Music has been a part of everyday human life since ancient times. Music can influence how humans feel, think, and behave. Scientific evidence also shows that there is a neurobiological basis of music. The universality of music makes everyone able to sense the emotional content in music. However, music is a product of culture so it can not be separated from cultural bias. Music is considered as a determinant of social identity. Furthermore, music influences social preferences in society. Music with certain types is considered as a marker of the group so that there is a stereotype in assessing a group. The benefits of music can be obtained in various settings such as in education and health setting. Future studies, it is necessary to review music from different perspectives such as culture, psychology, and neurobiology to be more comprehensive in order to explain the influences of music in human life.
This study identified factors that contribute to adolescents' online trust. Two hypotheses are stated: (1) there is a significant influence of social loneliness and self-esteem toward self-disclosure; and (2) social support has a significant influence toward online trust, with self-disclosure as a mediator. 205 high school students completed a survey covering four self-rated scales: online trust, self-disclosure, social support, and loneliness. Each scale met the psychometric standards of validity and reliability. Data was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings confirmed both hypotheses. The Goodness of Fit as indicated by a chi-square coefficient of 345.06 (p = .00); RMSEA: .04; CFI: .98; and TLI: .98, exceeded the set criteria. The main determinant of the direct effect of social trust and online trust model (β = .35**) was self-disclosure, a mediator on the effect of social support toward online trust (β = .05). The variables which directly influenced self-disclosure were loneliness (β = -.31**), self-esteem (β = .14), and social support (β = .24**).
This study aimed to investigate whether trait rumination has a role in individual's structure of current affect, specifically on valence and arousal dimension. Within-subject experiment design was used as a study design which involved eighty-one undergraduate students of Department of Psychology, Universitas Brawijaya as participants. Images from International Affective Picture System (IAPS) were used to evoke participant's affect and measured by Self Assessment Manikin's (SAM) rating while trait rumination was measured using Ruminative Response Scale (RRS). Statistical analysis using one-way repeated measures ANOVA technique found that trait rumination has a significant role in participant's structure of current affect on relation between valence stimulus and rating valence (F=5.276, p<0.01) but has no role on relation between arousal stimulus and rating arousal (F=0.753, p>0.05).
Twitter as a social media has become increasingly used, including by its use by each Presidential candidate's stronghold to launch a campaign to influence prospective voters' electoral decisions in the 2019 Presidential Election in Indonesia. One strategy used in such a campaign on Twitter was by disseminating hashtags that were expected to become trending topics on Twitter. The dissemination of these hashtags aimed to build political rhetoric that can influence prospective voters' electoral decisions. Thus, this study sought to explore the patterns of hashtags disseminated by each candidate's stronghold to build political rhetoric and find out public sentiments in the posted Twitter contents. The number of tweets with #Jokowi2Periode and #2019GantiPresiden hashtags during the period of the 2019 Indonesian presidential and vice-presidential debates that were successfully downloaded using MAXQDA 18.1.1 software was 92,276. The research findings revealed that the distribution pattern of the #Jokowi2Periode hashtag tended to be more scattered (decentralized) by relying on the actor's presentation and the actor's speed in responding to tweets. In contrast, the spread of the #2019GantiPresiden hashtag was more centralized by relying on communication channels on Twitter. These two distribution patterns are discussed with the perspective of cyber psychology, through cuesfiltered-in and cues-filtered-out theories.
Infidelity in marriage is a complex process. People have different reasons for deciding to have a relationship outside of marriage. This study aims to investigate the reasons of married women for having marital infidelity and explore the risk factors that cause it. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with phenomenology as the method. Three women who have had marital infidelity are willing to be subjects in this study. Data was collected by using open interview and observation methods. As a result, failed conflict resolution, different communication styles, low-quality time, low intimacy, unfulfilled expectations from partners, and the absence of protective factors are factors that cause women to have an affair.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
