Abstract

Perceived social support is needed by adolescents to prevent mental health problems and achieve the expected well-being. The absence of social support, whether from parents, teachers, and friends, has an impact on individual feelings and emotions. The urgency of perceived social support for adolescent life requires a valid and reliable instrument to measure the condition of adolescent social support. The purpose of this study was to produce a valid and reliable social support scale for high school students (KraS-DS) using the Rasch model. The quantitative research method used the Rasch Model to evaluate the KraS-DS instrument to ensure its validity and reliability. Participants were 212 adolescents attending high schools in Karanganyar District. Data were collected through a survey using a paper and pencil test. The results of the analysis showed that (1) the person reliability and item reliability of the social support scale can be said to be good, meaning that the items and responses from respondents were quite consistent; (2) item number X4 is the item that has the highest level of difficulty or is difficult to agree with; (3) the function of the rating scale on the social support scale has worked well; and (4) the item discrimination power on the social support scale can be said to be good, even though items 7 and 8 do not fit the Rasch model.

Abstract

Resilience is a crucial psychological construct that enables university students to navigate academic and social challenges effectively. Despite its significance, gender-based differences in resilience remain underexplored in the context of Indonesian higher education. This study aimed to identify differences in resilience between male and female students using a psychometric approach based on the Rasch Model. A total of 1,046 students from public and private universities across 19 provinces in Indonesia participated in the study by completing a 20-item resilience scale tailored to academic settings. The Rasch analysis was used to assess item reliability, unidimensionality, and differential item functioning (DIF) across gender groups. The results indicated strong psychometric performance, with person reliability of 0.89 and item reliability of 0.99. The scale was confirmed to be unidimensional, and item difficulty ranged from −0.99 to 1.33 logits. Although the raw scores of male and female students were similar, DIF analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in resilience levels (F = 8.79, p = 0.003), with male students scoring higher (mean logit = 2.16) than female students (mean logit = 1.86). These findings highlight the presence of gender-based differences in resilience and emphasize the need for culturally sensitive interventions tailored to the psychological needs of each gender in higher education settings. The Rasch Model proved to be a robust method for detecting subtle psychological variations in diverse student populations.
