The Problem of Scale Contamination and Construct Validity in Mental Health, Social Science and Spirituality-Related Research
This article explores the pervasive issue of scale contamination and its impact on construct validity in mental health, social science, and spirituality-related research.

The blending of distinct psychological domains, such as dep…
Evaluation of co-designed online teacher training program for providing neuroscience- informed mental health intervention to Japanese children

In the absence of marriage
Unlike in most Western countries where singleness has been relatively considered as an individual’s choice, singleness is often regarded as a social problem in Indonesia. This causes challenges for never married individuals to meet their belonging needs and to maintain their well-being. The current study aimed to explore the roles of social support, religiosity, and religious coping in assisting never-married Indonesian adults to maintain their w…

Conducting such a meta-analysis would be valuabl…

Being single when marriage is the norm
Motivations and reactions to social undervaluation of single people in married society
Being single and of marriageable age in a society where marriage is the norm invites perceptions of social undervaluation and vulnerability to social pressure to conform. The current study examines the reasons for more Indonesian adults remaining single, the perceived societal stigma related to this, and how they react to such undervaluing societal perceptions. Never-married Indonesian adults ( N= 350; M age =29.79 ± 4.50) participated in this st…

The Asian Single Profiles
There is a growing number of single people in the population in Asia, with a higher tendency for single people to be found in the East and Southeast Asia regions. Nevertheless, limited studies are available on the sociopsychological aspects of Asian singles. In fact, societies in many Asian countries have a variety of responses and attitudes toward singles. The overarching purpose of this literature review is, thus, to present many profiles of si…
What Does It Mean to Be Single in Indonesia? Religiosity, Social Stigma, and Marital Status Among Never-Married Indonesian Adults
The increasing number of never-married individuals has become a global phenomenon. Like many Asian countries, the sociocultural standard in Indonesia defines being married as a desirable social achievement, which leaves single adults vulnerable to derogation. Religiosity is also highly valued in Indonesian society, to the extent that those who show religious attributes tend to be positively regarded. This study aims to describe how Indonesian soc…
