We examined the psychometric properties of two parenting measures, the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) and the Parent-Child Relationships Questionnaire (PCRQ) which were translated into Indonesian for use in Indonesia. The Indonesian versions of these questionnaires were completed by 514 parents and 459 parents, respectively. Participants were parents (mostly mothers) of typically developing children, who completed the measures through an online or paper-based survey. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), parallel analyses,internal and external construct validity,and internal reliability were performed on both measures. Results revealed that the translated version of the PSDQ consisted of three factors. Two of these factors reflected the Authoritative and Authoritarian subscales of the original measure; however, the Permissive subscale was not obtained. A third factor, labelled Reasoning, was extracted. The translated PCRQ was found to have the same structure as the original version of the measure. Some modifications were required for both instruments, and the modified versions of the instruments had acceptable internal consistency. Development of these translated and modified instruments will support parenting research within Indonesia.

Father as the breadwinner of the family must have roles on nurturing the children. The way of father's nurturing, or so-called fathering, may differ, depends on several presences of social context. The aim of this study is to describe fathering in relation with father's educational level and occupation. A total of 1424 undergraduate students living in Semarang (male = 444; female = 980) completed an open-ended questionnaire developed by Kim that asks how their father nurture them. The data was analyzed using indigenous psychological approach of analyzing the content of open-ended responses, categorization of the responses, and crosstabulating with background information. The results indicate that fathering has no relation with father's educational level, but has relation with father's occupation. Implication of the results will be discussed.

This study provides preliminary psychometric data for two fathering measures, the existing Nurturant Fathering Scale and the newly developed Father Involvement Scale. Both measures are completed from the adolescent or adult child’s retrospective point of view. The Nurturant Fathering Scale assesses the affective quality of fathering that young people perceived while growing up. The Father Involvement Scale assesses the extent

In this study, we aimed to discover whether father’s involvement with adolescents differs based on the adolescents’ gender and cultural differences. The study population included immigrant South Koreans (n = 106) who currently live in Jakarta and Indonesians (n = 343) who currently live in Jabodetabek regions, with an age range of 15 to 18 years old. This research used the Nurturant Fathering Scale (affective domain), the Reported Father Involvement Scale (behavioral domain), and the Desired Father Involvement Scale (desired domain) to measure father’s involvement. The data were collected through both offline and online questionnaires in high schools (both national and international). A two-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. This study found that father’s involvement did not differ between male and female adolescents. However, father’s involvement did differ based on culture, with immigrant South Korean fathers showing higher levels of involvement in the behavior...

As fathering gains increasing attention in parenting studies, the same instrument is always used to measure fathering and mothering concurrently and comparisons are made without prior establishment of measurement invariance. It is common that parenting scales possess different factor structures across different cultural settings. This study aimed to examine the factor structure, measurement invariance and latent mean differences of the Father/Mother Involvement Scale across adolescents' perceived paternal and maternal involvement and by adolescent gender. A random sample of 720 Malaysian high school adolescents (M age =16 years; SD=0.16) was used in the current study. Initial confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated that the original factor structure had inadequate fit in the current sample. Subsequent exploratory factor analysis (EFA) yielded a three-factor structure that demonstrated good fit in further CFAs. Multigroup CFA provided support for configural invariance, metric invariance and scalar invariance across adolescents' perceived paternal and maternal involvement and across adolescent gender. The latent factor mean comparisons showed that mothers were perceived to have higher expressive, instrumental and leisure/companionship involvement. Female adolescents perceived higher paternal expressive and instrumental involvement and maternal expressive, instrumental and leisure/companionship involvement than
Parenting Research in Indonesia: What We Have Done So Far
Buletin Psikologi
Parenting is one of the most important responsibilities that someone could bear as a parent, probably the most burdensome too. Regardless, several questions are still left unanswered by Indonesian scientists, what are the field of studies related to parenting? What are the problems emanating from the practice of parenting and their solutions? What are the strategic steps one can take as psychology scientist or practitioner to improve parenting in Indonesia? This study examined the application of scoping review to provide responses for aforementioned questions. Just like the way a cartographer map an area in order to advance civilization, a scoping review is meant to enlighten future researchers with the answers on “what has been done?”. Five databases were searched in this review, 94 articles were discovered to undergo further rigorous selection, and 16 chosen articles were charted and analyzed accordingly. Finding shows that education, health, and psychology were the field of studi...
Describing Father’s Parenting Attachment in Minangkabau Culture from an Adolescent’s Perspective
2024
The Qur'an has shown that the father's role is very important in parenting. This can be seen from several dialogue verses between father and child totaling 14 verses, more than the dialogue verses between mother and child which total 2 verses, as well as parents in general with children which only total 1 verse. Fathers who have a secure attachment to their children while caring for them will help the child's development to be optimal, so that the child will be kept away from problematic behavior. One of the factors that influences father's attachment is cultural factors. Minangkabau as a culture that has the philosophy of "child on the lap, Kamanakan on the guide" shows that fathers in Minangkabau families have an important role in implementing care for their children. This research is initial research which aims to describe father's attachment in parenting in Minangkabau from the perspective of adolescents. This research was conducted in Padang City with a sample size of 164 adolescences, using accidental sampling technique. Data was taken using the IPPA-R Scale for children and analyzed using JASP. The research results showed that most of those who filled out the questionnaire were female adolescences. Furthermore, the results of the questionnaire also show that father attachment in Minangkabau is in the medium category. This means that the father has a secure attachment to his child even though he is not too close.

Adolescence will be even more difficult when they experience a crisis phase due to the loss of a parent, such as a mother who dies, divorces, or mother as a migrant worker. This condition often occurs in Karawang and makes teenagers forced to live with their fathers who are usually perceived as less involved in their lives. In fact, the father's involvement is very important for adolescent's subjective well-being, so that they can rise from these negative experiences. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of perceived father's involvement on the subjective well-being of adolescents who live only with their father. Research respondents obtained using convenience sampling technique as many as 56 early adolescents (12-15 years). The researcher used a questionnaire that containing the measuring tools of The Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Nurturant Fathering Scale and The Father Involvement Scale; and multiple regression for data analysis. The results showed that adolescent's life satisfaction was influenced by father nurturance, t(53) = 2.095, p < .05, adolescent's positive affect was partially influenced by father nurturance, t(53) = 3.088 p < .05, as well as simultaneously with father involvement, F(2, 53) = 6.657, p < .05, R 2 = .201, and adolescent's negative affect was simultaneously influenced by father nurturance and father involvement. Thus, we hope that fathers can increase their role as single parents because the greater father's involvement can affect adolescent's higher life satisfaction, the higher positive affect and the lower negative affect, making it easier for adolescents to face the crisis phase.
