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.

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.

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.
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.

or maturing into adulthood. This stage encompasses various dimensions, including mental, emotional, social, and physical maturity (Hurlock, 1980:206). Punk, as an ideology of rebellion and anti-establishment, encompasses diverse characteristics among its members, allowing a group to secure its identity and the unique traits of the punk community. In "Philosophy of Punk," Craig O'Hara (in Aini, 2010:26) mentions three definitions of Punk. This research aims to explore the decision-making processes and identity formation within the punk community. Utilizing a descriptive survey method with a quantitative approach, data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire. The technique of data analysis involved categorizing the respondents' answers, assigning numerical codes, and then entering them into a codebook. The findings revealed that punk community members rely on collective decision-making and shared values to reinforce their identity. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of adolescence and subcultural identity, contributing to a broader understanding of youth cultures.

self-efficacy predicts readiness for change among digital enterprise employees. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey design. The sample comprised 106 digital enterprise employees. Data were collected using a 25-item Readiness to Change Questionnaire and a 10-item General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) instrument. The validity test utilized content and construct validity, ensuring the instruments accurately measure the intended constructs. The reliability test, using Cronbach's Alpha, ranged from 0.592 to 0.955, indicating varying levels of internal consistency, while the reliability of the measurement model (inner model) ranged from 0.773 to 0.961, suggesting high reliability. The results of the hypothesis testing show that (1) self-efficacy is a significant predictor of readiness for change, with a predictive relevance of 30%; (2) self-efficacy significantly influences the appropriateness dimension, with an effective contribution of 47.1%; (3) self-efficacy is a significant predictor of the management support dimension, with an effective contribution of 46%; (4) self-efficacy significantly predicts the change efficacy dimension, with an effective contribution of 47.9%; (5) however, self-efficacy is not a significant predictor of personal benefits. These findings underscore the importance of self-efficacy in enhancing employees' readiness for change within digital enterprises. Companies should focus on boosting employees' self-efficacy to improve their adaptability and effectiveness in the face of digital transformation. By recognizing and fostering the key dimensions influenced by self-efficacy, organizations can better support their workforce during periods of change. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of psychological factors that facilitate successful change management in the digital era.
