Abstract

Meaning in life is an important psychological resource that contributes to adolescents’ well-being, academic engagement, and positive development. However, empirical evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) among students in Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) remains limited. This study aimed to examine the construct validity and reliability of the MLQ in the context of Islamic boarding school education in Indonesia. A quantitative methodological design was employed involving 125 students aged 14–17 years from several Islamic boarding schools in Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with LISREL 8.80. The findings revealed that only one indicator met the recommended criterion for convergent validity (λ = 0.51; t = 6.13), whereas most indicators demonstrated relatively low factor loadings, and two indicators exhibited negative and non-significant loadings. Despite these limitations, the overall measurement model demonstrated an acceptable level of fit (χ² = 45.22, p = .12, RMSEA = .049, GFI = .93, SRMR = .073). The findings suggest that the original MLQ does not fully capture the culturally embedded meaning of life among santri and requires further cultural adaptation and psychometric refinement

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to evaluate the construct validity and factor structure of the Indonesian version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3. Methodology: A quantitative methodological validation design was conducted with 132 Indonesian science teachers selected through purposive sampling. The instrument was culturally adapted through forward translation, back translation, expert content validation, and pilot testing. Construct validity was examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), including the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) measure, Bartlett's Test of Sphericity, Measure of Sampling Adequacy (MSA), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Main Findings: The Indonesian version demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties. The KMO value (0.795) and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity (p < .001) confirmed the suitability of the data for factor analysis. All items achieved MSA values and factor loadings above 0.50. EFA identified a six-factor structure, supporting the multidimensional nature of loneliness among Indonesian teachers and providing evidence of acceptable construct validity. Novelty/Originality of this study: The findings indicate that the Indonesian version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing teacher loneliness. This study provides the first psychometric validation of the scale among Indonesian teachers. The validated instrument offers practical implications for educational psychology research, psychological assessment, and the development of interventions to promote teachers' psychological well-being.
