Abstract

The present research aims to analyze the scale of happiness measurement of multiethnic teenagers in Indonesia based on Rasch Model, the standardization of happiness scale which applies the Rasch Model analysis is assumed to produce more accurate, consistent and suitable results with the other standard instrument. The instrument is adapted from Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) which developed by Diener. The determined research sample implements simple random sampling technique and Prety Random sampling generator application. The size of sample makes use of 99% confidence level and 5% margin of error. According to verification result, 606 of 610 answer sheets are capable to be processed. The result of Rasch Model based instrument analysis provides four main information, such as person-item map, item analysis, participants’ ability analysis and instrument analysis. Implementing Rasch Model in the calibration and the standardization of happiness instrument have accomplished the required criteria and have produced instrument validity for each item. 11 items are not approved the standard criteria as the measuring instrument and 34 items are invalid as the formulation of happiness data. The value of Cronbach Alpha, which presents the interaction between person and overall specific item, achieves good category. Furthermore, the value of Person Reliability reaches fair category and the value of Item Reliability achieves excellent category.
