Life Satisfaction Among E-Sport Athletes: A Quantitative Descriptive Study

Utami Femina Sari Budiman, Angel, Elizabeth Zega, Fonny, Rizla Humairo, Alifia
Abstract: E-sport, a rapidly growing competitive field, offers promising career opportunities for many individuals. However, the intense training regimens, isolation from broader social interactions, and performance pressures can… significantly impact the life satisfaction of E-Sport athletes. This study aims to describe the life satisfaction levels among E-Sport athletes. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 100 E-Sport athletes. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) based on Diener's (1984) theory, comprising 26 valid items with a reliability coefficient of 0.933, was utilized as the measurement tool. Results indicate that 57% of athletes reported high life satisfaction. Specifically, 80.6% had high satisfaction with future life, whereas 60% had low satisfaction with their past life. Early adult male E-Sport athletes with incomes between 5,000,000 - 7,000,000 IDR and greater than 10,000,000 IDR, training for 16-24 hours, and participating in over 10 tournaments had higher life satisfaction. Conversely, athletes earning 3,000,000 - 5,000,000 IDR, training for 10-15 hours, and participating in fewer than eight tournaments reported lower life satisfaction.

The Influence of Emotional Regulation on Academic Resilience in Students Who Are Working on Their Thesis

Budi Prasetyo, Fauzi, Nur’Aini, Aulia, Sarah Febriani, Anggia
Abstract: This study aims to determine the role of emotion regulation on academic resilience in 10th, 12th, and 14th semester students who are working on an undergraduate thesis. The research method used is quantitative, employing… multiple regression analysis techniques to analyze the data. The instruments used in this study include the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) scale, developed by Gross and John (2003), to measure emotion regulation, and The Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30), developed by Cassidy (2016), to measure academic resilience. The results of the study reveal that there is a significant positive effect of cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation on academic resilience among students in their 10th, 12th, and 14th semesters who are working on their thesis, accounting for 27.1% of the variance in academic resilience. This finding suggests that students who engage in cognitive reappraisal, a strategy that involves reinterpreting a situation to change its emotional impact, are more likely to demonstrate resilience in the face of academic challenges. In contrast, the study found no significant effect of expressive suppression emotion regulation on academic resilience in the same group of students. Expressive suppression, which involves inhibiting the outward expression of emotions, does not appear to contribute to the ability of students to remain resilient while working on their thesis. These findings highlight the importance of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in fostering academic resilience among students, particularly during challenging academic tasks such as thesis completion.

Ace Up One's Sleeve: A Systematic Communicative Review of Journalistic Media Dominance in Shaping the Contemporary Political Landscape

Siregar, Rahman, Saragih, Muhammad Yoserizal
Abstract: This article aims to analyze the role of journalistic media in shaping the contemporary political landscape, focusing on its ability to manipulate and direct public opinion and policy. Considering the media's dominance in… n agenda setting, this study highlights the urgency of understanding its broad influence on democracy and public policy. Journalistic media, which has transformed from a passive information provider to an active opinion shaper, plays a crucial role in this fast-paced and widespread information era. Therefore, a deep understanding of how media shapes political narratives is essential to maintaining the integrity of the democratic process. The methodology used in this research is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves the collection and analysis of data from previously published sources to build a comprehensive understanding of the media's role in politics. This approach allows for the identification of trends, challenges, and the broader impact of media on politics. Additionally, this study employs theoretical analysis by combining Media Dependency Theory and Agenda Setting Theory to examine how public dependence on media and media's power in setting the agenda influence political dynamics. The results of the study indicate that media often leverages its strategic position to direct public opinion, which can significantly impact election outcomes and public policy. The high public dependence on media for information makes the media a powerful tool in shaping the political agenda, often benefiting media owners or specific interest groups. Based on the findings and discussion, this article recommends the need for stricter media oversight and increased media literacy among the public to reduce bias and ensure that the media plays its role as an effective watchdog rather than a biased opinion shaper. These recommendations aim to support policies that promote transparency and integrity in journalism, ensuring that the media can continue to be a pillar of healthy democracy without compromising objectivity or accountability.

