Many tertiary students do not complete all the steps of their tertiary education because they encounter difficulties in adjusting themselves to university life. The aim of this research was to determine the role of upbringing (by both father and mother) and the “college self-efficacy” (the self-confidence of the students in completing their study obligations) regarding college adjustment (CA) [US term] of first-year students of the Faculty of Technology of University X [name concealed], in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. 139 students were involved in this research, and completed an instrument to measure the research variables. The research data was processed, using regression analysis, to determine the contributions of patterns of upbringing and self-efficacy of the students, regarding college adjustment. Based upon the analysis conducted in the research, the results indicated that the parenting style and college self-efficacy generally had a role in the college adjustment of the student. However, the results more especially indicated that a pattern of permissive maternal upbringing had a significant negative contribution to their CA, and that college self-efficacy had a significant positive contribution to that CA. This paper then discusses the magnitude of the role of the parent, compared to the self-efficacy of the student in his or her achievements, when undertaking tertiary education.     Banyak mahasiswa tidak menyelesaikan jenjang sarjana karena mengalami hambatan penyesuaian diri di masa kuliah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui peran pola pengasuhan (ayah dan ibu) dan college self-efficacy (keyakinan diri mahasiswa menyelesaikan kewajiban studi) terhadap college adjustment (CA) mahasiswa Fakultas Teknik tahun pertama Universitas X Bandung. 139 mahasiswa tergabung dalam penelitian ini dan mengisi instrumen yang mengukur variabel penelitian. Data penelitian diolah dengan analisis regresi untuk menentukan kontribusi pola asuh dan keyakinan diri mahasiswa terhadap college adjustment. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini, hasil penelitian menunjukkan parenting style dan college self-efficacy secara umum berperan terhadap college adjustment mahasiswa. Akan tetapi, hasil lebih khusus menunjukkan pola asuh permisif ibu berkontribusi signifikan negatif terhadap CA, dan college self-efficacy berkontribusi signifikan positif terhadap CA. Tulisan ini kemudian membahas besaran peran orangtua apabila dibandingkan dengan keyakinan diri mahasiswa dalam keberhasilannya menempuh pendidikan tinggi.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of family cohesion, adaptability, and paternal self-efficacy in psychological well-being of fathers of children with and without disabilities and whether the effects of these variables on psychological well-being were the same for both groups of fathers. In addition, the potential differences in perceived well-being between the two groups of fathers were examined. Sixty-three fathers of children with disabilities and 217 fathers of typically developing children participated in this study. Fathers of children with disabilities scored significantly higher on the self-acceptance dimension of psychological well-being compared with fathers of children without disabilities. After controlling for the demographic factors, family cohesion and paternal self-efficacy significantly and positively predicted well-being of fathers; the effects of these variables on well-being were the same for both groups of fathers.

The self-concept, its importance has been widely investigated in different areas of knowledge and involved in numerous clinical situations, and is considered an entity in different vulnerable psychopathological disorders in women.We conducted a study aiming to identify some psychological characteristics that influence and / or predictors of self-concept in women, specifically, alexithymia and assertiveness. In this study, descriptive, correlational and cross, the instrument of data collection was composed of scales (validated in the Portuguese population); Self-concept Clinical Inventory (SCCI) Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS20) and Rathus Assertiveness Scale (RAS).The convenience sample consisted of 104 female students in the Bachelor of Nursing, aged between 18 and 35 years, mean age 19,32 years and standard deviation 1,7. The self-concept varied between 58 and 94 (minimum-maximum), with an mean of 74,06 and 72,00 of mode.Correlational study found that alexithymia (TAS20) (rho =−,426; p = ,000) and its factors: identifying feelings (F1-TAS20) (rho =−,270; p = ,006), describe feelings (F2-TAS20) (rho =−,392; p = ,000) and externally oriented thinking (F3-TAS20) (rho = ,372; p = ,000) correlated negatively and highly significantly with self-concept. Assertiveness correlated positively and highly significantly with self-concept (rho = ,412; p = ,000).Through hierarchical multiple regression predictor variables emerged as the self-concept: alexithymia (2,25%;p = ,000 negative contribution), assertiveness (2,64%; p = ,002 positive contribution) externally oriented thinking (2,92%; p = ,008 negative contribution).We conclude that the implementation of strategies which promote personal and social development and personal and social skills of women, particularly assertiveness and expression of emotions are essential to a better self-concept and consequently to the mental health of women.

The aim of this study is to predict career search self-efficacy. In this context, predictive variables are self-transcendence, self-consciousness and self-control and self-management. The research data obtained from 1278 university students. 786 (61.5%) were girls. Regression analysis and correlation analysis were used. According to the findings, it was determined that self- transcendence, self-control and self-management, social anxiety, appearance consciousness and internal self-awareness were significant predictors of career search self-efficacy. The strongest predictor is the variable self-transcendence. In this context, experimental interventions or psycho-educational programs based on these skills, which are related to the self, can be tested in order to increase career search self-efficacy.

