The Role of Perceived Uncertainty, Ego Identity, and Perceived Behavioral Control in Predicting Patient's Attitude Toward Medical Surgery

Medical surgery has sometimes become the only best choice for a patient's well-being. Unfortunately, not all patients have the willingness to live it. Often, therapeutic failure is caused by uncooperative attitudes of the patients which originate from their negative attitudes toward the surgery. This research is aimed at finding a theoretical model to explain psychological factors forming the patient's attitudes. This predictive correlational research was conducted on 99 patients suffering heart disease and cancer continuum who require medical surgery in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. Research results showed that a commitment aspect of ego identity is able to indirectly predict attitude toward medical surgery through mediation of perceived uncertainty. Perceived behavioral control directly predicts the attitude in a negative direction. This research concludes that patients' commitment towards their identity plays a significant role as they deal with medical surgery

Corruptive Tendencies, Conscientiousness, and Collectivism

This research investigated the relation between conscientiousness, collectivism, and corrupt tendency–which is represented by moral emotions (shame and guilt proneness). The study was conducted on 117 students (76 male, 41 female; M = 18.93 years old; SD = 1.67 years old) in Jakarta. The result shows that collectivism has positive predictive correlation with the tendency of not doing corruption and that conscientiousness is not able to predict corrupt tendencies. Collectivism of which every group member has as a strong moral identity is suggested to be the ideal ecological situation which need to be built to prevent corruption in Indonesia

Apakah Kreativitas dan Sikap terhadap Ilmu Ekonomi Meramalkan Partisipasi Politik Mahasiswa? Peran Mediasi Efikasi Politik pada Mahasiswa di Malang, Jawa Timur

The research found that creativity and attitude toward economics are significant predictors for students’ political participation intention and this prediction is mediated by political efficacy and the necessary political experience (Chi-Square = 8.24, df = 5, P-value = 0.14349, GFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.08). &nbsp

Isu Etik dalam Penelitian di Bidang Kesehatan

Buku ini ditulis secara multidisipliner oleh para dokter, ahli farmasi, dan psikolog. Hampir seluruh penulis bukan merupakan etikawan atau teoris etika. Komposisi penulis seperti ini jarang ditemukan, bila bukan tiada, dalam literatur etika penelitian kesehatan di Indonesia. Hal ini sekaligus menjadi ciri distingtif dari buku ini karena buku etika di bidang kesehatan di Indonesia pada umumnya ditulis oleh filsuf atau teoris dalam bidang moral atau etika. Penulisan buku ini mau melengkapi perbendaharaan buku-buku bioetika dan etika penelitian kesehatan yang sudah ada di Indonesia. Hal ini menggambarkan adanya kepedulian aksiologis dari para penulis. Meskipun etika "sedang naik daun" (Bertens, 2001), tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa kepedulian semacam ini sangatlah langka di tengah-tengah sikap pragmatis ilmuwan dan profesi serta berbagai bentuk pengabaian untuk melakukan refleksi etis terhadap keputusan-keputusan yang akan, sedang, atau sudah diambilnya .... (Buku) ini menunjukkan kesadaran ilmuwan dan praktisi penelitian di bidang kesehatan mengenai urgensi penguasaan state of the art isu-isu etis yang berkenaan dengan metodologi maupun isi dari ilmu dan praktiknya sendiri. Hal ini merupakan syarat perlu agar ilmuwan dan praktisi lebih bertanggung jawab dalam memberikan pandangan dan penilaian etis serta menentukan tindakan etisnya

Data from an international multi-centre study of statistics and mathematics anxieties and related variables in university students (the SMARVUS dataset)

This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students from 100 universities in 35 countries, collected in 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, and the cognitive reflection test, and collected demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported and official statistics grades, and statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including testing links between anxieties and statistics/mathematics education factors, and examining instruments’ psychometric properties across different languages and contexts. Data and metadata are stored on the Open Science Framework website [https://osf.io/mhg94/]
