Self-efficacy source and career adaptability: The mediating roles of career decision self-efficacy
Full text linkCareer adaptability is defined as individual’s ability to make self and environmental assessments in order to deal with changes that occur to themselves and the environment — both planned and unplanned. Being sure about the ability to perform tasks related career decision making is one factor that holds an important role on career adaptability. This sense of confidence is often called as career decision self-efficacy. The aim of this research was to identify which source of self-efficacy that plays a significant role to form career adaptability with career decision self-efficacy as a mediator. The study involved Year 12 grade students of senior high school, consisting of 47 male and 205 female. Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy–Short Form (CDSE-SF), and Career Exploration and Decision Learning Experiences (CEDLE) Scale were used to collect the data. The results show that career decision self-efficacy (CSDE) mediated the relationship between each source of self efficacy to career adaptability. Four of five sources of self-efficacy provide influence through two ways, i.e. direct influence on career adaptability and through the mediating role of CDSE. Meanwhile, other people's successful experience has an influence on career adaptability only through CDSE mediation. Therefore, enhancing one or more source of self-efficacy will help adolescence develop a good career adaptability
Psychometric properties of the SE-Revised: A rasch model analysis
Full text linkSatz Ergaenzung (SE) is the first subtest in the Intelligenz Struktur Test (IST) that measures reasoning ability. Previous studies found that SE has suboptimum performance in measuring subject's ability. Therefore, this study intended to revise the SE items that were found to have poor psychometric properties, either by changing the questions and answer choices, the answer choices only, or changing the order of the questions. This study used the rasch model to determine the psychometric property of SE-revised. A total of 159 undergraduate students of a university in Riau participated in this study. The results showed that the revised SE had fulfilled the pre-requisites of unidimensionality. The instrument reliability increased after being revised, where the items of SE-revised correctly measure respondents' abilities. The revised version may be used as an improvement of the original SE, with better psychometric properties. However, there were four items with low difficulty index and two items that have DIF. Even though SE-revised is better than the original SE, further research is needed to revise the six items of SE-revised subtest
Drawing therapy to improve the quality of life for children victims of landslides
Full text linkDisasters may affect the quality of life of survivors, including children. Therefore, interventions that may improve survivors' quality of life is needed. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of drawing therapy in improving the quality of life of children survivors of landslides in Purworejo, Central Java, Indonesia. This study used a quasi-experimental design with one group pretest - posttest. The subjects were five children aged 8 to 11 years who experienced a landslide disaster, and had low or moderate quality of life based on WHOQOL-BREF scale categorization. The experimental group was treated using therapeutic techniques that facilitated the subject to externalize their traumatic experiences through creative actions that reflected their feelings and thoughts. Therapy was done through three stages of warm up, mindfulness, and drawing. The results of the Friedman Test analysis show the differences in the quality of life scores in all domains before and after the intervention was given. Qualitative data that was taken as complimentary to the quantitative part also showed a description of improved behavior, attitudes, and social interactions among the children. It is concluded that drawing therapy can improve the quality of life of the children survivors of a landslide disaster

Factor structure of the Indonesian version of the Parent as Social Context Questionnaire
Full text linkThe use of a dimensional approach in assessment tools of parenting style in Indonesia is still very limited. Parent as Social Context Questionnaire (PSCQ)-Adolescent Report is widely known as a dimensional-parenting style assessment tool. This study examined the factor structure and reliability of the Indonesian version of the PSCQ-Adolescent Report. This 24-item questionnaire measures six parenting dimensions: warmth, structure, autonomy support, rejection, chaos, and coercion, with four items in each dimension. Participants were 1476 Junior High School Students aged 11-16 years old (48% male, 52% female), recruited from six main islands in Indonesia. Our findings confirmed the original six unipolar factor structures of the Indonesian PSCQ. Of the six factors, five factors with the exception of coercion had acceptable to good reliability. The finding that coercion had no negative correlation with the positive dimensions such as warmth and autonomy support differs from findings in the West, indicating that coercion is considered negative in Western culture but is not the case in Indonesia. This study concluded that PSCQ-Adolescent Report can be used as a valid and reliable measure of the parenting style of Indonesian adolescents
Psychological well-being among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder: The role of family function
Full text linkThe mother of children with autism is the most vulnerable person to have stress and depression. Therefore they need positive psychological well-being to optimize the caring of children. Family is the primary environment in supporting the mother's mental health. This study aimed to find out how family functions correlate with psychological well-being among the mother of a child with autism. A quantitative approach was applied, involving 142 mothers who had autistic children selected through purposive sampling techniques. The data was collected using Family Functioning and Psychological Well-being instruments. The data was then analyzed with regression analysis. The results show that family functioning and psychological well-being are correlated significantly. The more effective family function based on the perception of the mother, the higher the psychological well-being of the mother, and vice versa. Problem-solving, communication, affective response, and role are dimensions that influence psychological well-being, while behavior control and affection dimensions are not significant. The results of the study can provide input suggestions for the government, such as through family empowerment regarding the importance of supporting and optimizing the role of family members to stimulate the psychological well-being of mothers of children with an autism spectrum disorder
The accuracy of Hopkins Symptom Checklist – 25 (HSCL-25) depression subscales (Indonesian version) on adolescents
Full text linkHopkins Symptom Checklist - 25 (HSCL-25) depression subscale is an easy-to-use and mainstream screening tool to detect symptoms of an early stage depression, including for adolescents. Previous studies conducted all over the countries indicated that HSCL-25 has relatively good accuracy. However, there remains to be no accuracy testing of the HSCL-25 in Indonesia. Our study aimed to examine the accuracy of HSCL-25 depression subscales (Indonesian version) in contrast to the semi-structured diagnostic interview as the gold standard. This is a non-experimental study by conducting a diagnostic interview on 40 participants. The diagnostic status obtained from the interviews was then compared to the HSCL-25 scores from the previous study. We analyzed the data using cross-tabulation, Pearson, chi-square, and Receiver Operatic Characteristics (ROC) analysis to obtain the accuracy and optimum cut-off score. Our findings show that HSCL-25 depression subscales have good sensitivity and fairly good specificity. The cut-off score used in this study was optimum to be used as a cut-off point in the prevention context. Thus, we conclude that, with the current optimum cut-off score, HSCL-25 depression subscale is a reasonably good instrument for detecting symptoms of early depression among adolescents
Parenting style, proactive personality, and career decision self-efficacy among senior high school students
Full text linkMaking a career decision is one of the most complex development tasks faced by high school students who will graduate from school. Students need to believe that they would succeed in their effort to do the necessary tasks during the process of career decision-making. This belief is referred to as a career decision self-efficacy. This study examined the influence of parenting style on career decision self-efficacy through the mediation of proactive personality in senior high school students. A total of 949 participants were involved in this study. Data were collected using Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, Parental Authority Questionnaire, and Proactive Personality Scale. Data were analyzed using the regression technique with the Macro Process from Hayes. The regression results show that fathers’ and mothers’ authoritative parenting directly affect career decision self-efficacy; fathers’ and mothers’ authoritarian parenting, as well as mother's permissive parenting, affect the career decision self-efficacy only through the mediation of proactive personality. Also, fathers’ permissive parenting did not have a significant effect on career decisions self-efficacy either directly or indirectly through a proactive personality. Therefore parents – both father and mother – need to involve in developing career decision self-efficacy of their children through parenting process, especially authoritative parenting