The Relationship

Today, cybersecurity is a growing issue in our education society to ensure a safe teaching and learning process for teachers and students. Reports and studies demonstrated that teachers and students are moderately aware of the cybersecurity threat surrounding them that could affect the learning curve and other fatal impacts. This study aims to identify the role of self-efficacy in the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and environment behavior of cybersecurity awareness. The researchers used a correlational design with a quantitative approach by using a questionnaire instrument to collect data from teacher respondents. A total of 350 teachers in took part in this survey voluntarily, distributed using social media applications in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The researchers used the IBM SPSS Statistics to analyze the data descriptively and inferentially. The levels of knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and environment behavior of Malaysian school teachers towards cybersecurity awareness are low. Self-efficacy acts as a moderator in influencing the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and environment behavior of cybersecurity awareness. Strategies and programs need to be initiated by stakeholders to increase the self-efficacy of cybersecurity that could assist the positive change of environment behavior among teachers for teaching and learning benefit.

As the cohort of students in Australian universities become increasingly diverse, attention to ensuring their success is an emerging issue of social justice in tertiary education. Navigating transitions through the student journey is crucial to their success. Exploring and responding to the needs of a cohort of first-year students is the focus of this research. Using a participatory action approach, this project aimed to discover what is meaningful for first-year students, by exploring how students experienced the processes of admission, enrolment, commencement, and learning and teaching in two fast-track and one online health degrees. Nine students were partnered with nine academics for a six-month period. The analysis offers insights into equity issues in relation to the institution’s admission processes, the quality of support and engagement from academics to students when transitioning to university life, and how students find their ‘place’. Strategies to support the transition process for first-year students are identified and discussed.

Collaborative Activities

To acquire knowledge about student-mediated peer-to-peer collaborative activities, pre-service teachers’ perceptions of peer feedback are analyzed and categorized as receiver, provider, or cognitive feedback. A questionnaire of 15 survey questions concerning supportive feedback from peers was designed and validated using assessments from more than 200 pre-service teachers. The questionnaire was aligned with the activities promoting supportive feedback between pre-service teachers from three bachelor’s degrees at a tertiary education institution. Their perceptions were then quantified in terms of the peer feedback categories. While there were significant correlations between the scores for all 15 questions, real insights were produced when the highest correlations were analyzed. As such, being involved as both feedback providers and receivers was highly rated. The self-efficacy of pre-service teachers receiving feedback, (i.e., the extent to which peer instructional strategies and the selected learning tasks were cognitively challenging so as to improve receiver feedback), proved to be correlated with their perceptions of involvement, autonomy, and structure. Likewise, motivation for providing or receiving feedback was also closely correlated with the self-efficacy of pre-service teachers providing feedback. Finally, all three questions in the cognitive feedback category were highly correlated. The pre-service teachers were, thus, motivated to improve their learning and considered feedback as a useful task and as a way to strengthen their relationships with their peers.

Purpose With the rise of customer engagement in online products and services innovation, enterprises are seeking effective referral reward program (RRP) to encourage customers’ follow-up electronic-referral (e-referral) behaviors. Therefore, how to stimulate more customers to participate in the RRP is very important to enterprises. However, little empirical work has systemically investigated the impact of RRP on customers’ follow-up e-referral, as well as the moderating effects of customers’ characteristics. To fill those research gaps, the purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of RRP (particularly, reward amount and reward type) on customers’ follow-up e-referral, and the role of creative self-efficacy. Design/methodology/approach Based on the self-perception theory and the context of online customer innovation, this paper establishes a theoretical model and uses an experiment with 160 participants to test the hypotheses on the role of reward (amount and type) and the moderating effect of creative self-efficacy. Findings The results of the experiment suggest that both reward amount and reward type in RRP positively impact customers’ follow-up e-referral. Furthermore, customers’ creative self-efficacy moderates the relationship between rewards and customers’ follow-up e-referral. Customers with low creative self-efficacy, reward amount significantly stimulate their follow-up e-referral, but such effect is insignificant when customers’ creative self-efficacy is high. In terms of reward type, gift reward has more positive effect on customers’ follow-up e-referral when they have high (rather than low) creative self-efficacy, but cash reward has more positive effect on those with low (rather than high) creative self-efficacy. Originality/value First, based on the self-perception theory, the study clarifies the inconsistent relationship between reward and customers’ e-referral and contributes to related research. Second, the study broadens the existing research perspective by introducing creative self-efficacy, which shows interesting and powerful moderating effect but has been ignored in previous studies. Third, the study provides valuable advice on how enterprises design an effective RRP to enhance customers’ follow-up e-referral.
