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

A 2026 psychometric instrument developed and validated for assessing psychological readiness for puberty in Indonesian children aged 9-12 years. Created by Indri Utami Sumaryanti, the dataset includes responses from 514 elementary school children, split into independent samples for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The instrument demonstrates a three-factor structure with high internal consistency and cross-gender applicability.

Use Cases

• Validate psychometric scales for child development based on the described three-factor structure.
• Assess cross-gender measurement invariance in psychological instruments based on the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis performed.
• Study cultural adaptation of puberty assessment tools based on the instrument's development for the Indonesian context.
• Analyze the dimensionality of psychological constructs using bifactor modeling based on the analysis of a general attitude factor and specific subdimensions.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a sample of 514 children, providing a substantial basis for psychometric validation.
• Validation process included 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.
• Measurement invariance across gender was tested and supported, suggesting equivalence for male and female respondents.

Limitations

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