Previous studies suggested that perceived social support (PSS) significantly contributes to psychological wellbeing (PWB), partially explained by the sense of mattering. Nevertheless, individuals with different personality might perceive social support in different ways from the other. The interaction of PSS with trait narcissism, one of the dark triad personality traits was investigated by collecting data from 141 college students who were recruited purposively and instructed to respond to the scales of PWB, PSS, mattering, and narcissism. Bootstrap analysis with 5,000 samples in 95% confidence interval was utilized to test the moderated mediation hypothesis. The results suggested that individuals with moderate-to-high narcissism levels tend to perceive social support as decreasing their sense of mattering to other people, and as they do not feel they matter, their PWB was negatively affected. Limitations, implications, and suggestions are discussed.
A Review Study on Spiritual Intelligence, Adolescence and Spiritual Intellige...Jonathan Dunnemann
This document provides a literature review on spiritual intelligence, adolescence, and related theories. It discusses how adolescence is an important period for developing skills and identity. Spiritual intelligence training during adolescence can help develop emotional regulation, motivation, empathy and build character to successfully transition to adulthood. Theories like Erikson's psychosocial development theory view adolescence as a time of identity crisis that can be resolved through exploring life's direction. Spiritual intelligence is conceived as a type of intelligence involving spiritual capabilities and resources that predict adaptation and problem solving. It allows people to connect intra- and interpersonally and ask deeper questions about life's meaning to develop one's potential.
This study examined the relationship between positive perception and social well-being among 236 university students during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Students completed the Positive Perception Scale and Social Well-Being Scale. Results showed students had above average positive perception and mid-level social well-being. A positive correlation was found between social well-being and all dimensions of positive perception. Students who sometimes had difficulty evaluating their free time had lower positive perception than those who never had difficulty.
A Review Study on Spiritual Intelligence, Adolescence and Spiritual Intellig...Jonathan Dunnemann
This paper reviewed the articles about adolescence, its relation to spiritual intelligence and the related theories. The adolescence period is the best time to develop positive emotions and training skills, because adolescents are seeking to find their identity and their future personality at this period. Spiritual intelligence has a significant influence on the quality of life and it goes without saying that adolescence is a sensitive period which requires specific training to make a brighter future and be exposed to the difficulties. Spirituality can be viewed as a form of intelligence because it predicts functioning and adaptation and offers capabilities that enable people to solve
problems and attain goals. Conceiving spirituality as a sort of intelligence extends the psychologist’s conception of spirituality and allows its association with the rational cognitive processes like goal achievement and problem solving. Emotional intelligence allows us to judge in which situation we are involved and then to behave appropriately within it. Spiritual intelligence allows us to ask if we want to be in this particular situation in the
first place.

Investigation of the Relationships Between Phubbing, Attachment Styles and So...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This study was aimed to examine the relationships between phubbing, attachment styles and social
anxiety variables in adults; also, to examine the predictors of individuals' socio-demographic characteristics on the
variables of the study. The sample of the study consisted of 260 adult people. According to the first findings of the
study, there was a significant negative relationship between the the Adult Attachment Style (AASS) and the the
Liebowitz Social Anxiety (LSAS), a significant negative relationship between (AASS) and the Generic Scale of
Phubbing (GSP), and a positive relationship between (LSAS) and the (GSP) was found. Secondly, it was determined
that there was no significant difference between the socio-demographic characteristics of the phubbing variable, and
there was a significant difference in the purpose of using the smart phone and the duration of using the smart phone.
While the variable of attachment styles differs significantly according to gender. Finally, although the social anxiety
variable does not differ according to income level, age groups and duration of social media use, it has been found to
differ according to gender. According to the results of the regression analysis, it is concluded that simple linear
regression can be established by seeing that these equations support the assumption of normality.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of friendship
and responsibility between benevolence and empathy skill in the context of
social studies courses. The data in the study, which involves a total of 646
8th grade school students from Turkey, was collected using the scales
"Empathy Scale, Benevolence Scale, Friendship Scale, and Responsibility
Scale" developed by the authors. It was seen that the research variables have
significant positive correlations with each other. It was found that empathy
predicts benevolence, friendship, and responsibility significantly and in a
positive direction. Friendship and responsibility, on the other hand, were
found to play a significant, fully mediating role in the relationship between
empathy and benevolence. These results were discussed using the relevant
literature and suggestions that were gathered.
Objective: Spirituality has been shown to be associated with various aspects of health. It has also been discussed as an aid in coping with adversities.
Methods: The present investigation examined four dimensions of spirituality – belief in God, mindfulness, quest for meaning and feeling of security – as possible mediators between childhood adversities and adult adaptation. Two samples of n ≈ 500 were examined via internet in a retrospective survey.
Results: Two pathways from childhood to adult adaptation via spirituality were detected, one via mindfulness and one via feeling of security. Both pathways began at maternal love, the opposite of emotional neglect. Childhood abuse or physical neglect was not associated with the development of spirituality. Associations were not only linear in nature, but also displayed interactions.

This study examined the relationships between student depression, school burnout, deviation from a balanced time perspective, gender, and perceived family acceptance. The researchers surveyed 355 high school students in Poland. They found that female students and those with lower perceived family acceptance reported higher levels of depression, burnout, and imbalance in time perspective. Deviation from a balanced time perspective was found to partially mediate the relationship between school burnout and depression. Gender and perceived family acceptance were also found to moderate some of the relationships between these variables. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at depression and burnout in students should consider time perspective development and family factors.

Discussion Wk 1: Factors That Influence the Development of Psychopathology
COLLAPSE
Factors That Influence the Development of Psychopathology
Psychopathology is defined as the study of mental illness. Culture, social, biological, and psychological factors can influence the development of psychopathology. For years researchers have studied humans to determine if genetic or environmental factors have a more significant impact on a person's behavior. The better we can understand why a mental disorder develops, the easier it will be to find effective treatments (Cuncic, 2020). For this discussion post, I will identify different factors that influence psychopathology.
