abstractThe sampling technique used in this study is non-probability sampling technique that is purposive sampling. In this study used Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) developed by Spanier (1976), Big Five Inventory (BFI) developed by John, O. P & Srivastava, S. (1999) and Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Salovey & Mayer (1990). The validity of the measuring instrument was tested using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) technique with Lisrel 8.70 software and to test the research hypothesis using multiple regression analysis using SPSS 21 software. The results of the study using multiple regression analysis showed that all independent variables used had a significant effect on marital adjustment with a variant proportion of 16.4%, while the remaining 83.6% is influenced by other variables other than research. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of each variable separately show that the personality type variables conscientiousness and openness to experience have a significantly to marital adjustment. While personality types extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticsm, emotional intelligence, gender, duration of marriage and income not significant effect on marital adjustment.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh tipe kepribadian big five extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticsm, openness, kecerdasan emosional, jenis kelamin, usia perkawinan dan penghasilan terhadap penyesuaian perkawinan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 220 individu Betawi yang telah menikah dengan usia perkawinan 1-5 tahun. Teknik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teknik non-probability sampling yaitu purposive sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan alat ukur Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) dikembangkan oleh Spanier (1976), Big Five Inventory (BFI) dikembangkan oleh John, O. P & Srivastava, S. (1999) dan Emotional Intelligence Scale dikembangkan Salovey & Mayer (1990). Validitas alat ukur diuji dengan menggunakan teknik Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan software Lisrel 8.70 dan untuk menguji hipotesis penelitian menggunakan analisis regresi berganda dengan menggunakan software SPSS 21. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa seluruh variabel bebas yang digunakan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyesuaian perkawinan dengan proporsi varian sebesar 16,4%, sedangkan sisanya 83,6% dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain diluar penelitian. Sementara, hasil analisis masing-masing variabel secara terpisah menunjukan bahwa variabel tipe kepribadian conscientiousness dan openness to experience berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyesuaian perkawinan. Sedangkan tipe kepribadian extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticsm, kecerdasan emosional, jenis kelamin, usia perkawinan dan penghasilan tidak signifikan berpengaruh terhadap penyesuaian perkawinan.

Methods/Statistical analysis: A questionnaire survey was conducted and 160 college students who are familiar with mobile exercise applications participated. The data analyzed with frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural correlation analysis. The validity and the reliability were obtained: customer delight (χ2=26.532, df=14, CFI=.985, TLI=.971, RMSEA=.075), exercise commitment (χ2=113.802, df=49, CFI=.956, TLI=.941, RMSEA=.091), and psychological happiness (χ2=15.338, df=8, CFI=.989, TLI=.980, RMSEA=.076, and Cronbach’s α=.906~.938).

The present study sought to develop a scale to measure the values adoption of primary school children and explore whether emotional intelligence of primary school children is associated with values which are taught through curricular activities. First, the Value Adoption Scale (VAS) was developed in Study 1 by conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and correlation was examined in Study 2. Data were collected using the Ten Years Emotional Intelligence Scale (TYEIS) and the Value Scale consisting of eight items. Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. Results of data analysis indicated that there was a moderate correlation between emotional intelligence and values, but regression analysis revealed that emotional intelligence had weak predictive power for values adoption. It was concluded that teaching values through curricular activities is not useful to foster emotional intelligence among primary school children. Results of the research are discussed and addressed along with the relevant literature.

This research developed the Scale of Protective Factors (SPF-24) to measure protective factors contributing to resilience. We investigated the factor structure of 35 items. After exploratory factor analysis, we subjected 25 items representing 2 social-interpersonal and 2 cognitive-individual factors to confirmatory factor analysis. The sample consisted of 942 college students from 3 studies and 2 institutions. To examine the diagnostic function of the SPF, we used clinical criteria to identify a subsample of participants who had experienced violent trauma and scored low, moderate, or high on an established resilience scale. Results showed that the low-resilient group scored significantly lower on all subscales of the SPF with marked differences in prioritizing/planning behavior. Implications for the research and clinical settings are discussed.

This study aims to analyze trust in the relationship between staff and customers in the banking sector, its influence on financial performance in the level of emotional intelligence (EI) and their trust. Respondents were asked to complete EI tests and questions related to trust behavior. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis are used to identify relationships. Trust's findings are known to consist of three components: trustworthy; knowledge; and expectations. Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between trust and EI, when compared to the financial performance of relationship managers. Research weaknesses/ implications The method used by banks in collecting performance data limits the analysis that can be held. Practical implications increasing relationship manager awareness of their own emotions, and how they perceive and act on the emotions of others, will positively influence financial performance.

There are limitations in existing conflict management instruments used in China. Therefore, we translated the Dutch Test of Conflict Handling (DUTCH), and then examined the reliability and validity of this Chinese Revised version (DUTCH-CR). Participants were 2,035 college students at 4 universities in China. We conducted exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis on data from questionnaires completed by the participants. Our findings show that the DUTCH-CR is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the handling of conflicts between Chinese college students. Further, we found that 4 conflict-handling styles are more suitable for Chinese college students. This was achieved by merging the problem-solving and compromising factors into a collaborating one, and retaining the yielding, avoiding, and forcing factors of the original DUTCH instrument.
