Eksplorasi Kemunculan Efek Metode dalam Tes Potensi Kemampuan Kognitif
Full text linkSkor tes individu dapat dipengaruhi oleh tiga sumber variasi yaitu konstruk ukur, metode pengukuran, dan eror pengukuran. Idealnya, pengaruh terhadap skor dalam sebuah tes didominasi oleh konstruk ukur. Namun, dalam beberapa kasus terdapat pengaruh dari metode pengukuran yang disebabkan oleh keunikan yang terkait dengan metode pengukuran dalam tes tersebut. Pengaruh dari keunikan ini disebut sebagai efek metode yang dapat memengaruhi validitas struktural suatu alat ukur. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi efek metode pada Tes PAPS UGM Seri E menggunakan analisis faktor konfirmatori dengan model bifaktor (bifactor). Hasil analisis (N = 2.170) menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat efek metode dengan porsi yang cukup besar di dalam PAPS Seri E1 dan E2. Semua variasi skor didominasi oleh efek konstruk ukur daripada efek metode pengukuran yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai bobot faktor pada komponen lebih didominasi oleh konstruk ukur dibandingkan dengan metode pengukuran. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa skor yang didapatkan oleh peserta tes cenderung merepresentasikan kemampuan yang bersifat umum yaitu penalaran kognitif daripada kemampuan yang bersifat spesifik yang terkait dengan media pengukuran
The Role of Emotional Intelligence toward Internalizing and Externalizing Problems in Adolescents
Full text linkPeople experience more rapid physical, social, and emotional development in adolescence than in any other developmental stage. The dramatic changes may cause them volatile mental conditions and difficulties in overcoming various behavioral problems summarised as internalizing (IP) and externalizing problems (EP). One of the protective factors is emotional intelligence (EI) because someone with good emotional intelligence can control emotions when angry and adapt to unpleasant situations. This study aimed to determine the role of EI on IP and EP in Indonesian adolescents. This study used a quantitative research design with a simple random sampling technique. The research subjects were adolescents aged 15 to 18 years (N = 300) who attended nine high schools in East Java, consisting of 96 males and 204 females. The research instruments used were the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results showed a significant negative role between emotional intelligence and internalizing problems (R2 =.391; F(1,298) = 191.649; p <.001) and externalizing problems (R2 =.281; F(1.298) = 116.230; p <.001). The higher one's ability to understand, regulate, and use emotions, the lower the manifestation of internal and external problematic behavior. It means that EI is confirmed to predict the IP and EP. The way to advance the capacity of adolescents' emotional intelligence is to try to express emotions and regulate and utilize their feelings. So adolescents do not develop mental health problems.
Herding Behavior and Its Impact on Purchasing Decisions Among Beginner Crypto Investors: An Experimental Analysis
Full text linkIn recent years, cryptocurrency has garnered significant interest from investors. Herding behavior bias frequently influences the rationality of purchasing decisions in novice crypto investors. In addition, greed can affect the decision-making process regarding the nominal of investment. This study aimed to examine the role of herding behavior in novice crypto investors' purchasing decisions and assess the role of greed as a moderator. The study employed an experimental method with a posttest-only control group design. Thirty participants were selected using convenience sampling techniques and divided into two groups (experiment and control groups). Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test for comparison testing and PROCESS Hayes for moderation analysis. The results indicated that herding behavior played a significant role in purchasing decision-making (U = 60; p 0.05). Instead of relying on rational decision-making, novice cryptocurrency investors frequently succumb to herding behavior. The ambiguity of information and investors' inability to make informed decisions lead to herding behavior being perceived as the most viable option
Parental Attachment in Generation Z Adolescents: Comparison in Matrilineal and Patrilineal Kinship Systems in Indonesia
Full text linkParental attachment has an immense influence on adolescent development, including in Generation Z. Some factors can affect attachment development, such as social environment and culture. This study aimed to compare attachment patterns between Generation Z adolescents from matrilineal and patrilineal backgrounds in Indonesia. The parental attachment was measured using the Indonesian version of the Inventory of Parent Peer Attachment-Revised (IPPA-R). Participants in this study were 206 adolescents, with Batak (n= 69) and Minangkabau (n=134) ethnic backgrounds. Data analyses used were Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. This study showed no difference in parental attachment between the two groups, indicating that there is a shift in parental attachment levels in Indonesia. Trust, communication, and alienation could predict preferred attachment figures for the matrilineal group. Meanwhile, the preferred attachment figure in the patrilineal group was predicted by trust and communication. This research could help parents understand the importance of communication, trust, and alienation and their relations with parental attachment level, especially in Generation Z with Minangkabau and Batak cultural backgrounds

