PERANAN POLA ASUH ORANG TUA TERHADAP KUALITAS HIDUP REMAJA PERKOTAAN

Abstract

In an effort to improve the progress of the Indonesian nation, it is necessary to pay attention to all levels of society, especially the young people who will be the pillars of the Indonesian nation in the future. One fourth of Indonesia's population is children and adolescents. Other studies have shown that parenting can influence a child's level of self-confidence, academic performance, and children's behavior. This research was to examine the "Role of Parents’ Parenting towards Urban Adolescents’ Quality of Life". A quantitative method with non-experimental was used and attended by 381 State High School students (SMAN), ages of 14-19 years in schools of X and Y in X city, namely 234 girls and 147 boys. Measuring instruments used are Youth Quality of Life (YQOL) and parenting measuring instruments that have been adapted. Based on the results of different tests on parenting parents with One-way Anova obtained values of F = 10,203, p = .000 < .05 untuk pola asuh ibu, dan F = 6.146, p = .000 < .05 untuk pola asuh ayah, sehingga terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kualitas hidup dengan pola asuh orangtua. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, remaja dengan pola asuh orangtua yang “authoritative” memiliki kualitas hidup yang tinggi, dimana orang tua mendorong, juga memberikan batasan, remaja menjadi pribadi yang mandiri. Sementara, remaja dengan pola asuh orangtua yang “neglectful” memiliki kualitas hidup yang rendah, dimana kurang keterlibatan orangtua dalam kehidupan anak, remaja menjadi pribadi tidak mandiri, kurang kompeten bersosialisasi dan kurang pengendalian diri.
