“…Participants who supported political advocacy as a matter of democratic civic responsibility also noted the declining value of civic and political engagement in our country. Civic responsibility is considered a bedrock of functioning democracies, as people must be critically and actively involved in their own governance (Van Camp & Baugh, 2016). Civic engagement is multidimensional and includes having the skills, knowledge, and commitment to improve the social condition of one's community.…”

“…As education standards have changed, civics and democratic participation have been abandoned and presumed to be taught in the family. The reduction in civic education contributes to the waning of public knowledge and skills for civic responsibility along with decreased democratic participation (Van Camp & Baugh, 2016). Political knowledge increasingly comes from social media, which is troubling given the rise of "fake news" (Hepburn, 2013).…”

A crucial and overlooked facet of social justice in family therapy is political and policy advocacy. Family therapists have unique insight into how social policies and political discourse shapes clients' lives and the life of our profession. Such knowledge can inform policymakers and political debate, yet few family therapists are trained to engage in political action. In this randomized, national survey of licensed family therapists' (N = 174), we explore beliefs about and barriers to engagement in political and policy processes. The findings suggest that there are significant barriers and uncertainties surrounding family therapists' engagement, including time, feelings of efficacy, and interest. Given these barriers we discuss practical suggestions for clinicians and family therapy training programs.

“…The success probability of this factor is based on young adult and older adult citizens who are civically involved, informed and committed. However, civic engagement is largely analysed keeping young people in mind (Van Camp and Baugh, 2016).…”

Purpose Existing literature affirms that almost half of the young generation has remained unemployed worldwide. On the contrary civic engagement can be a powerful tool in combating this problem. However, the influencing factors that encourage the active participation of young adults yet to be identified. The purpose of this paper is to fill the research gap by creating and validating a research model by including three motives social presence commitment and online offline civic engagement. Design/methodology/approach The study took a quantitative approach to conduct a cross-sectional study. In total, 214 data were collected from the member of a Facebook group of Bangladesh named Foodbank, a restaurant review page through the online questionnaire. After that structural equation modelling techniques have been used to analyse the data, test the model validity and hypothesis. Findings The result shows that both commitment and social presence influence offline and online civic engagement. Excitement motives have a higher effect than information and convenience motive. Besides, 8 out of 10 hypotheses have shown significant results, with only the convenience motive not having any positive influence and effect on social presence and commitment. Practical implications Almost 47.6 out of 158.5 million are young people who are incapable of contributing fully to national development due to a lack of civic engagement. The outcome of this study will be useful for the Government of Bangladesh, as well as for non-governmental organisations and decision-making authorities to form assessments and develop policy on how to engage the young generation in civic activities to achieve further socio-economic development in the country. Originality/value This study contributes to existing literature with newly developed relationships between social presence-civic engagement and commitment-civic engagement. These unique relationships have been empirically tested and resulted insignificant. The study also identifies that it is vital to engage young people more in social works and increase their participation in offline and online activities.

“…Selain itu, MASQUE merupakan skala yang memiliki struktur faktor yang tergolong baik dan menunjukkan validitas konstruk paling kuat di antara skala sikap multikultural lain (Jensen, 2016). Oleh karena itu, MASQUE digunakan dalam berbagai ranah penelitian seperti bidang pendidikan (Enger & Lajimodiere, 2011;Van Camp & Baugh, 2016), kompetensi lintas budaya (Schroeder, Plata & Fullwood, 2013), dan perilaku konsumen (Spiers, Gundala, & Singh, 2014).…”

Usaha adaptasi alat ukur multikulturalisme menjadi penting karena terdapat perbedaan dalam persepsi multikulturalisme di negara-negara barat dan Indonesia. Jika multikulturalisme di negara-negara barat lebih merujuk pada perbedaan warna kulit, di Indonesia multikulturalisme dapat dikatakan lebih dinamis, yaitu merujuk pada perbedaan suku. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan adanya alat ukur yang dapat digunakan untuk mengukur konstruk multikulturalisme. Penelitian ini dilakukan demi tujuan tersebut, dengan cara mengadaptasi alat ukur Munroe Multicultural Attitude Scale Questionnaire (MASQUE). Pemilihan MASQUE sebagai alat ukur yang diadaptasi karena MASQUE dapat mengukur sikap terhadap multikulturalisme pada sampel yang lebih luas. Adaptasi MASQUE dilakukan melalui tahap penerjemahan, penerjemahan ulang, pengujian validitas, serta pengujian reliabilitas. Pengujian validitas alat ukur MASQUE versi Indonesia dilakukan menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), sedangkan pengujian reliabilitas alat ukur dilakukan dengan menggunakan Cronbach-Alpha. Hasil adaptasi alat ukur yang diuji pada 1393 responden menunjukkan bahwa tiga dimensi (pengetahuan, tindakan, dan kepedulian) dalam kuesioner ini reliabel, tetapi memiliki validitas konstruk yang kurang baik. Kesimpulannya, alat ukur ini dapat digunakan untuk mengukur multikulturalisme di Indonesia, dengan catatan menghapus beberapa item alat ukur asli yang sulit dipahami dalam konteks Indonesia.
