Peran Pola Asuh terhadap Nasionalisme Remaja dari Keluarga Miskin di Kota Medan

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of parenting styles on nationalism among adolescents from poor families in Medan City using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The study involved 102 participants, adolescents from poor families in Medan City, with incomes below the poverty line (Rp695,295/capita/month), selected using an accidental sampling technique. The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) and the Nationalism Scale were used as measurement tools. The results showed that democratic parenting had a significant positive effect (p<0.001) with a contribution of 22.9%. Meanwhile, permissive (p=0.560) and authoritarian (p=0.073) parenting styles did not play a significant role. Nationalism among adolescents from poor families in Medan City tended to be high (54.9%), although the implementation of democratic parenting tended to be low (44.1%). The results suggest that strengthening democratic parenting styles can be a strategy for fostering more ideal nationalism, especially among adolescents from poor families in Medan City.
