(1) Background: Few studies have investigated (demographic) correlates of (prevalent) overweight rates among early adolescents, especially from higher socioeconomic positions (SEP) in developing countries, such as Indonesia. The current study aims to fill this gap. (2) Methods: Participants included 411 adolescents from five private schools in Indonesia. Adolescents’ weight and height were measured, and adolescents completed questionnaires on demographic factors (i.e., sex, school area, ethnicity, pocket money) and previous year dieting. (3) Results: Results showed that more than one-third of the sample was overweight, with higher rates among adolescent males (47%) than females (24%). Moreover, adolescents attending schools in urban areas (compared with suburban areas), and those reporting past dieting (compared with those reporting no dieting) had higher overweight rates. Ethnicity and the amount of pocket money were not related to overweight status. Finally, a clear sex-specific interaction was found involving school area, showing that males in urban areas had a significantly higher risk to be overweight, whereas this did not apply to females. (4) Conclusions: males from urban area private schools in Indonesia may be an important target group for future preventive overweight interventions.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat kontribusi optimisme terhadap coping stress. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode regresi linear. Populasi penelitian ini yaitu Mahasiswa yang sedang Mengontrak Mata Kuliah Penulisan Proposal Skripsi Fakultas Psikologi Universitas “X” Bandung, sebanyak 142 mahasiswa.
Kuesioner optimisme disusun berdasarkan teori Seligman (1990) dengan 43 aitem yang valid (r=0,32-0,62) dan reliabilitas sebesar r=0,728. Kuesioner coping stress dibuat oleh Lazarus & Folkman (1984), dengan 48 aitem yang valid (r=0,302–0,700) dan reliabilitas problem focused coping sebesar 0,718 dan emotion focused coping sebesar 0,750 yang artinya reliabilitas tinggi.
Kesimpulan yang diperoleh adalah terdapat kontribusi yang signifikan pada optimisme terhadap emotion focused coping (R2=0,050) dan tidak terdapat kontribusi yang signifikan pada optimisme terhadap problem focused coping (R2=0,019) pada mahasiswa yang sedang mengontrak mata kuliah Penulisan Proposal Skripsi Fakultas Psikologi Universitas “X” Bandung. Peneliti mengajukan saran untuk penelitian selanjutnya, dapat meneliti faktor lain yang berkontribusi terhadap problem focused coping. Untuk Fakultas, dapat mengadakan seminar mengenai pentingnya optimisme untuk mengurangi stressor di perkuliahan dengan coping stress yang efektif.
