Cumulating evidence suggests that high levels of spirituality can foster integrity. However, integrity violations remain prevalent, even among populations with strong religious beliefs. This study collected data from 2,800 students across 17 academic institutions in Indonesia and Malaysia to examine the relationship between their levels of spirituality and their perceptions of academic cheating. Although both countries have predominantly Muslim populations, they differ in how religious practices are implemented. The results revealed a significant correlation between spirituality and perceptions of cheating in both countries. However, one aspect of spirituality in Indonesia diverged from the broader concept, underscoring the complex and nuanced relationship between spirituality and religion. While these concepts often overlap, they also exhibit distinct differences. Such differences in spirituality and religiosity may help explain the paradox of integrity issues, including the prevalence of cheating within religious communities.

Biaya perawatan pasien kanker nasofaring masih tinggi di Indonesia, penilaian kualitas hidup dan evaluasi ekonomi pasien kanker sangatlah penting, karena penyakit dan pengobatannya mempengaruhi kesejahteraan psikologis, sosial dan ekonomi, serta integritas biologis individu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas hidup pasien kanker nasofaring yang menjalani kemoterapi di RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang. Penilaian kualitas hidup dilakukan menggunakan instrumen EORTC QLQ-C30. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Sampel penelitian ini merupakan pasien kanker nasofaring di RSUP dr. Kariadi, Semarang, Jawa Tengah, tepatnya di unit rawat jalan poliklinik onkologi dan rawat inap selama bulan Mei – Juli 2020 yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Data yang telah didapatkan melalui pengisian kuesioner ditransformasikan menjadi skor dengan rentang 0-100 menggunakan rumus transformasi linier kemudian hasil kualitas hidup dideskripsikan dengan menggunakan nilai rata-rata dan standar deviasi. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan metode convenience sample. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan skor rata-rata kualitas hidup pasien kanker nasofaring berdasarkan kelompok skala fungsional (80,20 ± 7,52), skala gejala (23,86 ± 6,77) dan status kesehatan umum (63,75 ± 20,99). Skor tertinggi terdapat pada domain fungsi emosional sementara domain yang terendah pada fungsi peran.

Penelitian ini merupakan kajian mengenai adaptasi program pelatihan peningkatan fokus atensi kedalam bentuk program komputer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan alat penunjang pelatihan peningkatan fokus atensi, dengan cara mengubahnya kedalam bentuk program komputer (piranti lunak). Disain penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode campuran (mixed method) dengan menggunakan strategi metode campuran konkuren atau satu waktu (concurrent mixed methods), yaitu menggunakan disain penelitian kuantitatif dan kualitatif dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Dalam prosesnya, dilakukan penilaian oleh ahli Game Developer berjumlah satu orang dan ahli psikolog bidang klinis anak dan remaja berjumlah tiga orang. Berdasarkan hasil penilaian dari ahli Game Developer terdapat saran perubahan pada intensitas warna stimulus dan latar belakang layar. Sedangkan berdasarkan penilaian dari ahli psikolog dengan mengunakan teknik Content Validity index (CVI), didapat bahwa piranti lunak “Pelatihan Fokus Atensi” memiliki nilai S-CVI/Average (S-CVI/AVE) = .91 (> .80) yang artinya sudah sesuai dengan teori yang ada. Tahap selanjutnya yaitu user experience oleh psikolog bidang klinis anak berjumlah tiga orang dengan membandingkan penggunaan pada piranti lunak dan alat manual. Hasilnya piranti lunak dinilai lebih praktis dan cenderung minim bias negatif.

It aims to develop a tool for such training by applying some adaptations into a computer program (software). This study uses concurrent mixed methods (using quantitative and qualitative research methods at the same time). In the first process, the software was assessed by a Game Developer expert and three child and adolescence clinical psychologists. The expert of Game Developer suggests a change of the intensity of the color of the stimulus and the screen background. Using the Content Validity index (CVI) technique, the psychologists found that the “Attention Focus Training” software has a value of S-CVI/Average (S-CVI/AVE) = .91 (> .80), indicating its conformity to the existing theories. The next stage is user experience by three child and adolescence clinical psychologists, conducted by comparing the use of the software and manual tools. It shows that the software is more practical and tends to have less negative bias. Keywords: Attention Deficit Disorder, focused attention, software, training

This study aimed to find correlations between the quality of life, happiness, and life satisfaction of the general population of Bandung city. There were 370 participants with averageage of 20.7 years, mostly male (55.7%) and with a secondary level of education (SMP-SMA; 57.0%) who completed three questionnaires: (i) WHOQOL-BREF to measure quality of life, (ii) Happiness Thermometer to measure happiness, and (iii) Self-Anchoring Cantril Striving Scale to measure life satisfaction. Multiple linear regression tests were used with happiness and life satisfaction as dependent variables and quality of life as an independent variable. The results showed that the psychological and physical domains of quality of life were significant predictors of happiness and satisfaction of life, where the psychological domain proved significant in predicting all four-time points: happiness today (β=0.039; p

Marriage is proven to be related to health and well-being of those involved in it. However, the status of marriage is not the most important, but how the quality of the marriage is the key to its positive effects. This study aims to examine a relationship between marital quality with happiness and life satisfaction. Data collection was conducted on 189 participants who have married with less than five years, said to be a critical period, which are living in the city of Bandung. The marital quality was measured using the Quality Marriage Index/QMI (6 items; α= .91), happiness was measured using the Happiness Thermometer at three time points (3 items; α= .83), and life satisfaction was measured using the Self-Anchoring Cantril Striving Scale at three time points (3 items; α= .47). The Spearman correlation test found that there was a significant positive relationship between the marital quality and happiness at three time points: today (rs= 0.431), last month (rs= 0.409), and throughout life (rs= 0.415) and life satisfaction at two time points: now (rs= 0.460) and next five years (rs= 0.281). In addition, life satisfaction of five years ago when subjects were still single was reported to be significantly lower compare to their life satisfaction this moment and predicted five years from now (p

This study aims to describe (1) relative importance of marriage, (2) desired timing of marriage, and (3) criteria for marriage readiness. Respondents aged between 15 – 30 years old, 558 individuals, not married, residents of Bandung City. The measurement is Criteria for Marriage Readiness Questionnaire (CMRQ) questionnaire designed by Carrol et al. which has been adapted to Bahasa Indonesia. Results showed that respondents perceived (1) marriage is not important/priority for them at the moment, (2) the ideal age for marriage is about 25 years old, because at this age they are mature/ready to marry, have jobs/carrier/income, and have accomplished higher education degree (bachelor/master). Different from previous findings from Carroll, respondents perceived some criteria which need not to be fulfilled before marriage: (1) have enough sexual experience, (2) have kids before marriage, (3) military service, (4) have lived together with lover, (5) premarital intercourse, (6) drinking and smoking. The present study increases understanding of criteria considered by people that needed to be fulfilled before marriage. The fulfillment of these criteria seems to play a role in the age of first marriage of the people in the city of Bandung. Further studies should be done to investigate the cultural values in perceiving marriage by the people of Bandung.
