Chua Bee Seok, Shazia Iqbal Hashmi, Tan Cho Chiew

Volume : Vol. 1, 2012

Publication Date : 2012-12-31

Keywords : emotional intelligence,job stress,mental health problem, nurses.

Abstract : The study attempted to examine the effect of emotional intelligence as a moderator of the job stress and mental health problem relationship. Data were collected from 677 nurses (361 trainees and 316 trained nurses) from three general hospitals in Malaysia. The Job Stress Survey (JSS) was adapted to assess generic sources of occupational stress. The Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) was adapted to assess level of emotional competence and a scale of Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI) was adopted to investigate mental health problems among nurses. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of sources of stress and emotional competency on mental health problem. We also evaluated whether nurses who were skilful at regulating their own and others’ emotions would be able to protect themselves from the adverse effects of stress and reporting less mental health problem than those low in emotional intelligence.

Factors predicting recycling behaviour among Malaysian

Jasmine Adela Mutang, Sharifah Azizah Haron

Volume : Vol. 1, 2012

Publication Date : 2012-12-31

Keywords : recycling behaviour, recycling attitude,values towards the environment

Abstract : Malaysia is facing a crisis in solid waste management due to rapid urbanization and high concentration of population. Sadly, public participation in recycling is still very low despite rigorous campaigns conducted by the government. Only a small amount of solid waste generated in Malaysia is recycled – far below the rate of 15 to 40 percent in developed countries. This study examines the recycling behaviour among urban households within the Klang Valley area. Specifically, the purpose of the study is to determine factors that increase the probability of recycling behaviour among households. Data analysis technique used consisted of bivariate analysis and logistic regression. The results of logistics regression testing for socio-demographic and psychological characteristics show partial significance at a probability level of .050. The result of Hosmer and Lamershow Goodness-of-fit shows total significance at .050. The logistic model that utilizes study data drawn from the 342 samples and the results of the Binomial Logistic Regression indicate that recycling increased among respondents who are married, possess higher education levels have positive values towards the environment and positive attitudes towards recycling. Interestingly, gender, different types of employment status, types of accommodation, house ownership, and knowledge of recycling were not reliable predictors of recycling behaviour. The findings of the study could be used for designing recycling schemes although it is clear that a one-size-fits-all approach is not acceptable.

Saralah Devi Mariamdaran, Noor Azniza Ishak

Volume :

Publication Date : 2012-12-31

Keywords : psychoanalysis,depression,young inmates

Abstract : This study is aimed to determine the sources of depressive traits among the young inmates in prison. The psychoanalysis approach is used to diagnose problems associated with depressive traits using experimental methods for 6-session structure groups. Treatment based on Psychoanalysis looks into the sources of depression and the Id, Ego and Superego of young inmates. A module-based on Psychoanalysis techniques has been built and the main concept of this module is to improve the inmate’s own reaction to depression. The inmates believe that depression is due to their aggressive behavior. In general, there were no changes in the inmate’s depression, but after the treatment, finding show lesser depression in the inmates. Inmates, who are able to control their feelings in situations of depression, are presumed to be able to manage their behavior in all situations. A handful of inmates were unable to improve their depression and the reasons for this are discussed further in this research paper. In conclusion, it appears Id, Ego and Superego of Inmates has room to choose changes in depression behavior.

Volume : Vol. 3, 2015

Publication Date : -0001-11-30

Keywords : Kebahagiaan Subjektif,Orang Kurang Upaya-Fizikal (OKU-F),Grounded Theory,Mixed Methods

Abstract :

Kajian ini dijalankan untuk membentuk Instrumen Kebahagiaan Subjektif Orang Kurang Upaya-Fizikal (IKSOKU-F). Instrumen ini terdiri daripada dua skala iaitu Skala Dimensi Kebahagiaan Subjektif Orang Kurang Upaya-Fizikal (SDKSOKU-F) dan Skala Sumber Kebahagiaan Subjektif Orang Kurang Upaya-Fizikal (SSKSOKU-F). Seramai 29 OKU-Fizikal (20 lelaki & 9 perempuan) yang berumur antara 18 hingga 55 tahun dijadikan responden kajian. Seramai 15 orang (51.7%) responden dikategorikan sebagai hilang keupayaan fizikal secara congenital dan 14 orang (48.3%) dikategori sebagai hilang keupayaan fizikal secara acquired. Dari segi jenis kekurangupayaan fizikal: kecederaan saraf tunjang (34.5%), limb defect congenital (17.3%), putus kaki (10.3%), polio (10.3%), cerebral palsy (10.3%), Guillain–Barré syndrome, GBS, kerdil, limb defect acquired, spastik, dan kecederaan saraf tunjang dan putus kaki (OKU-F pelbagai) masing-masing seorang (3.4%). Proses pembentukan Instrumen Kebahagiaan Orang Kurang Upaya-Fizikal (IKSOKU-F) adalah berdasarkan dapatan kajian fasa kualitatif menggunakan grounded theory. Dalam kajian kualitatif grounded theory, kategori teras yang ditemui adalah kebahagiaan subjektif yang mempunyai enam dimensi iaitu kepuasan, kendiri, makna hidup, emosi, kesejahteraan rohani dan pemikiran positif. Sementara itu, terdapat 10 sumber atau faktor kebahagiaan OKU-F yang dijangka memberi pengaruh kepada kebahagiaan subjektif OKU-F iaitu interaksi sosial, sokongan penjaga/keluarga, sokongan rakan, sokongan institusi, sokongan peralatan, kebolehaksesan, kesaksamaan, pencapaian, kebebasan, dan kesihatan fizikal. Kategori dan properties yang berjaya diperoleh dalam kajian kualitatif grounded theory kemudiannya digunakan untuk membina item bagi mengukur dimensi dan sumber kebahagiaan OKU-F. Terdapat dua panduan dan rujukan penting dalam proses pembinaan item daripada dapatan kajian kualitatif iaitu daripada Creswell dan Plano Clark (2011) dan Rosenbaum (2011). Kedua-dua panduan dan rujukan tersebut memberi fokus kepada cara membina item hasil daripada dapatan kajian kualitatif grounded theory. Creswell dan Plano-Clark (2011) menyatakan bahawa penyelidik mixed methods boleh menggunakan kategori teras sebagai konstruk kuantitatif, kategori umum sebagai skala yang boleh diukur, kod individu digunakan sebagai pembolehubah, dan kenyataan spesifik daripada individu boleh digunakan sebagai item spesifik atau pernyataan dalam instrumen (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011: 188 & 246). Rosenbaum (2011) telah memberi contoh ilustrasi bagaimana item dapat dibina hasil daripada kajian kualitatif grounded theory. Penerangan lebih lanjut dibincangkan dalam penulisan artikel ini. Pembentukan IKSOKU-F membolehkan OKU-F mengetahui dimensi dan sumber kebahagiaan mereka dengan cara yang lebih saintifik dan objektif.

