In the Module 2 Lecture 1 session, Dr. Zamzam delivered a lecture on the multisensory ethnographic approach in the digital era, particularly in anthropological research. Anthropological studies focus on the social construction of the senses, especially sensory perception in the process of socialization, which is not limited to merely physical or bodily perception. These socially constructed sensory perceptions have implications for the affective dimensions of individuals. In this context, the term affect refers to a general category of emotions and sensations that influence how we perceive and act upon the world, and it should be understood within the framework of social action. read more

CICP researchers have successfully secured funding from the UGM International Joint Research Academy (IJRA) under the sub-program International Research Collaboration, part of UGM’s flagship program on Socio-Cultural Resilience of Communities. The research, led by Pradytia Putri Pertiwi, Ph.D., began with a preliminary study titled Vulnerability and Social Cohesion in Shared Spaces: A Cross-Country Analysis of Forcibly Displaced Rohingyas in Bangladesh and Indonesia. This research aligns with the targets of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10: Reduced Inequalities and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. The research was conducted in collaboration with Randy Wirasta Nandyatama, SIP, M.Sc., Ph.D, from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences UGM, Dr. Marta Mawarpury from the Faculty of Medicine, Syiah Kuala University, Prof. Dennis Dijkzeul, and Dr. Abu Faisal Md. Khaled from the Institute for International Law for Peace and Conflict – IFHV, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany.

The study aims to address a gap in existing literature by conducting a comparative analysis of vulnerability and social cohesion within the humanitarian system, focusing on Rohingya communities in Indonesia and Bangladesh. It integrates perspectives from psychology, political science, law, and humanitarian studies. Participants in the study include Rohingya refugees, local community members, and institutions involved in refugee management. Data collection methods include direct interviews, observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs).

Dr. Pradytia, along with CICP research assistants Duma Hardiana Manurung and Fadhliah Sofiyana Noor Saprowi, conducted preliminary fieldwork in Aceh.

Pada Minggu (10/10), Junior Researcher CICP Syurawasti Muhiddin, S.Psi., M.A. menjadi pembicara dalam webinar yang diselenggarakan Lingkar Psikologi. Syura mengisi tema berjudul “Stigma dan Ketidaksetaraan Karena Ras dan Etnis terkait dengan Kesehatan Mental”. Webinar ini diselenggarakan melalui Zoom dan disiarkan langsung melalui kanal Youtube. Peserta berasal dari kalangan masyarakat umum yang tertarik dengan isu kesehatan mental dari berbagai daerah di seluruh dunia. Acara ini membahas kaitan perbedaan ras dan etnis yang dapat menjadi tantangan mencapai kesehatan mental. Syura menyampaikan bahwa perbedaan ras dan etnis ini memunculkan stigma yang menghambat seseorang dalam mencari pertolongan profesional. Penolakan dari masyarakat juga menjadi hal yang tidak terelakkan dari adanya stigma buruk pada Orang dengan Gangguan Jiwa (ODGJ). Syura menekankan pentingnya memahami kesehatan mental secara kontekstual. Selain itu, Indigenous Psychology sebagai studi ilmiah bersifat native dengan berbasis ide ilmu ‘dari masyarakat untuk masyarakat’’ mampu membantu menjembatani pemahaman pentingnya konteks dalam menangani isu gangguan mental di masyarakat. Pengetahuan mengenai kebudayaan setempat juga dibutuhkan untuk menanggapi isu kesehatan mental secara lokal. [Ratri/Humas CICP]

The Center for Indigenous and Cultural Psychology (CICP) had completed a series of activities in the School of Researcher (SOR) on Monday (27/4). There were four in-class sessions, starting on Wednesday (15/4) using an online platform. SOR is training for new research assistants about basics of research related to CICP’s activities. The participants of SOR were graduate students in the Faculty of Psychology UGM.

