Hello Rhinos! If you're curious about how people learn and grow through different life stages, consider exploring Educational and Developmental Psychology. This field has become increasingly important, especially in recent years.
Let's meet Generation Alpha, born between 2010 and 2025, children of Generation Y and often younger siblings of Generation Z. With about 2.8 million born weekly, Indonesia ranks third globally in Generation Alpha births. Known as Generation Glass for their tech-savvy nature, they mature early, influenced by their millennial and Gen Z parents.
The COVID-19 pandemic shaped their views on mental health, making them more open. Increased online interactions and limited face-to-face contact during the pandemic may impact their mental health. As Gen Alpha returns to in-person activities, some may experience social anxiety, emphasizing the importance of educational and developmental psychology.
This field, guiding human growth from infancy to old age, is crucial for Generation Alpha's learning and daily life. Educational and Developmental Psychologists play a vital role, advising parents on supporting their children in studies and daily activities.
Financially, psychologists can earn up to Rp 249,000,000 annually, with an average monthly salary of Rp 20,700,000. Ranging from Rp 10,000,000 to Rp 31,700,000, a career in Psychology is personally and financially rewarding.
