Pengaruh Perceived Social Support Terhadap Personal Growth Initiative Pada Karyawan
This quantitative research with an explanatory design examines the influence of perceived social support on personal growth initiatives in employees. This is motivated by the demands of adapting to change and competition in the industrial world of work, which requires employees to have self-development initiatives. Involving 139 employees in Indonesia (with a minimum of one year of service), selected using a convenience sampling technique. The instruments used were the Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II (PGIS-II) from Robitschek et al. (2012) and the Perceived Social Support Scale from Kuriakose et al. (2019), then analyzed using simple regression (SPSS 24.0). The results showed that perceived social support had a positive and significant effect on personal growth initiatives (R = 0.328; R² = 0.108; p = 0.000; B = 0.637). This indicates that positive perceptions of superior/coworker support will increase employees' personal growth initiatives (effective contribution 10.8%). These findings imply that organizations need to create a climate of social support to encourage employees to be proactive in self-development.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA MORAL DISENGAGEMENT DENGANACADEMIC DISHONESTY PADA MAHASISWA ILMU SOSIALDAN HUMANIORA (SOSHUM)
The emphasis on grades as a benchmark for success in education has led some individuals to overlook other important aspects, resulting in dishonest behaviors such as academic dishonesty. Most studies indicate that students in the social sciences and humanities are among the main contributors to this behavior. However, both society and individuals themselves often display permissive responses, which can encourage the emergence of moral disengagement. In this context, the researcher aimed to examine the relationship between moral disengagement and academic dishonesty among social sciences and humanities students, as well as to provide an overview of each variable and its dimensions. This study employed a quantitative approach involving 457 social sciences and humanities students in Indonesia and was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test. The results showed that the majority of participants fell into the moderate category for both moral disengagement (75.7%) and academic dishonesty (69.8%). Additionally, a positive and significant relationship was found between moral disengagement and overall academic dishonesty (rₛ = 0.464; p < 0.01), as well as with its three dimensions, plagiarism (rₛ = 0.450), unauthorized collaboration (rₛ = 0.429), and cheating (rₛ = 0.396).

Sifat Narsisisme dan Sikap terhadap Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI): Studi Korelasional pada Mahasiswa
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into higher education, yet there is limited understanding of how stable personality traits shape students’ evaluations of these tools. This study examined the relationship between narcissistic traits and attitudes toward AI among Indonesian undergraduates. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed. Participants were 224 undergraduate students from Universitas Negeri Padang who had used AI at least once for academic purposes (e.g., writing, summarizing, or generating ideas). Narcissism was measured using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory–13 (NPI-13), and attitudes toward AI were assessed with the 4-item AI Attitude Scale (AIAS-4), both administered in Indonesian-adapted versions. Data were collected online via a self-report questionnaire and analyzed using JASP. Preliminary analyses included data cleaning, descriptive statistics, and internal consistency estimates using Cronbach’s alpha, followed by Pearson’s correlation once parametric assumptions were met. The results indicated that students tended to show moderate levels of narcissistic traits and generally favorable attitudes toward AI. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a significant positive association between narcissism and attitudes toward AI (r = .26, p < .001), corresponding to a small-to-moderate effect size: students with higher narcissistic tendencies evaluated AI more favorably as an academic tool. These findings suggest that personality differences, particularly narcissistic traits, contribute to how students appraise AI, alongside factors such as digital literacy and institutional policy. The study highlights the need to incorporate individual differences into AI literacy initiatives and academic integrity programs in higher education and points to the importance of further research with larger and more diverse samples across Indonesian students.

Pengaruh Peer Social Support terhadap Homesickness pada Mahasiswa Baru Perantau di Universitas Negeri Padang
This research aims to determine the effect of peer social support on homesickness among new student form out of town at Universitas Negeri Padang. The researcher used the peer social support scale (Primadhani, 2022) and homesickness scale (Yasmin et al., 2017) to measure both variables in this study. The sample used in this study consisted of 57 new student from out of town at Universitas Negeri Padang, selected through purposive sampling and the sample size was determined using the G*Power application. Data was analyzed using simple linear regression analysis technique. The results showed that peer social support has a significant effect on homesickness, thus Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. The magnitude of the effect or coefficient of determination (R2) found that peer social support can explain homesickness by 34.6%. Then, a negative influence was found, meaning that the higher the peer social support, the lower the homesickness felt by new students from out of town at Universitas Negeri Padang. This is due to the fact that new students from out of town face various adaptation challenges that can lead to feelings of homesickness, so the presence of peers can help these new students navigate the initial phase of college life in a new environment. The implications of the research emphasize the importance of being aware of the effects of homesickness and building social relationships with peers as a way to reduce feelings of homesickness. University can design student activity programs that focus on strengthening relationships among students, especially for students from out of town, in order to reduce the level of homesickness experienced by students.

