of religious orientation in Indonesian Muslim adolescents. However, this study restriction to Muslim adolescents’ population may limit its generalizability that calls for broader and more diverse population for future research. Nevertheless, the validated ROS-I offers a useful assessment of religious orientation in Indonesia and similar cultural settings.
Father Involvement, Drinking to Cope, Coping Strategies, and Perceived Stress: A Correlational Study of University Students in Jakarta
The high levels of stress and the use of maladaptive coping mechanisms, including alcohol consumption among students, indicate the need for efforts to understand protective factors that can strengthen psychological resilience. One factor that potentially plays a significant role is father involvement in young adult life. This study aims to explore the relationship between father involvement and three indicators of student mental health: perceived stress levels, adaptive coping strategies, and maladaptive coping through alcohol consumption. This research uses a quantitative approach with an exploratory correlational design. A total of 267 college students in Jakarta participated as respondents by filling out a self-report questionnaire. The measurement tools used in this study are the Father Involvement Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Coping Stress Scale, and the Drinking Motive Questionnaire-Revised (DMQR). The analysis was conducted to identify patterns of relationships between variables without assuming a cause-and-effect relationship. The research findings indicate that father involvement is negatively correlated with stress levels and coping through alcohol consumption and positively correlated with adaptive coping strategies. Moreover, elevated stress levels correlate positively with the utilisation of alcohol as a coping strategy. This finding confirms that fatherly involvement plays an important role as a protective factor against stress and maladaptive coping behaviours in college students. As an exploratory study, these results provide a foundation for further research to test a deeper causal model related to the role of family support on students' mental health.
To Stay or to Leave? How Ethical Climates and Leadership Styles Influence Gen Z Turnover Intention
Generation Z values inclusive and supportive workplaces but often exhibits high turnover intention. This study examines how transformational and servant leadership influence turnover intention among Gen Z employees in Indonesia, with caring and self-interest ethical climates as mediators. A cross-sectional survey of 314 Gen Z employees was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results show that caring ethical climate did not significantly relate to turnover intention or mediate the leadership–turnover link. In contrast, self-interest ethical climate showed a strong positive relationship with turnover intention and served as a significant mediator. These findings indicate that servant leadership is more effective than transformational leadership in reducing Gen Z turnover intention by diminishing self-interest ethical climate, while caring ethical climate may have limited relevance across generations.
How Does Impostor Phenomenon Relate to Job Performance?
Impostor phenomenon is a psychological condition experienced by individuals who are competent in their field but feels insecure about their abilities. Individuals with impostor phenomenon have low career struggles, making it difficult to get into leadership positions. Research related to the performance of individuals with impostor phenomenon is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to conduct further research regarding the performance of professional workers with impostor phenomenon on three performance variables, namely task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behavior. A total of 146 valid responses were obtained through four self-report instruments, the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire, the Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory, the Perceived Supervisory Support Scale, and the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale. The respondents included 71 participants with high impostor phenomenon and 75 with low impostor phenomenon. After conducting correlation analysis, this study shows that there are differences in performance between the high and low impostor phenomenon groups. The high impostor phenomenon group tends to have higher job performance score, but with higher counterproductive work behavior. Meanwhile, the low impostor phenomenon group has higher task performance with better quality results. We also found that perfectionism and perceived supervisor support have a significant correlation with the performance of the high impostor phenomenon group. In order to provide more comprehensive understanding, this study also includes discussions and suggestions regarding research variables.