Fahirah, Raisah, Ritonga, Muhammad Husni
Abstract: This study aims to understand the impact of digital content proliferation on the information consumption behaviour of Communication Science students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UIN-SU). The development… ent of information and communication technology has fundamentally changed the media landscape, shifting focus from conventional media to digital platforms such as social media, online news sites, and blogs. This phenomenon has broadened access to various types of content, challenging students to navigate, evaluate, and utilise information effectively. Amidst the increasing volume and diversity of information sources, Communication Science students, as adaptive and active technology users, often face challenges in distinguishing between accurate information and misinformation, which can significantly influence their opinion formation and behaviour. Adopting a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, this study integrates the Uses and Effects analysis to deepen the understanding of how daily interactions with mass media affect students. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation from March to May 2024, exploring how students select, process, and use digital information in their daily lives. The findings indicate that students tend to prioritise visual and interactive content but often get trapped in filter bubbles that affect their understanding and attitudes towards important issues. Therefore, this study highlights the need for more integrated media literacy education in the curriculum to equip students with the critical skills necessary to handle the complexity of information in the digital era. Further discussion of these findings is expected to provide valuable insights for the development of future educational and communication strategies.

The data obtained was processed using Pearson's Parametric Test of Correlation calculations in IBM… M SPSS Statistics 20. The results of this study show a contribution value of -0.617, which means there is a negative relationship between career maturity and anxiety about facing the world of work. This can be interpreted as the higher the career maturity, the lower the anxiety in facing the world of work. On the other hand, the lower the career maturity, the higher the anxiety about facing the world of work. This research also found that factors such as social support, work experience, and education level play a significant role in influencing an individual's career maturity and anxiety level. The implications of these findings suggest the need for more intensive career guidance programs and psychological support for individuals newly entering the workforce to reduce their anxiety levels. Thus, developing career maturity not only impacts individuals' readiness to face work challenges, but also contributes to their psychological well-being.

Geusan Akbar, Gugun
Abstract: This study aims to understand public interest and awareness of the circular economy in Indonesia by analyzing Google Trends search volumes for keywords over the past five years, from 2017 to 2022: "Waste Recycling," "Circular… cular Economy," "Waste Management," and "Waste Reduction." Data analysis shows that "Waste Recycling" consistently has the highest and most stable search volume, especially in regions such as South Sulawesi, North Kalimantan, and West Sulawesi, indicating successful local campaigns. In contrast, "Circular Economy" has significantly lower search volumes, even in metropolitan areas, suggesting that this concept is relatively new. Interest in "Waste Management" varies, with higher volumes in South East Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara, and Central Sulawesi, highlighting the importance of waste management but also the need for better policy and infrastructure support. "Waste Reduction" has the lowest search volume, indicating the need for intensive educational efforts. Geographical analysis shows significant regional differences, with high-interest areas serving as education centers and low-interest areas needing targeted interventions. This study underscores the necessity for robust educational campaigns, supportive policies, and stakeholder collaboration to enhance the adoption of circular economy practices. These insights inform policy development and the design of effective educational campaigns for environmental sustainability in Indonesia

The Relationship between Self-Compassion and Prosocial Behavior in Late Adolescents in DKI Jakarta

Putri Amara, Keisha, Bellarosa Yosza, Amearah, Lamria Lisbet Naibaho, Naomi
Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship between self-compassion and prosocial behavior in late adolescents in DKI Jakarta. The researcher employed a quantitative approach and utilized purposive sampling to select 400… 00 subjects aged 18-21 years who lived in DKI Jakarta. Data were collected using the Prosocial Behavior Scale (PBS) and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). The data processing involved hypothesis testing through the Pearson correlation test. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between self-compassion and prosocial behavior, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.107 and a p-value of 0.032, which is less than the significance level of 0.05. These findings suggest that higher levels of self-compassion are associated with greater prosocial behavior in late adolescents in this region. This research highlights the importance of fostering self-compassion as a potential means to enhance prosocial behavior among adolescents. Given the cultural context of DKI Jakarta, where communal values and social harmony are emphasized, self-compassion may play a crucial role in promoting positive social interactions and behaviors. Future studies could further explore the underlying mechanisms of this relationship and consider interventions to cultivate self-compassion in adolescents to support their social development and well-being.
