AbstractApplying the main principles of life is important to support the daily life of transmigrant students. As explained by Rokeach (in Sauter, 1984), values are rules and principles which learned to help choose life alternatives, resolve conflicts and make decisions. Related to the concept of value, this study used the basic concepts of Schwartz (2005). The purpose of this research is to test the construct validity of the modified Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) measuring instrument by adjusting the conditions of research respondents. This instrument is used to measure the values of transmigrant students in living their lives and learning processes. Dimensions of this instrument are multidimensional. There are 10 dimensions used in the basic value variable, namely self-direction, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, security, conformity, tradition, benevolence, and universalism with a total of 50 items. This study involved 251 participants, with an age range between 19-21 years. Participants in this study were active students of UIN SyarifHidayatullah Jakarta from outside the Greater Jakarta area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) who currently live in boarding houses, dormitories or rented houses. The factor analysis method used in this study is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with a Lisrel 8.70 program. The test results prove that all subscales fit measure one factor and there are 50 valid items. And these results showed that all of aspect in basic value, which consists of 10 aspects that are multidimensional. CFA test results show that all 10 aspects of basic value are fit with the data.AbstrakUntuk menjalani proses kehidupan dan belajar pada mahasiswa merantau, maka perlu hendaknya mengaplikasikan prinsip-prinsip utama yang ada di dalam diri. Rokeach (dalam Sauter, 1984)menjelaskan bahwa value merupakan prinsip-prinsip yang dipelajari dan aturan untuk membantu memilih alternatif-alternatif yang ada, menyelesaikan konflik dan membuat keputusan. Terkait konsep tentang value, penelitian ini menggunakan konsep dasar dari Schwartz (2005). Tujuan adanya penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji validitas konstruk alat ukur Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) yang dimodifikasi dengan menyesuaikan kondisi responden penelitian. Instrumen ini digunakan untuk mengukur nilai-nilai yang dimiliki mahasiswa rantau dalam menjalani kehidupan dan proses belajar. Dimensi dalam alat ukur ini merupakan multidimensi. Adapun dimensi yang digunakan pada variabel basic value ini adalah sebanyak 10 dimensi, yaitu self direction, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, security, comformity, tradition, benevolence, dan universalism dengan jumlah total aitem sebanyak 53 aitem. Penelitian ini melibatkan 251 partisipan, yakni sebanyak 123 (49%) partisipan laki-laki dan 128 (51%) partisipan perempuan, dengan rentang usia antara 19-21 tahun. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa aktif UIN Jakarta yang berasal dari luar daerah Jabodetabek, yang saat ini tinggal di kostan, asrama atau rumah kontrakan. Metode analisis faktor yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan program lisrel 8.70. Hasil pengujian membuktikan bahwa seluruh subskala fit (sesuai) mengukur model satu faktor dan terdapat 50 aitem yang valid. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa seluruh aspek dalam basic value yang terdiri dari 10 aspek adalah multideimensional. Test CFA menghasilkan 10 aspek basic value yang fit dengan data.

Abstract. The present research aimed at examining measurement invariance of the Serbian version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) across age, gender, and time. A total sample in Study 1 consisted of 2,595 participants from Serbia, with a mean age of 23.79 years (age range: 14–55 years). The final sample in Study 2 included 333 Serbian undergraduate students ( Mage = 20.81; age range: 20–27 years), who completed the SWLS over periods of 6 and 18 months after the initial assessment. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the modified unidimensional model of the SWLS, with correlated residuals of items 4 and 5 tapping past satisfaction. The results of the multigroup confirmatory factor analysis supported the full scalar invariance across gender and over time and partial scalar invariance across age. Latent mean comparisons revealed that women reported higher life satisfaction than men. Additionally, adolescents reported higher life satisfaction than students and adults, with adults showing the lowest life satisfaction. Our findings indicate that the SWLS allows meaningful comparisons in life satisfaction across age, gender, and over time.