Biological (Genetic and Neuroscientific)
Biological factors affect psychopathology. According to Sadock et al. (2015), "The study of families with the use of population genetic methods over the last 50 years has consistently supported a genetic, heritable component to mental disorders." Hereditary traits influence how a person will respond to different situations throughout their lifetime. The brain is comprised of many neurons and neurotransmitters that play a role in mental health disorders. Research has found 40-70% of a person's cognition, temperament, and personality arise from genetic factors (Sadock et al., 2015). In addition, many factors (drug use, smoking, premature birth) during pregnancy affect a fetus's biological makeup that can cause lifelong complications. Schizophrenia, depression, autism, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are all neuropsychiatric conditions that originate during brain development (Sadock et al., 2015). Also, the way a person's body reacts to medications used to treat these disorders is influenced by genetics. It is impossible to explain the influence biologics have on psychopathology in one discussion post; many detailed books have been written hundreds of pages long attempting to explain the phenomenon.
Psychological (Behavioral and Cognitive Processes, Emotional, Developmental)
Psychological factors play a role in psychopathology. These factors can occur due to traumas such as childhood neglect, the death of an immediate family member, and abuse (physical, emotional, sexual). Physiological symptoms observed with psychopathology vary but can include changes in eating habits or mood, excessive worry, anxiety, distress, or fear, inability to concentrate, irritability or anger, low energy, sleep disturbances, and feelings of fatigue (Cuncic, 2020). Many times mental health disorders arise from the adverse effects during childhood or young adulthood. According to Masten & Kalstabakken (2018), "Community- or family-level violence can influence stress regulation systems within individuals." These stress regulation systems can lead to mental health disorders, including addiction, anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Psychological trends have been studied in some individuals that make .
The role of entrepreneurship in addressing the issue of educated unemployment is well acknowledged, while its specific implications for health professions students remain inadequately explored. This study's main objective is to investigate entrepreneurship education's effect on entrepreneurial intention by considering entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator in students majoring in medical laboratory technology. This quantitative research uses an exploratory approach involving 300 respondents determined through simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that entrepreneurship education directly impacts self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy was identified to exert a positive mediating effect between these variables. However, the effect size between the relationships of the research variables is low. Nevertheless, higher education offering health majors can optimize entrepreneurship education by implementing practical learning and field experience to increase confidence and intention in entrepreneurial activities.
Recent studies claimed that the absence of a paradigm is a challenge to developing education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies. This integrative study examines stimulating these transferable and transversal competencies through constructivist approaches to teaching from the cognitive, social, radical, and critical perspectives. The study argues that the use of constructivist approaches to teaching can contribute to the achievement of education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies through the delegation of power from teachers/lecturers to students. This, in active and interactive classrooms, empowers students and builds their confidence to develop on the personal, academic, and professional levels. The use of the cognitive constructivist approach assists in developing competencies based on a clear understanding of the cognitive structures of students in a vibrant classroom environment. The use of the social constructivist approach assists in constructing individualized learning environment based on predetermined zones of proximal development in sociocultural contexts. The radical and critical constructivist approaches to teaching, through the rejection of conventional epistemologies, allow students the freedom to creatively address issues related to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This becomes effective through the fostering of self and social awareness, challenging existing ideas, and provoking innovative thoughts that are necessary to shape a sustainable future.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of friendship
and responsibility between benevolence and empathy skill in the context of
social studies courses. The data in the study, which involves a total of 646
8th grade school students from Turkey, was collected using the scales
"Empathy Scale, Benevolence Scale, Friendship Scale, and Responsibility
Scale" developed by the authors. It was seen that the research variables have
significant positive correlations with each other. It was found that empathy
predicts benevolence, friendship, and responsibility significantly and in a
positive direction. Friendship and responsibility, on the other hand, were
found to play a significant, fully mediating role in the relationship between
empathy and benevolence. These results were discussed using the relevant
literature and suggestions that were gathered.
Objective: Spirituality has been shown to be associated with various aspects of health. It has also been discussed as an aid in coping with adversities.
Methods: The present investigation examined four dimensions of spirituality – belief in God, mindfulness, quest for meaning and feeling of security – as possible mediators between childhood adversities and adult adaptation. Two samples of n ≈ 500 were examined via internet in a retrospective survey.
Results: Two pathways from childhood to adult adaptation via spirituality were detected, one via mindfulness and one via feeling of security. Both pathways began at maternal love, the opposite of emotional neglect. Childhood abuse or physical neglect was not associated with the development of spirituality. Associations were not only linear in nature, but also displayed interactions.

This study examined the relationships between student depression, school burnout, deviation from a balanced time perspective, gender, and perceived family acceptance. The researchers surveyed 355 high school students in Poland. They found that female students and those with lower perceived family acceptance reported higher levels of depression, burnout, and imbalance in time perspective. Deviation from a balanced time perspective was found to partially mediate the relationship between school burnout and depression. Gender and perceived family acceptance were also found to moderate some of the relationships between these variables. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at depression and burnout in students should consider time perspective development and family factors.

Discussion Wk 1: Factors That Influence the Development of Psychopathology
COLLAPSE
Factors That Influence the Development of Psychopathology
Psychopathology is defined as the study of mental illness. Culture, social, biological, and psychological factors can influence the development of psychopathology. For years researchers have studied humans to determine if genetic or environmental factors have a more significant impact on a person's behavior. The better we can understand why a mental disorder develops, the easier it will be to find effective treatments (Cuncic, 2020). For this discussion post, I will identify different factors that influence psychopathology.
