The Effect of Emotional Distraction on Declarative Memory and an Exploration of its Physiological Marker: An Affective Computing Perspective
Get PDFOne of the advantage of e-learning method is the flexibility of embedding audio-visual materials, however whether this goal-irrelevant stimuli would distract the users instead and hinder their performance is generally unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of emotional distraction (ED) on the declarative memory performance. The study was conducted using the within-subject experiment on 38 students aged 18-21 years (20 males). Declarative memory was measured using a Word-Pair Association (WPA) task. ED is given using the International Affective Pictures System (IAPS) and International Affective Digitized Sounds (IADS) grouped based on their valence (neutral, positive, and negative). Measurement of physiological responses was done by measuring Galvanic Skin Responses (GSR), and Electroencephalography (EEG) with Frontal Alpha Asymmetry (FAA) index. Result: significant difference on the WPA score of which Positive is lower than Neutral condition (p = 0.011), but only on the group which the positive block were presented first. From the GSR data, significant main effect of the order of experimental block regardless of the ED valence (p < 0.001; F = 16.045), the first block elicits significantly higher GSR amplitude compared to second (p < 0.001; t = 4.94) and third (p = 0.001; t = 3.90). Meanwhile, the FAA index showed no significant difference (p = 0.654; F = 0.433)
Quality of Work Life (QWL) From Psychological Perspective and The Development of Its Measurement
Get PDFOne strategy that can integrate the interests of the company and the interests of employees is the implementation of Quality of Work Life (QWL). This study aimed to construct a new theory of QWL from the psychological perspective and develop its standardized measuring instrument that can be used to assess the implementation of QWL as a strategy to improve employee well-being and, at the same time, increase productivity. This study was conducted in two steps. First, meta-ethnography was adopted to construct the psychological elements of QWL. Further in the second step, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to test the construct validity of the QWL instrument. Five basic psychological constructs that represent QWL were obtained from the meta-ethnography: “trust”, “care”, “respect”, “learn”, and “contribute”, and for each construct was measured by five items. CFAof these five constructs involving 675 employees showed that the QWL instrument is valid and reliable. SEM model with five aspects consisting of five items each, fit with the research data (CFI= 0.89, RMSEA= 0.07). The QWL measuring instrument in this study is suggested to be studied further as a predictor of variables related to organizational behavior, such as job satisfaction, OCB, and work engagement
Psychometric Properties of Self-Report Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) Indonesian Version
Get PDFThe prevalence of mental disorders experienced by the global community, including in Indonesia, is increasing steadily. It is thus necessary to have a time-efficient and valid screening measuring tool as a basis to provide appropriate treatment to mental disorders. The Self-Report Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20) is a screening tool that is often used in Indonesia to identify mental disorder symptoms. However there is limited study that has attempted to discover the SRQ-20 factors and conducted a construct validity test on them. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors and test the construct validity of SRQ-20 developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). There were 674 students involved in the study. Exploratory factor analysis was used to discover the factors. Evidence based on internal structure using a confirmatory factor analysis was also collected. Findings revealed five factors for the SRQ-20, these are energy, cognitive, depression, physiological, and anxiety. The five factor model is an alternative for classifying symptoms on the SRQ-20. This way, symptoms on the SRQ-20 can be grouped into five factors, of which can assist clinicians take more appropriate and faster action. Findings also revealed, however, that the construct validity of the five factor model needs is less than the one factor model. Therefore, for further research, using a wider population to check the stability of structure across developmental age. SRQ-20 could also be compared with the gold standard measurement to get a predictive validity
Perspective of Justice among Advocates of Rape Victims
Get PDFRape cases involve various factors and perspectives. This study explored factors in constructing the perspective of justice among advocates of rape victims in Malang, East Java. This study adopted the qualitative phenomenology approach with semi-structured in-depth interview for data collection, and thematic analysis as the data analysis technique. The participants of this study were six advocates from two different women support groups and two experts, one was a Law lecturer and an investigator in the Woman and Children Service Unit (Unit Pelayanan Perempuan dan Anak) (UPPA) at Malang Police Department. The result revealed that justice perspectives of advocates were mainly rooted in the feminist concept at their ideological level; and therefore, the perceived meaning of justice tend to be idealistic and participants were rather dissatisfied with the existing legal system. Participants further expressed their self-interest to advocate based on the shared gender identity as women with the rape victims. As such, findings of this study might inform the evaluation of prevailing procedure and the substances of law enforcement leading to accommodating the needs of rape victims
Pilot Testing and Preliminary Psychometric Validation of Situational Judgment Test of Resistance to Sunk Cost
Get PDFThe sunk-cost fallacy is an anomaly in decision-making that has been proven in various experimental studies. However, individual differences in the tendency to fall into sunk-cost fallacy have not been sufficiently reported. This preliminary study contains a psychometric evaluation report of the Resistance to Sunk Costs (RtSC) measurement instrument, a component of the Adult Decision Making Competence instrument (A-DMC; De Bruin, Parker, & Fischhoff, 2007) which is modified into Indonesian socio-cultural and economic contexts. The RtSC instrument uses a situational judgment test model, therefore it is adequate to measure the psychological construct of sunk-cost fallacy. The data analysis techniques used in this study were Item Factor Analysis (IFA) and graded response models. Respondents in this study were 217 students in Indonesia. The analysis results show that the 1-factor model of resistance to sunk costs fits the data. At the item level, based on the IFA, it was found that two out of ten items were found to be misfits. The results of the GRM analysis on the remaining eight items indicate that the items fit the GRM. However, the distinguishing power and reliability were found to be low. It can be concluded that this preliminary study provides a variety of important information as suggestions for improvement for our modified scale. Several theoretical and methodological implications are discussed
