Adaptation of Academic Psychological Capital Questionnaire in Bahasa Indonesia

Abstract

--This study aimed to adapt the Academic Psychological Capital Questionnaire developed by Luthans et.al. [4] in Bahasa Indonesia. This version is adapted from Psychological Capital Questionnaire developed by Luthan et.al.(2007). Academic psychological capital questionnaire assesses 4 dimensions of the Psychological Capital i.e. hope, efficacy, resiliency and optimism. Adaptation was carried out using steps of adaptation suggested by Beaton [2]. The adaptation process was done through translation, synthesis, back translation, expert review, and pre-testing. The translated version of the questionnaire was tested to 20 college students to check its readability. The final adapted version of the questionnaire was then tested to 82 college students. Item total correlation shows that there are 12 items that have high correlation values (rtt .310 -.576). There are 12 items which show low correlation values (rtt .052 0.292). Statistical analysis showed that the reliability of the alpha Cronbach coefficient is .759. Revision on the adaptation items which showed low item-total correlation values is suggested.