Biological (Genetic and Neuroscientific)
Biological factors affect psychopathology. According to Sadock et al. (2015), "The study of families with the use of population genetic methods over the last 50 years has consistently supported a genetic, heritable component to mental disorders." Hereditary traits influence how a person will respond to different situations throughout their lifetime. The brain is comprised of many neurons and neurotransmitters that play a role in mental health disorders. Research has found 40-70% of a person's cognition, temperament, and personality arise from genetic factors (Sadock et al., 2015). In addition, many factors (drug use, smoking, premature birth) during pregnancy affect a fetus's biological makeup that can cause lifelong complications. Schizophrenia, depression, autism, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are all neuropsychiatric conditions that originate during brain development (Sadock et al., 2015). Also, the way a person's body reacts to medications used to treat these disorders is influenced by genetics. It is impossible to explain the influence biologics have on psychopathology in one discussion post; many detailed books have been written hundreds of pages long attempting to explain the phenomenon.
Psychological (Behavioral and Cognitive Processes, Emotional, Developmental)
Psychological factors play a role in psychopathology. These factors can occur due to traumas such as childhood neglect, the death of an immediate family member, and abuse (physical, emotional, sexual). Physiological symptoms observed with psychopathology vary but can include changes in eating habits or mood, excessive worry, anxiety, distress, or fear, inability to concentrate, irritability or anger, low energy, sleep disturbances, and feelings of fatigue (Cuncic, 2020). Many times mental health disorders arise from the adverse effects during childhood or young adulthood. According to Masten & Kalstabakken (2018), "Community- or family-level violence can influence stress regulation systems within individuals." These stress regulation systems can lead to mental health disorders, including addiction, anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Psychological trends have been studied in some individuals that make .

The role of entrepreneurship in addressing the issue of educated unemployment is well acknowledged, while its specific implications for health professions students remain inadequately explored. This study's main objective is to investigate entrepreneurship education's effect on entrepreneurial intention by considering entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator in students majoring in medical laboratory technology. This quantitative research uses an exploratory approach involving 300 respondents determined through simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that entrepreneurship education directly impacts self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy was identified to exert a positive mediating effect between these variables. However, the effect size between the relationships of the research variables is low. Nevertheless, higher education offering health majors can optimize entrepreneurship education by implementing practical learning and field experience to increase confidence and intention in entrepreneurial activities.
Recent studies claimed that the absence of a paradigm is a challenge to developing education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies. This integrative study examines stimulating these transferable and transversal competencies through constructivist approaches to teaching from the cognitive, social, radical, and critical perspectives. The study argues that the use of constructivist approaches to teaching can contribute to the achievement of education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies through the delegation of power from teachers/lecturers to students. This, in active and interactive classrooms, empowers students and builds their confidence to develop on the personal, academic, and professional levels. The use of the cognitive constructivist approach assists in developing competencies based on a clear understanding of the cognitive structures of students in a vibrant classroom environment. The use of the social constructivist approach assists in constructing individualized learning environment based on predetermined zones of proximal development in sociocultural contexts. The radical and critical constructivist approaches to teaching, through the rejection of conventional epistemologies, allow students the freedom to creatively address issues related to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This becomes effective through the fostering of self and social awareness, challenging existing ideas, and provoking innovative thoughts that are necessary to shape a sustainable future.
The research aimed to describe the development of solar electric cars as a prop in energy conversion learning using the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model and to ascertain the effectiveness of an electric car as a prop in energy conversion learning. Utilization of prop in the learning process is one way to support the development of knowledge, skills, and basic needs for delivering material, concepts, and physics information. This research is a descriptive study involving media and pedagogical experts and 40 students of the university in Tasikmalaya. Data collection techniques were carried out through the study of literature, expert validation, and student perception questionnaires. Expert validation and student perception were obtained by using a Likert scale. The expert judgment results were processed using the V value equation developed by Aiken. The results showed a value of 1, meeting the minimum validation requirements. The students also had positive responses to a prop. They have new experience learning in energy conversion and have good media to help their comprehension. It has a significant impact on helping students to achieve their learning goals.
The rise and growing prevalence of juvenile delinquency is a matter of concern for many parties. This study aims to establish a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire that can be deployed to assess the learning environment perceived by high school students. This research endeavor constitutes a developmental study, wherein the outcomes are a single survey instrument encompassing six variables, nineteen indicators, and forty questions. The data-collecting process involved the utilization of a Google Form across five schools in five districts, containing a total of 1615 participants. The analysis of expert data was conducted utilizing V. Aiken and field trials employing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) Second Order. The findings of this study indicate that the diagnostic survey instrument used to assess the learning environment's impact on the mental health of high school students demonstrated validity, as evidenced by loading factor values exceeding the established minimal threshold. The reliability of the instrument remains insufficient. This survey can be utilized to detect adolescent persistent tendencies carried out by students or other school members that interfere with mental health: the emergence and significant raising of juvenile delinquency.
Marinyo is a culture left by the Portuguese around the 15th century in Maluku. The purpose of this study was to find out to what extent students' misconceptions about the concept of sound in the Marinyo case in the Kepuluan Tanimbar Regency. The method used was a qualitative study in ethnography in ten villages in two sub-districts. In addition, they conducted a survey in the form of a diagnostic test in the form of questions related to the Marinyo case on 300 elementary school students. The findings in the field show that students experience relatively high misconceptions. It was because teachers did not accustom students to learn from natural phenomena around them and were given scientific questions to seek, find and provide answers and solutions related to these natural phenomena. The teacher was more pursuing the conditions and problems of physics in textbooks and less exploring contextual matters. Future researchers are suggested to develop physics or science teaching materials based on regional local advantages that are oriented towards understanding concepts, mental models, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovative thinking so that teachers and students can learn well so that knowledge of science becomes better.
