Pengalaman Ibu Menjalani Homeschooling dalam Perspektif Psikologi Islam: Studi Ipa
(2026-09-26) Sari, Windy Anita
This study aims to explore and understand how Muslim mothers make meaning of their experiences of homeschooling from the perspective of Islamic Psychology. It focuses on the emotional and spiritual experiences of mothers, how they make sense of these experiences, and how homeschooling is understood as a responsibility (amanah) and an act of worship to Allah. This study used a qualitative approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to understand the participants' personal experiences. The participants were four Muslim mothers who were directly involved in caring for and educating their elementary school-aged homeschooled children. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews and analyzed using the IPA process, starting from initial notes to the development of themes across all participants. The findings show that Muslim mothers' experiences of homeschooling are complex and connected. The decision to choose homeschooling was based on the unique needs of the child, family values, and deep reflection on the fitrah (natural disposition) of education. In practice, homeschooling was understood as a holistic educational process that focuses not only on academic achievement but also on character development and learning through everyday life. The homeschooling experience also led to personal growth. Mothers learned to accept their own limitations, improve their abilities, and continue developing themselves while carrying out their roles. This process took place within supportive family relationships, where family members worked together, communicated openly, and shared common values. Throughout this experience, spirituality became the main foundation. Mothers viewed homeschooling as fulfilling an amanah from Allah, recognized their own limitations, and relied on Allah throughout the parenting process. This study concludes that, for Muslim mothers, homeschooling is not only an educational choice but also a spiritual journey and a process of personal growth in carrying out their responsibilities before Allah. Homeschooling provides an opportunity for tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul) and the practice of ubudiyah (servitude and devotion to Allah) in everyday family life.
Peran Religiusitas Islami sebagai Moderator dalam Hubungan Antara Kontrol Diri dan Kepatuhan Tata Tertib Sekolah pada Siswa
(2026-09-26) Syifaunnadia
This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-control and compliance with school regulations and to investigate whether Islamic religiosity moderates this relationship. Compliance with school regulations is an important indicator of students' character development. However, various forms of violations of school regulations are still found, indicating that students' self-control and the internalization of religious values have not yet developed optimally. Therefore, this study sought to explain the relationship between self-control and compliance with school regulations and to examine whether Islamic religiosity strengthens this relationship. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational research design. The participants consisted of 176 students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al-Falak, Bogor City, selected through a convenience sampling technique. The research instruments included the Self-Control Scale developed based on the dimensions proposed by Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone (2004), the School Rules Compliance Scale developed based on Kelman's (1958) theory of compliance, and the Islamic Religiosity Scale based on the dimensions proposed by Ancok and Suroso (2011). All research instruments met the required standards of validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, regression assumption tests, and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with IBM SPSS Statistics version 29 and Hayes' PROCESS Macro version 4.2. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between self-control and compliance with school regulations (β = 0.4409; t = 6.2811; p < .001). In addition, Islamic religiosity showed a significant positive relationship with compliance with school regulations (β = 0.8037; t = 9.1902; p < .001). The moderation analysis indicated that Islamic religiosity significantly moderated the relationship between self control and compliance with school regulations (β = 0.0242; ΔR² = 0.0109; F = 4.1553; p = .0430). These findings suggest that the higher the students' level of Islamic religiosity, the stronger the relationship between self-control and compliance with school regulations. The proposed model explained 54.78% of the variance in compliance with school regulations (R² = 0.5478). The findings provide theoretical implications by demonstrating that Islamic religiosity is not only associated with compliance with school regulations but also functions as a moderating variable that strengthens the relationship between self control and compliance with school regulations. From the perspective of Islamic Psychology, these findings suggest that the development of self-control should be integrated with the enhancement of Islamic religiosity through strengthening faith, moral character, and religious practices, so that compliance with school regulations develops as an expression of moral and spiritual awareness rather than mere obedience to formal rules.
