Vocational High School (SMK) is a work-oriented education where graduates are directed to be ready to work and have competitive and comparative advantages. However, the facts on the ground show that vocational students are not optimal in mastering soft skill competencies, so they are not fully ready to enter the world of work due to the lack of relevance of understanding about soft skills between the industrial world and the world of education needed by the world of work. Based on the urgency of the need for soft skills in the world of work, Kantrowitz developed a soft skill measurement instrument, namely Soft skills Performance Measurement (SSPM) using seven soft skill components, but the team modified it according to the characteristics of vocational students into six components including: (1) interpersonal skills , (2) organizational/leadership skills, (3) performance management skills, (4) cultural/political skills, (5) communication/persuasive skills, and (6) self-management skills. The method of implementing this community service activity follows the approach of Vincent II, J. W by modifying the stages of the activity starting from team formation, formulation of goals, identification of stakeholders, needs analysis, priority determination of problem solutions, preparation, implementation, mentoring, review and evaluation. The results of the activity showed that students had soft skill profiles that were at a fairly good level of achievement. The achievement of students' soft skills is a supporting factor in entering the world of work apart from their hard skills.

Introduction: COVID-19 affects lifestyles, including those of undergraduate students who are one of the most vulnerable populations. This study aimed to describe changes in lifestyle-related behaviors and assess the correlation between the perceived risk of COVID-19, social support, perceived stress, and lifestyle changes among undergraduate students during the pandemic. Design and methods: A total of 547 students from 32 provinces in Indonesia completed online questionnaires comprising four measures: perceived risk of COVID-19, the Lifestyle-related Behavior Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Pandemic-related Perceived Stress Scale. Results: Undergraduate students who lived with their families had healthier lifestyles than students who lived alone ( p = 0.007). Furthermore, The Pearson’s correlation showed a significant correlation between lifestyle changes with perceived severity ( r = 0.107; p < 0.05), social support ( r = 0.237; p < 0.001and pandemic-related stress ( r = −0.304, p < 0.001). Higher perceived severity of COVID-19 and social support were associated with a healthier lifestyle, whereas increased stress correlated with a less healthy lifestyle. Conclusion: Psychological factors correlated with lifestyle changes of Indonesian undergraduate students during the pandemic. Therefore, psychological aspects should be more considered by relatives and institutions to ensure healthier lifestyles of students.

Popularitas internet telah mengembangkan suatu jenis volunteering baru yaitu online volunteering yang telah menarik antusiasme selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Namun, masih sedikit penelitian yang membahas fenomena ini berdasarkan teori psikologi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki faktor-faktor yang memprediksi partisipasi individu dalam online volunteering dengan menggunakan Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Selain variabel standar TPB (sikap, norma subjektif, dan persepsi kontrol perilaku), identifikasi nasional, norma moral, dan perilaku masa lalu juga dimasukkan ke dalam model penelitian. Sejumlah 208 partisipan yang pernah terlibat online volunteering atau tertarik dengan aktivitas tersebut direkrut untuk mengisi tujuh alat ukur secara daring. Analisis regresi hierarki menunjukkan bahwa semua variabel, kecuali identifikasi nasional, memprediksi intensi untuk terlibat dalam kegiatan online volunteering secara signifikan sebesar 62,8%. Selain itu, norma subjektif merupakan prediktor yang lebih kuat untuk memprediksi intensi dibandingkan dengan variabel lain. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya faktor kognitif dan normatif dalam memengaruhi intensi individu untuk berpartisipasi pada online volunteering. Implikasi dan saran untuk penelitian selanjutnya akan didiskusikan.

Academic resilience becomes an important psychological factor that can help first-year undergraduate students in facing various challenges in the early period of university. Some researchers reported that self-efficacy has a role in the formation of resilience in individuals. The present study attempted to investigate the role of academic self-efficacy in academic resilience among the first-year undergraduate students. A total of 400 students (61.75% female) in Universitas Andalas were recruited as research subjects through the purposive sampling technique. Measures used in the study were the Academic Resilience Scale-30 (ARS-30) adapted from Cassidy (2016) and the Academic Self-efficacy Scale was constructed based on the theory of Bandura (1997). The simple linear regression analysis results showed that academic self-efficacy had a significant and positive effect on academic resilience by about 60.2%. Therefore, the level of academic self-efficacy among first-year undergraduate students had an important role in increasing the level of academic resilience in facing the university life. In addition, the current study also found that students in this research had a moderate level of academic self-efficacy and academic resilience.