Online learning is a growing trend in education during the corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the difficulties that online majors in non-English languages have when attempting to acquire English. The subject of this study involved using the questionnaire method for as many as 412 students and interviewing 15 students with a total of 17 questions. The results of this study indicate that there are several challenges faced by students during online learning; i) less familiarity with online learning as shown by 31% of students agreeing that online learning is a new learning method, ii) psychologically 30% of students choose strongly agree that they have limited opportunities to interact directly and freely with lecturers as well as with students, iii) limited facilities and infrastructure as much as 28% agree that the budget is limited to get quota or internet credit, and iv) limited internet access as many as 35% of students do not have good internet coverage to take online lectures. The findings of this study should be a reference for English lecturers to continue learning to innovate in providing online English learning by considering the existing challenges.
English for young learners (EYL) teachers have practiced some creative activities to maintain their pupils’ learning with natural exposure to the target language amidst the pandemic. One activity practiced by Indonesian and Korean teachers was an international collaboration to perform a virtual drama of each country’s folktale. This phenomenological research aimed at tapping the teachers’ perceptions regarding interculturality and world Englishes (WE) in the virtual dramatic play collaboratively conducted and delving into their commitments in honing interculturality and WE. Two Indonesian and Korean teachers were involved in three sessions of in-depth interviews using pre-prepared interview questions. The trustworthiness of the data was achieved by the group discussions allowing the participants to comment on and revise the transcribed data, as well as triangulation by two international collaborators. Thematic analysis was performed to identify emerging themes and to provide novel insights into EYL teachers' encounters with interculturality and WE. The Indonesian and Korean teachers admitted the compatibility between language and culture, the urgency of introducing varieties of English, and the merits of conducting international collaboration to promote interculturality and WE. The teachers are committed to integrate interculturality and WE in their instructions despite some differences in the stipulated curricula.
The fear of failure stops students from thinking logically and processing information in mathematics. Creating an appropriate classroom climate based on every student's ability is crucial to overcoming the prejudices associated with mathematics. In this regard, this study aims to create the best classroom climate approach that will increase interest in mathematics and ensure academic success. For this purpose, mathematicians' views on the classroom climate approach and how they create them were discussed by using qualitative techniques. It was considered that teachers participating in this research are working in 9th grade in state high schools affiliated with the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus Ministry of Education, accepting students through examination. The researchers collected teacher views through a semistructured interview form and analyzed them using context analysis. The findings showed that teachers were in a hurry to teach and generally paid attention to creating a comfortable classroom climate in which students could express their thoughts and opinions. This situation also revealed a lack of adequate classroom climate approach skills among teachers. Therefore, the classroom climate approaches discussed in this study are expected to make a significant contribution to this field by offering solutions to teachers in creating a supportive classroom climate.
The article is devoted to the study of the issue of training future police officers to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in their professional activities. Based on the results of the theoretical analysis of scientific and applied works, modern trends in the development of drones in the activities of law enforcement agencies were identified, and the problem of their implementation in practical activities was outlined. An online survey was conducted in order to study the opinion of scientific, scientific and pedagogical workers and graduates of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions that train police officers about the need to train future police officers in the control of UAVs. The need to introduce into the system of primary professional training the training of service skills using drones is substantiated. On the basis of the study of the content of the training program for unmanned aircraft systems of the first class according to the basic qualification level of the first level, it is proposed to introduce the general professional educational unit “formation of skills and skills of controlling an UAV” into the training program of the primary professional training of police officers in the specified specialty.
English language teaching (ELT) in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, commonly known as pesantren, presents a unique context that requires a tailored pedagogical approach. This study aimed to explore the application of context-responsive pedagogy in ELT within the unique context of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. This qualitative study employed semistructured interviews and classroom observation as data generation methods to gain insights into the experiences and perspectives of English language teachers regarding the implementation of context-responsive pedagogy in English language instruction. The findings revealed the importance of understanding learner needs, incorporating authentic materials, promoting cultural sensitivity, and effective use of technology in ELT practices in Islamic boarding school contexts. This study delves into how English language teachers navigated and negotiated their practices with the socio-cultural and religious values entrenched in this institution. It also highlighted the challenges English language teachers in this school context faced in the implementation of context-responsive pedagogy. Eventually, this research provides valuable insights for ELT practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in incorporating context-specific pedagogy to optimize ELT in Islamic boarding schools and similar educational contexts.
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a training curriculum intended to enhance the quality of life for the elderly. As Thailand witnesses a demographic shift with increasing numbers of older adults, driven by declining birth rates and extended life expectancies, the importance of ensuring quality elderly care becomes paramount. The devised curriculum encompasses eight principal elements focusing on the elderly, defined as those aged 60 and above, addressing their physical and mental changes, well-being, health, and overall satisfaction. The content is holistic, integrating components of music, art, health care, and exercise. Delivered over a two-day period, the curriculum employs a structured approach featuring lectures, discussions, and knowledge exchanges, supported by a range of media and materials. Initial assessments revealed a moderate quality of life among the elderly, but post-training evaluations indicated enhanced knowledge, understanding, and positive attitudes towards the activities, pointing to an overall high level of effectiveness of the curriculum.
The study of the role of the pedagogy of partnership (PoP) in building the professional competence of future primary school teachers is relevant in the context of modern educational and pedagogical transformations, which require the preparation of teachers for new challenges and creating a favourable learning environment. Therefore, the aim of our study was to check the effect of observing the pedagogical partnership principles in the educational process on the development of the communicative competence of future primary school teachers. The study employed the following psychodiagnostic methods: the Thomas-Kilmann conflict mode instrument (TKI), Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI), Snyder’s self-control in communication. The implementation of the PoP programme in higher education institutions (HEIs) has a positive effect on the development of the communicative competence of future teachers, in particular, on developing the ability for self-control and increasing the scope of psychological knowledge. The study revealed some important correlations. Our results indicate that cooperation and the ability to make compromises are directly related to the communicative abilities of future teachers. Further research can be focused on studying the impact of pedagogical partnership on other aspects of future teacher training, such as methodical mastery, motivation for learning and development.
