Purpose of the study: This study aims to see how orphaned adolescent’s gratitude who grew up in the environment without biological parents which psychologically certainly have different emotions from other normal adolescents. The orphan adolescent’s gratitude is analyzed based on the Islamic perspective in Indonesia as a majority Muslim population country because religion becomes an important foundation for humans to live their lives. Methodology: This study used a qualitative method with observation, interviews, and documentation with 15 orphan adolescents in Sukabumi district, Indonesia. Data analysis was carried out to find the meaning of the data or information obtained in a systematically arranged research, among others: Initial data analysis, make a description, make a final, and making conclusions. Main Findings: The results showed that the orphaned adolescent's gratitude was able to give thanks to both personal and transpersonal. They acknowledge, accept, and utilize gifts from others and the gift of God. They also always do good to others, worship, and do good deeds because of God. So, rise and maximize their potential as a gift of God and avoid the negative behavioral tendencies that accompany their shortcomings. Applications of this study: This study can be useful for the social science research area, specifically in psychology studies. In addition, the results of this study are very useful for the orphan adolescents themselves for the importance of motivating themselves, staying confident, and having a strong sense of gratitude, which is also a concern for the Indonesian government. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study found that several factors that influence gratitude, namely: contemplation with emotional intelligence, input, and advice from family, neighbours, and friends; constructive criticism and judgment of others. This gratitude emerged as a reflection of gratitude understanding from an Islamic perspective. Moreover, this study created a model of orphan adolescent's gratitude based on Islamic perspective.

The Open Research Area (ORA) for Social Sciences is an international initiative that provides social science research funding and support. It was founded in 2010 by members of the Bonn Group and based on agreement by European social science funding bodies The Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), France, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Germany, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), UK, and the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands. The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), Canada, later joined, as well as the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) as an associate member. ORA facilitates collaborative social sciences research by bringing together researchers from participating countries. Researchers from the partner countries who fulfil the eligibility criteria of their national funding organisation apply to the ORA office handling the year's applications and Japanese researchers submit their applications to JSPS Tokyo. ORA accepts applications from all areas of the social sciences and there is a key focus on supporting young researchers at the beginning of their careers, helping them to extend the reach of their work and network on an international scale. Ultimately, ORA exists to drive forward high-quality research and strengthen international collaboration in social sciences research. So far, five rounds of ORA have been successfully completed, with more than 60 international collaborative proposals funded across diverse social sciences fields, including political science, economics, empirical social science, psychology, geography, urban planning and education science.

Determination of criteria and categorization of data in measurement is a crucial moment when processing research data. Overview, exploration and presentation of data will be effective and valid if the criteria set meets the requirements, both from a theoretical and statistical perspective. However, the fact that often arises, especially in beginner researchers made a mistaken in determining the criteria and categories. These errors are often indicated in the form of incomprehension and negligence of researchers in placing data types with the type of methodology. This paper describes various errors in determining criteria and categories of research data, determining criteria and categories of research data, and suggesting their meaning, especially in social science research. This research involved respondents from four different types of assessments, which is 428 respondents from Daharnis-Zadrian Majoring Choices Inventory (DZ-MCI) and 174 respondents from the Acceptability of Mental-Health Mobile-App Survey (AMMS), as well as 1190 respondents from the development of DLAS and DLESS inventory. The results of the study show that the determination of categories and criteria in data processing greatly impacts the truth of data exposure and advanced data analysis. Implications of these studies for determining categories and criteria of research on social science research are discussed

Cybersecurity is one of the most highly contested and yet important topics. How global cyberspace is secured, by whom, and for what purpose touches upon some of the most basic of political questions. This chapter provides a survey of some of the major topics around cybersecurity and highlights some of the outstanding questions or areas for further research. The survey is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather illustrative of some of the core international political questions where evidence-based and theoretically informed social science research will be sorely needed. Cybersecurity researchers will need to explore methods that are not typically within the social science toolkit: techniques drawn from computer science, engineering, data analysis, and software development. Doing so will require bridging disciplinary divides that are not easily overcome—a challenge that may, in reality, take generations to overcome.

Some in the social sciences argue that the same logic applies to both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This book demonstrates that these two paradigms constitute different cultures, each internally coherent yet marked by contrasting norms, practices, and toolkits. The book identifies and discusses major differences between these two traditions that touch nearly every aspect of social science research, including design, goals, causal effects and models, concepts and measurement, data analysis, and case selection. Although focused on the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, the book also seeks to promote toleration, exchange, and learning by enabling scholars to think beyond their own culture and see an alternative scientific worldview. The book is written in an easily accessible style and features a host of real-world examples to illustrate methodological points.

Survey research has a long precedence of use in the social sciences. With a growing interest in the area of social science research in horticulture, survey methodology needs to be explored. In order to conduct proper and accurate survey research, a valid and reliable instrument must be used. In many cases, however, an existing measurement tool that is designed for specific research variables is unavailable thus, an understanding of how to design and evaluate a survey instrument is necessary. Currently, there are no guidelines in horticulture research for developing survey instruments for use with human subjects. This presents a problem when attempting to compare and reference similar research. This workshop will explore the methodology involved in preparing a survey instrument; topics covered will include defining objectives for the survey, constructing questions, pilot testing the survey, and obtaining reliability and validity information. In addition to these topics some examples will be provided which will illustrate how to complete these steps. At the conclusion of this session a discussion will be initiated for others to share information and experiences dealing with creating survey instruments.

Network theoretical and analytic approaches have reached a new level of sophistication in this decade, accompanied by a rapid growth of interest in adopting these approaches in social science research generally. Of course, much social and behavioral science focuses on individuals, but there are often situations where the social environment—the social system—affects individual responses. In these circumstances, to treat individuals as isolated social atoms, a necessary assumption for the application of standard statistical analysis is simply incorrect. Network methods should be part of the theoretical and analytic arsenal available to sociologists. Our focus here will be on the exponential family of random graph distributions, p*, because of its inclusiveness. It includes conditional uniform distributions as special cases.