Each in-class session discussed different topics. In the first session, CICP invited Adelia Khrisna Putri, S.Psi., M.Sc. to guide the discussion about Indigenous, Cultural, and Cross-cultural Psychology. Then, in the second session (20/4), we discussed the qualitative and thematic analysis methods with Ika Adita Silviandari, S.Psi., M.Psi., Psikolog. In the session, participants were trained about the research methods and hopefully can put the knowledge into practice. Ika explained that a researcher must pick up the “soul” of the data so they can obtain vast, in-depth information. She advised the participants as beginners to practice data coding multiple times.

The participants receive enrichment about the quantitative method and statistics in the third session on Wednesday (22/4). In this session, CICP invited Wahyu Jati Anggoro, S.Psi., M.A. as the speaker. for the session aimed to provide participants the illustration on applying quantitative method and statistical analysis in research. In CICP, researchers usually begin the study with a qualitative approach and followed by data quantification. Data quantification adheres to the parsimony principle, simplifying the phenomenon into numbers. Similar to previous sessions, this session involved interactive discussion between participants and the speaker, thus the participants could explore their knowledge more thoroughly.

After two consecutive sessions about research methods, CICP held the last session which discussed the proofreading process in the production of a publication manuscript. Haidar Buldan Thontowi, S.Psi., M.A., Ph.D.(cand) was the speaker of this session. In this session, Buldan taught the participants to have an orientation to detail when proofreading manuscripts that they are going to submit into journals. Buldan pointed out that the re-checking process of the article is important.  The series of activities in the School of Researcher program was designed to be interactive. After each lecture, the speaker gave some tasks for the participants so they can gain a better understanding of the materials taught in the session. Thus, the participants would be ready to participate in CICP research.

Di dalam kegiatan tersebut, CICP berkontribusi untuk mengadakan workshop publikasi bersama  Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D., dan Luca Tateo. Ph.D. Workshop ini sebagai bentuk kerja sama CICP dengan Centre for Cultural Psychology Aalborg University, Denmark. Workshop ini diselenggarakan pada tanggal 17-18 Oktober 2019 mulai pukul 08.00-17.00 di ruang A-214. Kegiatan tersebut bertujuan untuk mengembangkan manuskip yang berkaitan dengan topik psikologi dan budaya termasuk di dalamnya topik mengenai budaya kontemporer (gaya hidup, cara pikir, dsb). Target dari kegiatan ini adalah publikasi pada jurnal-jurnal yang termasuk didalamnya Culture and Psychology serta Human Arenas. Workshop diikuti oleh Dosen dan mahasiswa S3 Fakultas Psikologi UGM yang menjadi first author atau co author dari sebuah manuskrip. Penulis manuskrip tersebut diperbolehkan berasal dari mahasiswa S1 dan S2.

Sebelum workshop diselenggarakan, peserta diseleksi terlebih dahulu dengan melakukan screening terhadap manuskrip yang akan diikutkan pada workshop. Dalam screening tersebut, panitia mengutamakan manuskrip yang menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Calon peserta mengirimkan manuskrip kepada panitia pada 30 September 2019. Setelah melakukan screening, panitia menentukan manuskrip yang lolos serta meminta peserta untuk melengkapi abstrak. Manuskrip yang lolos kemudian diikutkan workshop pada tanggal 17-18 Oktober 2019. Peserta yang mengikuti workshop ini adalah salah satu penulis dari manuskrip tersebut.

Workshop Publikasi berisi materi, sharing, diskusi, serta session feedback dan review manuskrip dari Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D. dan Luca Tateo. Ph.D., serta revisi manuskrip. Dalam workshop ini Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D., memberikan materi bersama-sama dengan Luca Tateo. Ph.D. Mereka menyampaikan materi mengenai cultural psychology serta memberikan pembekalan agar peserta dapat mengembangkan manuskrip dengan rejection rate yang kecil. Pada sesi diskusi, peserta workshop dibagi menjadi dua kelompok yang di dalamnya dipimpin oleh Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D., dan Luca Tateo. Ph.D.,. Dalam sesi ini peserta diberi kesempatan untuk menjelaskan mengenai penelitiannya kepada forum dan menerima feedback dari Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D. dan Luca Tateo. Ph.D.

