The main purpose of this study was to find out whether big five personality traits can predict the participation in volunteering. A total of 420 participants consisting of 215 volunteers and 205 non-volunteers from various regions in Indonesia completed measures of the Big Five personality traits. The preliminary analysis using independent sample t-test found that the extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness of volunteer samples were significantly higher than non-volunteer samples. Binary logistic regression analysis then was used to examine whether each of big five personality traits was able to predict the participation to be volunteer. The logistic regression model was statistically significant, χ2 = 67,102, p < ,01. The model explained 19,7% (Nagelkerke R2) of the variance in volunteer participation and correctly classified 64% of cases. Increasing extraversion and conscientiousness was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of volunteer participation. Thus, certain personality characteristics can predict participation in volunteering

Abstract Violence is an abusive behavior which includes any form of physical abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect. Indonesia's National Commission on Violence against Women, reports that most violence is experienced by women. A majority of the violence occurs within the household domains, otherwise known as domestic violence. Both community and individual violence will result in the experience of trauma in its victims. Nevertheless, trauma caused by violence varies depending on the case and the proximity of the perpetrator to the victim. Many studies have attempted to explore the struggle experienced by victims of violence even although there are very little cases which specifically research cases of domestic violence. This review aims to examine how past empirical studies explain the struggles experienced by victims of violence, the strategy used in addressing their traumatic conditions, and the factors that contribute to a positive change. Posttraumatic Growth. Empirical studies in this review n = 25 which include sources from Psyche, Ebsco, Dissertation unpublish, etc. Indicates that there are several variables that contribute to the positive change process in individuals experiencing violent cases. Among them are social support, self-disclosure, and coping. Keywords: Posttraumatic growth, violence survivor, domestic violence.Â

This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of a processing speed ability test constructed based on the Cattel-Horn-Carroll theory. According to Cattel-Horn-Carroll theory, processing speed ability is the ability that supports general intelligence. It has a significant effect on general intelligence (about 0.7). There are three narrow abilities of processing speed ability (i.e. perceptual speed, number facility and rate of test taking). 299 items of three narrow abilities were composed and trialed on 137 people. Data was analyzed using ITEMAN to select items and to estimate test reliability. Result shows that the tests under investigation have sufficient psychometric properties and adequate reliability.

This research aimed to examine the role of positive emotions as a mediator between psychological capital and work engagement. This research conducted on 129 employees in Surabaya using convenience sampling technique. This study used a quantitative approach through surveys by collecting data using UWES (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale), PCQ (Psychological Capital Questionnaire) and PANAS (Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule). Path analysis was used to examine the relationship between the variables. The results showed that positive emotion doesn’t have a role as a mediator in the relationship between psychological capital and work engagement. These findings indicated that employees with hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience are able to generate vigor, dedication, and absorption in their work without experiencing positive emotion. The implication of this research concluded that the company needs to cultivate hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience to employees so that employees have the vigor, dedication, and absorption on their work.

Pleasure takes part as an underlying motivation in decision making activities, including when committing conventional and reckless behaviors. Whereas previous studies have confirmed that individuals with higher level of religiosity commit less reckless behaviors, little attention is given to further identify their pleasure perceptions toward performing such actions. This study was intended to fill the gap by demonstrating if higher level of religiosity among emerging adults would change perceptions of pleasure, which in turns reduce the likelihood of performing reckless behavior. A total of 441 data of emerging adults (Mage= 20.69; SD = 1.71) living in Jakarta and Tangerang were gathered. The survey found that there exists a negative influence of religiosity towards perception of pleasure in emerging adults’ reckless behavior. This study suggests that in attempt to reduce reckless behavior, practitioners could use indirect religious approaches, including: adopting religious morality, providing a supportive community, and practicing relaxing rituals.Â

AbstractThe study aims to examine the influence of parent’s ethnic socialization, peer’s ethnic socialization, and school climate on children’s ethnic prejudice. This research was conducted in 3 cities: Bangkalan, Yogyakarta, and Medan. The population of this study was 11-14-year-old children. The data was collected in Islamic and public schools. A total of 453 children were involved in this study, comprising of 173 children from Bangkalan, 132 children from Yogyakarta and 148 children from Medan. The result confirms the hypothesis that parents’ ethnic socialization has a negative influence on children's ethnic prejudice. If children perceive that their parent’s attempt to propagate ethnicity-related attitude becomes more intensive, then their ethnic prejudice will decrease accordingly. This research also proves that there is an insignificant negative effect of peers' ethnic socialization on children's ethnic prejudice. This means that the presence of peers’ ethnic socialization has no impact on children's ethnic prejudice. The study also finds an insignificant negative effect of school climate on children's ethnic prejudice. Further explanation of the result will be discussed in this article. Keywords: Ethnic prejudice, children in Indonesia, ethnic socialization

A questionnaire was completed by 1,100 students (550 girls, mean age 13.3 years, SD 1.0; 550 boys, mean age 14.1, SD 1.0) from three types of schools in Pakistan; Urdu medium, Elite English medium, and Madrassa. It included scales measuring frequency of victimisation from physical punishment by a teacher, physical injuries from being punished by a teacher, negative feelings after physical punishment by a teacher, reasons for being punished by a teacher, and acceptance of physical punishment at school. Boys had significantly more often been victimised from physical punishment than girls, with boys from Madrassas being more often victimised than all other groups. Students from English medium schools scored significantly lower on all scales than students from the other schools. Girls reported a significantly more accepting attitude towards physical punishment at  school than boys. Students from Urdu medium schools scored significantly highest on acceptance of physical punishment at school, while boys from English mediums schools reported the significantly lowest level of acceptance. For both girls and boys, acceptance of physical punishment at school was positively correlated with the other scales.

Abstract Sexual behavior outside of marriage means practicing sexual relations outside of marriage. This activity can cause problems like health and psychology of sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, shyness, maternal mortality and HIV/ AIDS. This qualitative research was conducted in the city of Jayapura in November 2017, with the aim to know the attitude of women of Papua against premarital sexual behavior. Observations and interviews were conducted on seven unmarried Papuan women. Participants are in reproductive age (ie between 20 to 23 years). As expected, from the interview the three individuals did not accept this behavior. They say that this behavior is bad for the culture, morality, and value of society in general, especially for young women. Although premarital sexual behavior among Papuan women seems to be an unusual thing, they have knowledge about sexuality and the attitude of rejecting premarital sex. According to them talking about sexual problems in society was still a taboo. Strict cultural controls are a barrier to achieving sexual knowledge. Family factors, religiosity and value systems individual expected as an important factor in preventing premarital sexual behavior, especially among young women. Practical education, the development of individual value systems and the development of positive self-esteem should be given meaningfully to them to avoid and be protected from premarital sexual behavior. The priority of these activities should be given to youth, especially women of productive age. Keywords: Outside marriage, positive self esteem, individual value system, Papuan women   Â
