The IMPACT OF AUTHORITARIAN PARENTING ON THE BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS AGED 12-15 IN BAKUNASE II VILLAGE

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the impact of authoritarian parenting on the behavior of adolescents aged 12-15 in RT 012, Bakunase II village. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative research. The researcher gathered a total of six primary data sources, consisting of three adolescents and three parents. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Observations were conducted using checklists. The data processing methods used in this study are (a) data reduction, (b) data presentation, and (c) conclusion drawing. The results of the research show that authoritarian parenting is a form of parenting that emphasizes parental control to ensure children are obedient and compliant. Parents with authoritarian parenting styles are forceful, strict, and rigid, setting various rules that children must follow without considering their feelings. The authoritarian parenting style applied by parents to adolescents has several positive impacts, including making children obedient to their parents, aligning children with parental expectations, making children more responsible in life, and instilling discipline. However, the negative impacts include children not being obedient to their parents, being unhappy, easily offended, sullen and withdrawn, lacking self-confidence and decisiveness, and being less courageous in expressing their opinions.
