In this edition, we present a collection of timely and rigorous studies that address fundamental psychological themes in the context of Indonesian society. This issue explores: communication apprehension and self-perceived communication, goal-setting mental training among young baseball athletes, grit in Quran-memorizing students, the validation of intrinsic motivation measurement tools for futsal athletes, and the crucial interplay between hope and grit in final-year university students..
Each article is rooted in local cultural and institutional realities, yet carries broader theoretical and practical implications. From fostering mental resilience in youth involved in sports to understanding motivation and perseverance in academic and religious contexts, these contributions enrich not only Indonesian psychology but also the global discourse on human flourishing.