This study examined the relationship between students’ academic performance, teachers’ commitment, and leadership behavior of school administrators. Teachers’ commitment was measured in two areas– commitment to job and commitment to organization and the leadership behavior of school administrators were evaluated in terms of consideration and initiating structure. Eighty-one teachers, 11 school heads, and 470 students served as respondents. The descriptive survey research technique, correlation analysis, and the following statistical methods were used: frequency, mean, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient. The study revealed that the initiating structure and consideration dimensions of leadership behavior affect teachers’ commitment to job (CTJ) and teacher’s commitment to organization (CTO). The correlation between CTJ and CTO and leadership behavior-initiating structure is positive and with leadership behavior-consideration negative. CTJ and CTO is correlated with the students’ academic performance in math, but not in Science and English. The correlation is negative. Students’ academic performance in all subject areas is negatively correlated with leadership behavior-initiating structure and has no significant relationship with leadership behavior-consideration. The leadership behavior-initiating structure is positively correlated with teachers’ commitment to both job and organization but has negative correlation with students’ academic performance in math, science, and English.
This study aims to describe preservice mathematics teacher knowledge of higher order thinking skills in terms of definition, Bloom's taxonomy level, curriculum, learning, and evaluation. This research is quantitative research with a survey method. and sample consisted of 248 preservice mathematics teachers in semesters VI - VIII of the Department of Mathematics Education, Nusa Cendana University, Timor University, and Wira Wacana Sumba University. The instrument used was a questionnaire about high order thinking skill (HOTS) which consisted of 105 statements. Data analysis used Likert's summeted rating, one sample test, Mann Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis tests, multiple linear regression test, and multivariate analyisis of variance (MANOVA) test. The results showed that the knowledge level of preservice mathematics teacher was in the good category. Based on gender differences, there was no significant difference in the average knowledge of preservice mathematics teacher about HOTS, there was a significant difference in the average knowledge of preservice mathematics teacher about HOTS which is significant based on differences in academic ability and gender differences do not significantly affect knowledge about HOTS levels in Bloom's taxonomy, curriculum, and pedagogy while academic knowledge has a significant effect on HOTS knowledge of preservice teachers in almost all aspects except for pedagogy.
Formative assessment is an evaluative practice developed in the classroom for the improvement of learning using evidence on student progression. The objective of this research is to compare sample groups from multigrade and single-grade classrooms on the theme of formative assessment based on the students' opinion of the teacher's performance. The method used was a comparative quantitative method. The sample type is a probability sample of 683 students from 5th to 8th grade from urban and rural schools in the commune of Longaví, located in the Maule Region of Chile. A validated Likert scale questionnaire with a high level of reliability (α = 0.93) was used. The results of the research showed that, in the six dimensions, the best teacher performance concerning formative assessment is found in multi-grade schools and not in single-grade schools. This can be explained on the basis of several reasons, among them the level of adaptability that teachers have in this type of classroom, the heterogeneous characteristics of the classroom (different ages and learning goals) and the need for teachers to monitor the learning progression of students with different classroom characteristics.
Financial literacy, as a fundamental skill in the 21st century, has become a life skill that is urgently needed to be improved. Globally, the drive to enhance financial literacy involves integrating it into the education curriculum, necessitating educators’ comprehensive grasp of financial literacy education before imparting it to students. This research aims to outline a conceptual model of financial literacy professional development to improve teachers’ professional competence, employing a narrative review that synthesizes 28 relevant literatures retrieved from Scopus databases. The results of the study show that an effective training model for teacher professional development (TPD) in financial literacy education should focus on essential financial literacy content consisting of planning and budgeting, banking services, income and careers, insurance, investment, savings, also spending and credit. Furthermore, the main characteristics of TPD regarding financial literacy education should encompass content focus, coherence, ownership, active learning, duration, and collective participation.
The objective of this research is to examine teachers' competence in designing activities after engaging in professional development activities aimed at enhancing teaching design in order to develop students' thinking abilities that are contextually appropriate. The participants consist of 5 elementary school science teachers from schools. The research employed semi-structured interviews and classroom observation as research instruments. The findings reveal that teachers engaged in self-development through observation and learning from their peers within the community of practice (CoP). They receive advice and feedback from fellow teachers and apply these insights to improve their activities. Consequently, teachers are able to continuously refine and develop their teaching approaches to align with students' contexts. This approach facilitate diversification in thinking and learning management, as well as collaborative teamwork to enhance teaching methods. As a result, engaging and interesting thinking development activities are incorporated into student learning, along with the creation of a seamless learning-promoting environment. Collaborative teamwork in instructional design and problem-solving further afford teachers the opportunity for additional self-learning and personal development. This collaborative approach also contributes to fostering cognitive diversity and relieved the need for individual teachers to undertake all tasks independently.
Adaptive online learning can be realized through the evaluation of the learning process. Monitoring and supervising learners’ cognitive levels and adjusting learning strategies can increasingly improve the quality of online learning. This analysis is made possible by real-time measurement of learners’ cognitive levels during the online learning process. However, most of the currently used techniques for evaluating cognitive levels rely on labour-intensive and time-consuming manual coding. In this study, we explore the machine learning (ML) algorithms and taxonomy of Bloom’s cognitive levels to explore features that affect learner’s cognitive level in online assessments and the ability to automatically predict learner’s cognitive level and thus, come up with a recommendation or pedagogical intervention to improve learner’s acquisition. The analysis of 15,182 learners’ assessments of a specific learning concept affirms the effectiveness of our approach. We attain an accuracy of 82.21% using ML algorithms. These results are very encouraging and have implications for how automated cognitive-level analysis tools for online learning will be developed in the future.
