Teenagers who tend to prioritize emotional considerations over rational ones cause an increase in Indonesian teenager's smoking rate. Apart from that, teenagers' experiences of receiving praise or ridicule from friends when smoking or not smoking and the desire to be accepted by the environment are the emotional reasons teenagers start smoking. In this case, efforts can be made to prevent smoking behavior by providing assertiveness training to teenagers. This research aims to see the difference in influence before and after being given assertive training on students. This research used an experimental research method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The population was 312 MTSN 1 Pangkalpinang students with a sample of 10 subjects. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The measuring tool used was a 49-item smoking behavior scale and the module used as an assertive training guide was the assertive training module (refusing invitations to smoke).

From the results of the Paired Sample T Test data analysis, the coefficient p = 0.124 > 0.05, meaning there was no significant difference between before being given training and after being given assertive training.

Fuad Nashori — 2024-10-30

Children in orphanages have different lives than children in general. Living in an orphanage certainly provides challenges for them. Despite the limitations of living in an orphanage, they are also required to continue to have dreams and aspirations for their future. This study examines the association between self-acceptance and self-esteem and their impact on optimism among orphanage children. The hypothesis posits a positive correlation between self-esteem, self-acceptance, and optimism in this particular context. The study employs three validated scales: the optimism scale developed by Scheier et al., the self-acceptance scale proposed by Berger, and the self-esteem scale devised by Rosenberg. Based on purposive sampling, the research participants were 254 children aged 12-18 living in orphanages located in Central Java. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between self-acceptance, self-esteem, and optimism among the children in the orphanage setting, underscoring that elevated levels of self-esteem and self-acceptance among orphaned children correspond to heightened levels of optimism they possess.
