Exploratory factor analysis of the Indonesian version of MMPI-2-RF Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is the world’s most frequently used scale, both in clinical assessment and psychiatric setting. This measure has been revised several times with MMPI-2-RF (Restructured Form) being the latest version. The Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales, which contains nine sub-scales, is the primary clinical scale in MMPI-2-RF. This scale replaces the Clinical Scales from the previous version of MMPI. This research aimed to analyze the construct validity of the RC Scales using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) technique. The sample of this research involved 279 participants (male = 26.5%; female = 73.5%) with an average of 21.63 years old. The obtained data was analyzed using EFA through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Results showed that Restructured Clinical Scales consisted of one factor solution, namely psychological disorder. The number of the factors, as well as the structure, was different from the US version of MMPI-2-RF Restructured Clinical Scales. Through these findings, MMPI-2-RF users in Indonesia are expected to be more cautious when interpreting the Restructured Clinical Scales sub-scales score

Personality Profile Differences Between Prisoners and Non-Prisoners Using the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5)

Prison provides correctional function for prisoners. There are some factors needed to be considered to enable the correctional process work optimally, one of them is the personality of prisoners. We need to consider this because there are different kinds of prisoners with different criminal backgrounds. This study aimed to identify the personality profiles of prisoners, including violent offenders, non-violent offenders and drug offenders, using the Indonesian version of Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). We compared the personality profiles of the prisoners’ groups with the non-prisoner’s group in order to have more accurate personality profiles. The samples consisted of groups of violent offenders (n = 96, mean age = 27.99 years old), non-violent offenders (n = 79, mean age = 35.55 years old), drug offenders (n = 180, mean age = 32.90 years old), and non-prisoners (n = 245, mean age = 23.31 years old). Analyses using a series of One-Way ANOVA at the level of domains and facets of personality showed differences in the personality profiles of the three groups of prisoners and non-prisoner. In comparison to the non-prisoner group, the drug offender group was found having the largest number of differences in the personality profiles, whilst the non-violent offender group had the least number of personality profile differences

The Development of a Performance Validity Test (PVT) for Indonesia

Neuropsychological tests are proliferating in Indonesia. So far, unfortunately, it is not accompanied by the development of a performance validity test (PVT). According to international neuropsychological standards, using PVTs is essential to determine the validity of the neuropsychological test results. To date, there is no single standardized PVT available in Indonesia. In this article, we describe (1) the concept of performance validity testing, (2) the detection strategy, and (3) the procedure of PVT. Furthermore, several factors which affect PVT failure and its implication on the interpretation of a neuropsychological assessment are discussed. Considering the importance of PVTs incorporation and that it has become a standard by some neuropsychological associations, it is crucial to develop PVTs in Indonesia. Finally, the utilization of PVT should be performed cautiously, as many factors might influence the PVT result

The Dynamics Of Self-Concept Of Dual Instagram Account User (Public And Private Account)

The current study aimed at depicting the dynamics of self-concept of the Instagram user who possesses two accounts. The first account (public account) exhibits the user's identifiable identity, while the second account (private account) does not show the original identity of the user. The present study employed a narrative qualitative approach aiming at viewing the self-concept dynamics of dual account user. There were three samples who were selected by using purposive sampling. The data were collected by using an in-depth interview. The data were analyzed using data triangulation The finding of the study showed that in the public account, the participants would behave in accordance with self-image or impression they intend to build, while in private account, the participants did not attempt to create a positive self-image or impression. The present study can be used as a reference in understanding the self-concept of the dual social media account user

Structural Validity and Reliability of the Indonesian Version of PID-5

<jats:p> Abstract. Many studies have evaluated the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) validity and reliability. Unfortunately, research on PID-5 in Southeast Asian countries is still limited. This study aimed to identify the structural validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of PID-5. We involved 963 participants, and 68 of these participants filled the PID-5 twice. Facets and domains showed a satisfactory test–retest reliability (median r for facets = .84; median r for domains = .88), and acceptable McDonald’s omega indices (median ω for facets = .85; median ω for domains = .79). The hierarchical factor structure suggested that five-factor solution was interpretable, and this model showed a high congruency to its original version (ϕ = .97). Unfortunately, we could not achieve a model fit of this five-factor model. We hypothesized that the cultural influence and sample characteristics might explain this poor model fit. Finally, cautious administration and interpretation of PID-5 in Indonesia are highly recommended. </jats:p&gt

Exploratory Factor Analysis for Indonesian Version of PID-5

Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is an instrument aimed for measuring pathological personality trait based on DSM-5’s Personality Disorders model which contains five pathological personality domains and divided into 25 pathological personality facets. The form of this instrument is a self-report consisting 220 items. The development of Indonesian Version of PID-5 is considered important because the existence of this instrument will assist the clinicians to identify the personality disorders based on DSM-5. This study performs the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique for all PID-5 facets to test the construct validity and to acknowledge the structure of factor in this Indonesian version of PID-5. This test was carried out by involving samples from 245 normal individual population (male = 88, female = 157) with an average of 23.31 years old. The result of EFA test showed that the amount of factors generated by the Indonesian version of PID-5 facets were six factors, which differs from the amount of factors generated by the original version of PID-5. This finding has similarities with other studies about personality instruments using the basic theory of &nbsp;Big-5 in Asia
