“…Apparently more female than male participants showed political interest and involvement. This finding might be interpreted as inconsistent with some previous studies showing that women's political involvement was lower than their male counterparts in Indonesia (Rahmatunnisa & Mariana, 2017;Rhoads, 2012). If it were really the case, however, this finding would indicate a positive increase of women's involvement in political affairs in Indonesia.…”

National identity is critical in a multi-ethnic country like Indonesia. This research of 75 second-year psychology students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, investigates conceptions of national identity. Employing Rusciano's Selbstbild and Guibernau's five-dimensional theory, an email survey with three open-ended questions was utilized. Thematic analysis revealed prevalent themes among respondents, primarily within the political dimension of national identity. Noteworthy were notions of respecting diversity, safeguarding rights and privacy, opposing discrimination, and combatting intolerance. The diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds of participants underscored Indonesia's multiethnic landscape. The findings highlighted a heightened political commitment among female participants compared to males. In essence, this study illustrates the applicability of Guibernau's five-dimensional theory in comprehending the nuanced development of national identity in a diverse sample of Indonesian university students.

“…Fifth, male youths indicated a higher level of national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) than their female counterparts, although their levels of ethnic identity (identitas suku bangsa [ISB]) were equal. Considering the fact that women"s political involvement was low in Indonesia (Rahmatunnisa & Mariana, 2016;Rhoads, 2012), scrutinizing the political dimension of national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) in young women appeared to be necessary.…”

“…This finding appeared to be explainable by referring to the findings of Huddy and Khatib (2007) that national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) was political in nature, in the sense that it was related to one"s political involvement as a citizen. Women"s political involvement was still considered low in Indonesia even amidst the nation"s transition towards the era of democracy (Rahmatunnisa & Mariana, 2016). Cultural, political, and historical factors created a local political environment where discrimination against women was the norm within Indonesian society.…”

National identity (identitas nasional [IN]) and ethnic identity (identitas suku bangsa [ISB]) as two forms of social identity are important to scrutinize in the multi-ethnic nation of Indonesia. This research comprised two studies and aimed to uncover the Indonesian youth’s national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) on a sample of male and female students with different backgrounds in ethnicity, religion, and identity source. Study 1 aimed to construct an instrument of youth’s national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) by adapting the Skala Identitas Suku Bangsa (SISB; 2019), resulting in the Skala Identitas Nasional (SIN) consisting of 12 items (rit = 0.35 -0.64; α = 0.84). Study 2 aimed to explore the participants’ national identity (identitas nasional [IN]; N = 480) by considering the differences of their backgrounds. The results showed that in general the participants’ level of national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) was high, especially on the Balinese and Florinese samples; their level of national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) correlated with their level of ethnic identity (identitas suku bangsa [ISB]); religion related with levels of national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) through its connection with ethnicity, hence the Hindu-Balinese sample indicated the highest; the majority of participants acknowledged the parents and the extended family as their source of identity, but seemed to fail in contributing to the formation of the youth’s national identity (identitas nastional [IN]); male participants showed a higher level of national identity (identitas nasional [IN]) than female participants. Possible causes of the important findings were discussed and follow-up research on those findings were recommended. Identitas nasional (IN) dan identitas suku bangsa (ISB) sebagai dua bentuk identitas sosial penting dicermati dalam masyarakat Bangsa Indonesia yang multi-etnik. Penelitian ini meliputi dua studi, bertujuan mengungkap identitas nasional (IN) orang muda Indonesia dengan sampel mahasiswa laki-laki dan perempuan berlatar-belakang suku bangsa, agama, dan sumber identitas berlainan. Studi 1 bertujuan menyusun alat ukur identitas nasional (IN) orang muda dengan mengadaptasi Skala Identitas Suku Bangsa (SISB; 2019), menghasilkan Skala Identitas Nasional (SIN) yang terdiri dari 12 butir (rit = 0.35-0.64; α = 0.84). Studi 2 bertujuan mengungkap identitas nasional (IN) partisipan (N = 480) secara eksploratif dengan memperhatikan perbedaan latar belakang mereka. Hasilnya, secara umum taraf identitas nasional (IN) partisipan cukup tinggi, khususnya pada sampel suku bangsa Bali dan Flores; taraf identitas nasional (IN) mereka berkorelasi dengan taraf identitas suku bangsa (ISB); agama berhubungan dengan taraf identitas nasional (IN) melalui hubungannya dengan suku bangsa, maka sampel Hindu-Bali menunjukkan taraf identitas nasional (IN) tertinggi; mayoritas partisipan mengakui orang tua dan keluarga besar sebagai sumber identitas, namun ada indikasi mereka kurang berperan dalam pembentukan identitas nasional (IN) orang muda; sampel laki-laki menunjukkan taraf identitas nasional (IN) lebih tinggi dibandingkan sampel perempuan. Kemungkinan penyebab temuan-temuan penting dibahas, dan saran untuk penelitian lebih lanjut dikemukakan.