This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to investigate the potential of digital online game-based learning (DOGBL) to enhance motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL). Online gaming has grown in popularity among students, opening up the possibility of using games as powerful instructional resources. Academic achievement depends on motivation, and this study, led by self-determination theory (SDT), explored how external rules, like rewards and recognition, could increase motivation in EFL utilizing DOGBL. The study used the SLR method, examining databases and choosing articles based on predetermined criteria. The chosen publications were examined in-depth, and a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) diagram was employed for analysis. For results, DOGBL could enhance teaching EFL by providing flexible and interesting learning environments. Key elements in motivating in DOGBL included game design, personalization, social engagement, curricular integration, and instructor assistance. As a promising method to improve EFL instruction, game-based learning, especially DOGBL, saw considerable developments between 2018 and 2023. Thus, these ground-breaking techniques transformed the way people learn English vocabulary and provided a fun and engaging way to learn the language. For educators and students, the potential for DOGBL to change EFL education is still exciting as technology develops.
The development of postmodern-era technology in the world of education is increasingly sophisticated, thus impacting the character of students and their social environment. Technological progress negatively affects the lives of today's generation. When misuse of technology is widespread, it is imperative to strengthen cultural and religious filtration. So that the influence of globalization on technological development can be minimized. So as not to damage the cultural values and morality of students as the next generation of the nation. This study aims to explain the importance of transforming the values of Bima's local wisdom "Nggusu Waru" through the media of social studies e-books. The results and conclusions of this study are efforts to develop students' social character that require teacher collaboration, supervision, and optimal parental attention so that their interest in learning is higher and minimizes deviant behavior. This research method uses research and development design. At the stage of preliminary studies with models developed by Borg and Gall. Through several stages of research, information gathering, development of initial forms of products, and initial field testing. In this step, data is collected through interviews, observation and documentation. The data is analyzed to find out some of its weaknesses and shortcomings.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Previous studies suggested that perceived social support (PSS) significantly
contributes to psychological wellbeing (PWB), partially explained by the
sense of mattering. Nevertheless, individuals with different personality
might perceive social support in different ways from the other. The
interaction of PSS with trait narcissism, one of the dark triad personality
traits was investigated by collecting data from 141 college students who
were recruited purposively and instructed to respond to the scales of PWB,
PSS, mattering, and narcissism. Bootstrap analysis with 5,000 samples
in 95% confidence interval was utilized to test the moderated mediation
hypothesis. The results suggested that individuals with moderate-to-high
narcissism levels tend to perceive social support as decreasing their sense
of mattering to other people, and as they do not feel they matter, their
PWB was negatively affected. Limitations, implications, and suggestions
are discussed.

1. INTRODUCTION
Psychological wellbeing of college students has been an important issue since the realization that
academic achievement is not the only significant thing in life [1]. In line with that, studies in various setting
have reported that psychological wellbeing or mental health is an important factor to have a meaningful life
[2] and a balanced life [3]. In the context of this current study, students’ psychological wellbeing (PWB)
holds a significant role in keeping students from further effect of psychological problems, such as anxiety [4],
or depression [5]. Paradoxically, studies also reported that universities and colleges exposed the youth to
more mental health problems. A systematic review by Zhang et al. [6] suggested that the highest reported
cause of mental health problems among young adults is academic stress. While the prevalence of academic
stress and mental health issues was reported to be high among university students, it is important to highlight
that the reports vary according to many factors; academic factors, for instance, nursing and medical students
tend to be reported as experiencing higher levels of academic stress, anxiety, and depression [7]. Another
instance is based on social interaction factors; during the lockdown amidst the pandemic, where the social
interaction was observed to be lower among every individual, the stress levels among college students was
reported to be higher among college students [8].
Another study during the lockdown also reported that the perception of being socially included held
important significance on individuals’ mental wellbeing, mediated by the lower levels of fear of missing out
or FOMO among individuals who felt socially included [9]. While the social interaction factors such as
FOMO, loneliness, and perceived social inclusion are considered an important building block for PWB, it is
imperative to note that different individuals might react differently towards the same or similar social
feedback; in other words, personality factors might play some roles in the equation. A study in Malaysian

context during the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that perceived social support, perceived
social inclusion, and the sense of mattering worked differently in developing happiness among individuals
with different extraversion levels. The study suggested that personal factors, such as personality traits,
interact with social factors, such as perceived social support and sense of mattering, in predicting one’s
mental health.
The significant role of social attribute towards psychological wellbeing can be explained by several
theories, one of them is the sociometer theory [10], which posits that human have an internal psychological
mechanism called a sociometer that monitors our social acceptance and belongingness. It suggests that our
self-esteem and sense of self-worth are influenced by our perception of how we are socially valued by others
[11]. Sociometer theory was supported by many previous studies, such as the study by Nga et al. [12] that
reported higher sense of empowerment among individuals who believe that their social environment was
supportive and inclusive. Contextually, it was also reported that sociometer, the sense that we are included in
social circles and socially supported, played significant role in protecting college students from anxiety and
depression The role of sociometer in the form of perceived social support (PSS), perceived social inclusion,
and the sense of mattering was reported to be significant and positive towards mental health among college
students, and their prevalence was reported to be similar between before, during, and after the pandemic
outbreak [8], [13]–[15]. As posited by the theory, our sociometer acts as an internal gauge that assesses the
level of acceptance and inclusion we experience in our social interactions. When we feel accepted and valued
enough by others, our sociometer signals positive self-evaluation, which contributes to positive emotions and
wellbeing [9]. Conversely, when we perceive rejection or social exclusion, our sociometer triggers low self-
esteem, leading to negative emotions and a diminished sense of well-being [16].
