Abstract
Previous research adapted the BCEs-20 for Indonesian at-risk adults due to their vulnerability to mental health issues. However, it lacked thorough validity testing. Given these limitations, there is a critical need for further psychometric properties evaluation. This study aims to conduct a adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Benevolent Childhood Experiences (BCEs) scale among undergraduate students in Indonesia. Method: We recruited 239 undergraduate students aged 18-25 years using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis to test the construct validity and Alpha Cronbach to assess the reliability. The results showed that the Indonesian version of BCEs-20 had a good content validity. However, CFA showed that it met only 2 criteria from the fit indices RMSEA and SRMR, both of which were below the cut-off value of 0.8. Beside that, Alpha Cronbach demonstrated coefficients > 0.7. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the BCEs-20 exhibited adequate reliability but did not meet the standards for construct validity.