Religious Moderation of Indonesian Muslim Adolescents
In Indonesia's diverse society, tensions and conflicts among various groups of religions often disrupt social harmony. Therefore, it emerges the concept of religious moderation which is currently adopted as a national policy in Indonesia to counter intolerance and radicalism. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing religious moderation in Indonesian Muslim adolescents. The instruments used in this study are the modified Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), the Indonesian version of the Muslim Daily Religiosity Assessment Scale (MUDRAS), and the Religious Moderation Scale. The religious moderation instrument consists of three dimensions: national commitment, anti-violence, and accommodation of local culture. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to test construct validity. Using multiple linear regression we evaluate the effect of religiosity and parenting style on religious moderation. The sample of this study was 339 Indonesian Muslim late adolescents aged 17-22 years old from 22 provinces in Indonesia. The results showed that parenting styles and religiosity are significant predictors that positively influence religious moderation, both simultaneously and partially. The findings of this study suggest that parenting style and religiosity are the factors influencing religious moderation of Indonesian Muslim late adolescents. The findings of this study further emphasize the importance of the family's role in shaping adolescents' attitudes toward religion.

Work-Family Interface, Workplace Well-Being and Psychological Detachment on Work from Home System
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted employees in numerous ways, notably through the shift to work-from-home (WFH) arrangements. This transition has disrupted employees’ workplace well-being (WWB), with blurred boundaries between family and work life becoming more common. The challenge of balancing work and family demands under WFH conditions is referred to as the work-family interface (WFI). This study explores the effect of WFI on WWB and examines whether psychological detachment—defined as a recovery experience that allows individuals to mentally disengage from work to restore personal resources—moderates this relationship. The implementation of WFH during COVID-19 pandemic has posed a challenge of balancing the interaction between work and family or can be known as work-family interface (WFI). Psychological detachment as a form of recovery experience to replenish an individual's resource is assumed to moderate the relationship between WFI and WWB. So this study aims to look at the impact from WFI to WWB and also the moderation effect of psychological detachment. The study was conducted on 143 employees using convenience sampling, a non-probability sampling method. The instruments utilized in this study are the Work Family Interface from the Work-Family Interface Scale, with a reliability score of α = .728; the Workplace Well-being from the Workplace Well-being Questionnaire, with a reliability score of α = .893; and the Psychological Detachment from the Recovery Experience Questionnaire, with a reliability score of α = .825 and ω = .828. The results demonstrated that the Work-Family Interface (WFI) exerts a significant influence on workplace well-being (WWB) (p = .000). Furthermore, the findings substantiated that the four dimensions of the WFI markedly impact WWB (p = .000). However, the hypothesis that psychological detachment acts as a moderator in the relationship between WFI and WWB was not supported (p = .263, p > .05).
The Impact of Paternal and Maternal Parenting Styles on Alexithymia
Rogers stressed the impact of Conditional Regard (CR) towards the child in the development of neurotic anxiety. Miller noted that disorders in affect regulation relate to family atmospheres where the child is not allowed to express negative emotions. However, studies on the impact of paternal and maternal parenting styles lacking emotional warmth (EW) on the development of alexithymia in adulthood remain scarce. Therefore, The Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ) and the Leiden Parent-Child Interaction Questionnaire (LPCIQ-R) were administered to 152 male and female bachelor psychology students from 18 to 60 years of age at Leiden University. The results demonstrate that: 1) Both paternal and maternal parenting styles lacking EW induced significantly higher Alexithymia Total scores; 2) Fathers lacking EW induced significantly higher scores on Cognitive Alexithymia, while mothers lacking EW induced significantly higher scores on Affective Alexithymia; 3) Both CR fathers and CR mothers induced difficulties with Identifying emotions; 4) CR fathers induced difficulties with Verbalizing emotions, while 5) Indifferent mothers induced difficulties with Emotionalizing. The results above not only support Rogers’ view on the devastating affect of CR on emotion regulation, but empasize the different impact of paternal and maternal roles on the development of alexithymia features as well. In the past mothers were seen as the primary caretakers and consequently mothers were blamed for the child’s mental health problems. However, our results show that Cognitive Alexithymia, known for its association with mental illness is induced by fathers lacking EW. In contrast Affective alexithymia, associated with on the one hand stress resistance, and on the other hand lack of empathy and creativity, turned out to be induced by mothers lacking EW. Hence, with the growing active role of fathers in child rearing it is unfair to blame mothers for the child’s mental problems without prior investigations of parenting styles lacking EW.