Included as sociometer, PSS has been reported as a significant predictor of psychological and
subjective wellbeing, as well as other psychological features, such as unconditional self-acceptance [17], a
cognitive feature of accepting and valuing oneself, including imperfections, without requiring external
validation or meeting certain criteria. It fosters emotional and psychological well-being, resilience, as well as
a healthier relationship with oneself [18], [19]. In the context of our study, sociometer is represented by both
PSS and mattering. Mattering is another cognitive feature that is significantly predicted by PSS and
significantly predicts PWB [20]. Nevertheless, PSS and mattering cannot be defined as one single factor or two
factors that interact with one another to predict PWB as they PSS is a robust predictor of mattering; when one
feel supported by others, they would likely to believe that they matter to those who support them [21].
Furthermore, mattering was reported as a significant and robust predictor of happiness in its various
forms, such as subjective wellbeing [9], wellness [22] and satisfaction with life. With that in mind, it is
logical to hypothesize that mattering can explain (mediate) the association between PSS and PWB among the
college students in our current study. In other words, we hypothesize that individuals who perceive that other
people are supportive tend to believe that they matter to others, and that belief will eventually lead them to a
better mental health. Nonetheless, some studies suggested that the sense that we matter to other might vary
among individuals, based on how they develop their sociometer. This individual difference might be
associated with personal references that are formed by different personality factors [23]. Therefore,
sociometer and personality factors might interact with one another in contributing to one’s perceived
wellbeing, either psychologically or subjectively. Supporting the notion that sociometer might interact with
personality traits, another study by Prihadi et al. [24] suggested that PSS and mattering interact with trait
extraversion in predicting satisfaction with life among adults in the locked down period in Malaysia.
For the context of our current study, we refer to narcissism as a personality trait, instead of
narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). NPD is a psychological disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern
of grandiosity, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. It involves rigid and maladaptive
narcissistic traits that significantly impair a person’s functioning and relationships [25], [26]. Trait
narcissism, on the other hand, refers to narcissistic tendencies or characteristics that exist on a spectrum. It
encompasses a range of self-centered traits, from mild to extreme, but falls short of meeting the diagnostic
criteria for NPD. Thus, in the context of this current study, trait narcissism refers to a dark personality trait
characterized by an excessive sense of self-importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy
towards others [27], [28].
Known as one of the dark triad personality traits together with Machiavellianism and sociopathy
[29], narcissism involves a preoccupation with one’s own achievements, appearance, and success, often at the
expense of others. Individuals with narcissism often exhibit manipulative and exploitative behaviors to fulfill
their own desires and maintain a grandiose self-image [30]. Although this trait would not be diagnosed as a
disorder, it is often associated with negative outcomes, such as interpersonal conflicts, shallow relationships,
and difficulties in maintaining healthy connections with others [31]. During the lockdown amidst the
pandemic, it was reported that trait narcissism interacted with PSS in predicting loneliness among the
quarantined individuals [32]; narcissistic individuals tend to sense the social support deprivation and manage

their behavior to gain more desired social feedback. As during the lockdown most of the social interaction
could only be done online, narcissistic individuals tend to manipulate the contents of their social media or
profile pictures to attract desired comments or social feedback from others that feed their elevated need to
matter [33], [34].
In turn, when their other social network users provided them with the desired social feedback,
narcissists would likely to believe they matter more to others, and they would likely to be more satisfied with
their life now and subjectively perceive themselves as being well [27], [33]. Nevertheless, students with
narcissism might also perceive social support as an unintentional reminder of their own vulnerabilities and
limitations, which contradict their grandiose self-image, that eventually led them to reject or devalue the
support, as it challenges their belief in their own superiority [35]. It was reported by Fang et al. [36] that such
situation might lead individuals with trait narcissism to depression.
Based on the literature, we hypothesized that trait narcissism among the students will interact with
their PSS in predicting both mattering and PWB; it will also interact with mattering in predicting PWB. In
other words, we hypothesized that narcissism will alter the coefficient of path a, path b, path c, and path c’ in
the mediation model, and therefore moderates the mediation indirect effect of PSS on PWB through
mattering. Figure 1 illustrate the hypothesized model of moderated mediation based on the literature to be
tested. As can be seen in Figure 1, we hypothesized that the higher the level of trait narcissism, the lower the
coefficient of the indirect link between PSS and PWB through mattering.

2. RESEARCH METHOD
2.1. Participants
A targeted sample of 141 college and university students hailing from the Selangor State of
Malaysia was purposively selected. The inclusion criteria for this study mandated that participants be adults
aged 18 years or older and officially enrolled in a college or university in Malaysia during the data collection
period. This careful selection process ensured that the study’s sample was representative of the specific
demographic under investigation.
2.2. Measurements
2.2.1. Multidimensional scale of perceived social support
Perceived social support was measured using the multidimensional scale of perceived social support
[37]. The scale consists of 12 items asking participants to rate if they have received support from those
around them. It was measured on a 7-point Likert scale 1 (very strongly disagree) to 7 (very strongly
disagree). The scale demonstrated high internal reliability, α=.907.
2.2.2. General mattering scale
The mediating variable, mattering was measured using the general mattering scale [38]. The scale
consists of five items and was rated on a 4-point Likert scale 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The scale has
high internal reliability, α=.769.
2.2.3. Psychological wellbeing scale
To measure the outcome variable, psychological wellbeing, the psychological wellbeing scale [39]
was used. The scale consisted of 18 items measured on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree)
to 7 (strongly disagree). The scale has an internal reliability of α=.815.