Self-Compassion sebagai Mediator Antara Spiritual Struggles dan Psychological Well-Being pada Muslim Dewasa
(2026-09-26) Ghufron, Salma Nuha
Spiritual struggle defined as tension, conflict, or distress regarding matters deemed sacred by an individual is a common experience among religious populations, including adult Muslims in Indonesia. With a recorded Muslim population of 245.97 million (87.08% of the total population), Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world. While various longitudinal and cross sectional studies consistently link spiritual struggle to poor psychological adjustment, the psychological mechanisms explaining this relationship have primarily been examined in Western, predominantly Christian samples, leaving the experiences of Muslim-majority populations underrepresented. Self compassion, the tendency to treat oneself kindly when facing suffering or failure has proven to be a strong predictor of psychological well-being; however, it has rarely been tested as a mediator linking spiritual struggle to psychological well being, particularly from an Islamic psychology perspective. Therefore, this study aims to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between spiritual struggle and psychological well-being among adult Muslims in Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a non-experimental correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 290 Indonesian Muslim adults aged 18 40, recruited via an online survey using convenience sampling. Data analysis was conducted using linear regression and Hayes’ PROCESS Macro (Model 4) with a bootstrapping method (5,000 resamples) to test the direct relationships and the proposed mediation model. The results indicate that spiritual struggle has a significant negative effect on both psychological well-being and self-compassion. Self-compassion, in turn, has a significant positive effect on psychological well being, even after controlling for spiritual struggle and significantly mediates the relationship between the two (partial mediation, with a mediation proportion of 78.8%). These findings suggest that self-compassion serves as a key psychological mechanism explaining the process by which spiritual struggle diminishes psychological well-being, rather than the impact being merely a direct, isolated effect independent of this internal process. This study extends the study of self compassion into the framework of Islamic psychology while providing an xxiii empirical foundation for the development of self-compassion-based Islamic counseling interventions for Muslim adults experiencing spiritual struggles.
Peran Islamic Religious Coping terhadap Academic Hardiness Dimediasi oleh Stres Akademik pada Mahasiswa
(2026-10-26) Ristania, Ridha
This research is motivated by the high academic pressure faced by final-year students, including obstacles in completing final projects, course loads, field internships, and expectations for optimal achievement. These conditions can affect students' ability to maintain academic hardiness. In facing academic pressure, students require adaptive coping strategies, one of which is Islamic religious coping This study aims to analyze the role of of Islamic religious coping in strengthening students' academic hardiness through the mediation of the academic stress variable. A quantitative approach was applied using a mediated regression analysis design. Using a convenience sampling technique, a sample of 203 active Muslim students in semesters 6–8, within the developmental age range of 18–25 years, was obtained. Data were collected through an online Likert-scale questionnaire. The interaction model positioned Islamic religious coping as the independent variable, academic stress as the mediating variable (mediator), and academic hardiness as the dependent variable. Data computation utilized SPSS software equipped with Andrew F. Hayes' PROCESS Macro Model 4 installation using a bootstrapping procedure The results showed that Islamic religious coping had a significant negative role in academic stress (β = -0.35; p < 0.001), academic stress had a significant negative role in academic hardiness (β = -0.32; p < 0.001), and Islamic religious coping had a significant positive role in academic hardiness (β = 0.45; p < 0.001). Furthermore, academic stress was found to partially mediate the role of Islamic religious coping on academic hardiness (indirect effect = 0.11; BootLLCI = 0.06; BootULCI = 0.18). These findings indicate that the higher the Islamic religious coping, the lower the academic stress and the higher the academic hardiness among students. This study provides an empirical contribution to the development of educational psychology and Islamic psychology, and serves as a basis for designing interventions grounded in Islamic values to enhance students' academic hardiness.
Studi Fenomenologi tentang Makna Ketaqwaan dalam Membangun Kepuasan Pernikahan pada Pasangan yang Belum Memiliki Anak
(2026-08-26) Adaninggar, Reswari
A successful marriage is primarily defined by the presence of children in Indonesia's pronatalist culture. As a result, Muslim married couples who have been childless for over five years frequently face social, psychological, and spiritual pressures that might lower their happiness with their union. Despite these difficulties, some couples are able to maintain positive and fulfilling marriage ties. The goal of this research was to examine the meaning of taqwa (God-consciousness) in raising marital happiness among Muslim married couples who had been together for more than five years and did not have children.A descriptive phenomenological design was utilized in this qualitative study.Based on predetermined inclusion criteria, participants were chosen using purposive sampling. Through semi-structured in-depth interviews, member checking, source triangulation with important others, and an audit trail, data were gathered to guarantee the study's trustworthiness, dependability, and confirmability. Descriptive phenomenological methods such as epoche (bracketing), horizontalization, the formulation of meaning units, thematic clustering, textural description, structural description, and the synthesis of the essence of the phenomenon were used to analyze the data.According to the findings, taqwa was seen as a life orientation in which childlessness was viewed as part of Allah's divine decree, which had both purpose and wisdom. Forgiveness, empathetic communication, equitable role sharing, patience, thankfulness, trust in Allah (tawakkul), and a shared commitment to considering marriage as an act of worship were all examples of taqwa. The core of the occurrence showed how taqwa converted the social stresses related to childlessness into a process of spiritual development that increased marital contentment through emotional and spiritual intimacy, mutual commitment, acceptance of Allah's divine decree, and the shared interpretation of married life.
