Students' Adaptive Behavior in Adjusting to Academic and Social Demans

2026-06-15T15:58:04+08:00

Students’ adaptive behavior refers to their ability to respond appropriately to academic and social demands in school. This ability supports academic success and character development. In the Sambas Malay context, adaptive behavior reflects local wisdom values such as politeness, responsibility, rule obedience, and respectful social interaction. These values provide an important foundation for shaping students’ attitudes at school. This study aimed to analyze students’ adaptive behavior at SMA Negeri 1 Paloh as a basis for planning guidance and counseling services. The study used a survey design with an analytical approach. Participants were grade X students with less optimal adaptive behavior tendencies. Data were collected through questionnaires, supported by observations and interviews with guidance and counseling teachers and homeroom teachers. Descriptive analysis showed that students’ adaptive behavior was in the low category. These findings indicate the need for structured, continuous support through mindfulness-based guidance and counseling integrated with Sambas Malay local wisdom. This approach is expected to strengthen self-awareness, emotional regulation, responsibility, and sustainable adjustment in school life for all students.

Perzinahan atau zina merupakan perilaku seksual di luar ikatan pernikahan yang sah dalam Islam dikategorikan sebagai dosa besar dengan konsekuensi hukum dan spiritual yang serius. Di luar dimensi normatif agama, kajian psikologi kontemporer secara konsisten menunjukkan bahwa zina menghasilkan dampak psikologis yang signifikan, baik bagi pelaku maupun korban. Artikel ini menyajikan tinjauan literatur dan mensintesis bagaimana teori-teori psikologi utama menjelaskan fenomena zina dan konsekuensi psikologisnya. Teori yang digunakan mencakup: Teori Trauma Relasional (Herman, 1992), Teori Disonansi Kognitif (Festinger, 1957), Teori Emosi Moral (Haidt, 2003; Tangney et al., 2007). Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), Teori Koping Religius (Pargament, 1997), Teori Kontrol Diri (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990), dan Teori Kelekatan (Bowbly, 1965). Hasil sintesis menunjukkan bahwa: (1) zina memicu trauma psikologis yang sebanding dengan PTSD; (2) guilt dan shame muncul sebagai respons emosi moral universal yang menjadi sinyal kesadaran moral; (3) religiusitas tinggi berfungsi sebagai faktor protektif terkuat; (4) dalam konteks masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa perintah Al-Qur’an untuk menjauhi zina memiliki basis wisdom psikologis yang mendalam guna melindungi jiwa (hifdz al-nafs) dan keturunan (hifdz al-nasl) sebagai bagian dari maqasid al-syari’ah.

2026-06-17T12:01:43+08:00

Abstract

Dark jokes or dark humor is a form of humor that raises sensitive themes such as death, trauma, and loss. From a psychological perspective, dark humor is not only understood as a joke, but also as an individual's way of dealing with emotional distress and grief experiences. This study aims to examine the use of dark jokes from a psychological perspective, especially related to coping mechanisms, emotion regulation, and defense mechanisms. The research uses the Systematic Literature Review method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the search of various scientific articles and relevant academic sources. The results of the study show that dark humor has an ambiguous psychological function. On the one hand, dark humor can help individuals reduce emotional distress, create emotional distance, and maintain psychological stability when dealing with loss. However, on the other hand, dark humor can also be maladaptive when used in the form of verbal aggressiveness or excessive emotional avoidance. Therefore, the use of dark jokes is influenced by the individual's psychological state, social context, and the purpose of using humor itself.