Follow up dari workshop publikasi ini adalah revisi manuskrip sesuai masukkan dari Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D., Associate Professor atau Luca Tateo. Ph.D. Pengumpulan revisi akan dilakukan pada bulan Desember. Manuskrip yang matang akan diutamakan untuk mendapatkan bimbingan lanjutan sampai tahap publikasi pada jurnal internasional.

CICP menyelenggarakan Theory Building Training (TBT) Advanced pada Jumat-Sabtu, 25-26 Oktober 2019. TBT kali ini bertemakan “Writing Up Qualitative Research” yang diisi oleh 2 pembicara sekaligus mentor yaitu Dr. Wenty Marina Minza, M.A. dan Edilburga Wulan Saptandari, M.Psi., Psikolog., Ph.D . Tujuan diselenggarakannya TBT Advanced Level ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan peserta dalam menulis hasil penelitian kualitatif.

TBT hari pertama diisi dengan penyampaian materi oleh kedua mentor. Pada sesi pertama, Edilburga Wulan Saptandari, M.Psi., Psikolog., Ph.D. menyampaikan materi dengan topik “Introduction to writing qualitative research”. Pada sesi ini, pemateri menjelaskan beberapa rambu-rambu yang perlu diperhatikan penulis riset kualitatif saat menulis penelitiannya, salah satunya adalah bahwa penulis riset kualitatif sebisa mungkin menulis risetnya dengan bercerita, bukan menempatkan jarak antara penulis dengan hasil risetnya. Meskipun begitu, Edilburga mengakui bahwa perkara bercerita ini menempatkan subjektivitas yang cukup kentara pada penulisan riset yang dilakukan.

Sesi kedua pada hari pertama diisi oleh Dr. Wenty Marina Minza, M.A. dengan topik “Styles in writing qualitative research”. Wenty menyampaikan beberapa “gaya cerita” yang bisa digunakan peneliti riset kualitatif serta penyampaian tahapan apa saja yang perlu dilakukan dalam menulis riset kualitatif. Pada sesi ini, Bu Wenty juga menekankan pentingnya penjelasan mengenai konteks dari riset yang dilakukan peneliti. Berdasarkan materi yang disampaikan oleh Luca Tateo, Ph.D (Luca) dan Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D (Pina) dari Centre for Cultural Psychology Aalborg University, Denmark pada acara CICP Publication Workshop yang diselenggarakan 17-18 Oktober lalu, Bu Wenty menyampaikan bahwa konteks pada manuskrip penelitian di CICP sangat diperlukan sebagai keunggulan penulisan riset di CICP yang berbasis budaya dan indigenous.

Hari kedua TBT Advanced difokuskan pada kegiatan aktif yang dilakukan peserta yaitu praktik menulis dan mempresentasikan hasil dari praktik menulisnya. Peserta diminta untuk mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan pada hari pertama untuk dipresentasikan pada hari kedua. Pada sesi ini kedua mentor memberikan masukan terkait hasil tulisan peserta.

Berbeda dengan TBT level Intermediate yang diselenggarakan April lalu, TBT level Advanced menekankan pada praktik menulis langsung artikel penelitian dengan dipandu langsung oleh para mentor. Peserta yang mengikuti TBT Advanced mayoritas adalah mahasiswa S3 yang sedang mengerjakan disertasi. (Humas CICP/Ratri Arista)

Kamis dan Jumat (17-18/10) lalu, CICP baru saja menyelenggarakan acara CICP Publication Workshop yang diisi oleh Luca Tateo, Ph.D (Luca) dan Giuseppina Marsico, Ph.D (Pina) dari Centre for Cultural Psychology Aalborg University, Denmark. Workshop ini bertujuan untuk mewadahi proses pengembangan manuskrip penelitian yang berhubungan dengan topik psikologi dan budaya terutama budaya kontemporer sebagai gaya hidup (ways of thinking/being/doing). Target dari pengembangan manuskrip ini adalah manuskrip menjadi lebih matang dan layak untuk dipublikasikan di jurnal internasional terutama jurnal Culture & Psychology dan jurnal Human Arenas.

