  From Wounds to Self-Worth: Understanding the Psychological Link Between Self-Esteem and Self-Harm Among Students

  ×

  Self-harming behavior has become an important mental health concern among adolescents and is frequently associated with various psychological factors, including self-esteem. This study aimed to examine the effect of self-esteem on self-harm among junior high school students and to identify its implications for school guidance and counseling services. A quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was employed involving 214 Grade VIII students from SMPN 14 Bekasi, Indonesia, who were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using researcher-developed self-esteem and self-harm questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.  The findings revealed a significant negative effect of self-esteem on self-harm (β = -0.415, p < .001), indicating that students with higher self-esteem were less likely to engage in self-harming behavior. Self-esteem explained 31.6% of the variance in self-harm, suggesting that additional psychological and environmental factors may also contribute to adolescents' self-harming behavior. These findings highlight the protective role of self-esteem in reducing self-harm among adolescents and provide empirical support for the development of school-based counseling interventions that strengthen students' self-esteem and adaptive coping skills as part of preventive mental health programs.

  Self-Confidence and Hedonism : Identifying The Social Behavior of Junior High School Student

  ×

  The purpose of this study is to determine the self-confidence profile of students at SMPN 67 Jakarta, to examine the hedonism tendencies among these students, and to investigate whether there is an influence of self-confidence on hedonism. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach. The population consisted of 180 students, and based on the Slovin formula for random sampling, a total of 124 students were selected as the sample. Data were processed using IBM SPSS version 20 with a simple linear regression analysis technique. The results of the data analysis show a t-value of -5.738 with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.005, indicating that the independent variable (self-confidence) has a significant influence on the dependent variable (hedonism). Thus, the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. It can therefore be concluded that the higher an individual's self-confidence, the lower their tendency toward hedonism, and vice versa. The analysis also shows an R square value of 0.213, meaning that self-confidence contributes 21.3% to the variation in hedonism, while the remaining 78.7% is influenced by other factors beyond self-confidence.
