Abstract

Background: Social support is a key psychological construct that has been widely examined across various research contexts. Cohen’s theory of social support underlies the development of the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL-40), which measures perceived social support. Although the ISEL-40 has been translated into several languages, empirical validation of its full version in the Indonesian context has been limited and methodologically constrained in prior studies.

Purpose: This study aims to illuminate the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the ISEL-40.

Method: This study involved 600 respondents from the Central Java Province and the Special Region of Yogyakarta, language and culture adjustments, and reliability analyses using Cronbach's Alpha, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS).

Findings: The results indicate that the Indonesian ISEL-28 demonstrates adequate reliability and construct validity. The overall Cronbach’s alpha was .910, while CFA results showed acceptable model fit (RMSEA = .079; RMR = .050). Implication: The validated Indonesian ISEL-28 supports culturally relevant research and practice and provides a foundation for future cross cultural studies in Indonesia.
