Online TOPSE: Measuring Parental Self-Efficacy in Indonesia

Abstract

The study’s objective was to adapt and evaluate the tool to measure parenting self-efficacy in a way that was acceptable for Indonesia’s unique cyberparenting context, taking into account local customs and the growing use of digital platforms in families. A total of 202 parents were gathered as study participants, and the TOPSE was meticulously adjusted to suit the Indonesian context. The results showed a four-factor scale structure consistent with Indonesian culture. The equipment’s remarkable durability emphasizes the correctness of the procedure. This study is noteworthy for its creative approach to creating a personalized assessment tool and for emphasizing the urgent need for contextualized understanding of parental self-efficacy in the digital era. This is a significant improvement in the use and integration of psychological research to improve child development and parental involvement in online learning environments, according to professionals and parents alike. It also sets a new standard for research-based, culturally aware online parenting tools.