Hari pertama workshop diawali dengan pembukaan acara mengenai pengetahuan dasar tentang dunia penelitian. Luca dan Pina menjelaskan bahwa seorang peneliti, selain perlu mempertimbangkan standar publikasi seperti impact factor dan h-index, juga perlu memiliki minat yang tinggi pada riset yang sedang dijalani. Kemampuan menelaah manuskrip riset peneliti lain juga menjadi kemampuan yang berguna karena peneliti dapat saling belajar mengenai cara menulis riset yang baik.

Kegiatan pada hari pertama dilanjutkan dengan diskusi terarah yang dibimbing langsung oleh Luca dan Pina. Setiap peserta diberi waktu untuk menyampaikan manuskrip penelitiannya secara oral untuk selanjutnya mendapat peer-review dan masukan serta saran dari Luca dan Pina. Acara diakhiri dengan penyampaian beberapa inti permasalahan yang umum terjadi pada peserta dalam pengerjaan manuskrip serta solusi atas permasalahan tersebut.

Hari kedua workshop diisi dengan pemberian pengetahuan secara umum mengenai jurnal-jurnal yang dapat menjadi tujuan publikasi manuskrip riset peserta. Luca dan Pina juga menjelaskan mengenai karakteristik khusus dan fokus artikel yang berbeda di tiap jurnal. Luca dan Pina menghimbau kepada peserta mengenai keberadaan adanya jurnal predator yang dapat merugikan para peneliti. Selanjutnya, Luca dan Pina memandu tata cara mengirim artikel jurnal secara daring dengan mengambil contoh cara mengirim artikel ke jurnal Human Arenas. Luca dan Pina menekankan pentingnya menjaga artikel yang dikirim tetap anonim dan tata cara menjaga anonimitas tersebut. Di akhir sesi materi, Luca dan Pina menyampaikan alternatif cara berpikir out of the box tentang fenomena yang dijabarkan dalam riset. Alternatif cara berpikir tersebut diharapkan dapat diterapkan pada manuskrip riset masing-masing peserta sehingga manuskrip dapat menjadi semakin layak dan lolos publikasi jurnal internasional.

Rangkaian acara workshop ditutup dengan ucapan kesan oleh Luca dan Pina mengenai kegiatan workshop selama dua hari tersebut serta kesan umum Luca dan Pina mengenai kebudayaan yang ada di Indonesia dan khususnya di Yogyakarta dimana kebudayaan di Indonesia sangat kaya dan memang patut untuk diteliti lebih lanjut. Direktur CICP Dr. Wenty Marina Minza, M.A. selaku perwakilan Fakultas Psikologi UGM kemudian memberi kenang-kenangan kepada Luca dan Pina sebagai pembicara. Rangkaian acara kemudian ditutup secara final dengan sesi foto bersama pembicara dan peserta. (Humas CICP/Ratri Arista)

The Indonesian Psychological Consortium (Konsorsium Psikologi Indonesia/KPI) recently held a workshop titled “Visual Techniques in Psychological Anthropology” and a screening of the film TAJEN: INTERACTIVE last Friday (9/6) in Universitas Gadjah Mada’s Faculty of Psychology. Both events brought in Robert Lemelson, Ph.D., who is a psychological and visual anthropologist based in the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and also an ethnography film director. Lemelson has been delving into the world of Visual Psychological Anthropology (VPA) for approximately 20 years and has won many awards for his films about psychology and culture in Indonesia. In the film screening and in the workshop, Lemelson talked about the concept of VPA and its application in research and movies about cultures present in Indonesia.