Organizational Communication and Job Insecurity with Work Centrality as a Moderator: A Study on the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic to Tourism Industry
Get PDFThe economic impact of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has left many workers to be laid off. It psychologically caused those with jobs to feel insecure, which is known to affect individuals and organizations negatively. Drawing from Hobfoll’s Conservation of Resources (COR) theoretical framework, this study examined the correlation of organizational communication and job insecurity among workers during the COVID-19 pandemic with the moderating role of work centrality. Data were collected from 271 tourism workers in Bali through the purposive sampling technique. The result showed the negative correlation of organization communication towards job insecurity of tourism workers in Bali. The negative correlation between organizational communication and job insecurity became stronger for Balinese tourism workers with high work centrality than workers with lower work centrality. Accordingly, organizations should make a greater effort to communicate with workers about the organization’s stability during the COVID-19 pandemic to attenuate workers’ job insecurity
The Role of Self-compassion to Depression in Teenagers Mediated by Emotion Regulation
Get PDFAdolescence is a stage of development in life that is full of emotional turmoil, conflict, and stress, of which often lead to teenagers’ vulnerability to depression symptoms. A potential serious case if the depression symptoms are not treated well includes risk of suicidal ideation and suicide behaviour. This research aims to investigate and test the role of self-compassion to depression symptoms in teenagers mediated by emotion regulation-cognitive reappraisal. Participants in this research were 627 teenagers (N=627) with an age range of 15-18 years old, including 508 girls (81%) and 119 boys (19%). Mediation analysis using Process by Andrew F. Hayes, model 4, shows that emotion regulation —cognitive reappraisal (p=0.001; p<0.05) mediates the role of self-compassion to depression symptoms in teenagers. Emotion regulation—cognitive reappraisal serves as a partial mediator to the role of self-compassion to depression symptoms. Teenagers with self-compassion treat themselves positively by realizing and accepting negative emotions that leads to reduction of these negative emotions. It improves the capability of cognitive reappraisal, that brings new interpretation towards a more positive view for reducing depression symptoms
Academic and Social Integration Experiences of Papuan Studying in University Students in Java
No full textFollowing the Special Autonomy Law in 2001, the number of Papuan students studying out of town soared, resulting integration into a new culture becomes inevitable. The authors were interested in exploring academic and social integration experiences amongst Papuan university students in Java. Semi-structured interview was used to collect data from six Papuan students (four males and two females). Data was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify factors influencing integration strategy and to explore how stereotypes affect the minority student’s acculturation strategy. These factors included the student’s personality traits and motivation, prior contact with outgroup members, support from the university, academic barriers, and language/communication barriers. Additionally, the study found that negative stereotypes were more commonly experienced by indigenous Papuan students compared to mixed-Papuan students. This suggests that cultural background of the students may play a role in their integration experiences. While the sample size of this study was small and may not be representative of the broader population, the findings provide important implications for educational institutions. The study highlights the importance of involving ethnic minorities in shaping educational policies related to integration. By addressing the factors identified in this study, educational institutions can create a more positive environment for all students
The Role of Sleep Quality as Mediator of Relationship between Workload and Work Fatigue in Mining Workers
Get PDFThe mining environment is a place to work with a high level of risk. One of the factors that cause work accidents in the mining area is work fatigue or work fatigue. The purpose of this study was to reveal the role of sleep quality as a mediator of the relationship between workload and work fatigue in mining workers in Indonesia. Research participants were mining workers who worked in the field with a 12-hour / day shift work system (n = 232). Measurements were made using 3 scales, namely Full Time Equivalent (FTE) for workload, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality, and Three-Dimensional Work Fatigue Inventory (3D-WFI) for work fatigue. The results of the analysis using bootstrapping 5000 showed that workload has a significant effect on the level of work fatigue which is mediated by sleep quality. High workload results in poor sleep quality and high levels of fatigue so that mining companies need to maintain the quality of sleep for field workers to minimize work accidents due to work fatigue
Academic Self-Efficacy as the Mediator of Adolescent-Parent Secure Attachment Effect towards the Academic Stress of Senior High School Students
Get PDFThis study aimed at examining the role of academic self-efficacy as a mediator of adolescent-parent secure attachment effect towards academic stress of senior high school students. The hypothesis of this study was the adolescent-parent secure attachment effect towards the academic stress of senior high school students is mediated by the academic self-efficacy. Two hundred sixty four 11thgrade senior high school students from three different schools in Yogyakarta were recruited as the research participants. Data collection exerted the adolescent-parent attachment scale, academic stress scale, and academic self-efficacy scale. Mediation analysis was conducted by using the conditional process modelling. Result showed that the adolescent-parent secure attachment affected academic stress of senior high school students is mediated by the academic self-efficacy with an indirect effect coefficient of -0,199. The importance of the role of academic self-efficacy in reducing academic stress among students is discussed. The results of this study are expected to serve as evaluation materials for parents to understand that the success of teenagers in school is not only the responsibility of the teachers and the school. Future researchers could also add a variable of adolescent-peers attachment to expand more knowledge on the topic
