Confirmatory factor analysis of celebrity worship, digital literacy, and nostalgia: Dataset of Indonesians

Abstract

This dataset is a measurement of Celebrity Worship (CWS), Digital Literacy (DL), and Nostalgia (NA). The participants were (1) For CWS, N = 3,223 people (181 males, 3042 females; Mage = 19.64 years old; SDage = 3.13 years), (2) For DL, N = 482 people (225 males, 257 females; Mage = 25.16 years old; SDage = 8.54 years), (3) For NA, N = 658 people (140 males, 518 females; Mage = 21.26 years old; SDage = 1.93 years). The data was obtained using a survey via Google Forms in June 2018 and April–July 2020 in Indonesia. The analysis techniques were confirmatory factor analyses/CFA using LISREL and test of differences using JASP. The data could be used by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics (KEMENKOMINFO), Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (KEMENDIKBUD), Indonesian Ministry of Youth and Sports (KEMENPORA), as well as social marketers to map the three constructs in Indonesian youth and to prevent the adverse effects and impacts of celebrity worship, digital illiteracy, and inappropriate mode of nostalgia.