“…Moreover, this is confirmed by the 6 indicators that determined men as more appropriate to be seated at the legislative chambers. In light of women's preferences toward voting for men, this study contributes novel information from what has been figured out by previous studies (Prihatini, 2018a;Rahmatunnisa & Mariana, 2017;Rhoads, 2019;Siregar, 2005)…”

Discrepancies between the number of women voters and their low legislative representation is an interesting topic of study. The laws and regulations on parties’ eligibility for elections have assigned the proportions of women candidates. These laws have been reformed continuously during elections. However, the result remained the same until the recent 2019 election. This contradicts the reality that the number of women voters, which is more than half the total population, should supply the threshold quota. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between women's preferences and other elements, including voters' characteristics and their participation in political organizations. Online questionnaires were distributed to elicit responses from 1,042 women voters. The analysis of data was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Primarily, inferential statistics were used to examine the relationship between the variables utilizing the Chi-Square Test of Independence. The findings confirmed that more women voted for male candidates. However, regardless of occupation, women are interested in joining political parties and assuming leadership roles. Due to the snowballing sampling procedure, it is difficult to generalize the findings of this research. For this reason, future research should target the respondents that have frequently participated in elections to accommodate more generalized findings. Keywords: woman voters, under-representation, woman legislative candidates AbstrakKesenjangan antara jumlah pemilih perempuan dengan keterwakilan legislatif yang rendah menjadi topik kajian yang menarik. Undang-undang dan peraturan tentang kelayakan partai untuk pemilihan telah menetapkan proporsi kandidat perempuan. Undang-undang ini telah direformasi terus menerus selama pemilu. Namun, hasilnya tetap sama hingga pemilu 2019 baru-baru ini. Hal ini bertolak belakang dengan kenyataan bahwa jumlah pemilih perempuan yang lebih dari separuh jumlah penduduk harus memenuhi ambang batas kuota. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan antara preferensi perempuan dengan elemen lainnya, termasuk karakteristik pemilih dan partisipasi mereka dalam organisasi politik. Kuesioner online dibagikan untuk mendapatkan tanggapan dari 1.042 pemilih perempuan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Terutama, statistik inferensial digunakan untuk menguji hubungan antara variabel menggunakan Uji Independensi Chi-Square. Temuan menegaskan bahwa lebih banyak perempuan memilih calon laki-laki. Namun, terlepas dari pekerjaan, perempuan tertarik untuk bergabung dengan partai politik dan mengambil peran kepemimpinan. Karena prosedur pengambilan sampel bola salju, sulit untuk menggeneralisasi temuan penelitian ini. Untuk alasan ini, penelitian masa depan harus menargetkan responden yang sering berpartisipasi dalam pemilu untuk mengakomodasi temuan yang lebih umum.Kata kunci: Pemilih Perempuan, Keterwakilan, Caleg Perempuan
