Keywords : latarbelakang, pengekalan, cara berfikir, kecelaruan

Abstract : Kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan golongan lelaki kecelaruan identiti gender yang sedang menuntut di institusi pengajian tinggi swasta dan awam di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Kajian ini cuba memahami kenapa golongan ini menongkah norma, adat dan agama melalui penelitian terhadap latarbelakang, perlakuan dan cara berfikir subjek mengenai tingkah laku mereka. Pemahaman latarbelakang subjek dilakukan melalui penelitian aspek-aspek mengenai hubungan dengan ibubapa, koleksi barang kesayangan, tempat yang sering dikunjungi, fokus penampilan diri, hubungan interpersonal, ciri teman istimewa dan pandangan terhadap perkahwinan. Pengekalan perlakuan golongan ini pula difahami melalui faktor penampilan dan faktor masa lampau golongan terbabit. Pandangan subjek terhadap tingkah laku dan terhadap pandangan masyarakat membantu pengkaji memahami cara golongan ini berfikir. Kajian dijalankan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui temuduga berstruktur. Seramai sembilan subjek lelaki telah dipilih berdasarkan penampilan fizikal subjek dan cara pergaulan mereka. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan kesemua subjek sedar tingkah laku tersebut tidak disukai oleh ibu bapa dan kerana itu mereka menyembunyikan tingkah laku tersebut dari pengetahuan ibubapa. Faktor masa silam dan faktor penampilan telah mengukuhkan tingkah laku kecelaruan golongan ini dan sebahagian besar merasa sangat bahagia dan berpuas hati dengan kehidupan mereka sekarang.

As for gender difference in scores, the results of non-parametric Fisher Exact test showed that significant association between gender and children intellectual ability ( =18.94, df = 4, p < .05) was found. On the basis of observed cell frequencies, it can be concluded that male students’ performance was more towards the extreme of higher and lower ends and female students’ performance was more towards average.

Regression analysis showed that personality traits was becomes a significant predictors and contributing significantly in order explain emotional intelligence i.e. Conscientiousness (R² = .305, F= 133.528, P<0.05), Extraversion (R² = .357, F= 84.295, P<0.05), Agreeableness (R² = .414, F= 71.151, P<0.05), and Openness to experiences (R² = .428, F= 56.196, P<0.05). The finding revealed that all four personality traits emerged as significant predictors of emotional intelligence. The finding also revealed that Conscientiousness emerged as best predictor of emotional intelligence. However, different traits play differential roles in predicting the emotional intelligence. Keeping in view the implications of personality traits towards EI among school personnel as leaders, finding of the present research can help to improve overall organizational behaviour and productivity resulting in optimum service delivery to the stakeholders within educational system in Malaysia.

Abstract : Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji penilaian psikologi profiling dari segi perkembangan kemahiran-kemahiran mental (kemahiran asas, kemahiran psiko-somatik dan kemahiran kognitif) ke atas para atlet belia lelaki dan wanita yang menyertai sukan taekwondo. Seramai 43 atlet belia yang menyertai sukan taekwondo dalam 3rd Asian University Malaysia Championship dijadikan sebagai responden. Alat kajian yang digunakan untuk mengukur kemahiran-kemahiran mental adalah Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool-3 (OMSAT-3). Alat kajian ini mengukur kemahiran-kemahiran mental dalam tiga kategori iaitu kemahiran asas, kemahiran psiko-somatik dan kemahiran kognitif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan peserta wanita cenderung mempunyai kemahiran psikosomatik dari segi kawalan ketakutan, manakala atlet lelaki cenderung dalam kemahiran asas. Ini bermakna, sukan taekwondo membantu dalam meningkatkan kemahiran-kemahiran mental terutama belia wanita dalam pembentukan kemahiran psiko-somatik iaitu pengawalan dari segi ketakutan dan tekanan. Penglibatan dalam sukan taekwondo juga membantu dalam pembentukan kemahiran kognitif para belia wanita dalam membuat perancangan dan lebih fokus dalam menghadapi situasi yang mencabar.

Volume : Vol. 3, 2015

Publication Date : 2017-03-24

Keywords : Daytime sleepiness,academic performance,undergraduate students

Abstract :

Daytime sleepiness among adolescents is nearly universal; the sleep/wake rhythm in humans is regulated by the circadian timing system that makes people sleepy at certain times of the day. Research suggests academic performance is affected by lack of sleep may influence hence the importance of this study at tertiary level. A survey of 707 full-time undergraduates at a local university in Malaysia was conducted using a modified Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire. The modified CASQ was found to be reliable and significant and thus suitable to be used to measure students daytime sleepiness. Results showed that male students (n=237) reported significantly higher daytime sleepiness. There is a significant difference between academic performance and sleepiness. Science stream students are more likely to record higher sleepiness compared to non-science students. There is a need to increase the awareness of this problem in the education and to further research on this issue in the Malaysian context.

PROSES PEMBENTUKAN INSTRUMEN KEBAHAGIAAN SUBJEKTIF ORANG KURANG UPAYA-FIZIKAL (IKSOKU-F)

Volume : Vol. 3, 2015

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.