In the workshop, held in the Faculty of Psychology’s Room A-203, Lemelson explained that the visual technique in psychological anthropology starts by determining the research topic, and it can also start by transforming previous research to a visual film form. Lemelson also stated that aspects of filmmaking in the VPA method start from pre-production, production, post-production, and film distribution as well as marketing. In this workshop, Lemelson gave an example of filmmaking through his previous works exploring cultures in Indonesia.

After the workshop, the film TAJEN: INTERACTIVE, produced by Lementhal Production, was screened. The screening, as well as an interactive question and answer session, was held in the Faculty of Psychology’s G-100 Auditorium. This film explored the theme of cockfighting in Negara, Bali, viewed from the owner’s perspective, the rooster itself, and the spur knife as a supporting tool. TAJEN used a unique way of shooting that makes viewers feel like they are in the middle of the action. The event continued with a Q & A session and additional commentary about the film’s concept.

Before this event in which Lemelson became the key speaker, Lemelson was also involved in KPI’s succession. In 2018, the Center for Indigenous & Cultural Psychology (CICP) became a partner in KPI’s research, with the theme “Identity, Self-Esteem, Life Satisfaction, Attitude toward Multiculturalism among Young Adults from Five Ethnic Groups in Indonesia”. The five ethnic groups researched were the Minangkabau, Batak, Chinese, Javanese, and Balinese people. The research was a collaboration between CICP, KPI, and the Robert Lemelson Foundation.

The second day started with Indonesian arts and culture performances in the opening ceremony of the 2019 ICICP. An unforgettable performance was given by the performers, and the speakers, given the opportunity to wear traditional Indonesian clothing, also experienced something unforgettable and unique. The ceremony continued with remarks from the Head of the Committee, Wahyu Jati Anggoro, S.Psi., M.A. and the Chairman of the Executive Board, Prof. Kwartarini Wahyu Yuniarti, MMedSc., Ph.D., who in this opportunity also spoke in place of the Dean of the Faculty of Psychology. The events continued with the keynote address from speakers and presentations of the conference participants in the form of parallel symposiums.

On the third day, public lectures through the speaker’s’ keynote address and parallel symposiums still went on. The series of events in the 2019 ICICP ended with a closing ceremony held in the outdoor area of Universitas Gadjah Mada’s Faculty of Psychology. The closing ceremony began with a declaration from Asosiasi Psikologi Indigenous dan Kultural (APIK), witnessed by representatives from Himpunan Psikologi Indonesia (HIMPSI). Afterward, the event continued with art performances, ending with the performance of Reog Ponorogo, a traditional Indonesian dance. The art performances were enjoyed by speakers, participants, and the committee of the 2019 ICICP, who danced together to traditional Indonesian music. (CICP/Ratri Arista)

The 4.0 industrial revolution is the background that inspired CICP to hold this event. It can’t be denied that the 4.0 industrial revolution has started to change the fabric of people’s lives, and technological advancements are no exceptions. Big data is one of the tangible manifestations of technology. Big data is a new technology in the world of information technology that enables fast processing, storing, and analysis of large amounts of data. The opportunities opened by big data can be utilized to sustain the development of scientific knowledge in this era.

The Center of Indigenous and Cultural Psychology (CICP) sees this opportunity as additional support in obtaining and managing research data. As a research-based unit, CICP wants to equip psychology students, especially CICP’s research interns with knowledge and understanding of big data to enhance research. Therefore, on Tuesday, April 30, 2019, an event called  “Big Data Workshop” was held. The event started from afternoon to evening and was led by Yohanes Kartika Herdiyanto, S.Psi., M.A, a lecturer in psychology from Universitas Udayana who happens to be a doctoral student in UGM Psychology as well. Mas Hendy, as to how he is usually addressed in CICP, is also doing a research internship in CICP. The research is titled “Social Media & Mental Health of Youth Migration”. This training was held in the Faculty of Psychology’s G-100 Auditorium and was attended by 41 undergraduate and graduate students. The students were interns and non-interns.

