“…Beberapa faktor dapat menjadi latar belakang rendahnya perilaku asertif dalam diri individu, seperti pengaruh lingkungan yang kurang mendukung atau tidak mengajarkan asertivitas, pola asuh orang tua, konsep diri yang lemah, kondisi sosial budaya, jenis kelamin, usia, dan tingkat ekonomi (Rathus & Nevid, 1993). Selanjutnya, kemampuan bersikap asertif juga erat kaitannya dengan kondisi pola pikir seseorang, dan pola berpikir menjadi proses sentral yang menghubungkan peristiwa-peristiwa di luar (eksternal) dan di dalam (internal) melalui persepsi diri individu (Qamaria & Astuti, 2023a).…”

This research aims to explore the impact of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) on assertive behavior among Special Education Teachers (SETs). Due to the heavy workload and demands, teachers may experience cognitive disturbances. The study employs a quantitative experimental approach, focusing on a single participant, a 23-year-old SET named PAS, a new teacher in an Inclusive School for Special Needs in Kab Blitar, with low assertive behavior based on interview assessments, observations, graphic tests (BAUM, DAP & HTP), Wartegg, CFIT, and assertiveness scales. Sampling is done purposively. The Assertiveness Inventory serves as the research instrument, administered over eight sessions lasting 60 minutes each. Pre-test and post-test evaluations were conducted to assess changes. The findings indicate an improvement in assertive behavior for the participant, as evidenced by an increase in assertive behavior scores on the Assertiveness Inventory scale. Additionally, a reduction or elimination of negative thoughts and behaviors in the participant was observed. This research is vital for understanding how CBT can effectively enhance assertive behavior, particularly in the context of special education teachers facing significant work-related challenges. The results provide a foundation for developing interventions or programs that can be broadly applied to help educators enhance their assertive communication skills. Moreover, the study sheds light on the positive impacts anticipated from integrating cognitive behavior therapy in the development of assertive behavior.

“…Another phenomenon is that many final year undergraduate students were still unsure about their career paths (Qamaria & Astuti, 2021). These various conditions make students who are preparing for their careers feel uncertain about the future, giving rise to worry and discomfort in life.…”

Higher education is a transition period between the world of education and the world of work. During this period, undergraduate students experience various life problems related to the future and feelings of uncertainty in life, giving rise to worry and discomfort in life. This condition can affect undergraduate student life satisfaction. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect optimism on life satisfaction through the mediation of career adaptability in undergraduate students. The participants of this research were 250 undergraduate students (L=63, P=187), with a mean of 20.36. We used a convenience sampling technique to select the participants. The instruments used were CAAS (24 items; α = .94), SWLS 5 items; α = .88), and SOM (7 items; α = .78). The results of the analysis show that the indirect effect of optimism to life satisfaction through career adaptability (loading factor=.06, t-value=1.23), t-value≤1.96, was not significant. This means the hypothesis was not supported. Career adaptability does not serve as an intermediary in the correlation between optimism and life satisfaction. However, the findings in this study does highlight that optimism has a significant effect on career adaptability and life satisfaction. Thus, to increase optimism in undergraduate students, improving their ability to face various career challenges and increase life satisfaction is highly recommended.

China hosts around 68,000 international medical students (IMSs) primarily from lower income countries in Africa and Asia, who have the potential to contribute to international medical services. Understanding how these IMSs make career decisions can help better address the issue of global medical workforce shortage. However, such research is limited. Our study aims to explore the career decision-making process of China-educated IMSs, the challenges they experienced and the strategies they employed.In this exploratory qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with IMSs educated in China in 2022 using purposeful sampling. Twenty virtual one-on-one interviews were conducted, and data were analysed through directed qualitative content analysis. Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) theory was applied as the guiding framework for organising and analysing the data.The career decision-making process of the participants generally followed the stages of decision-making cycle in CIP theory, with a combination of urgent migration decisions and specialisation considerations adding layers of complexity to their career trajectories. Identified challenges encompassed lack of knowledge about oneself and career options, lack of decision-making skills, concerns of contextual complexities that limited the career decision-making process, low motivation and negative thoughts. Specific challenges due to their role as IMSs arose, which were related to career information access, self-capability evaluation, degree accreditation, employment competitiveness and mental states. Participants’ proposed strategies were categorised into personal and institutional aspects, providing insights into addressing these challenges.This study substantiates and expands the application of the CIP theory within the sphere of the particular cultural and educational context of IMSs educated in China. It highlights the significance of integrating migration decision-making into career guidance for IMSs, and contributes to the literature by proposing an evidence-based tiered career intervention programme for IMSs.
