The study aimed at investigating the association between maternal and paternal parenting styles and psychological well-being among Indonesian adolescents. The Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale, were administered to 500 adolescents. We were unable to replicate the three-factor solution of the PAQ using confirmatory factor analysis. The permissive subscale demonstrated poor psychometric properties; it was therefore not included in any further analysis. Mothers were perceived to be more authoritative than fathers; on the other hand, fathers were perceived to be more authoritarian than mothers. Both maternal and paternal authoritative parenting styles were positively associated with outcomes. Authoritarian parenting was not associated with any outcome. Scores computed to represent perceived differences between maternal and paternal use of various parenting styles were associated with reported GHQ-12 and life satisfaction scores. Our results confirm Western findings on the positive effects of authoritative parenting, but do not replicate the negative associations of authoritarian parenting. Future studies that examine different parenting styles at the construct level are needed to elucidate the association between parenting styles and adolescent psychological functioning in the Indonesian and other similar contexts.

Despite its popularity, the factorial structure of the Psychological Sense of School Membership (PSSM) Questionnaire remains controversial. The current study set out to clarify its structure across different cultural contexts. The study was carried out among 1,928 adolescents aged 11 to 20 years in the Netherlands, Kenya, Indonesia, and Spain. Item-based measurement models with a single factor did not show a good fit. A bifactor method (defining a method factor for negatively worded items) did not show a good fit either. However, when items were combined per target to be rated (school, student, teacher, other people, and self), measurement invariance of a one-factorial model was found. Internal consistencies observed across the cultural groups studied were high. In addition, an evaluation of functional equivalence indicated that the relationship between PSSM and life satisfaction was invariant across countries. Implications for assessment and future directions are discussed.

There is hardly any cross-cultural research on the measurement invariance of the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scales (BMSLSS). The current article evaluates the measurement invariance of the BMSLSS across cultural contexts. This cross-sectional study sampled 7,739 adolescents and emerging adults in 23 countries. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit of configural and partial measurement weights invariance models, indicating similar patterns and strengths in factor loading for both adolescents and emerging adults across various countries. We found insufficient evidence for scalar invariance in both the adolescents' and the emerging adults' samples. A multi-level confirmatory factor analysis indicated configural invariance of the structure at country and individual level. Internal consistency, evaluated by alpha and omega coefficients per country, yielded acceptable results. The translated BMSLSS across different cultural contexts presents good psychometric characteristics similar to what has been reported in the original scale, though scalar invariance remains problematic. Our results indicate that the BMSLSS forms a brief measure of life satisfaction, which has accrued substantial evidence of construct validity, thus suitable for use in cross-cultural surveys with adolescents and emerging adults, although evaluation of degree of invariance must be carried out to ensure its suitability for mean comparisons.

Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan deskripsi persepsi guru taman kanak-kanak Islam (TKI) terhadap pendidikan seksual anak usia dini berdasarkan teori Health-Belief Model (HBM). Penelitian dilakukan di TKI XYZ menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode kuesioner dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara. HBM mengandung berbagai persepsi individu yang berkaitan dengan perilaku kesehatan. Perilaku kesehatan dalam penelitian ini adalah penerapan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hasil data kuantitatif menunjukkan sebagian besar guru memiliki persepsi netral dalam setiap variabel HBM yaitu 50% guru pada Perceived Susceptibility, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Severity, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Benefit, 68.75% guru pada Perceived Barrier, 62.5% guru pada Cues to Action, 81.25% guru pada Self-Efficacy, dan 56.25% guru pada Perilaku Kesehatan. Data kualitatif menunjukkan guru TKI XYZ belum melakukan Perilaku Kesehatan secara komprehensif. Informasi terkait pendidikan seksual yang disampaikan pada siswa tidak sistematis, bersifat situasional, belum merata kepada seluruh siswa, dan belum dapat di evaluasi keefektifannya. Hal ini disebabkan pemahaman guru yang kurang mengenai kekerasan seksual, perkembangan seksual, dan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hambatan guru dalam menerapkan Perilaku Kesehatan adalah kemampuan diri, faktor budaya, dan persetujuan orangtua siswa. Kata Kunci: persepsi, guru, health-belief model, pendidikan seksual, anak usia dini

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: sikap guru terhadap program inklusif dan melihat hubungan aspek guru dan lingkungan yang diduga berkaitan dengan sikap guru. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif (mixed methods), yaitu dengan penyebaran kuesioner pada 3 SMPN di Jakarta dan wawancara terhadap responden guru. Secara kuantitatif, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masih ada golongan guru yang memiliki sikap negatif. Selain itu, ditemukan aspek yang memiliki korelasi positif, yaitu social political view, teacher's belief, peran kepala sekolah dan orangtua, serta ketersediaan sumber daya. Data kualitatif juga menunjukkan bahwa terdapat keberagaman data dari guru terkait ketersediaan sumber daya yang tersedia, belief, serta harapan akan peran orangtua. Akan tetapi, pendapat dari guru terkait dengan social political view, peran kepala sekolah, dan harapan akan adanya pelatihan relatif memiliki jawaban kualitatif yang serupa.Kata Kunci: sikap guru, program inklusif, anak berkebutuhan khusus (2) TEACHER'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION VIEWED FROM TEACHER AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT Abstract This study aimed: (1) description of teacher's attitude towards inclusive education in their school and
