Perbedaan Kesepian Ditinjau dari Pola Komunikasi Keluarga pada Remaja

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences in loneliness in terms of family communication patterns that are categorized into four types, namely consensual, pluralistic, protective, and laissez-faire in adolescents. Loneliness is an unpleasant feeling that can be experienced by individuals and can occur due to a lack of social relationships that are established, causing individuals to lose closeness and intimacy in a relationship. Family communication patterns are the way family members communicate and interact with each other and include the way they talk, listen and understand each other. The research method used is a quantitative method, with 347 adolescents aged 17-18 years as research subjects, selected using the Incendental sampling technique. Data collection used a Likert scale consisting of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 scale which measures loneliness and the Revised Family Communication Pattern (RFCP) scale which measures family communication patterns. Data analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA to test differences in loneliness in terms of family communication patterns in adolescents. The results of the study showed that there were differences in loneliness in adolescents in terms of family communication patterns, F(70, 276) = 1,55, p = .000, η² = 0,39. Post-hoc test showed that laissez-faire family communication patterns had the highest levels of loneliness compared to those from consensual, pluralistic and protective family communication patterns had high levels of loneliness but not as high as laissez-faire family communication patterns. This finding indicates that less supportive family communication patterns can increase the risk of loneliness in adolescents.
