We study star formation rate (SFR) indicators and dust attenuation of 74 nearby star-forming galaxies on kiloparsec scales, based on GALEX far-ultraviolet (FUV) and WISE mid-infrared (MIR) images with CALIFA optical integral field spectroscopic data. We obtain hybrid SFR indicators by combining the observed FUV and MIR luminosities and calibrate them using the dust-corrected Hα luminosity as a reference SFR. The simple linear combination appears to follow well the reference SFR, but the calibration residual shows a significant dependence on the specific SFR (sSFR), which can be removed by employing the combination coefficient or conversion offset that varies with the sSFR. In the plane of gas versus stellar attenuation, the median trend line's slope (≈stellar-to-gas attenuation ratio) changes from 0.44 to 1.0 with increasing attenuation. The differential attenuation, defined as the deviation of stellar attenuation from the median trend line, is strongly correlated with the SFR surface density and sSFR, compatible with the two-component dust model. The differential attenuation seems to be affected by both local and global factors.
