The Mediating Role of Social Environment on Student’s Personality: Examining Islamic Values in Adolescents Post-Covid-19
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.25217/0020247417200Abstract
The moral delinquency of adolescents after Covid-19 has been recorded by the government of Aceh. This moral delinquency is pervasive in the social setting where adolescent behavior is harmed. This investigation examines religious and spiritual values considering the effect size of social conditions as a mediator variable. This study highlights the possibility that there is a relationship between Islamic religious and spiritual beliefs and the social environment, as well as how these factors affect students' personalities. The structural model consisting of religiosity, spirituality, environment, and Islamic personality contains five hypotheses. 381 participants aged 16 to 19, were involved in the study with 39.9% were male and 60.1% were female. 32 items of questionnaire were used in this study, incorporating indicators from the Psychological Measure of Islamic Religiousness (PMIR), Islamic Worldview and Righteous Behavior model (IWRB), and Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List (SAIL) for social environment indicators. All selected indicators were assessed using a Likert Scale and analyzed with exploratory factor analysis via SEM-PLS. The validity of the chosen indicators was confirmed. The study discovered that adolescent personalities are unaffected by spiritual values and that Islamic religious values are related to the social environment. Consequently, a decline in the comprehension of spiritual values is the cause of adolescent moral instability.