Experience has different impacts for each individual. Individuals have several choices in the emotions one feels by regulating emotions. Emotion and emotional regulation take shape in a social context. This makes researchers interested in seeing messages, emotions in a social context. This formation is by looking at the results of the test results of the construct validity of the Indonesian version of the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) measuring instrument which has the same construct as the IERQ measuring instrument from Hofmann, Carpenter and Curtis (2016). It is hoped that this can contribute to measuring emotions that come from the social context in Indonesian. This research was conducted in May 2020 on 202 participants with adolescents aged 12-21 years. The factor analysis method used in this study is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using the Lisrel program. The results of data analysis show that the construct validity of the IERQ measuring instrument which has been entered into Indonesian shows a positive and significant loading factor. This shows the Indonesian version of the IERQ construct with the same construct as the IERQ measuring instrument from Hofmann, Carpenter and Curtis. The results showed that the Indonesian version of the IERQ measuring instrument can be used by researchers to measure emotional regulation in adolescents in Indonesia. The next research can look in more detail and in-depth about the causes of people to do emotional regulation, and can try out the Indonesian version of the IERQ measurement tool on different participants. Pengalaman emosional merupakan suatu pengalaman yang pasti akan dialami oleh semua individu. Pengalaman emosional memberikan dampak yang berbeda-beda untuk setiap individunya. Individu memiliki beberapa pilihan dalam memodifikasi emosi yang dirasakan salah satunya dengan meregulasi emosi. Emosi dan regulasi emosi terbentuk dalam konteks sosial. Hal tersebut membuat peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui pembentukan regulasi emosi dalam konteks sosial. Pembentukan tersebut dengan melihat hasil uji validitas konstruk alat ukur Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) versi Indonesia memiliki konstruk yang sama dengan alat ukur IERQ dari Hofmann, Carpenter dan Curtis (2016). Hal tersebut diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangan alat ukur regulasi emosi yang berasal dari konteks sosial dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2020 terhadap 202 partisipan dengan karakteristik remaja berusia 12-21 tahun. Metode analisis faktor yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan menggunakan program Lisrel. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan validitas konstruk pada alat ukur IERQ yang sudah diterjemahkan kedalam Bahasa Indonesia menunjukan loading factor positif dan signifikan. Hal ini menunjukkan konstruk IERQ versi Bahasa Indonesia memiliki konstruk yang sama dengan alat ukur IERQ dari Hofmann, Carpenter dan Curtis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa alat ukur IERQ versi Bahasa Indonesia dapat dipergunakan oleh para peneliti untuk mengukur regulasi emosi pada remaja di Indonesia. Penelitian berikutnya dapat mengamati lebih mendetail dan mendalam mengenai penyebab orang-orang melakukan regulasi emosi, serta dapat mengujicobakan alat ukur IERQ versi Indonesia pada partisipan yang berbeda.

Context The Disablement in the Physically Active (DPA) scale is a patient-reported outcome instrument recommended for use in clinical practice and research. Analysis of the scale has indicated a need for further psychometric testing. Objective To assess the model fit of the original DPA scale using a larger and more diverse sample and explore the potential for a short-form (SF) version. Design Observational study. Setting Twenty-four clinical settings. Patients or Other Participants Responses were randomly split into 2 samples: sample 1 (n = 690: 353 males, 330 females, and 7 not reported; mean age = 23.1 ± 9.3 years, age range = 11–75 years) and sample 2 (n = 690: 351 males, 337 females, and 2 not reported; mean age = 22.9 ± 9.3 years, age range = 8–74 years). Participants were physically active individuals who were healthy or experiencing acute, subacute, or persistent musculoskeletal injury. Main Outcome Measure(s) Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the factor structure of the original DPA scale. Exploratory factor, internal consistency, covariance modeling, correlational, and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess potential DPA scale SFs. Results The subdimensions of the disablement construct were highly correlated (≥0.89). The fit indices for the DPA scale approached recommended levels, but the first-order correlational values and second-order path coefficients provided evidence for multicollinearity, suggesting that clear distinctions between the disablement subdimensions cannot be made. An 8-item, 2-dimensional solution and a 10-item, 3-dimensional solution were extracted to produce SF versions. The DPA SF-8 was highly correlated (r = 0.94, P ≤ .001, R2 = 0.88) with the DPA scale, and the fit indices exceeded all of the strictest recommendations. The DPA SF-10 was highly correlated (r = 0.97, P ≤ .001, R2 = 0.94) with the DPA scale, and its fit indices values also exceeded the strictest recommendations. Conclusions The DPA SF-8 and SF-10 are psychometrically sound alternatives to the DPA scale.
