Objektif: Studi empiris tentang dampak ketidakhadiran anak dalam perkawinan menunjukkan hasil berbeda yang diasumsikan berkaitan dengan perbedaan arti penting anak bagi tiap pasangan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui arti penting anak dan pengaruhnya pada perkawinan pasangan involuntary childless.Metode: Pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologi digunakan dengan metode pengambilan data berupa wawancara secara individual. Partisipan penelitian ini berjumlah 9 orang dengan kriteria involuntary childless, sudah menikah minimal selama 3 tahun dan belum pernah memiliki anak kandung. Analisis data dilakukan dengan interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA)Temuan: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran anak masih dianggap sebagai hal yang penting dalam perkawinan karena dianggap sebagai pemberian dari Tuhan, memberikan dampak positif pada kehidupan, memberikan manfaat bagi orangtua, dan memberi dampak positif pada pasangan suami istri.Kesimpulan: Nilai anak masih dipandang secara positif karena dinilai memberikan banyak manfaat, sehingga ketidakhadiran anak mempengaruhi perkawinan pasangan involuntary childless.

The PERMA-Profiler is a well-being instrument which combines the hedonic and eudaimonic perspective of well-being. This instrument was developed based on well-being theory (Seligman, 2012) which explained well-being as a multidimensional construct, included positive emotion, engagement, relationship, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA). This study aimed to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of the PERMA-Profiler in Indonesian people. The participants were 439 Indonesians, aged 17-63 years old (mean age = 30,82; SD = 10,00). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to test the measurement model of PERMA. The result showed that the PERMA-Profiler met the goodness of fit criteria as a multi dimensional construct with five elements. Fourteen items have satisfactory factor loading. The PERMA-Profiler has good construct reliability as well as Cronbach’s alpha. The convergent validity was shown by the positive correlation between elements of PERMA with satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) and subjective happiness scale (SHS). In addition, the significant correlation between elements and each element with a total score proved the multidimensional nature of PERMA. The overall findings showed that the adaptation version of PERMA-Profiler have a good psychometric property and could be applied to Indonesian people.Keywords: confirmatory factor analysis; PERMA; reliability; validity; well-being   AbstrakThe PERMA-Profiler merupakan instrumen kebahagiaan yang memadukan perspektif hedonik dan eudaimonik untuk mengukur kebahagiaan. Instrumen ini mengacu pada well-being theory (M. E. P. Seligman, 2012) yang menjelaskan kebahagiaan sebagai konstruk multidimensi, meliputi positive emotion, engagement, relationship, meaning, dan accomplishment (PERMA). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengadaptasi dan menguji properti psikometrik the PERMA-Profiler pada orang Indonesia. Partisipan berjumlah 439 orang Indonesia (pria = 108, wanita = 331) dan berusia antara 17- 63 tahun (usia rerata = 30,82 tahun; SD = 10,00). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) digunakan untuk menguji model pengukuran. Hasil CFA memperlihatkan the PERMA-Profiler memenuhi kriteria kecocokan model sebagai konstruk multidimensi yang terdiri dari lima elemen. Terdapat 14 dari 15 aitem yang valid. Keempatbelas aitem juga yang mengukur satu konstruk tunggal yaitu well-being. The PERMA-Profiler juga memperlihatkan reliabilitas komposit dan konsistensi internal yang memuaskan. Korelasi positif yang signifikan dengan pengukuran skala kepuasan hidup dan skala kebahagiaan umum menunjukkan PERMA-Profiler memenuhi validitas konvergen. Setiap dimensi berkorelasi signifikan satu sama lain dan dengan skor total. Temuan ini memperlihatkan hasil adaptasi the PERMA-Profiler memiliki properti psikometrik  yang bagus dan dapat diterapkan pada orang Indonesia.Kata Kunci: confirmatory factor analysis; kebahagiaan; PERMA; reliabilitas; validitas

(1) Background: This study aimed to explore the dynamics of meaning-making among drug addicts during drug addiction recovery by using a case study approach. The participants were five male recovering addicts, aged 26 to 49 years, who had been abstinent for 4 to 17 years; (2) Methods: Data collection consisted of in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Questionnaire, Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and recovery stage criteria based on the Developmental Model of Recovery (DMR). (3) Results: The results showed that meaning making was an ongoing process before and during the use of drugs and recovery. Drug use was a coping strategy to overcome distress caused by ACE, which was perceived as a stressful event and brought up an implicit meaning of ACE. This initial meaning played an essential role in initiating the dynamics of the subsequent meaning-making process. A similar mechanism using non-constructive adaptation processes other negative impacts of drug use. They created more distress and developed false-positive beliefs, which resulted in continued drug use. Symptoms of depression occur during drug use, which drags the addict to the lowest point in life (hitting rock bottom), and addicts perceive it as a turning point for seeking treatment and attaining recovery. In complete recovery, reappraising the meaning of the stressors experienced throughout life makes new constructive meaning. Creating a constructive meaning of earliest traumatic experiences played an important role in preventing relapse and ensuring the success of recovery from drug addiction.

The absence of children in marriage has some impact to the couple. Empirical studies showed a different result, one is that it brings out a positive impact, and another is say the other side. This discrepancy leads to the question of what cause that contradictive finding. This study is aimed to explore the lived experience of involuntary childless and determine the context of that experience. In order to get the whole understanding of the experience, this study is using depth interview method with a phenomenological principle. Participants of this study are 11 involuntary childless who have married for at least 3 years. Results show eight themes that describe the experience of involuntary childless, including positive and negative experience, acceptance, spousal, social and spiritual relationship, conflict and marital evaluation. The context that determines the experience is the relationship with the spouse, family, community and the spiritual matter of the couple.

Studi di Indonesia tentang perilaku menyakiti diri sendiri dengan motif tidak bunuh diri (non-suicidal self-injury; NSSI) berdasarkan penghayatan pelaku belum banyak dilakukan. Padahal hal ini penting untuk memperkaya pemahaman akan kemunculan NSSI serta strategi penanganan klinisnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami pengalaman dan pemaknaan individu yang melakukan NSSI. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologis, wawancara dilakukan pada empat perempuan dewasa muda (usia 21–22 tahun) di Jakarta yang melakukan NSSI yang dimulai pada usia yang berbeda-beda. Analisis fenomenologis interpretatif mengidentifikasi adanya lima tema dalam pengalaman mereka: perasaan lega, sembunyi–sembunyi, tanpa kesadaran penuh, berulang, dan kecenderungan bunuh diri. Semakin lama individu melakukan NSSI, maka semakin besar kemungkinannya untuk melakukan bunuh diri. Keempat partisipan memaknai pengalaman NSSI-nya sebagai cara untuk mengatasi perasaan hampa dan emosi-emosi negatif. Penelitian ini memberi informasi yang diharapkan bermanfaat bagi upaya pencegahan dan penanganan kasus NSSI.
