Affective Evaluation Towards Pubertal Changes Scale for Indonesian Children Aged 9-12

Indonesian children aged 9–12 years were surveyed to develop a culturally relevant psychometric instrument. The dataset contains responses from 514 elementary school children, split into independent samples for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The instrument was developed and validated by Indri Utami Sumaryanti, with data last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Validating psychometric scales for children based on the described three-factor structure.
• Assessing measurement invariance across gender groups based on the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis.
• Studying affective attitudes towards puberty in a specific cultural context based on the instrument's focus on Indonesian children.

Strengths

• Dataset includes responses from 514 participants, providing a substantial sample size for validation.
• The validation process involved both exploratory factor analysis (n=264) and confirmatory factor analysis (n=250) on independent samples.
• The instrument demonstrated high internal consistency for each factor and the overall scale.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the final dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description notes an elevated discriminant validity estimate between two factors in the male subgroup, suggesting a potential limitation.
