Abstract

Adolescence is marked by emotional and social change and widening peer interaction, which makes emotion management and respect for differences important. Initial observation at SMAI Miftahul Ulum, Pamekasan, found that some students teased peers and called them by their parents' names, leaving others insecure and reluctant to speak. This community service activity aimed to strengthen students' understanding of emotion management, self-confidence, positive peer interaction, and respect for differences through the REKAT Program (Ruang Ekspresi dan Kebersamaan Remaja). The method was participatory psychoeducation (two facilitators, a short film, a group quiz, and reflection) held on 7 September 2026, evaluated with a one-group pre-test and post-test. Of 25 students who completed both tests, 22 with complete data were analyzed. The mean score rose from 3.52 (88.07%) to 3.59 (89.77%) on a 1–4 scale, an increase of 0.07 points or 1.70 percentage points, which was not statistically significant (t(21) = 1.38, p = .182; N-gain = 0.14). The small change is likely related to the high baseline score. The results indicate only a short-term strengthening of understanding and cannot be taken as evidence of behavior change.
