This study aims to provide the latest information about the reliability and validity of the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) in the context of Indonesia. In this study, we use data (N = 583) that has been provided, with an age range between 13-61 years old. The researcher used Cronbach's Alpha method to test the reliability of SPM and the criterion validity method with the Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) as a measurement benchmark to test SPM's external validity. The results showed that SPM has reliability 0,84. SPM also proved valid with criterion validity method (r (136) = 0,64, r 2 = 0,41, p < 0,01). Future research could explore the diagnostic utility of the SPM with specific groups, such as groups of intellectually gifted individuals and groups of individuals with disabilities intelligence.

This study aimed to explore key professionals’ attitudes towards people with intellectual disability (ID) and inclusion of said people in the community. Eighteen participants from three professional groups, comprising health practitioners (medical doctors, psychologists), mainstream/special education teachers, and religious leaders (Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, and Buddhism) were recruited. Semistructured interviews, aided by two vignettes depicting mild and severe ID, were conducted. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Seven themes were identified exploring: perceived causes; use of terminology; attitudes towards people with ID; attitudes towards inclusion, religion and ID; family-centric support; and challenges faced by people with ID in a wider context. Perceived capabilities of persons with ID were found to influence attitudes towards people with ID and their inclusion. Availability and accessibility of good quality services were also found to influence attitudes towards the inclusion of people with ID. Cultural factors related to attitudes towards ID are discussed.

Munculnya pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia menyebabkan dampak secara langsung maupun tidak langsung pada masyarakat. Dampak psikologis merupakan contoh dampak tidak langsung dari adanya pandemi ini. Masyarakat terpaksa harus mengisolasi diri, membatasi interaksi dengan orang lain, dan mengurangi berbagai kegiatan. Hal tersebut dapat memberikan dampak negatif pada kesehatan mental mereka. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan intervensi agar hal tersebut tidak semakin memburuk. Dengan mendasarkan pada hal tersebut, studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat dampak psikologis dari adanya pandemi COVID-19 dan efektivitas telekonseling dalam meningkatkan kesehatan mental masyarakat Indonesia dalam situasi pandemi ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan memberikan survei dan wawancara kepada partisipan yang mengikuti layanan telekonseling Lembaga Psikologi X. Data yang diperoleh akan dianalisis secara tematik dengan pendekatan analisis induktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pandemi COVID-19 menimbulkan kecemasan, psikosomatis, stres, serta permasalahan emosi, dan relasi. Hadirnya layanan konsultasi secara daring dapat membantu meningkatkan kesehatan mental selama pandemi COVID-19, akan tetapi dalam pelaksanaannya masih diperlukan beberapa peningkatan dan perbaikan.

Background: People with intellectual disability are among the most stigmatised groups in society. There is a paucity of studies reporting on how stigma is experienced in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to explore the experience of stigma among adults with mild/moderate intellectual disability and the extent of their inclusion in Indonesian society. Method: Fifteen adults with mild/moderate intellectual disability were purposively recruited from three service providers and were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: The findings suggest that adults with intellectual disability experience stigma in multiple settings (family, school, community), have limited access to social activities, and internalised the experienced stigma. Conclusion: This study adds to the international understanding of stigma experienced by adults with mild/moderate intellectual disability in daily life and their inclusion in society in a middle-income country.
