Is Attachment a Fate? A Literature Review on Adult Attachment and Intimate Partner Violence
type: item
description: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) continues to receive global scholarly attention. Adult attachment theory provided a lens to understand IPV in close relationships. This study explored whether childhood attachment persists into adulthood, how insecure adult attachment relates to IPV risk, and what additional factors influence this across domestic and dating contexts as a form of IPV. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were retrieved from Scopus and Google Scholar using predefined keywords, focusing on studies published between 2015–2025. A total of 22 studies (N = 7211) met the eligibility criteria. The findings indicate while early attachment influence adult attachment, but the situational context and additional life experiences can shape the way individuals respond to their partner or the attached figure. In addition, the dynamics of the adult attachment, anxiety, and avoidance components are related to victims and perpetrators of violence. This review deepens the understanding of IPV through the adult attachment lens, emphasizing that attachment is not a fixed predictor. Future studies should examine other psychological and contextual factors and support the development of counselling and intervention strategies for IPV prevention.

Midlife-Aged Woman: The Effect of Work-Family Conflict on Life Satisfaction in Dual-Earner Families
type: item
description: A dual-earner family is a condition where the husband and wife work outside the home and also take care of the children at home simultaneously to fulfill the family's needs. Families in middle age undergo significant transitions, affecting both their external and internal dynamics. This research aims to analyze the impact of work-family conflict on the life satisfaction of working middle-aged families. This research was conducted using a purposive sampling with a questionnaire in Greater Jakarta. This study was conducted from July to August 2024. Data analysis was performed using SMART-PLS 3 to investigate the influence between variables. This research involved 99 women aged 46-50 years (middle age), and worked outside the home with productive working hours (7-8 hours a day). The results show that the majority of wives who work in middle age can handle work-family conflict and have good life satisfaction. The SEM analysis reveals that the higher the work-family conflict, the lower a person's life satisfaction in the family will be. This research strengthens the structural-functional theory which states there must be a homeostasis principal to maintain their respective roles in the family. This study implies that working families need to maintain a balance between work and life to enhance overall family well-being.

Dynamics of Moral and Ethical Development in Children through Religious-Based Education
type: item
description: In the contemporary world, as parents increasingly acknowledge the crucial role of quality education in shaping their children's future, particularly through religious education, uncertainties persist regarding the most effective platforms for its implementation and delivery. This qualitative research aims to explore optimal locations for imparting religious education to children and investigate its role in the moral and ethical development of children through faith-based learning. The research involved interviews with ten parent informants to gather insights into the best platforms and impacts of religious education on children's moral and ethical growth, which were then analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns, key influences, and the extent of religious education's effectiveness in shaping children's character and ethical values. The findings show that religious education can be accessed through formal schooling, non-formal Quranic education, and the family. School-based religious education covers both theoretical and practical aspects, while Quranic education provides in-depth Islamic values. The family integrates religious values into daily life, with parents serving as primary educators and role models. The research highlights the significant impact of religious education on moral and ethical character, spiritual foundation, social skills, cognitive development, independence, and communication. It advocates for the integration of religious values across all educational platforms, emphasizing its role in fostering intellectually skilled and morally upright individuals.

type: item
description: The welfare of dual earner families is a challenge along with the potential conflicts and challenges of family transactions with their environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of time management, family work balance, family transactions with their environment, and family-friendly environment on subjective well-being in dual earner families. The cross-sectional study involved 120 wives of dual earner families with school-age children who were selected by simple random sampling from the population in Kelurahan Pasir Jaya and Gunung Batu, Bogor City. The results showed that most of the sample had high subjective well-being and family-friendly environment indices, but had moderate indices of time management, family work conflict, family work balancing strategies, and family transactions with the environment. The PLS test results show that family work balancing strategies and a family-friendly environment have a positive effect on subjective well-being. Time management indirectly affects subjective well-being through family work balancing strategies.

Maintaining a Long-Distance Marriage: Communication and Spirituality
type: item
description: Long-distance marriage (LDM) can pose significant challenges for couples in preserving emotional intimacy, trust, and overall relationship stability, highlighting the importance of resilience in sustaining connections. This study investigated the interplay between spirituality, WhatsApp communication, and resilience in long-distance marriages. Resilience encompasses a couple's ability to effectively navigate challenges within a long-distance marriage (LDM). This study employed a quantitative correlational design and included 138 married individuals who have been engaged in LDM for at least one year. Data collection involved questionnaires assessing WhatsApp communication, spirituality measured by the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES), and couple resilience evaluated through the Couple Resilience Inventory Scale (CRIS). Analyses were performed using IBM SPSS. The results indicated a positive correlation between WhatsApp communication and positive resilience behaviour (r = 0.489, p < 0.01), along with a negative correlation with negative resilience behaviour (r = -0.442, p < 0.01). Furthermore, spirituality exhibited a positive correlation with positive resilience behaviour (r = 0.422, p < 0.01) and a negative correlation with negative resilience behaviour (r = -0.299, p < 0.01). WhatsApp communication and spirituality accounted for 28.6% of the variance in couple resilience, with other factors influencing the remaining percentage. These findings suggest that both digital communication and spirituality play significant roles in enhancing resilience among couples in long-distance relationships.

