This article aims to explain the perceptions and behavior of Moslem scholars (ulama/kiai) on the coast of Central Java toward Islamic banks. It is unassailable that finding out the kiai’s perception and behavior toward Islamic banks becomes unavoidable because the kiai occupies a very important position in the social structure as an agent of social change. In order to have an approriate understanding toward the perception and behavior, this study used qualitative-phenomenological approach. The main source of primary data were obtained from the kiai in Pekalongan region by using purposive sampling technique. Indepth-interview as the prominent method in gaining data was reinforced by observation method. To get validity of data, internal and external validity were performed. The former was taken through four stages, namely triangulation, emic process, member checking and prolonged time; and the latter through transferability. Data were analyzed inductively through three cronological steps, e.i. data reduction, display and conclusion drawing. Based on the perceptions and behavior of scholars toward Islamic banks, this study concludes that there are three categories of kiai. The first is an idealist compromise (kompromis-idealis) which argues that Islamic banks do not fully comply with sharia compliance yet, the use of Islamic banks is compulsory and conventional banks are not substitutes for Islamic banks. The second is a realistic compromise (kompromis realistis) which infers that Islamic banks are not fully accordance with sharia commpliance, the use of Islamic banks is not mandatory, but conventional banks are not substitutes for Islamic banks. The third is resistance (resisten) which argues that Islamic banks are not much different from conventional banks, so making use of Islamic bank is not obligation, and conventional banks substitute Islamic banks.

The purpose of this study is to find out how to adjust to adolescents who have to face the divorce of their parents, find out the impact of parental divorce for adolescents, and also understand how the psychological dynamics of the research subjects. The subjects in this study were two adolescents who fulfilled the predetermined research subject criteria, namely facing divorce from parents and taken with a purposive sampling technique. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological method. The results of this study indicate that all research subjects develop poor relationships outside the home, difficulty in getting along due to hampered social adjustment. Divorce of parents also raises a lot of anxiety and frustration in adolescents and reduce academic achievement in school. In addition, divorce that occurs in parents also makes children build feelings of being hurt, neglected, and betrayed by their parents. However, there seems to be a quite striking difference regarding the development of adjustment that occurs in each subject. One subject showed a better adjustment. This condition seems influenced by his ability to apply coping stress appropriately, namely trying to accept the divorce of parents and not thinking about the divorce (emotional focused coping). In addition, the parents of the subject also did not show conflict in front of their children despite the divorce. Keywords: Adjusment, Divorce of Parent, Adults   Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan bagaimana penyesuaian diri pada remaja yang harus menghadapi perceraian orang tuanya, mengetahui dampak dari perceraian orang tua bagi remaja, dan juga memahami bagaimana dinamika psikologis dari para subjek penelitian. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah dua remaja yang memenuhi kriteria subjek penelitian yang telah ditentukan yaitu menghadapi perceraian orang tua dan diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif fenomenologi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa seluruh subjek penelitian mengembangkan hubungan yang buruk di luar rumah, kesulitan bergaul karena penyesuaian sosial yang terhambat. Perceraian orang tua juga memunculkan banyak kecemasan dan frustrasi pada diri remaja serta menurunkan prestasi akademik di sekolah. Selain itu, Perceraian yang terjadi pada orang tua juga membuat anak membangun perasaan telah disakiti, diabaikan, dan dikhianati oleh orang tua mereka. Namun demikian, tampak adanya perbedaan yang cukup mencolok mengenai perkembangan penyesuaian diri yang terjadi pada tiap subjek. Salah satu subjek memperlihatkan adanya penyesuaian diri yang lebih baik. Kondisi tersebut tampaknya dipengaruhi oleh kemampuannya menerapkan coping stress yang tepat yaitu berusaha menerima perceraian orang tua dan tidak memikirkan perceraian tersebut (emotional focused coping).

Predominantly, a school provides pedagogical support to its students, though perceptions about the school’s internal environment can incessantly influence a student’s aggregated learning experience. The present study aims to investigate the impact of the campus environment on students’ study engagement and the roles of self-concept clarity and intentional self-regulation on this association. A hypothetical model about the relationship between campus perception, self-concept clarity, intentional self-regulation, and study engagement was tested. A total of 1597 students from Gansu Province, China, selected through a convenience sampling technique, were surveyed utilizing self-rated scales. Data were collected utilizing the Study Engagement Scale, Perceptions of School Climate Scale, Intentional Self-Regulation Scale and Self-Concept Clarity Scale. Results showed lower to moderate positive correlations between study variables. Students’ campus environment perceptions positively predicted adolescents’ study engagement. This association was also mediated by self-concept clarity and intentional self-regulation. All of these factors explained 41.26% variability of the study engagement. These findings show how the learning environment can impact students. Specifically, these results help demonstrate that self-concept clarity and intentional self-regulation have academic importance to optimize students’ study engagement that in turn promotes quality learning.