The Mediating Effect of Emerging Adulthood Experiences on The Relationship Between Parental Attachment and Social Adjustment in The University

Walton Wider Murnizam Hj. Halik Mazni Mustapha,Ferlis Bullare@Bahari

Volume : Vol 6, 2018

Publication Date : -0001-11-30

Keywords : Emerging Adulthood Experience, Parental Attachment, Social Adjustment, Emerging Adult

Abstract : A mediation model was proposed to analyse the relationship between parental attachment and social adjustment. Specifically, this study aims to contribute and fill a gap in the emerging adulthood literature by analysing the mediating role of emerging adulthood dimensions (identity exploration, instability/negativity, self-focused, possibilities/experimentation, feeling “in- between”). Thus, a variance-based structural modelling via partial least squares was employed to analyse the hypothesized relationships. Data was gathered from 568 freshmen from a public university in the Western region of Malaysia. The results show that only self-focused is a significant mediator in the relationship between parental attachment and social adjustment. Practical contribution was discussed particularly among counsellors and academicians who work with emerging adult clients.

SELF DISTANCING EFFECT IN WRITING NEGATIVE EVENTS REMEMBERING OR WRITING? IMPLICATIONS OF SELF-DISTANCING IN THE REFLECTION OF NEGATIVE EVENTS

Setiawati Intan Savitri, Bagus Takwin , Amarina Ashar Ariyanto

Volume : Vol 8 Issue 2, 2020

Publication Date : -0001-11-30

Keywords : Remembering, writing, self-distance, adaptive self-reflection

Abstract : Although many studies indicate that self-distancing facilitates adaptive self-reflection, it is necessary to examine the variables in the adaptive self- reflection process further to determine whether it will produce the same profile when the self-reflection is done through writing. As such, this study aims to examine a) whether the induction to remember from an actor's perspective and from an observer’s perspective has the same implications as the induction to write using the first-person pronouns and using own-name in facilitating adaptive self- reflection, and b) whether adaptive self-reflection through writing has the same profile as adaptive self-reflection through remembering (thinking). Two quasi- experimental studies (N=428) conducted in this research found that self- distancing was the only variable that differed significantly when we induced the actor's perspective and the observer's perspective (study 1), but the variables of self-distancing, emotional reactivity, and reconstruing differed significantly when self-reflection was conducted through writing manipulation using the first-person pronouns and using own-name. It was also found that adaptive self-reflection through writing (study 2) had a stronger correlation in the negative direction between self-distancing and emotional reactivity, recounting, avoidance, and in the positive direction with the variables of reconstruing, memory age, and perceived resolution, which meant that writing about negative experiences better facilitates adaptive self-reflection than just remembering. We also analyzed the intervening variables to see the direct or indirect relationship between key variables.

MIMIC MODEL OF PROBLEMATIC INTERNET USE SHORT FORM (PIUQ-SF 6) IN INDONESIA

Nursakinah Oktaviana Sasmita

Volume : Vol 10 Issue 1 2022

Publication Date : -0001-11-30

Keywords : PIUQ SF, MIMIC Model, Validity

Abstract : The Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIUQ) consists of three dimensions (Demotrovics, 2016): Obsession (i.e., obsessive thoughts about the internet, and mental withdrawal symptoms when there is a lack of internet use), neglect (i.e., ignoring basic needs and daily activities), and impaired self-control (i.e., difficulty in controlling the internet). This study aims to analyse the PIUQ measuring instrument further using the Rating Scale analysis technique. The number of respondents in this study was 550, who was chosen voluntarily by spreading it on social media. The findings show that this unidimensional PIUQ has excellent validity quality and good item reliability and can be profitable if used on a large scale because of the small number of items. The MIMIC model is ideal; the absence of susceptibility to differences in characteristics indicates that the scale used in the measurement remains consistent in a heterogeneous population.