#WMHD Talks: Analyses of Mental Health Conversations Among Indonesian Community on Twitter
Full text linkOne of the right moments to comprehend people’s understanding of mental health topics is through World Mental Health Day (WMHD). This study aimed to explore themes related to mental health that are the conversation topics on Twitter as social reactions to WMHD 2021. We collected and analyzed Indonesian tweets that contained #WMHD or Mental Health keywords. From October 1 to 23, 2021, a total of 12,500 tweets were collected utilizing tweepy and request, a python programming-based library. Data cleaning processes left 7,126 tweets to be further analyzed with inductive thematic analysis. This study found seven themes from the most to the least frequently discussed, namely (1) positive mental health, (2) social network and social capital, (3) mental health literacy, (4) stressful events, (5) material economic well-being, (6) mental illness and (7) physical wellbeing. This research showed that social media has the capacity to investigate users’ knowledge and perception which might then serve as the foundation for providing relevant mental health education on various platforms to support the improvement of community well-being. Furthermore, knowing the topics of mental health-related conversations on twitter can be a precursor to the development of a measurement tool related to mental health understanding
A Preliminary Adaptation and Validation of the Indonesian Version of the Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescent (LACA)
Full text linkMeasuring loneliness in children and adolescents is crucial, as it is a prevalent issue that can impact their emotional and social development. Despite its importance, there are limited validated tools available to assess loneliness within the Indonesian cultural context. The Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents (LACA) is a widely used instrument for assessing feelings of loneliness and aloneness among children and adolescents. This study aimed to adapt and collect evidence of the validity of the Indonesian version of the LACA following the International Test Commission (ITC) Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Tests. Using the convenience sampling technique, 297 children and adolescents aged 10–18 years were selected as respondents in this study. The results show that the Indonesian version of four LACA sub-scales has good internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis shows that the four-factor model has an acceptable model fit. However, six items were omitted from the LACA loneliness measurement model for having a low contribution to loneliness. As a result, the four-factor model with fewer items shows a better fit. According to the research findings, the Indonesian version of the LACA can be used to measure loneliness and attitudes toward aloneness in the population of children and adolescents in Indonesia, with a recommendation to omit six items. The results of the tests on alternative two-factor models show that the loneliness in relationships with parents and loneliness in relationships with peers sub-scales can be used separately to measure the source of loneliness in children and adolescents in Indonesia

Peran Kontrol Diri sebagai Mediator dalam Hubungan antara Parental Psychological Control dengan Agresi Remaja
Full text linkAgresi remaja banyak terjadi sebagai perilaku yang ditunjukkan kepada orang lain dengan tujuan untuk menyakiti orang tersebut. Agresi disebabkan karena kontrol diri remaja yang rendah dan perilaku orang tua yang mengontrol remaja dalam menghambat perkembangan emosional dan psikologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran kontrol diri sebagai mediator dalam hubungan antara parental psychological control (PPC) dengan agresi remaja. Sebanyak 203 siswa SMA di Surabaya sebagai partisipan dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan metode non-probability purposive sampling. Pengukuran agresi diukur dengan Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), kontrol diri diukur dengan Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), dan pengukuran PPC menggunakan Psychological Control Scale-Youth Self-Report (PSC-YSR). Pengujian hipotesis menggunakan analisis Structural Equation Model (SEM) untuk menguji efek tidak langsung dari kontrol diri. Hasil penelitian menemukan kontrol diri mampu berperan sebagai mediator antara PPC dengan agresi. Artinya, PPC terlebih dahulu membuat remaja memiliki kontrol diri yang rendah sehingga menyebabkan remaja memiliki kecenderungan untuk melakukan agresi
