Dataset from the Indonesian Adaptation of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) for Emerging Adults

This dataset was generated from the Indonesian adaptation of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), developed to assess depressive symptoms among emerging adults. Data were collected from 236 participants aged 18-29 years residing in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, with 221 valid responses retained after applying eligibility criteria.

The dataset includes responses to 20 self-report items measuring depressive symptoms and demographic variables (age, gender, education). The CES-D was translated and culturally adapted following international guidelines using forward–backward translation and expert review to ensure conceptual and linguistic equivalence.

Accompanying files include the dataset file (.xlsx/.csv) output containing reliability and confirmatory factor analysis results. The model showed good fit (χ²(166) = 296.639, p < .001; RMSEA = 0.041; CFI = 0.932; TLI = 0.922; SRMR = 0.057) and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.915).

The dataset supports the reliability and validity of the Indonesian CES-D and can inform future studies on depression among emerging adults.
