Research on growth mindset shows a positive trend in the recent years. The importance of the growth mindset for students is growing to be a center in education, but the valid scale to assess the variable in Indonesia is still limited. The study aims to measure the validity and reliability of the adaptation mindset scale in the Indonesian context. The scale was developed by Carol Dweck in 2008. The study recruited 554 students from universities consisting of students in diploma, bachelor, master, and doctoral programs in Indonesia. The research used the Rasch model to test the validity and reliability of the mindset scale instrument considering the five Fisher's criteria. The results indicated good results based on the internal consistency of the instrument with a reliability value of 0.99 and Cronbach's alpha value of 0.88. The construction validation of the scale still did not meet the fair criteria on the Fisher standard (Fisher, 2007), but the number was found acceptable according to some studies. Meanwhile, the results of the misfit test showed that each item had met the standard of a good instrument in which the MNSQ value was between 0.71-1.4 in the good category. The recommendation for further study was discussed.

The purpose of this study is to determine how winning and losing affect the heart rate variability of soccer players. 10 licensed soccer players participated in the study who are also e-soccer players. 2 inner balance heart math biofeedback device was used to collect data. 7 e-soccer tournaments were organized to collect the data. Data were only collected from matches in which goals were scored and ended with a win or loss. As soon as a winning or losing situation occurred psychometric measurements were started simultaneously from 2 players for 1 minute. After the tournaments were finished with 93 winnings and 93 losses psychometric data was received. Results have shown that players had higher coherence (HRV) while winning, on the contrary, the coherence levels were very low while losing. A significant difference was found in players' coherence levels between winning and losing situations. In simple words players emotionally felt better when they were winning. This supports the theory that even though the game is electronic the emotions are real looking at the HRVs of the players.
