People are always larger
than a single point of view.

We connect psychological research, measurement, and practitioners' experience. To understand problems more fully—and to develop knowledge that is useful.

Cover of The Findings 02: Reading the Level of Interest Differentiation among Indonesian StudentsThe Findings

Reading the level of interest differentiation among Indonesian students

Do interest profiles become more differentiated at higher levels of education? An Anvesana study of 2,869 school and university students found no linear increase. The Findings 02 looks at the shape of RIASEC interest profiles by gender and level of education.

NoteThe effects of gender and level of education are small. This cross-sectional study does not measure change in an individual's interests over time; low differentiation is material for exploration, not a sign of having no interests.

Anvesana brought the preliminary Next Chapter study to the International Conference on Psychology 2026 at Universitas Muria Kudus to test whether game-based tasks can measure cognitive ability, and to hear feedback from psychology researchers and practitioners.

NoteA preliminary study with 51 participants. What the data support is the composite score, not the score of each game.

Mengacu pada riset terhadap lebih dari 17.000 partisipan di sektor pendidikan, ditemukan pola penularan burnout yang hierarkis antarpekerja. Dengan pendekatan whole-being dan teori sistem ekologis Bronfenbrenner, artikel ini menekankan pentingnya intervensi berbasis komunitas dan iklim kerja yang sehat untuk mencegah burnout secara menyeluruh.