Qualitative research is frequently applied in CICP’s research. Mas Hendy stated that ever since technology became an inseparable part of human’s’ works, there are a lot of technological utilities can be used. This can be understood as a new qualitative approach. A lot of mediums be used to gather data to become big data. Mas Hendy gave examples such as CCTV, biometric attendance systems, and wearable gadget data (watches, heart rhythm, bedtime, steps, distance). Not only that, technological advancements make it possible to utilize services such as Survey Monkey and Google Forms as mediums for data collection. Mas Hendy also said that social media such as Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook can provide big data.

After explaining theories and the phenomenons happening currently, Mas Hendy also talked about the software that can be used to help ease data collection and processing, such as Nvivo, RQDA, Atlas. ti, MAXQA, etc. On this occasion, Mas Hendy guided each participant through the software MAXQDA. All participants have prepared the software before the session. MAXQDA is one of the programs for data storage with a coding and categorization process. Through this software, qualitative data analysis can be done. Participants were taught step-by-step, starting with data collection from Twitter and Youtube. After they have finished collecting the data, participants were asked to observe the management of the data.

Workshop participants were impressed by how fast and easy it is for data to be collected. CICP successfully held this workshop to equip participants with management and analysis of data. This event can hopefully be a pioneer in supporting on-going research

The routine agenda, Theory Building Training (TBT), was held some time ago on April 26-27, 2019 in Universitas Gadjah Mada’s Faculty of Psychology. After last year’s basic level TBT, this year’s grounded theory-themed TBT was for the intermediate level, thus the participants were recommended to have already acquired the basics of qualitative research methodology. The event, TBT Intermediate: Grounded Theory, brought in Dr. Bagus Riyono, M.A. for the first day of training and T. Novi Poespita Chandra, M.Si. for the second day of training.

The TBT participants came from various institutions, such as Universitas Islam Indonesia, Universitas Al-Azhar Indonesia, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya, UIN Alauddin Makassar, Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata, UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya, as well as Universitas Gadjah Mada’s circle of academicians. The participants were also from various educational levels, starting from undergraduates to doctoral students. The registered participants had various motives to attend the training. Half of them wanted to deepen their knowledge about qualitative research by attending this training, not a few of them registered because of their academic needs such as for writing their dissertations, and there are participants who are motivated to attend to prepare them for their doctoral education.

There were 4 sessions on the first and second day. The first day of TBT was led by Dr. Bagus Riyono, M.A. The early sessions were lectures about the concepts of research using grounded theory, such as the general concept of the theory, the criteria for good theory, and also explanation about the realities that will be faced by grounded theory researchers in the field. One important thing to underline, according to Mr. Bagus, is that grounded theory research is not something easily done. A researcher has to be brave in digging up as many stories possible from respondents and should avoid asking irrelevant questions. Unfortunately, those kinds of questions are still asked by most researchers in order to extract stories. Dr. Bagus Riyono also warned participants about mental breakdowns, which grounded theory researchers are prone to experience.

T. Novi Poespita Chandra, M.Si. led the second day of TBT. In the first session, Mrs. Novi explained the Glaserian & Straussian schools of thought in grounded theory. She also provided an example of grounded theory research using her own research, titled “Gerakan Sekolah Menyenangkan (Fun School Movement)”. The next session was filled with explanations regarding the practice of data analysis that consists of data collecting, note-taking, coding, and categorization, memoing, sorting, and the last stage, writing. In her lecture regarding techniques in analyzing data, Mrs. Novi stressed how important it is for researchers to provide information regarding time, either on paper or in other mediums each time the researcher decides to change the order of the data for future reference.

The first and second day of training ended with practicing data analysis and presenting the results of the participant’s’ discussion. The participants were divided into several groups to practice what they learned from the speakers throughout the training series. At the end of each training day, there was a photo session with the speaker present on that day and the gifting of tokens of appreciation from the committee to each speaker. (CICP/Ratri Arista)