Hubungan Identity Development Masa Emerging Adulthood dengan Digital Maturity pada Mahasiswa Aktif Organisasi
This research seeks to explore the connection between identity development during emerging adulthood and digital maturity in university students actively involved in organizations. Emerging adulthood is a transitional phase towards adulthood, characterized by the process of identity formation and self-adjustment to various social demands, one of which involves the use of digital technology. This creates a challenge for students engaged in organizations, as they must not only use their organizational participation as a means to shape their self-identity but also demonstrate prudent use of digital technology. This study is a quantitative investigation focusing on correlations. The respondents for this research were 387 university students active in organizations, aged 18 to 25 years, selected using an accidental sampling technique. Data collection was performed using two research instruments: the Identity Development scale and the Digital Maturity scale. Both measurement tools had undergone adaptation and testing processes. Data analysis for this study utilized the Spearman's Rho test, which showed a significant positive correlation between Identity Development and Digital Maturity (r = 0.162; p < 0.05). This result indicates that developing a healthy identity through organisations can improve student”s digital maturity. Conversely, if student in organizations lack strong identity development, their digital maturity tends to be low. Previous research has shown that healthy identity development is influenced by a positive environment. Another finding by Laaber, Florack, Koch, & Hubert (2023) demonstrated a relationship between psychological development and digital maturity. Thus, these two findings reinforce the correlation between identity development and digital maturity.
Pengaruh Tingkat Stres terhadap Perilaku Merokok pada Wanita Dewasa Awal
The purpose of this study is to ascertain how stress levels affect the smoking habits of Padang City's early adult female population. Unintentional sampling was the sample approach employed in this quantitative study. 84 Padang City early adult women made up the entire sample, as defined by the G-Power statistical tool version 3.1.9.4. With a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), the findings of a straightforward linear regression analysis revealed a strong positive connection. Additionally, the obtained R-square value was 0.416, suggesting that among early adult women, stress levels accounted for 41.6% of smoking behavior. These results imply that early adult women's smoking behavior may worsen in response to elevated stress levels. The study's findings support the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha), indicating that stress levels and smoking behavior among Padang City's early adult women are significantly positively correlated.
Dampak Konsumsi Short-Form Content terhadap Perkembangan Minat dan Ketahanan Membaca Anak Generasi Alpha
This study aims to examine how the consumption of short-form content affects the reading interest and endurance of Generation Alpha children using a psychopedagogical approach that combines cognitive and behavioral perspectives. This approach integrates Piaget's cognitive development theory, Bandura's social learning theory, and Mischel's concept of delay of gratification. The research was conducted using a qualitative method through a single case study design, involving an 8-year-old girl in the second grade of elementary school. Data were collected through naturalistic observation for six weeks and semi-structured interviews in the third and sixth weeks with the subject and her parents. The collected data were then analyzed using thematic analysis to find patterns of reading behavior and the influence of exposure to short-form content. The results of the study show that consumption of short-form content has the potential to reduce interest in reading through a process of observational learning that shifts children's preferences towards information that is faster, more interesting, and easier to understand. Reading endurance also appears to weaken, which is related to a decrease in the ability to delay gratification and the adaptation of the attention system to fast-moving stimuli. This study concludes that these changes are a form of cognitive adaptation to the digital environment, not merely a matter of motivation. Therefore, targeted psychopedagogical interventions are needed, such as gradual reading endurance training, strengthening self-regulation skills through mindfulness techniques, and educational approaches to control the consumption of short-form content. These findings contribute to the understanding of the psychological mechanisms that influence literacy development in the digital age and offer practical implications for the development of more adaptive literacy strategies.
