Abstract. Write the abstract in English with a length of 150-250 words. Use Cambria 10 pt., italic, single spacing, and justified alignment. Ensure that the abstract is clear, concise, and descriptive, providing a brief overview of the problem being studied. Include the rationale for selecting the research topic or its importance, the hypotheses, the research methods, and a summary of the results.

Keywords: Provide 3-5 keywords that are relevant to the research topic. Arrange the keywords in alphabetical order. Use Cambria 10 pt., italic, single spacing, and justified alignment. Ensure the keywords reflects the article’s key concepts.

Introduction

Present the background of the research problem, the research objectives, and the expected contributions, followed by the theoretical framework and the research hypotheses/research questions. Ensure that this section does not exceed 20 % of the total manuscript. Do not divide this section into subheadings. Include a clear and coherent exposition of recent developments in the relevant field, supported by primary and up-to-date references. Clearly identify the research gap and develop a well-structured argument demonstrating how the study addresses this gap and contributes to the advancement of knowledge. Conclude with a concise and precise statement of the research objectives. Format the text using Cambria 12 pt, single spacing, and justified alignment.

Method

Write the method section without subheadings and ensure that it does not exceed 20 % of the total manuscript length. For quantitative research, specify the research design (e.g., quasi-experimental or correlational design), define all research variables operationally, and describe the research instruments in detail. Provide complete information on each instrument, including the name of the measurement tool and its developer, the number of items, response formats, translation procedures where applicable, and evidence of validity and reliability. Clearly describe the population and sample, including relevant characteristics and the sampling technique used. Present the data analysis techniques with appropriate references and describe the research procedures, including the process of obtaining ethical clearance. Ensure that all definitions or theories cited from books or journals are accompanied by a clear description of the operational procedures applied in the study. Whenever possible, illustrate these procedures by including examples such as sample items from the data collection instruments, interview guidelines, or detailed steps of the data analysis. Ensure transparency throughout the section to enable replication or verification by other researchers.

For qualitative research, describe the research location where relevant to clarify the specific context. Specify the research design (e.g., phenomenology, ethnography, or grounded theory), and describe the data collection techniques used (e.g., focus group discussions, interviews, or photovoice). Provide a clear description of participant characteristics. Explain the ethical considerations and the researcher’s positionality. Describe the strategies used for data analysis and interpretation. Ensure the study employs appropriate approaches to enhance data credibility such as member checking, triangulation, and other relevant methods.

For other research methods, such as scoping reviews or systematic literature reviews, follow established methodological guidelines relevant to the selected approach. Ensure that the procedures are clearly described and aligned with recognized standards to support transparency and replicability. Several standard guidelines include those developed by JBI (https://jbi.global/critical-appraisal-tools), PRISMA (https://www.prisma-statement.org/), and Cochrane (https://www.cochrane.org). Authors may provide a more detailed explanation of the methods section by referring to one of these guidelines. Provide sufficient methodological detail beyond the minimum outlined here, where necessary to enhance clarity and rigor. Format the text using Cambria 12 pt., single spacing, and justified alignment.

Result and Discussion

Write the Results and Discussion section without subheadings and ensure that it does not exceed 20% of the total manuscript length. For quantitative studies, present descriptive statistics, assumption test results, and hypothesis testing results in a clear, logical sequence or in an integrated manner, followed by critical analysis. When using correlational designs that involve moderation or mediation, provide a detailed and precise explanation of the moderating or mediating effects.

For qualitative studies, address each research question explicitly in this section and present the findings as the outcome of data analysis with clarity and coherence. Ensure that tables, figures, or charts present meaningful and interpretable results rather than raw data requiring further processing. Use images with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi to ensure clarity. Design all visual elements to facilitate rapid and accurate comprehension of the findings. Format the text using Cambria 12 pt., single spacing, and justified alignment.

The discussion part must critically analyze the research findings in relation to previous studies and integrate them with relevant, up-to-date literature. Limit the length of the discussion to a maximum of 30–40% of the total manuscript. Provide a substantive interpretation of the results and compare them with prior findings based on primary and current references. Ensure comparisons highlight similarities or differences with earlier studies, thereby demonstrating the potential contribution of the research to advancing knowledge.      

Conclusion

The conclusion must present a clear synthesis that directly addresses the research objectives rather than repeating results already discussed. Avoid redundancy and do not include statistical figures in quantitative studies. Write the conclusion concisely, clearly, and substantively, limited to a maximum of 10% of the total manuscript length. Present it in paragraph form, not as a numbered list, and ensure it reflects the integration of data analysis and discussion while emphasizing novel contributions to the development of psychological science. Use Cambria 12, single spacing, and justified alignment.

The recommendations must also be written concisely, clearly, and substantively in paragraph form, not as a numbered list. Use Cambria 12, single spacing, and justified alignment.

The reference list must be arranged alphabetically and chronologically. Include only sources cited in the manuscript; do not list works that are not referenced. Ensure consistency between in-text citations and the reference list. All references must be relevant, with at least 80% published within the last five years and at least 80% drawn from primary sources, particularly recent journal articles. Include a minimum of two references from articles published in the Psychopreneur Journal. Format references according to the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition (2020). Use reputable journals as sources, preferably high-impact journals, and ensure that each journal article includes the correct DOI.
