Exploring Taste: The Influence of Eating Styles on Food Choice Motives
Get PDFThe high prevalence of obesity has made individuals more cautious in choosing food. Many of them are now beginning to consider their physical health, such as maintaining their weight. This study aims to determine the influence of eating patterns on food choice motives. The research method used is quantitative, involving the distribution of questionnaires. The study participants consisted of 206 students in the city of Semarang, and data analysis was conducted using the Multivariate GLM Test. The results of this study indicate that controlled eating patterns influence weight control, external eating patterns influence sensory appeal, but emotional eating patterns don’t influence food choice motives. In conclusion, both eating patterns among students significantly influence food choice motives. Specifically, controlled eating patterns affect weight control, external eating patterns affect sensory appeal, but emotional eating patterns don’t affect both dependent variables (weight control and sensory appeal)

Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Indonesian Version of the Career Aspirations Scale-Revised (CAS-R) among Adolescents
Get PDFThe dynamic changes within the world of work require individuals to engage in robust career planning. In this context, career aspiration is understood as a psychological construct reflecting an individual’s hopes, motivations, and goals related to their future employment. This study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Career Aspirations Scale-Revised (CAS-R) into Indonesian to provide a valid and reliable measurement tool. The respondents comprised 549 Indonesian adolescents. The adaptation process followed the ITC (2018) guidelines, encompassing content validation, construct validation through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Rasch analysis, as well as reliability testing. The CFA results supported a three-factor structure (RMSEA = 0.034; CFI = 0.990; TLI = 0.990), with 18 items meeting the factor loading criteria. Cronbach’s alpha of 0.910 indicated high reliability. Rasch analysis further supported the instrument’s validity and internal consistency, with 19 items deemed to fit the model. These findings confirm that the Indonesian version of CAS-R is a suitable instrument for measuring adolescents’ career aspirations in Indonesia. It can be used by schools, counselors, and psychological institutions to support career assessment and planning
Self-Efficacy and Self-Regulated Learning among College Students in Digital Learning: A Meta-analytic Study
Get PDFThe success of students in digital learning depends largely on internal psychological factors such as self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (SRL). However, the strength and consistency of the relationship between these two constructs vary across studies. This meta-analysis synthesizes findings from seven empirical studies (total N = 1,971) published between 2020 and 2024 to estimate the magnitude of the relationship between self-efficacy and SRL among university students in digital learning contexts. Data were analyzed using the Sidik–Jonkman estimator model in Jamovi. Results revealed a large and significant overall effect size (r = 0.66, p < .001; 95% CI [0.29, 1.03]) with high heterogeneity (I² = 97.6%, Q = 221.73, p < .001). Publication bias analysis indicated no significant bias (Egger’s regression test p = .896; Fail-safe N = 1,861). This study extends previous correlational research by providing quantitative evidence on the robustness of the link between self-efficacy and SRL specifically in digital learning environments. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how students’ confidence in their learning abilities supports the development of effective self-regulation strategies, thereby informing future interventions to enhance digital learning outcomes in higher education
The Role of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Psychological Well-being among College Students: The Mediating Role of Emotional Intelligence
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on Psychological Well-Being (PWB) among college students, with Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a mediating variable. Although ACEs are widely known to affect mental health, research exploring the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship in Indonesian college student populations remains limited. Using a quantitative explanatory design and purposive sampling, 440 students aged 18–25 years completed standardized measures of ACEs, EI, and PWB. Data were analyzed using PROCESS Macro Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Results showed that ACEs had a significant negative effect on PWB (B = -0.651, t = -5.464, p < .001), whereas EI had a significant positive effect on PWB (B = 0.722, t = 12.475, p < .001). EI also partially mediated the effect between ACEs and PWB, emphasizing the importance of enhancing emotional intelligence in educational settings. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening emotional intelligence to mitigate the adverse impact of early negative experiences on psychological well-being.
Voicing the Voiceless: Photovoice and Standpoint Feminism Unveiling the Stigmatization of Ex-Sex Workers
Get PDFThe closure of Dolly's localization did not eradicate the stigma attached to women who are former sex workers. Discussion around the issue of women sex workers often focused on discrimination and violence. However, it paid little attention to the challenges of individuals struggling to achieve autonomy and human rights after leaving prostitution. The research aims to understand how former sex workers navigate stigma and reclaim their autonomy and human rights after the closure of Dolly's localization. Ten women identified needs, aspirations, concerns, and issues related to their lives, using Standpoint Feminism Theory to position them as authorities on their experiences. The research voices the three themes: (1) public and self-stigma, (2) positive motherhood narratives in combating stigma, and (3) strategies in responding to stigma. The photovoice method empowers participants to tell their stories directly and accurately, fostering a participatory knowledge process between researchers and participants. The study contributes to expanding the discussion on the reintegration of women affected by post-prostitution, filling gaps in existing literature on empowerment and stigma reduction strategies
Validation of Short Form Social and Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S) Indonesian Version
Get PDFDissatisfaction in a relationship leads to both emotional and social loneliness. The emergence of loneliness stems from a mismatch between the quality of the relationship and expectations. A study was conducted to evaluate the validation of the Short Form Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S) Bahasa Indonesian version, based on internal structure and its relationship with other variables. Using secondary data from 155 active students, the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) grouped 14 SELSA-S items. The grouping of social, romantic, and family dimensions in the Indonesian SELSA-S aligned with the initial design and the validity of SELSA-S in Brazil, Slovakia, and Turkey. All dimensions correlated significantly with the neuroticism variable, indicating that loneliness is positively associated with anxiety, depression, and emotional instability. The validation was supported by consistent reliability tests, confirming that the Indonesian version of SELSA-S is reliable in accurately measuring loneliness