2.2.4. Narcissistic personality inventory
The moderator variable, trait narcissism was measured using the narcissistic personality inventory.
This inventory asked the participants to rate which of the statements they identified closest with that best
describe their feelings and beliefs about themselves. As this is a dichotomous inventory, reliability could not
be generated.
2.3. Data collection procedure
Data collection was done by inviting the participants to participate via online social media.
Participants were required to agree and give their informed consent before proceeding. Once agreed, the
participants completed the survey by starting to fill up their demographic details followed by the general
mattering scale, multidimensional scale of perceived social support, psychological well-being, and finally the
narcissistic personality inventory. The participants took an average of 15 minutes to complete the survey. At
the end, participants were thanked for their participations.
2.4. Data analysis
To test the moderated mediation hypothesis, we employ the bootstrap method with 5,000 samples
with 95% confidence interval. The bootstrap method was chosen due to its robustness in analyzing
the complex interrelationship between the outcome variable and more than one predictor variable without
having to assume the normality of the data [40]. To execute the test, we employ the PROCESS Macro model
59 for SPSS.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Results
The outcomes demonstrate the absence of a significant association between the PSS model and
PWB (total effect) at any level of narcissism. In other words, one’s perception of support does not offer
protection against mental health issues, as indicated by the results in Table 1. While this finding seems
to against the past studies (that individuals who feel supported tend to have better psychological health),
it is important to see the finding depicted in Tables 2 and 3, where we controlled for (took away the effect
of) mattering.
While Table 2 depicts the significance of PSS in predicting PWB without mediated by mattering,
the Table 3 depicts the significance of the indirect effect of PSS in predicting PWB through PSS at different
levels of narcissism. As seen in Tables 2 and 3 suggested that when individuals feel they are supported by
others, they will feel they matter more, and therefore they will be mentally healthier, or psychologically
better. However, our finding also suggested that this premise does not work for individuals with moderate to
high narcissism. It can be explained that the trait narcissism might push one to be our results suggested that
the perception that one is socially supported significantly improves one’s mental health, or in this case,
represented by psychological wellbeing. This significant positive contribution of perceived social support had
been hypothesized in the early stage of our study and have been reported by many studies before [9], [13],
[18], [21].

3.2. Discussion
Our findings offered an unusual outcome where the total effect of the predictor on the outcome was
negative and only significant at the moderate level of moderator, the direct effect was also negative and only
significant at the low level of moderator, while the indirect effect of the predictor through the mediator is also
negative and only significant at the high level of moderator; the moderator variable, trait narcissism plays a
pivotal role in the interrelationship among the other three variables. These findings are not supported by the
sociometer theory, which implied that higher PSS predicts higher mattering that eventually predicts higher
PWB [11], neither did our findings confirm the findings of the previous studies which reported that mattering
and PSS contributed positively to PWB This different outcome might be due to the involvement of trait
narcissism. The presence of narcissism, and its interactions with the two sociometer variables in our study
had altered their dynamics with the outcome variable of PWB. Nevertheless, in all levels of narcissism, the
contribution of PSS is significantly negative as can be seen in Tables 2 and 3.
There are several possible explanations from a scientific perspective as to why individuals with
moderate to high narcissism trait might perceive that social support made them feel matter less. It is notable
that individual experiences and perceptions may vary, and not all individuals with narcissistic traits will
exhibit the same patterns of behavior or beliefs. Second, individuals with narcissistic traits often have fragile
self-esteem [32], which is highly dependent on external validation and praise. When they believe that they
are receiving social support, they may interpret it as an indication that they are incapable of handling their
problems on their own or that others perceive them as weak [31]. This perceived threat to their self-esteem
can lead to feelings of inadequacy or a diminished sense of self-importance. Third, narcissistic individuals
tend to have an inflated sense of self-importance and a belief in their exceptional abilities [27]. Hence, our
finding is supported by Fang et al [36], who stated that individuals with higher narcissism might prone to
depression as they fail to perceive social support well.
Furthermore, as narcissistic students often have a strong desire for control and independence.
Accepting social support from peers, educators, or parents may be viewed as a loss of control or a reliance on
others, which can be perceived as threatening [35]. Lack of empathy: narcissistic individuals typically have
limited empathy for others and struggle to understand or connect with their emotions. As a result, they may
be less attuned to the supportive efforts of others and may interpret them as insincere or manipulative. This
lack of empathy can hinder their ability to recognize and appreciate the positive impact of social support,
leading them to discount or dismiss its significance. Our study has several limitations, first, the cross-
sectional design that we employed limits us from knowing the effect of narcissism over time and across
different developmental stages of the participants. Second, our participants were all university students, and
therefore most of them refer to academic stress when it comes to the question of their PWB. This situation
might not be generalized to different population such as working adults or married couples, which might
have various sources of PWB. Third, we realize that our results indicated low-to-moderate prevalence and
prevalence changes (R² and R²chg), which means that other variables might play significant roles when they
are included in the equation, such as attachment styles, other personality traits, and even their demographic
variables. Therefore, it is highly suggested for the future research to include different variables as predictors
of PWB. Other research designs and data management methods are, such as qualitative and longitudinal
design are also suggested.
4. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, our study examined the role of trait narcissism in the perception of social support and
its impact on PWB among university students. We found that individuals with moderate to high levels of
narcissism did not perceive social support as a validation of their mattering to others. For instance, when
university students with high narcissistic traits received supportive messages from friends during challenging
times, they might interpret the support as a sign of weakness or insincerity, diminishing its positive impact on
their PWB. These findings emphasize the significance of mattering in the context of social support, as
individuals’ beliefs about their significance influence how they perceive and benefit from support,
particularly among university students with trait narcissistic.
