This study aims to investigate the psychometric attributes of DASS21 instrument of depression, anxiety, and stress among Malaysian university undergraduate students, where negative emotional disturbance is evaluated in the respect of frequency and severity. During this study, English and Malay were the languages used for the descriptive investigation on the severity of emotional disturbance and psychometrics analysis. A crosssectional study was conducted among (N = 390) undergraduate students from Universiti Putra Malaysia, through a simple random exercise. This was followed by collection of data on the final respondents through AMOS for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and measurement. An excellent structure of the 21-items in three DASS21 sub-constructs was displayed, with 18 out of 21 items were produced from adequate construct validity. It exhibited a positive factor loading, which amounted to 0.5 and higher. In terms of internal consistency, the alpha values for anxiety (𝛼 = 0.850), stress (𝛼 = 0.859), and depression (𝛼 = 0.910) were shown. A positive consistency of Cronbach's Alpha (𝛼 = 0.926) could also be seen from the overall score where all items were included. Thus, DASS21 can be utilized as a measurement tool to identify the health condition of students with negative emotional disturbances.

This research objective is to analyze the artistic diversity in hybrid art practice among selected Malaysian artists. The paper examines the process of making hybrid artworks where focusing on media diversity and experiment activity. The researchers had used cluster sampling and twenty artists involved to answer the questionnaires. The researchers used bar graph and Principal Component Analysis to analyze the artistic diversity in Hybrid Art. The finding of media diversity shows that Malaysian artists are focusing on mixed media, strength and equipment. Besides, the artists are focusing on subject matter, experiment, influence and research for the finding of experiment activity.    Keywords: Collaboration, experiment activity, media diversity, hybrid approach.    eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

The objective of this paper is to identify the artistic knowledge and practices of hybrid art among Malaysian artist’s artworks. The purpose is to analyze the artistic knowledge through Malaysian artist’s artworks. Ten selected artworks from the multidisciplinary artists had been choose. The researchers applied observation method to select the artworks that have the element of hybrid art and Kawakita Jiro method for the purpose of clustering the attributes for the artistic knowledge and practices of hybrid art. The finding shows that the advancement of technology, and freedom in exploring the material have affected the creation of hybrid artworks production.    Keywords: Artists’ practices, Hybrid art practice, integration, cross disciplines.    eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.
