Beberapa tantangan dalam penelitian kuantitatif yang masih belum bisa diatasi selama ini adalah validitas ekologis pada penelitian eksperimen dan recall bias pada penelitian survey. Guna menjawab permasalahan tersebut, penulis tertarik dengan penggunaan Diary Study/ Experience Sampling Method (ESM). ESM merupakan metode pengumpulan data secara berkala yang bersifat real-time di latar alami partisipan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode systematic literature review untuk menganalisis definisi, prosedur serta kelebihan dan kekurangan ESM. Berdasar hasil telaah pustaka, ESM diketahui dapat menggambarkan proses inter maupun intra-individu, memiliki validitas ekologis yang bagus, meminimalisasi recall bias dan mendapatkan data yang beragam. Sayangnya, penggunaan ESM masih terkendala beberapa hal seperti self-selction bias, atrisi, motivasi serta kompleksnya managemen maupun teknik analisis data yang digunakan. Hal-hal yang dapat mengatasi permasalahan tersebut telah didiskusikan. Abstract. Some existing challenges in quantitative research are ecological validity in experimental psychology and recall bias in the survey study. In order to answer those questions, the author was interested in the experience sampling method (ESM) or diary study. ESM is a research method that collects data frequently in participants’ real-world settings. This study performed a systematic literature review to analyze the definition, procedures, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of ESM. According to the literature review, ESM is known to describe both intra-individual (within-subject) and extra-individual (between-subject) processes, has better ecological validity compared to experimental research, can minimize recall bias, and was able to obtain various data. Unfortunately, there were some drawbacks such as self-selection bias, attrition, motivation, also the complexity of its data management and analysis. Some procedures to minimize those issues have been discussed.

Mahasiswa penghafal Al-Qur’an setiap harinya dituntut untuk disiplin menyelesaikan target setoran hafalan ditambah harus menyelesaikan tugas kuliah. Grit sendiri merupakan salah satu trait yang penting bagi individu yang menggambarkan kegigihan dalam mencapai sesuatu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara harapan dengan Grit pada mahasiswa penghafal Al Qur’an. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif korelasional. Subjek yang diteliti berjumlah 88 dengan kriteria; 1) mahasiswa aktif S1 UIN Sunan Kalijaga, 2) berusia 18-25 tahun, dan 2) mempunyai hafalan minimal 3 Juz. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah skala harapan dan skala Grit yang disusun oleh peneliti berdasarkan teori yang sudah ada. Analisis regresi sederhana dilakukan melalui JAMOVI versi 2.2.5 dengan hasil yang menunjukkan ditolaknya hipotesis null (F(1;86) = 80,7; p < 0,001; R2 = 0,48). Pengaruh harapan terhadap Grit diketahui positif dengan sumbangan efektif sebesar 48%. Harapan dapat digunakan sebagai prediktor Grit mahasiswa penghafal Al Qur’an dengan rumus prediksi Y = 19,31 + 0,86 X; artinya ketika skor harapan naik 1 maka Grit akan mengalami kenaikan skor sebesar 0,86

Ideal partner preferences (i.e., ratings of the desirability of attributes like attractiveness or intelligence) are the source of numerous foundational findings in the interdisciplinary literature on human mating. Recently, research on the predictive validity of ideal partner preference-matching (i.e., do people positively evaluate partners who match versus mismatch their ideals?) has become mired in several problems. For one, articles exhibit discrepant analytic and reporting practices. Furthermore, different findings emerge across laboratories worldwide, perhaps because they sample different relationship contexts and/or populations. The current project—partnered with the Psychological Science Accelerator—can bring clarity to this literature. This registered report uses a highly powered design across multiple world regions to calculate preference-matching effect sizes and variability estimates for all relevant analytic tests. It also examines effects in different relationship contexts and subsamples (e.g., attraction, established relationships, recently formed relationships).

Self-adjustment is one of the required abilities in every individual, especially adolescents. One of the factors that can influence self-adjustment is emotional intelligence. This study aims to investigate the role of emotional intelligence training on self-adjustment on female muslim students. This study used the quantitative true experiment method with pre test-post test control group design. Participants were 24 female students who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Data were collected using Self-Adjustment Scale. Method of analysis used was non-parametric technique (Friedman Test and Mann Whitney-U Test). Friedman Test showed a significant improvement of self-adjustment score in experimental group. On the other hand, there was no significant change of self-adjustment score in control group. Further analysis by Mann Whitney-U Test found that the pre test-post test score difference was significant between experiment and control group. Based on these results, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence training is effective to increase self-adjustment on female muslim students.
