Background This study’s main purpose was to examine the psychometric properties of FoMOs’ adaptation among the Indonesian adolescents’ population. The second aim was to investigate the concurrent validity of the Indonesian version to provide evidence for the validity. Also, FoMOs’ difference level between demographic variance analyses was performed. Method The study involved a cross-sectional online survey design with 638 Indonesian adolescents aged 16–24 (M = 19.08, SD = 14.70). FoMO was measured by a 16-item that has been modified from the original 10-item. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out to study its scores’ evidence of structural validity. Besides, to study its scores’ evidence of convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity concerning other variables such as stress, anxiety, and depression (Depression and Anxiety Stress Scale-21), and general health condition (General Health Questionnaire Scale-12), correlation analyses were conducted. To study the sensitivity, we assessed the effect of sociodemographic and social media use on the scale’s ability to identify the population’s risk to the FoMO by conducting analyses of variance. The Cronbach alpha values (α = .93) indicated that internal consistency of the scale was at an adequate level. Results Exploratory factorial analyses revealed adequate adjustment for the new version of the scale showing the three factorial structures. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the 12-item of Indonesian FoMO had a good fit (χ2/df = 289.324/51; goodness-of-fit index (GFI) = 0.928; RMSEA = 0.086; comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.915; normed fit index (NFI) = 0.899; parsimony normed fit index (PNFI) = .695; Tucker–Lewis index (TLI) = 0.890). Conclusion This study has shown that the modified 12-item Fear of Missing Out Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for Indonesian adolescents. It showed that the Indonesian version of Fear of Missing Out Scale has adequate psychometric properties to measure Indonesian adolescents’ online behavior.
Schizophrenia caregivers are chronically exposed to a high level of negative emotional states such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Many studies have explored the problem among caregivers, but there remains to be limited evidence in the use of psychotherapeutic intervention to reduce schizophrenia caregivers' psychological adversities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of psychosocialbased resilience intervention in reducing the negative emotional states of schizophrenia caregivers. The one group pre-post quasi-experimental design was conducted to five participants. Following the six sessions of training and two-weeks of follow-up, participants showed a significant reduction of negative emotional states (p= .007), measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Furthermore, dimensions of negative emotional states were also significantly reduced i.e., depression (p= .008), anxiety (p= .015), and stress (p= .016). These results provide evidence that psychosocial-based resilience program can effectively reduce the negative emotional states of schizophrenia caregivers.
Doing harm is a moral violation, but helping a family member is a moral obligation. In this study, participants were exposed to this conflicting situation via the stories in which their sibling is involved in a harmful moral scenario as the perpetrator or the victim, then gave their moral judgments (i.e., moral acceptability and perceived transgression) and decisions (i.e., willingness to disclose what the agent did to the police and the difficulty of doing so) towards the perpetrator. The manipulation of family membership was incorporated into the moral scenarios, which were designed based on whether the perpetrator had malicious intent, and whether those intentions led to a harmful outcome. We anticipated that people would favor their family member (i.e., brother) when harmful intent or outcome was absent. However, both family membership and intent-outcome-based moral scenarios showed an additive effect in both measures of moral judgment, with no significant interaction. It indicates that family-favoring effect was observed in all intent-outcome scenarios, although this is slightly more pronounced when the brother accidentally harmed a stranger, as opposed to a stranger accidentally harming the brother. Additionally, participants were willing to disclose what they witnessed despite their family membership with the agent or victim, but it is a difficult decision to make. Together, our results show that family membership is deemed profound and influential in moral judgment and decision-making, where people tend to be more lenient towards their family member as the perpetrator and more punitive when their family member is victimized.
Adolescents have shown significantly higher rates of mental health problems than the general public. Research has found the self-regulation is vital in preventing psychopathology. Further, the involvement of digital technology as one health support form is recognized as a promising alternative, especially for this group age. Thus, this study is aimed to develop a self-regulation based mobile application named as SMILE (Self-Monitoring Interactive Learning Evaluation). This paper will present the development process of the various component of the SMILE. This application uses several features like real-time location awareness, online mood check, emotional graphics which will determine tasks that must be done by individuals for 30 days. In the first phase, this application was tested on 255 adolescents (M = 16) with 56 percent is a woman. The initial evaluation results were described in one-on-one user testing. Thus, as a monitoring process, the users could track daily emotional conditions and perceived lists of suggested activities. The results suggest that SMILE has the potential to attract adolescents. However, further work is needed to ensure that users remain engaged with the program. Besides, online counseling features can be added, such as the buddy chat feature with a psychologist.
