Abstract

The Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) is an instrument for assessing perceived social support. It exists in both full and short forms, with the short version (ISEL-16) offering practical advantages in terms of efficiency for assessments and research. To date, there is no adapted version of the ISEL-16 available in Indonesian. This study aimed to adapt and validate the ISEL-16 for use in Indonesia through psychometric analysis. The adaptation process followed ITC guidelines, including obtaining permission, conducting back-to-back translations, evaluating language comparability and interpretability, and testing the instrument on a sample population. 292 active students were recruited using quota sampling. Validity and reliability were assessed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in AMOS 23. Results indicated that the ISEL-16 exhibits a good model fit with four factors: appraisal, tangible assets, belonging, and self-esteem. The findings confirm that the Indonesian version of the ISEL-16 is a valid and reliable measure of perceived students’ social support. Theoretically, the adaptation reinforces the four-dimensional structure of social support previously established. Practically, it can be used to predict stress-related outcomes, such as crisis-related and academic stress, and is recommended for time- and resource-constrained research scenarios as well as for classical tests or exploratory studies.
