Abstract

Suicide is the fourth leading cause of premature death among emerging adults, with significant implications for public health. In Indonesia, the prevalence of suicide cases has reached 6,544, although this figure likely underrepresents the true extent of the issue. Alarmingly, only a small percentage of Indonesian adolescents, approximately 2.6%, seek psychological assistance despite the pressing need for mental health support. This study investigates the roles of suicide literacy and stigma in shaping attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Data were collected through an online survey involving 397 respondents. The analysis utilized multiple linear regression to assess the contributions of suicide literacy, stigma, and various demographic factors to attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help. Findings indicated that while suicide literacy, stigma, and demographic variables collectively contribute to attitudes toward seeking professional help, only suicide stigma and demographic factors (college major and family relation) significantly influenced these attitudes. This study underscores the critical need to address and reduce suicide stigma as a means of fostering positive attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among emerging adults in Indonesia.

Abstract

Trust is an important foundation in a healthy and sustainable romantic relationship. This study aims to test the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Trust in Close Relationship Scale adapted from Rempel, Holmes, and Zanna (1985). A total of 416 respondents (208 heterosexual couples) aged 18–65 years were recruited through a purposive sampling technique. The instrument consists of 26 items measuring three dimensions of trust: faith, dependability, and predictability. The validation procedure includes content validity testing using Aiken's V, readability testing, and construct validity through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Convergent validity was tested using the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS-32) and discriminant validity with the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). The EFA results showed a three-factor structure, but two factors included items across the original dimensions, which were later renamed to Belief, Predictability, and Reliability. CFA on 16 selected items showed adequate model fit (CFI=0.939; TLI=0.928; RMSEA=0.0683). Convergent validity showed that Reliability and Predictability were positively correlated with relationship quality (DAS-32), while Confidence showed a negative correlation. Discriminant validity showed a weak relationship between trust dimensions and personality (TIPI). Reliability tests showed high internal consistency (α=0.720–0.921). This study concluded that the Indonesian version of the Trust Scale is valid and reliable for measuring trust in romantic relationships, although differences in factor structure were found that were influenced by local cultural contexts
