Abstract

Psychological tests in Indonesia have been evolving very slowly. Most psychological practice is still using outdated versions of tests. Psychometric properties such as validity, reliability, and even norms are often based on outdated data or entirely omitted in the manual. Thus, the ability of the tests to yield valid data for various purposes is highly questionable. Most test users, including the psychological community, seem to be indifferent to this situation as they keep using these tests despite the risk of error in the test results which could have legal implications. In this study, we did a survey about test users’ attitudes towards psychological tests. We recruited 149 participants, of which 71.8% were female. The age ranged from 22 to 71 years old (M = 29.4; SD = 7.32). The survey assessed participants’ opinion toward legal properties of psychological test on a five-point scale. All participants had an undergraduate or higher degree in Psychology. The results were interesting. Participants acknowledge that they should use reputable test even though they perceived the price is too expensive. Also, they are willing to pay if those tests are up to date and provide adequate psychometric properties. The results indicate that there is a big opportunity for psychologists and psychometricians to gather forces to fulfill these needs and make more con-tribution to the society.

Abstract

In this research, we investigated the external validity of WAIS-IV-ID using other intelligence tests and educational achievement as criteria. We had 194 participants in total. The results showed the Full-Scale IQ score (FSIQ) of the WAIS-IV-ID had moderate yet significant correlation with three intelligence tests, namely Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM, n = 194), Cattell’s Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT, n = 134), and the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale (WBIS, n = 44). There was also a significant positive correlation between the FSIQ and educational achievement score, the Grade Point Average (GPA, n = 51). The four indexes of the WAIS-IV-ID had a significant positive correlation with the SPM, CFIT, and WBIS, except for Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI). We found significant correlations between full-scale IQ with GPA. For the index score, we found significant correlations between Processing Speed Index (PSI) with GPA. We conclude that the WAIS-IV-ID is valid externally.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the intelligence of Indonesians residing in different islands using the Indonesian WAIS-IV (WAIS-IV-ID), which could be further considered in standardized norm development. Statistical analyses using ANOVAs were performed on the 15 subtests, four indices, and the Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) of the WAIS-IV-ID. This study involved 506 healthy participants, the majority were females, in productive age-groups ranging from 16 to 59 years old, and from middle educational background. Results showed that three indices and 13 subtest scores had significant results and the sample from Java Island had significantly higher scores than the sample from Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi Islands. Based on the conducted analysis, the normative data of the WAIS-IV-ID need to be classified differently between islands or between Java Island and Non-Java Island for more accurate score interpretation. The interpretations and implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract

This study is a first attempt to develop a new instrument using the Implicit Association Test (IAT) method. Researchers have tried to use this method in social psychology research, particularly to measure the construct of national identity. The national identity is a multi-dimensional construct and has several fundamental attributes, namely the same territorial, historical memories, culture, general rights laws and obligations for all members, and equal rights in the economic and territorial mobilization for group members. The study was conducted with 48 participants aged 17-23 years (M = 18.98, SD = 1.25). The result showed that the correlation between explicit and implicit measures on the construct of national identity was positive but not significant. Moreover, the explicit and implicit measurement did not provide the same pattern; indicating that both measurements measure national identity construct from a different point of view. Next, we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the two measurement methods in the Discussion section and then, provide recommendations for further studies.

Abstract

Construct validity with a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method is often used by researchers to identify the structure of psychological measurement. Although this CFA method has provided a complete evaluation of the structure of the test, sometimes there is no consensus reached regarding the number of factors. With the CFA method, researchers determined and compared several models to choose the adequate scale structure, including the number of factors in a scale. The network analysis can play a role to help researchers. In this network analysis, the results of the analysis presented in a visual form, which can facilitate the researchers quickly identify the scale structure based on the relations, displayed in the form of lines (thick-thin) and colors (green-red). Current research aims to test the reliability and construct validity; also, shows that network analysis can be an alternative in presenting visualizations and interpretations compare with factor analysis methods, especially CFA. We used The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) with 954 participants aged 16-57 years. The results are either, with the CFA analysis method or network analysis; it is evident that ERQ has two factors, namely suppression and reappraisal. The results show that the network analysis method can be used as an alternative in identifying the structure of the psychological scale.

Abstract

Open-source apps and software allow psychological science researchers to collect and analyze data in a more economical and accountable manner. For those who are not convinced yet, this short letter offers a series of arguments and recommendations for adopting open-source apps for data collection and analysis. We put particular emphasis on how using open-source apps support the open science movement by allowing researchers to share research instruments, anonymized data, and data analysis script. Sharing, in turn, facilitates audit, replication, and collaboration, which benefit science in general. Aplikasi dan perangkat lunak sumber terbuka (open-source) memungkinkan ilmuwan psikologi untuk mengumpulkan dan menganalisis data dengan cara yang lebih ekonomis dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Bagi mereka yang belum yakin, surat pendek ini menawarkan serangkaian argumen dan rekomendasi untuk mengadopsi aplikasi sumber terbuka untuk pengumpulan dan analisis data. Kami memberikan penekanan khusus pada bagaimana penggunaan aplikasi sumber terbuka mendukung gerakan sains terbuka dengan memungkinkan ilmuwan berbagi instrumen penelitian, data yang dianonimkan, dan skrip analisis data. Berbagi data, instrumen, dan skrip analisis, pada gilirannya, akan memudahkan audit, replikasi, dan kolaborasi, yang bermanfaat bagi ilmu pengetahuan secara umum.
