Aging represents a gradual, dynamic, natural and inevitable process that occurs throughout life. This study was carried out with the purpose of exploring the social representations built around the quality of life of older people who participate in sports workshops oriented around physical activity and health. The study was developed in 2017 during the months of August-November, and it is a qualitative investigation that used conventional content analysis, with 30 older adults from the Maule region, Chile, participating in the investigation. Data were collected through four focus groups, which were recorded, transcribed, and then analyzed with a content analysis approach, by means of the Nvivo 10 software. The data analysis allowed the emergence of two main categories of physical activity and quality of life, which are displayed through six subcategories: socialization, new learnings, role of the teacher, benefits, diversity of exercise and physical difficulties. The results showed that older people highlight the need to generate socialization processes through participation in sports-recreational workshops, recognizing the role of the teacher in learning new activities and exercises. On the other hand, they highlight the benefits it generates for their health and quality of life, the systematic practice of physical activity, social participation, coexistence and interaction with other people, which allows for greater independence and autonomy. Therefore, it is suggested that more qualitative studies should be conducted in this age group, with the aim of understanding how older people live this fundamental stage of their lives.

Ada yang cepat memaakan kesalahan diri sendiri, namun ada yang butuh waktu lama atau bahkan membenci diri sendiri karena kesalahan yang diperbuat. Konsep penting terkait hal tersebut yaitu pemaafan diri yang ternyata berimbas positif pada kesejahteraan psikologis dan kesehatan mental. Pengukuran pemaafan diri kemudian menjadi penting untuk mendukung semakin banyaknya penelitian pemaafan diri. Namun begitu, meski di luar sudah dikembangkanbeberapa skala pemaafan diri, di Indonesia belum banyak ditemukan penelitian yang khusus mengembangkan atau mengadaptasi skala ini. Dalam tulisan ini, peneliti bertujuan mengembangkan skala pemaafan diri yang diharapkan menjadi alat ukur yang valid dan reliabel. Peneliti melakukan tujuh tahapan pengembangan skala yaitu: (1) penentuan konstrak ukur, (2) penyusunan indikator-aitem, (3) pengujian validitas isi, (4) uji coba, (5) uji lapangan, (6) seleksi aitem, dan (7) penyusu...

The enactment of various new policies to curb the spread of the disease, i.e., social distancing, work and study from home, restrictions on large-scale activities and restriction in travelling, compel each one of us to adjust.

Several studies show that children from broken-home family have complex problems. However, some children from broken-home family are found to be able to have a good achievement and able to grow to be positive. They are able to build resilience in facing their family problems. The purpose of study was to understand how a child from broken homes achieves resilience. A phenomenology study was used in this study. Interviews and observations were used to collect data. The subject was a 25-year-old female. The resilience framework which focuses on socio-ecological context was used to understand how the subject achieved the resilience. The parents of the subject divorced when the subject was four years old, then subject's mother remarried three times. The subject had stressors related to open conflict between her mother and father, traumatic experience through witnessing physical abuse of step father, lack of openness in communication with mother, and unsupportive friends. In this case, the resilience process began when the subject was already young adult. The subject's understanding could help her in accepting and coping the problem actively. It is supported by subject's internal characteristics including religiosity, cognitive, and social competencies which developed as the subject grown up. The openness in communication which get reciprocity from the significant other around the subject has a role in achieving resilience. Therefore, the lesson learned from this research are resilience can be achieved if the individual who exposured the stressors coped the problem actively. It is supported by both of internal and external resilience factors which include of: (1) acceptance, (2) religiosity, (3) cognitive ability, (4) social competencies, and (5) social support. In this case, mature age seemed to be an important factor in achieving resilience since it reflect maturity in those factors cited previously.

Therefore, there is a necessity of generic instrument in work performance. However, most instruments measuring individual work performance are only developed for specific purposes in particular jobs. Thus it is not appropriate to utilize in a research involving workers from different types of jobs. One of generic instruments measuring work performance is Individual work performance questionnaire (IWPQ). The purpose of this research is to do the adaptation process of IWPQ into Indonesian. The procedure in the adaptation process consists of forward translation, synthesis, back translation, back translation review, and cognitive debriefing. Content validity test using Aiken's V shows that all IWPQ items have high Aiken's V. The field test involving 231 employees shows that IWPQ has a good discriminant indexes, ranging from .447 to .734. The Indonesian version of IWPQ also has a good reliability, in task performance (TP) .871; contextual performance (CP) .858; and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) .814.
