Joevarian Hudiyana — 2024-08-29

Seiring dengan perkembangan norma dalam masyarakat dan evolusi dari platform digital, cara manusia saling terhubung, menjalin relasi, berkomunikasi, dan mempertahankan hubungan juga terdampak. Begitu pula dalam hubungan romantis seperti berpacaran, berkencan, atau bahkan pernikahan.

Jika dulu pasangan bertemu lewat pertemuan sosial atau pesta, perkenalan melalui keluarga, perjodohan, atau lewat jasa mak comblang, saat ini kesempatan menemui calon pasangan bisa terjadi lewat satu klik saja di media sosial ataupun lewat berbagai aplikasi kencan. Meski demikian, isu-isu seperti kekerasan dalam hubungan romantis atau trust issue antar pasangan masih menjadi topik yang penting bahkan berinteraksi dengan digitalisasi hubungan romantis yang telah disebutkan.

Catatan Managing Editor: Menemukenali kembali cinta dan seksualitas dalam riset relasi diadik (romantis) di Psikologi Indonesia

Wahyu Rahardjo — 2024-08-29

Perilaku mencari pasangan adalah sesuatu yang lazim dilakukan oleh mahluk hidup, termasuk manusia. Perilaku ini menjadi menarik untuk dicermati sekaligus ditelaah, mengingat terjadi dalam kondisi yang cenderung kompetitif dikarenakan perbedaan rasio jenis kelamin, dan jumlah individu yang tergolong produktif secara seksual (Albert dkk., 2024). Artinya, perilaku mencari pasangan ini memang secara sengaja dilakukan individu tidak secara acak, namun berdasarkan standar kesukaan tertentu terhadap calon pasangan (Apostolou dkk., 2023), di mana baik pria dan wanita memiliki karakteristik unik yang berbeda dalam mencari pasangan lawan jenisnya (Zink, Weir, & Fisher, 2022). Dewasa ini perilaku mencari pasangan menjadi kian mudah dilakukan dan terbantu dengan banyaknya aplikasi kencan tertentu yang dilakukan secara daring (Ranzini, Rosenbaum, & Tybur, 2022; Vranken, Sumter, & Vandenbosch, 2024). Di dalam konteks ini, individu dapat berposisi sebagai pencari, atau justru yang dicari oleh orang lain untuk dijadikan pasangan (Schmitt & Buss, 2001).

Pentingnya keterbukaan dan kejujuran dalam presentasi diri: Studi eksplorasi pengguna aplikasi Tinder

Maria Bramanwidyantari — 2024-08-27

Humans realize the importance of having a partner. However, the process in achieving this goal is challenging. Online dating became a medium to build romantic relationships that can be done easily through an application. The recognition process between users starts with liking each other's profiles which is assisted by an algorithmic system. So, it is important for users to present themselves properly on their profile. This study aims to see how the user's self-presentation is formed. Through a thematic analysis of the results of a questionnaire involving 383 Tinder online dating users, it was found that actual self-presentation is an important point for online dating users who emphasize aspects of honesty and openness. Differences in the motivation of online dating users do not lead to different self-presentation views between them. Moreover, the actual self in online dating profiles is displayed selectively taking into account the climate of informal interaction on Tinder.

Ideally, in the early adult development stage, women are able to find a partner and build a family life. However, this can be hampered when early adult women experience trust issues in romantic relationships. Trust issues in romantic relationships can reduce the level of readiness for marriage in early adult women. This study aims to examine the correlation of several factors that are predicted to have a correlation with the readiness to marry early adult women who experience trust issues in romantic relationships. This study uses a quantitative approach with correlational methods. This study involved 152 young adult women who were categorized as experiencing trust issues in romantic relationships. Data analysis used structural equation model-partial least square analysis. Based on research data analysis, readiness to have sexual relations and intimate communication skills are positively and significantly correlated with readiness to marry early adult women who experience trust issues in romantic relationships. However, this study also found that social environment support and family support did not significantly correlate with readiness for marriage in early adult women who experienced trust issues in romantic relationships. These findings can be a reference for further research with the same theme and references in psychological services with related clients.

Yonathan Natanael — 2024-08-27

Research studies using the short version of the MSDV still need to be widely carried out by psychology researchers. To prove the validity of the MSDV in its use in Indonesia, this study aims to conduct a more in-depth investigation of the quality of psychometric properties, especially in the five items of the sexual violence subscale on the MSDV instrument. The research method used is a survey research design. The participants in this study were 171 female students with the criteria of having experienced dating violence, studying at universities, and being domiciled in Jakarta, which were obtained by convenience sampling. This study found that the five items of the sexual violence subscale on the MSDV had the appropriate factor structure, had good reliability values, met the convergence-discriminant validity requirements with the DASS-21 and PMH-Scale instruments, and detectable one item is not invariance. This study implies that the four of five items of the sexual violence subscale are appropriate to use as an instrument for screening dating violence in Indonesia.

Indah Mulyani — 2024-08-27

Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menguji secara empiris pengaruh moral disengagement terhadap sexting dengan jenis kelamin sebagai variabel kontrol. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 223 remaja yang seluruhnya merupakan mahasiswa. Teknik analisis utama yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah anacova dengan melibatkan variabel jenis kelamin sebagai kontrol. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa moral disengagement dan jenis kelamin memiliki pengaruh terhadap perilaku sexting pada remaja. Artinya, perbedaan jenis kelamin mempengaruhi pula kesempatan yang berbeda untuk terlibat dalam perilaku sexting meskipun keduanya sama-sama memiliki kelonggaran kognitif dalam berperilaku yang bertentangan dengan norma. Hasil penelitian secara lebih lanjut menjelaskan bahwa moral disengagement pada partisipan laki-laki berperan lebih besar dalam membentuk perilaku individu dalam mengirimkan dan menerima pesan berisi konten seksual dibandingkan perempuan. Selain itu, secara keseluruhan, moral disengagement yang tinggi berdampak lebih besar pada perilaku partisipan dalam mengirimkan pesan berkonten seksual dibandingkan sebagai penerima.

Dating violence (KDP) is one of the most prevalent cases in Indonesia. Most victims of the cases choose to stay in the relationship and forgive their partners. This study aims to investigate whether emotional regulation strategies mediate the role of romantic attachment components on affective and cognitive empathy toward victims of dating violence. Participants in the study were victims of dating violence aged 18-29 years (N= 367) who live in Java Island. Research samples were collected using volunteer techniques (opt-in) panels where participants agreed to be involved through an invitation on a website page without being formally recruited. This study employs The Basic Empathy Scale to measure the dimensions of empathy, the Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory to measure the type of romantic attachment components, and finally Emotion Regulation Questionnaire to measure the type of emotional regulation strategies. By model 4 of Hayes's analyses, the results showed that the reappraisal strategies type mediated the role of avoidance attachment toward empathy, both affective and cognitive. As practical implications, counselors are expected to establish secure attachments, particularly with their clients who experience dating violence in order to stabilize cognitive and affective empathy so they are able to live free of violent relationships.
