Kesetaraan Skala Psikologi yang Disajikan Daring dan Luring: Kajian Literatur Deskriptif

Pandemi Covid-19 menuntut berbagai aktivitas dijalankan secara berbeda dari biasanya. Skala psikologi yang sebelumnya disajikan secara offline (luring) diubah menjadi online (daring). Terdapat kelebihan dan kelemahan dalam penyajian skala psikologi secara daring. Salah satu kelebihannya adalah memungkinkan lebih banyak orang untuk mengisinya, sedangkan kekurangannya adalah sulitnya melakukan pengontrolan dalam kondisi terstandar. Pertanyaan yang mendasar adalah apakah kualitas skala psikologi yang disajikan secara daring setara dengan skala yang disajikan secara luring. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian literatur terhadap penelitian-penelitian yang membandingkan skala psikologi secara daring dan luring. Kajian literatur deskriptif dilakukan terhadap 10 penelitian dengan jumlah responden yang bervariasi. Hasil kajian literatur menunjukkan adanya kesetaraan skala daring dan luring, berdasarkan properti psikometrinya. Dari 10 penelitian, hanya satu penelitian yang menunjukkan adanya perbedaan struktur internal dari skala yang disajikan secara daring dan luring. Pemeriksaan terhadap properti psikometri suatu skala perlu dilakukan sebelum sebuah skala luring dapat diberikan secara daring

Differences in Men’s Body Dissatisfaction Based on the Type of Exercise Motivation

Exercising at a fitness center is one of the methods to obtain an ideal body shape.The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in body dissatisfactions based on the type of exercise motivation. Participants were 100 male members of a fitness center who exercise at least twice a week for at least one hour per session. Measures used were body dissatisfaction questionnaire (Tylka, Bergeron, & Schwartz, 2005) and exercise motivation questionnaire by Markland and Tobin (cited in Vlachopoulos, 2012). Results showed a difference in body dissatisfaction between men with internal exercise motivation and those with external exercise motivation (Z = - 3.142, p < .05). Men who engaged exercises as driven by external exercise motivation had higher body dissatisfaction than those with internal motivation. This indicates that men with external exercise motivation were more dissatisfied with their body image, who were more likely to quit exercising if they did not obtain the expected result, or else they became obsessive with exercises because they was dissatisfied with their figures

Effect of safety climate on safety behavior in employees: The mediation of safety motivation

The number of work accidents in production employees is high. One reason is the lack of compliance of employees with workplace safety rules. The necessary aspects that can improve workplace safety are safety climate and safety motivation. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of safety climate on safety behavior both directly and indirectly mediated by safety motivation. Three scales were used in this study, namely the safety behavior scale, the safety climate scale, and the safety motivation scale. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients were 0.898, 0.922, and 0.896. The respondents were 78 employees in the production, processing, and quality assurance section. Data were analyzed using regression analysis. The result showed the direct effect (β = 0.272) and the indirect effect of safety climate on safety behavior (β = 0.281). The effect of climate safety on safety behavior was partially mediated by safety motivation

Stimulus Gambar: Sebuah Kajian pada Instrumen Minat Vokasional

Vocational interest instruments are mostly based on verbal stimuli which require subjects’ reading ability. Another form of stimuli is needed for the populations that have reading difficulty. This article offers an explanation of using pictures as stimuli in the development of an instrument to assess adolescents’ vocational interest as well as the steps in developing pictorial stimuli. Compared to verbal, pictorial stimuli are closer to real life and have supporting information related to the activities. However, some limitation in using pictorial stimuli such as difficulty in describing hardly observable behavior and ambiguity of the pictures that can affect individual interpretation need to be considered