Financial Management and Commitment to Sending Remittances of Filipina Wives in Virginia, United States
type: item
description: Sending remittances back home may be a challenging financial task. Thus, this study was conducted to understand the financial management and commitment to sending remittances of nine Filipinas wives living in Virginia, United States. Data was gathered through face-to-face in-depth interviews regarding their household finances, expenditures, experiences about balancing household budget, and sending remittances back home. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results show that some participants are dependent homemakers on their sole earner-husbands, indicating that each household has different sources and levels of income. All households practice financial management by having clear financial goals, a working monthly budget, being proactive budget holders and decision makers, and setting money aside for savings. Households have an allotted amount of monetary remittance that they send back home. The commitment to remitting is a personal choice of the Filipina wives to help their families of origin. However, emergency requests for additional remittances leave the monthly family budget and savings at a potential risk for mismanagement. It should be made clear to the family of origin how much financial help can only be given so as not to affect the financial management process of their female relative in the United States.

type: item
description: Fish families are vulnerable to poverty. The vulnerability of fishermen’s families leads to economic pressure that can reduce family well-being. This study aimed to analyze the influence of economic pressure, social capital, and coping strategies on the well-being of fishers. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Aru Islands Regency, Maluku Province, Japan. The sample consisted of 50 skipper fisher families and 50 laborer families. Sampling was performed using snowball sampling. The data were processed using descriptive tests, independent sample t-tests, and structural equation modeling (SEM) tests. This research revealed that labor fisher families' economic pressures were higher than those of skipper fisher families. The social capital of skippers and laborers was classified as a low category. The coping strategies of the skipper and laborer fisher families were classified as in the moderate category. The well-being of skipper fisher families was higher than that of labor-fisher families. Economic pressure has a direct negative influence on fishers’ well-being. Social capital has a direct negative influence on fishers’ well-being. The research implication is that the well-being of a fisher's family can be increased by increasing social capital.

Mompreneur: The Effect of Job Satisfaction on Psychological Well-Being of Mother Owning MSMEs
type: item
description: Not a few mothers who work in a formal work environment decide to quit and start a new career and become entrepreneurs, which makes them part of the phenomenon often known as "mompreneur," which is a combination of her mother role and her chosen entrepreneurial role, which adequately illustrates the complexity of the responsibilities and roles that mothers play daily. With the enormous responsibility of being a mother and the center of the family, a mother's job satisfaction and psychological well-being as she goes about her day are very important. This study was conducted on 89 mompreneurs in Bandung City with a quantitative non-experimental approach through a written questionnaire conducted via small groups of mompreneurs. This study proved that job satisfaction significantly affects psychological well-being and found that job satisfaction is negatively related to marital status. In contrast, Psychological well-being is positively related to education. This study suggests that mompreneurs' socioeconomic situation does not significantly affect their job satisfaction and well-being. At the same time, most previous research focuses on the boarder concept of working mothers.

The Phenomenon of Early Marriage and its Impact on Family Resilience
type: item
description: Early marriage is a marriage that is carried out under the age of 19 and generally does not have the readiness to build a family physically, economically, emotionally and has not thought about the impact of family resilience. The purpose of this study was to determine the background, causal factors and family resilience of early marriage. This research uses a qualitative case study method. There were 12 primary and secondary informants. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and document studies. Data analysis uses the theory of Miles and Huberman (1984) and checks the validity of the data by triangulating data sources. The results showed that the background of early marriage was due to a lack of education for the community regarding the impact of early marriage, a feeling of shame for neighbors who were married but themselves were not married, and a feeling of fear of becoming an old maid. The factors of early marriage are fear of causing fitnah, being matched because they have seen a prospective husband who is already working, the condition of parents who are not intact so they cannot afford to pay for children's schooling, the influence of social media and peers. The findings of this study are that early marriages are generally conducted “siri” because of the ease of access compared to official marriages. The level of family resilience of early marriage couples is still vulnerable, especially the legality of family integrity, physical resilience, economic resilience, and socio-psychological resilience.

In dual-earner families, family well-being can be directly improved by increased family income, equality of gender roles, and better family interaction. The conclusion was that families strive to increase income, establish gender equality, and interact well to improve family well-being.
